    School Hokuto Ryū Ken
    Katsu Hagan (or "Scream-Grabbing Jab") is the signature attack of Shachi and the Hokuto Ryū Ken counterpart to the Hokuto Zankai Ken in that it's used to finish off an opponent; the move gets its name from the fact that an enemy struck but is unable to cry out after the impact, leaving them to die in silence moments later. Whereas the Zankai Ken stabs at the temples, Katsu Hagan directly strikes the opponent's forehead with both hands directly, with their body imploding shortly afterwards.
    Shachi was able to adapt this move several times during his career as the Rakshasa. He was rather fond of using a version of this move to leave a Shura unable to move or even react until his allies found him, at which point he violently imploded as a grim warning to his compatriots.
