Hokuto Shinken: Difference between revisions

*'''Kentō Shadan''' (拳盗捨断, ''Fist-Stealing Sacrifice Judgment''): This technique is the most powerful attack when facing the Rashō of Hokuto Ryuken. Ken uses this technique—a swift vertical chop with the hand—to weaken Kaio's block and critically injure his arms, and it was also the decisive attack in their final battle, turning around a fight that had previously been in Kaio's favor. It is therefore considered to be a very powerful form of attack.

*'''Kōshu Gyakusetsu''' (北斗絞首逆折, ''Hanging Reverse Break''): Twisted head around on a Taisan Guard.

*'''Kōshu Hagan Ken''' (交首破顔拳, ''Neck Twisting Face Breaking Fist''): Broke [[Diamond]]'s face in half.

*'''Kokū Zan''' (北斗虚空斬, ''North Dipper Void Slash''): Kenshiro developed this technique to counter Shin's aerial flying kick, but it was also used to counter the South Star Human Cannonball technique. In the latter case, the adversary was left completely paralyzed (Afterwards, Kenshiro fires this enemy out of a cannon).
