While the Nanto asterism is unrelated to the Southern Cross, the Southern Cross itself serves as the symbol of Nanto Seiken in the series and it is also the name of Shin's stronghold. The Raijin Master Edition alternates between the two names, using Southern Cross in the early volumes and South Star for the rest. The former is used in the Viz edition of the English manga and the live-action movie, whereas the latter is used in the English dub of the anime. In the official English versions of Fist of the North Star, this style is referred to as the Fist of the Southern Cross or Fist of the South Star, depending on the translation. The Nanto Sei Ken style is named after the Chinese asterism Nanto Roku Sei ( 南斗六星 literally, South Dipper Six Stars), a portion of Sagittarius known as the Milk Dipper in the West.
