Raoh: Difference between revisions

: As a master of Hokuto Shinken, Raoh boasts extraordinary fighting power. He uses the [[Keiraku Hikō|hidden vital points]] to inflict a slow and agonizing death on those who oppose him - as was the case with Rei. Raoh further added martial arts stolen from Cassandra into his fighting style and displayed techniques from both ''[[Nanto Seiken]]'' and ''[[Rakan Niō Ken]]'' in the TV series.

:His ''[[Gō no Ken]]'' (Strong Fist) style overpowers enemies with immense force and enhances his own strength depending on his opponent. Toki describes his style as being akin to a strong current that becomes raging and more violent in face of another strong current. Raoh possesed mastery over [[Tōki]] an aura he could channel for different effects and even shield him from attacks by repelling them with his own power, and could even use this aura for his own devastating long range blasts. Raoh had great strength to go along with his size, and could (in particular in the anime) send several people flying with a mere swing of his fists, destroying them in brutal ways and even pulverize through steel and bone instantly.

:Raoh was an extremely powerful adversary and could defeat Rei, Kenshiro, Toki, amongst many others by himself. It took until Kenshiro mastered Muso Tensei for the King of Fists to be truly defeated.

: Raoh has seen several incarnations of himself in the various Hokuto no Ken media. In the original manga color illustrations, Raoh is depicted with white skin and blonde hair. However, like much of the cast, his palette was altered for Toei Animation's TV series, which opted for a swarthier complexion and jet-black hair. Depending on the animators, Raoh also appears older and more rugged than his manga counterpart in some episodes. Modern installments, such as the ''[[Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken|True Savior Legend]]'' series and ''[[Ten no Haoh]]'' are closer to the manga, depicting Raoh with silver and blonde hair respectively and lighter skin tones.
