Nanto Gosha Sei

    From Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia | HnKWiki

    The five members of the Nanto Gosha Sei (南斗五車星, "Five Chariot Stars of the South Dipper") are each trained in their own unique fighting styles. Not much is elaborated on the origins of the Goshasei, other than the fact that Jūza's style is a self-taught fist. The Goshasei are not counted among the 108 sects of Nanto Seiken.

    Gosha Martial Arts

    • Gosha Fūretsu Ken (五車風裂拳, Five Chariots Wind Split Fist): Hyūi's style, which allows him to manipulate the air to slice enemies and also to enhance his own speed.
    • Gosha Enjō Ken (五車炎情拳, Five Chariots Passionate Flame Fist): Shuren's style, which allows him to manipulate fire to engulf enemies and burn them in-half, whilst he is protected from the temperature.
    • Garyū Ken (我流拳, Self-Taught Fist): Jūza's style is free-form with no set stance and his fighting ability rivals that of Raoh according to Ryūken. Juza's style is comprised primarily of rapid kick techniques and grappling attacks. His main technique is the Gekiheki Haisui Shō (撃壁背水掌, Dambuster Last Stand Palm).
    • Gosha Sanga Zan (五車山峨斬, Five Chariots Mountain Slash): Fudō's style; this is referred to, by Raoh, as the Fist of the Ogre (鬼の拳, Oni no Ken)and relies primarily on crushing his opponent with his brute strength and stature.
    • Gosha Hasui Ken (五車波砕拳, Five Chariots Wave Crush Fist): Rihaku's style, which gives him the ability to throw himself at his enemies with the strength of a tidal wave. In the original manga, Rihaku doesn't display any martial arts ability. Therefore, the Ocean style is depicted only in the TV series.
