Hokuto Shinken: Difference between revisions

*'''Tenha Kassatsu''' (天破活殺, ''Heaven Breaking Life or Death'') ㊙ : A secret technique, similar to '''Hokuto Gōsho Ha''', in that the aspect of the fighter's Tōki (闘気) being expelled through their hands. However, with the '''Tenha Kassatsu''', their Tōki is transmitted via the fingertips into the adversary, penetrating the body and causing Tōki to erupt from the body in the pattern of the "Big Dipper" constellation, piercing even solid objects behind them. This technique was used by Kenshiro against Souther during their final battle atop the Pyramid of the Holy Emperor. In ''[[Souten no Ken]]'', this technique is revealed to be one of the secrets Shuken learned from the Seito Gekken style.

*'''Tenryū Kokyū Hō''' (転龍呼吸法, ''Art of Dragon's Breathing'') ㊙: A method of breathing that allows the Hokuto Shinken practitioner to tap into their body's full potential. A normal human uses but 30% of their body's strength so Tenryū is used to tap into that other 70%. A technique of utmost secrecy, anyone who sees it being performed must be killed to protect one of Hokuto Shinken's greatest advantages over other styles. Use of this technique causes Kenshiro's jacket to burst. He only announces this technique twice during the series, however it is assumed that he uses it every time his jacket explodes when fighting against a strong opponent.

*'''Tenshō Raigeki''' (北斗天将雷撃, ''North Dipper Commanding Lightning Strike''): A chop that Raoh delivered to Toki.
