Very true, and I like how different types of martial arts are introduced in this manga. I never knew of Sambo or Pencak Silat until after reading some of chapters of Kenichi in which those forms of martial arts were utilized.

And I can tell you, that not all the martial arts styles in HSDK are passed on real ones, but mostly copys of others and juiced up a notches by inspiration or imagination, but I guess I could shed some light on you about some of the styles, wether there real or not or just copys of those in real life. Hibiki Kugenin or Siegfried For exemple, Go no Sen or Go no sen no kata is a judo kata that focuses on counter-attacks to throwing techniques. Shigure Kōsaka And Kōsaka-style swordsmanship is pretty hard too tell, but what I saw in the anime and manga it looks more like some kinda kendo and fencing combined, because you know how Shigure taught Kenichi how too use a weapon, she positioned him into a fencing position for training which made me hint on the subject that her style is kendo and fencing, and the name Kōsaka-style swordsmanship, Kosaka is a town in Japan also a very populer name. Shinnosuke Tsuji You all know Shinnosuke Tsuji right? well his martial arts or recent martial arts which he displayed against Kenichi is called Koppou or Koppojutsu is a martial arts that means attacks against bones in Japanese. Koppojutsu is commonly considered a hard art in comparison to the soft arts such as koshijutsu, attacks against muscles. Legend claims it was invented by the kappa, who excels at this discipline, lol. Silcardo Jenazad and Radin Tidat Jihan And just like you mentioned earlier NolongerSane, Pencak Silat is also one of the sports I wasent completely aware of, I had heard of it but not seen it or knew what kinda martial art it is, Pencak Silat is an Indonesian martial art and began originally as a weapons style of combat. Pencak Silat has borrowed much from its nearby neighbours of India and China, blending those fighting styles into their own. The result was a style containing kicking and striking techniques mixed with a variety of weapons techniques. Apachai Hopachai and Tirawit Koukin Also Muay Boran, I knew about Muay Thai and who didint lol. But Muay Boran or Anicent Boxing is unique Muay Boran's form is quite efficient, in that it maximizes the amount of damage that each blow can inflict, and effective, in that it can easily lead to the death or serious injury of the opponent. Most notably, Muay Boran emphasizes the use of extremely powerful elbow and knee techniques, and combinations thereof, always thrown at full force and speed, with the intent to overcome one's adversary as quickly as possible, because another one might already be coming close or attacking. Muay Boran has been influenced by neighboring martial arts and vice versa such as the Kamae Kham Sao which is a technique borrowed from Cambodia. Traditionally, Muay Thai masters would teach the techniques of Muay Boran as advanced Muay Thai but this is not often done today. Various moves in Muay Boran are forbidden in present-day Muay Thai tournaments and competitions. Even in Thailand it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a school willing to teach it; they prefer to focus on "modern" Muay Thai, as this is more easily exploitable as a form of income. Many schools nowadays who claim to offer Muay Boran just teach Muay Thai and sell it under the name of Muay Boran. Christopher Eclair Also Savate is one of those new ones too me, Savate is the martial arts used by Christopher Eclair from Yami. Savate is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and combines elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Only foot kicks are allowed, unlike some systems, such as Muay Thai and Silat, which allow the use of the knees or shins. Savate is perhaps the only style of kickboxing in which the fighters habitually wear shoes savate being a French word for "old shoe". A practitioner of savate is called a savateur (male) or savateuse (female). Mikumo Kushinada and Chikage Kushinada Also Kushinada style jujutsu is just a made up one because Kushinada style jujutsu unique as it utilizes no raw power at all (0%), but rather focuses on skills completely (100%) Im not sure if thats possible with some Jutsu techniques, but the name Kushinada comes from a princess in the Japanese mythology involving Susanoo. Li Raichi and Li Tenmon Also our daring Li Raichi Chichouken is combinded Drunken fists and Ditangquan. Ditangquan style is the ability to perform tumbles, falls, turns, somersaults and aerial acrobatics using those techniques for both offense and defense. Sei and Do Also it might have brought too everyones attention as it has bin playing its role in HSDK the whole Do and Sei, also the Path of Asura I believe that Sei and Do are just subjects based on characteristics, like Sei is a person who is calm and collected during a fight, while Do is a person who looses it and goes berserk during it. Path of Asura Also the whole part about The Path Of Asura, is a tricky one. Im not sure if Syun Matsuena the author was referring too the Buddhism, because Asura was a supernatural beings. So im sure that Syun was following the Hinduism story about Asura, which is a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes referred to as demons or sinful. Also is it me or does Syun have alot of knowledge when it comes too Martial arts? because all the styles and moves in HSDK requires someone with Knowledge of martial arts too make. And since there is no info on Syun I would suspect that he does have some knowledge or has practice Martial arts before or still is. |

Very interesting information. I just re-read the chapter and just thought up a question to ask. I am just wondering how many ex-disciples are in the facility that Rachel is in currently? She pretty much informed the reader that a person who is of no use to YAMI ends up there, though she thought it was a myth/ubran legend at first. Due to the extreme way how Jenazad ended his teacher/disciple relationship with Jihan, it makes you wonder how many of the masters have gone through disciples that lead to the current YOMI roster. I am also wondering on those disciples that have been sent to that facility and with the information collect from them, is the leader of YAMI using that info to artificially create a fighter.

Now that you two are talking about it, I wonder why Ryuto isn't there.
As far as I understad his master was not very interested in him and used Ryuto as a testing object for this technique. And from what Sho said at the tournament it seems that he will never make a full recovery. Yet his master decided to "keep him" and introduced him to YOMI. (Well, maybe he spent some time in that institution right after his fight against Kenichi.) What do you think are Ogata's reasons? |

Another thing about this chapter is that it again raised my respect for Ethan. His character is getting more interesting by the chapters. Also, it seems that the martial arts that he is using is dangerous enough for the Elder to intervine in Kenichi's training.

You know what I think, I think the reason why the Elder is willing too train Kenichi, is because he sees not only potential also the goodness that is rarely found in human beings. Which could be the reason why he never really trained anyone, its obvious that he only trained Miu's heart and perhaps taught her a little of the martial arts he was taught as a child or something I dont know, all I know is that he didint teach her any of the 108 techniques and perhaps not even his son. Because they werent pure hearted, not that Im saying the Elder is himself, but its clear he doesnt want too pass on such dangerous and advanced techniques too someone who could use them too kill people, perhaps thats why he refused too train and pass it onto his son and thats what led him too... GO BAD I guess. Thats why I think its almost pretty clear that The Elder has choosen Kenichi as his 108 techniques inheritor, because he did teach him one of them Ryuusei Seikuken. |
