If you love "Viral Hit" (How to Fight) for its mix of gritty street fighting, an underdog protagonist learning to scrap from scratch, internet culture, and high-intensity school delinquency, you are looking for specific vibes. You want intense martial arts, realistic progression, or the sheer adrenaline of street gangs.Here are the top 10 anime like "Viral Hit," presented in plain text.LookismThis is the most obvious choice because it takes place in the exact same universe (the PTJ Universe) created by the same author. It follows Park Hyung-seok, an overweight, heavily bullied high schooler who wakes up one day with a second, completely perfect, athletic body. While it starts as a social commentary on how people treat others based on looks, it quickly evolves into a massive, high-stakes street-fighting and crew-war narrative filled with martial arts just like Viral Hit. Hajime no Ippo (Fighting Spirit)If your favorite part of Viral Hit is Hobin watching videos to learn how to counter specific martial arts step-by-step, this is the ultimate blueprint. Ippo Makunouchi is a timid high schooler who gets severely bullied until a professional boxer saves him and brings him to a gym. Ippo has no natural fighting skills, but through insane grit, scientific training, and learning how to throw a proper punch, he climbs the ranks. The progression feels incredibly earned and grounded.Kenichi: The Mightiest DiscipleKenichi Shirahama is a weak, book-loving high schooler who is constantly picked on by delinquents. Desperate to protect himself, he joins a dojo called Ryozanpaku, which happens to be full of legendary, superhuman grandmasters of various martial arts (Muay Thai, Karate, Ju-Jitsu, Kenpo). Much like Hobin learning from Samdak’s videos, Kenichi goes through grueling, practical training to fight off an underground syndicate of high school delinquents called Ragnarok.Kengan AshuraIf you want to skip the high school drama and go straight into brutal, tactical underground martial arts, this is it. It focuses on corporate gladiatorial matches where massive companies hire elite fighters to settle business disputes. The main character, Ohma Tokita, uses a unique, precise style of martial arts. The show breaks down the mechanics, anatomy, and strategies behind every single style (Boxing, Pro Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu) in a way that fans of Hobin's tactical breakdowns will love.Baki (The Grappler)Baki takes the martial arts aspect of Viral Hit and turns the intensity up to an absolute eleven. It follows Baki Hanma as he trains to surpass his father, the strongest creature on Earth. It features violent street fights, underground arenas, and death-row convicts. Like Viral Hit, it heavily features real-world martial arts styles, but exaggerates them into peak-human, bone-shattering spectacles.Crows Zero (or the anime OVA: Crows)Viral Hit deals heavily with the hierarchy of school delinquents, local crews, and street status. Crows is the gold standard of Japanese delinquent culture (Sukeban/Yankee). It focuses on Suzuran All-Boys High School, a lawless wasteland of fighters where students constantly brawl to reach the "top" of the school hierarchy. It captures the same raw, weapon-wielding, fist-flying street energy.Tokyo RevengersWhile this series includes a sci-fi time-travel twist, the core of the show is pure school delinquent gang warfare. The protagonist, Takemichi, is a total weakling and a loser—very similar to Hobin at the start of Viral Hit. He has to use his brain, sheer willpower, and knowledge of the future to navigate violent street crews, stop corrupt leaders, and earn the respect of legendary fighters.Megalo BoxFor the gritty, underground, money-making vibe of Viral Hit's early streaming days, Megalo Box delivers. It's a futuristic reimagining of Ashita no Joe where boxers fight wearing mechanical gear. The protagonist, Junk Dog, fights in illegal, underground rings just to survive. To make a statement, he enters the world's biggest tournament wearing no gear at all ("Gearless Joe"), relying purely on raw technique, evasion, and counter-punching.Wind BreakerIf you like the "street fighters with a heart of gold" aspect of later arcs in Viral Hit, watch this. It follows Haruka Sakura, an outcast who moves to a town protected by a high school gang known as Bofurin. Instead of being mindless thugs, these delinquents protect the neighborhood from actual criminals. It is packed with high-tier choreography, stylized street fights, and a heavy focus on crew dynamics. My Life as a Loser (Manga/Webtoon - Note for Fans)While it hasn't received a full anime adaptation yet, this is another crucial entry in the PTJ Universe (same creator as Viral Hit and Lookism). It follows a bully who gets cursed to inhabit the body of the kid he ruined in high school. It features the exact same blend of high school martial arts, comedic timing, and raw street fights as Viral Hit. Keep an eye out for it on reading lists while you wait for more anime adaptations.
