Gundam. Probably. Feels like Ive seen a lot of gundam references.
Andrew Sullivan
Yes.
Your screenshot isn't even a HnK reference.
Jeremiah Reyes
Elaborate?

Was HnK your first action show or movie ever?

2 people jump kicking each others originated in Hokuto no Ken.
Austin Brown
No, it didn't.
And it's not even two people in your image.
Elijah Johnson
Also, even if it did originate from there, that doesn't make it a reference.
Chase Russell
At what point does it constitute itself as a reference?
Jackson Ross
When people go "oh yeah, that's like in that other anime".
For HnK that's usually a change of the art style, or a depiction of scars. Sometimes it's also a presentation of a post-nuclear wasteland, but with those you have to be careful not to confuse them with MadMax references. As far as combat techniques are concerned, it would be the "you're already dead" types. Passing each other by in an attack and seeing the victor remain standing afterwards is way too common to be associated with HnK.
Blake Lopez
Pretty sure this is a Jojo reference.
Lincoln Miller
Initial D?

Dragonball, Sailormoon, Gundam, NGE, Doraemon, Lupin III etc all get plenty of references.
Akira, Ashita no Joe and HnK are very present too.
I think there is a point to be made about the nature of the references though. While most of the references are just about recreating scenes or art styles (or just hiding a character in a crowd), there are a few that are more context sensitive. I can't think of a very good example right now though.

One day the Japanese will find out that you can't cut through a solid plate of something with a blade made of the same material.
