Rakan Niō Ken


Rakan Niō Ken (羅漢仁王拳, Arhat Deva King Fist, अर्हत् वज्रपानि मुष्टि)

A 5,000 year old assassination style Indian martial art with huge destructive power said to turn its user into an incarnation of a Devil. It is used by Devil Rebirth, a prisoner in Villainy Prison who was convicted of killing 700 people with only one use of this style. The name "Devil Rebirth" itself is also the title of the style's successor. The style was so brutal and destructive, it was banned by the emperor.

NotesEdit

  • The description of Rakan Niō Ken matches that of Arakan no Ken (阿羅漢之拳), a probably apocryphal martial art mentioned by Doshin So which was incorporated into Shorinji Kempo. There is an actual Chinese Arhat Fist called Luohan quan.
