Nanto Seiken: Difference between revisions - Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia

Line 23:

There are six primary [[Nanto Sei Ken|Nanto Sei Ken]] masters, the '''Nanto Rokusei Ken''' (南斗六聖拳, ''Six Sacred Fists of Nanto''), to correspond to the six stars in the [[Nanto Roku Sei|Nanto Roku Sei]] constellation. Each member of the Rokusei is destined to follow the star they represent, and each fate was awakened at its own time independent of the other Rokusei. Originally each of the six masters was a guard at each of the six gates of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_of_China emperor]'s palace. When [[Yuda|Yuda]] betrayed the Nanto Roku Sei Ken by joining [[Raoh|Raoh]], the Nanto stars went into disarray, summoning Hokuto to restore order.

==Nanto Goshasei==

The five guardians of the Last Nanto General are each trained in their own unique fighting styles. With the exception of Juza, who uses a self-taught style, the origins of each of the Goshasei's fighting styles are never fully explained. They are not counted among the 108 sects of Nanto Seiken. However, their techniques can "cut" like the Nanto Technique with the exception of Ocean Style. Hyui and Shuren manipulate wind and flame respectively to slice their opponents, whereas Fudoh fractures his opponents with brute force. Juza's self-taught style focuses on wrestling techniques, contorting and breaking his enemies. In the TV series, Rihaku veritably uses powerful flying kicks and lunges befitting a tidal wave.

The Nanto Seiken, as previously mentioned, is composed of over 108 sects. However, only a few of them outside the Roku Seiken are featured in the manga. The majority of the Nanto Seiken styles were featured in the ''Hokuto no Ken'' anime series, as well as spin-off manga.
