'''Nanto Suichō Ken''' (南斗水鳥拳, ''South Dipper Waterbird Fist'', also translated as ''South Dipper Waterfowl Fist''): a form of ''[[Nanto Seiken]]'' represented by its successor, [[Rei]], as part of the [[Nanto Rokusei Ken]] (Six Sacred Fists of Nanto). Its movements are compared to a graceful water bird, however, its destructive power is without equal and can slaughter enemies with its devastating slicing techniques.

The user sacrifices his life to defeat the enemy in which Rei concentrates all his life force and power on pressing attack on the enemy, leaving him no room to defend himself. Based on Raoh's speculation, the technique is strong enough to kill both him and Rei. In ''[[Hokuto Musō]]'', Rei leaps in the air and presses the ground lightly with his hand. The ground is ruptured, and any enemies within range instantly die and spares Rei gameplay-wise. </span>
