Han: Difference between revisions

The Third [[Rashō]] of the [[Land of Asura]], Han fights with hurricane-like ''[[Hokuto Ryū Ken]]'' techniques, which are so fast that they cannot be followed by the human eye and cast no shadow.  

As Third General, Han ruled over the Land of Asura alongside his fellow leaders [[Hyoh]] and [http://hokuto.wikia.com/wiki/Kaioh Kaioh]. With his life in constant danger of assassination due to being the weakest Rasho, he claims to have lost count after killing the 100th assassin. Han frequently laments the boredom of his daily life as nobody was able to provide him with a true challenge, and would spend his time playing chess against himself. Despite his brutality, he is less brutal than Kaioh as he occasionally spares his would-be assassins, mostly because he feels that they are not worth killing or can provide him amusement. He ends up fighting [[Kenshiro]] after the latter arrives at his castle to rescue [[Lin]], who was brought there earlier by [[Shachi]] as part of his plan to have Han fight Kenshiro. Han is the one who reveals Kenshiro's origin to him during their fight. Following an intense battle, Kenshiro manages to damage his vision and then finishes him with the ''[[Hyakuretsu Ken]]''.

Before his death, Han warns Kenshiro that he will never defeat the Second Rashō ([[Hyoh]]) and only misery and death awaits him if he meets Hyo doesn't turn back, before plummeting into the river below. His body later washes up inside Hyoh's castle, who mourns the death of his friend and vows vengeance against his murderer.

Like his fellow generals, Han was a master of the ''[[Hokuto Ryū Ken]], ''a sister fighting style to Kenshiro's [http://hokuto.wikia.com/wiki/Hokuto_Shinken ''Hokuto Shinken'']. His prowess allowed him to ascend to the esteemed position of Third Rasho of Asura, trumped in power only by Hyo and [[Kaioh]]. Han's particular skill lay in his exceptional speed, which was untraceable by human eyes save for exceptionally strong fighters like Kenshiro. Even Shachi, one of the strongest fighters in the Land of Asura and fellow user of Hokuto Ryu Ken, was unable to follow Han's movements during their first encounter.

Han was also shown to be highly resistant to poison, as he drank an entire goblet of poisoned wine without any ill side effects. It is highly possible that he uses his matoki to nullify the poison as his eyes shine when he ingests the poison.

Despite this, his skills, Han is shown to be unable to perform Anryu Tenha, making him the weakest Rasho.
