Nanto Ho-oh Ken

Nanto Hōō Ken

(南斗鳳凰拳, South Dipper Fenghuang Phoenix Fist): The ultimate form of Nanto Seiken practiced by Souther, it is a free-form style without stances or forced routine. Due to the lack of stance, this style has no defense and focuses on pure speed and attacking power. The user has the ability to glide forward, leading into a powerful scissor attack.

This style is taught in the ways of Isshi Sōden (一子相伝), which roughly translates as 'there can absolutely be only one successor to this style'; this means that the successor must kill his teacher.

Techniques

	Bakusei Ha (南斗爆星波, South Dipper Exploding Star Wave):
	Hōo Enbu Jin (Flaming Blade of the Phoenix) ㊙: Thouzer surrounds himself in a large aura shaped as though it were a phoenix. It seems to soar a few feet forward before it explodes the area around him. Thouzer ends the move with his arms outstretched in the air.
	Hōo Kotō Kaiten (Inmortal Phoenix): Thouzer emits a yell and surrounds himself in a violent tinted aura. It boasts an extremely sturdy defense, making it difficult to damage him for a time.
	Hōshō Jūji Hō (彷翔十字鳳, Resemble Soaring Cross Phoenix):
	Kōzan Shō (South Dipper Spirit Blade): Thouzer empowers one of his hands, lifting it overhead for a violet aura. He hops into the air and spins, slicing the ground below in one motion.
	Kyokusei Jūji Ken (極星十字拳, Pole Star Cross Fist): Thouzer stuns his foes with an energy shockwave, deals a series of punches, before slicing them horizontally with an energy slash from his fingers. He finishes the cross with an overhead stomp.
	Kyokusei Jūji Shōha Fu (Polar Star Cross Blast) ㊙: Thouzer rushes forward and instantly slices the air with both hands. It appears the foes behind are untouched, but they explode as soon as he rises back to his feet.
	Raitei (Lightning Strike): After shouting that he doesn't need love, lightning surrounds the area around him and sends foes flying. It cannot be blocked and creates abnormal effects to surviving foes.
	Raku Ho Ha (Swooping Phoenix): Thouzer hops into the air and summons a phoenix like the previous technique. This time, he sends the "beast" flying forward to trap several victims within it. As he lands, Thouzer signals one of his arms and it flies to the sky.
	Seitei Jūji Ryō (聖帝十字陵, Holy Emperor Cross Mausoleum):
	Shōzan Shō (South Dipper Hovering Slash): Thouzer spirals himself into the air before he crashes back down to the ground, emitting an aura that stuns his foes away. As he laughs, his victims explode around him.

	Tenshō Jūji Hō (天翔十字鳳, Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix): The one and only stance of Nanto Hōō Ken, it is assumed when facing a worthy opponent. Souther holds his arms out evenly and launches into a powerful aerial attack of unimaginable speed.
