Rebirth: Sketch Form
Shouldn't "Rebirth" be Seimei Kikan (Life Return) and Sketch Form be Kami-e Bushin (Paper Drawing Fighting Form)?

Geppou
I understand what the technique is, but how is it pulled off?

Theoretically, I suppose, the user pushes down with enough force and speed so that the air is collected at the bottom like an air cushion, which expands and forces themselves up again. Not too sure if that's what happens, because nobody ever asked it in the series... 122.106.222.64 08:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The user uses immense leg strength to jump in midair. Ever read Rurouni Kenshin, where one of the main villains reaches his maximum height from the ground after the first jump, he uses the fact that his jump has exactly canceled gravity, giving him a split second to make a second jump, making him appear as if he is walking in the air.

Zoro could use this to his advantage if he jumped about five times then downward toward his opponent with two swords held out.173.212.4.49 00:31, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if you can run across the air using this.Dogloverben 21:51, July 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Think we must get hit first.

Rankyaku
Is Rankyaku an air blade or an energy blade attack, because it looks more like a blade of energy then an air blade. --66.206.147.17 04:25, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

As stated by the anime and manga it is an attack that causes wind that can move fast enough to cut, it is wind not energy. Arieus 10:39, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

In the anime, air-based slashes like Rankyaku or Zoro's Pound Hou techniques look like bluish energy waves, possibly because if air is compressed to such a degree it becomes visible; or they do it just to make it more visually interesting.

I think this would really complement Sanji's Black Leg style.173.212.4.49 00:27, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Rokuougan=One Inch Punch
Is the Rokuougan based on Bruce Lee's one inch punch, it does look similar to it.

Yeah it probably is cuz i wikipedia'ed that and its extremely similar.

Separate
Should we separate the seven base techniques into their own pages, with the variations going along with their respective derivatives? Yatanogarasu 23:24, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Can someone please answer me? The Rokushiki page alone is too long. Yatanogarasu 05:33, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

What is too long in this page ? I think some attack pages are much longer than this one Kdom 17:19, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

You mean like Santōryū? Yeah, we should separate those as well, one sword, two, three, and nine. If separable, like those with multiple styles such as Rokushiki or Santoryu, then let's do it. If not (like the Devil Fruits), then keep them. Yatanogarasu 23:07, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Is somebody actually going to go through with this idea? I think each technique should have their own 'semi-page', like in the Santoryu page. 80.216.248.111 14:09, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

No, it's fine as is. 15:07, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Sanji's sky walk
I think sanji should be mentiond as a geppou user because unlike gear second sky walk is exactly the same as geppo so im gonna add him feel free to let me know if im wrong37.104.44.9 09:18, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

ok i saw the note and didnt edit but i still say its the same as geppo changing the name doesnt make a difference37.104.44.9 09:21, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Luffy
Is Luffy a shigan user? Even if he copied the shigan in Chapter 639 it's still not a shigan but an original move.
 * Gear Second is an original move based on Soru, but the article still mentions it here. If Luffy has created his own version of Shigan, that too should be mentioned. RedXIV 14:35, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Basically he did pierce Hody's body with his fingers..

I say its still speculation, but its ok either way.
 * I think he just grabbed Hody and clenched on his ribs, kinda like Hody's own Soshark attack. GenkiMan 11:36, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Luffy and Sanji
I just wanna point out: Luffy and Sanji are NOT Rokushiki users. Luffy did NOT use Soru, as he used Gear Second, which grants him the speed via increased metabolism, not just by quick-feet work, otherwise you might as well put Kuro here since his Nuki-ashi is the same speed but less refined. As for Sanji, his Sky Walk is his own technique, it is different, if only in name, than the actual Geppo. 05:05, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

I think Sanji developed his Sky Walk on his own, but didn't Luffy actually steal the technique from Blueno? He observed how Blueno did Soru and then he copied it. Doesn't that mean he's learned Rokushiki? Even if he doesn't call it "Soru" he still learned it from a Rokushiki master. 05:15, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think so, as Gear Second simply uses the increased metabolism to increase speed and momentum of movement and attacks, respectively. And Blueno says it was copied, but Luffy is simply moving at such speed that it looks like Soru, and Blueno later comments it is actually faster and superior. 05:39, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
