Go no Ken

    From Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia | HnKWiki

    Gō no Ken (剛の拳 Fist of Strength) is a style of Hokuto Shinken created by Raoh. As the name implies, it uses immense force to overwhelm its opponents and can be used to augment the user's own strength. Toki imitated this style in his attempt to defeat Raoh after pressing the Sekkatsu-kō vital point to boost his power.


    Raoh’s Hokuto Shin Ken (Fist of Strenght) style

    Enshō Ha (北斗円掌波, Big Dipper Circle Palm Wave): Used by Raoh in Ten no Haoh.

    Gōshō Ha (北斗剛掌波), Big Dipper Iron Palm Wave): Raoh's trademark technique; it attacks the adversary outside the practitioner's reach. To achieve this, the fighter expels a large amount of their tōki (闘気, battle aura) from the palm of their hand, creating a powerful wave.

    Gōten Shō (North Star Strong Heaven Rush): Raoh raises his fist towards the heavens and projects a powerful wave of energy towards the sky. People who stand close to him will get hurt by the waves of energy rising upwards. The technique isn't given an official name in the original series.

    Haten Kaijin (North Star Heaven Quaking Destruction Fist): Raoh powers up a single fist, raising it briefly toward the heavens. He then smashes downward for a devastating blow forward. Again, the move is likely a reference to Raoh's One Hit Finishing Blow appearing in the aforementioned fighting game (though under a different name).

    Hikkō Shinkeshu (Secret Opening Fresh Blood Anxiety):Raoh punches his opponent in the torso and brutally raises them over his head with his fist. His attack causes his opponent to experience excruciating agony. In the original release of the comic, it isn't given an official name and the namesake of the game's version is a direct quote from Raoh. He originally used the move against Rei and cuts his foe's life to three painful days.

    Itten Shō (北斗一点鐘, Big Dipper Point Chime): A powerful fist which pushes away the opponent.

    Ken'Oh Tensei Geki (Fist King Heavenly Blow): Raoh summons a huge ball of energy to crash down on his foes.

    Koku Ten Satsu (Black Heaven Kill): Raoh raises his fist to emit a tiny whirlwind and calls for his horse. He then simply crosses his arms as Kokuougou jumps in and smashes foes in front of him. Can only be used if Kokuougou is with him and also instantly relocates Kokuougou on the map. His horse can also be used by Kenshiro.

    Musō Insatsu (無想陰殺, Unconscious Shadow Kill): An instinctive counter-attack used by Raoh against Toki.

    Raretsu Ken (北斗羅裂拳, Big Dipper Gauze Fissure Fist): Raoh begins by powering up a single fist for a mighty overhead strike. While his enemies are stunned by the impact, he immediately follows with a barrage of rapid-fire punches. Finishing them off with a single kick, he crosses his arms as they whirl away from him.

    Shinten Rai (North Star Heaven Shaking Thunder): Raoh powers up and projects a destructive dome of energy around him. It blows his victims within range far away from him.

    Shū Renda (北斗輯連打, Big Dipper Collected Barrage): A series of fists which causes blood to leaked out from the pores of the opponent's body.

    Tenshō Honretsu (天将奔烈, Heaven's Command Charge): A rotating hand charge which fires a large wave of tōki. Raoh's ultimate technique.

    Tenshō Raigeki (北斗天将雷撃, Big Dipper Commanding Lightning Strike): A chop that Raoh delivered to Toki.

    Toki no Aura (Fighting Spirit Aura): Raoh could attack an enemy with his "Touki" Aura.

    Zenrei no Ken (全霊の拳, Fist of One's Whole Soul): Also known as Hokuto Mettei Ha (北斗滅天把, Big Dipper Destruction Heaven Wave), or Hokuto Hatenkai Ken (北斗把天壊拳, Big Dipper Grasp-Heaven Demolition Fist). Raoh's final attack; he concentrated his life force into a single punch but it was defeated by Kenshirō.

    Toki’s Hokuto Shin Ken (Fist of Strenght) style

    Saiha Ken (北斗砕覇拳, Big Dipper Breaking Supremacy Fist): Toki's "Gōken" uppercut against Raoh.

    Tōkei Kohō (闘勁呼法, The Breathing of Strong Battle): A secret breathing technique which focuses strength through inhalation before releasing it upon exhalation.

    Kenshiro’s Hokuto Shin Ken (Fist of Strenght) style
