Hokuto no Ken: Kyūkyokuban (北斗の拳 究極版, lit.

Each volume features new cover art illustrated by Tetsuo Hara specifically for this edition. in 2021, VIZ Media started publishing English releases of the Manga which use the Ultimate Edition volumes & artwork, and released them under their "VIZ Signature" series,
