Okama Kenpo

Okama Kenpo (オカマ拳法, literally, Crossdresser Fist Way) is the fighting style used by Mr. 2 Bon Kurei of Baroque Works. It is a style that uses mainly kicks and is taken directly from ballet dancing, hence forth most of its stances are ballet poses rather then martial art stances. In a response to a fan, in order to learn Okama Kenpo, a person must do three steps. First a person must learn ballet and then secondly they must learn karate. Third, they work at one of "those" places, because of the complexity of those moves, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei can only use it with his own body which creates a flaw in his Devil Fruit power. It is called "Ballet Kenpo" in the anime, "Crossdresser Kenpo" in the FUNimation dub, "Crazy Karate" in the 4Kids dub, and "Oh Come My Way Karate" in the English manga by VIZ Media.

First Appearance: Chapter 160; Episode 103

Okama Kenpo attacks

 * Swan Arabesque (白鳥・アラベスク, Hakuchō Arabesuku): Bon Kurei performs a powerful high kick, usually after a combination of kicks and punches. This attacks is equal in power to Sanji's Mouton Shot. Arabesque is a raised-leg position in ballet. This is known as Swan Dive in the 4Kids dub.


 * Crossdresser Dash (オカマ・ダッシュ, Okama Dasshu): Bon Kurei taps the ground several times and then takes a great leap forward. With his long legs, Bon Clay is able to quickly cross long distances. It is known as Swan Dash in the anime and Viz Manga and Primadonna in the 4Kids dub.


 * Blood, Sweat and Tears Relevé (血と汗と涙のルルヴェ, Chi to Ase to Namida no Ruruve): Using his leg strength, Bon Kurei is able to sprint up a vertical cliff wall. Relevé means "Standing on Tip-Toes".


 * Dōzo Okamai Knuckle (どうぞ・オカマ・い・拳 [ナックル]): Bon Kurei simply punches the enemy in the face. (Manga Only). The name is a pun off of the Japanese phrase "Dōzo okamai naku" (roughly "Don't mind me") and the English word "knuckle". In the Viz Manga, this is called Pardon My Oh Come My Way Knuckle.


 * Shabby Swan Ball Dance (うらぶれ・白鳥 [スワン]・舞踏会, Urabure Hakuchō [Suwan] Butōkai): Bon Kurei attacks the enemy with a flurry of kicks and punches. This prepares Bon Kurei for Swan Arabesque. For some reason, Bon Kurei's swans appear drunk and have their tongues hanging out when he uses this attack. This is called Drunken Swan Soiree in the Viz Manga and Smiling Swan Soiree in the 4Kids dub.


 * Crossdresser Chop (オカマ・チョップ, Okama Choppu): Bon Kurei strikes the enemy in the eyes with a chop, blinding them. This attack can prepare Bon Kurei for Keri Pointe. This is known as Ballet Chop in the anime, Swan Chop in the Viz Manga, and Crossdresser Chop in the FUNimation dub of Movie 8.


 * Keri Pointe (蹴爪先 [ケリ]・ポアント, Keri Poanto): After blinding the enemy with Okama Chop, Bon Kurei jumps into the air and kicks the enemy in the face with both feet. He continues to push the enemy until he kicks them off into a nearby structure. This is called Kick Pointe in the Viz Manga and Tip-Toe Kick in the 4Kids dub, but is literally translated as Kick Point.


 * Mascara Boomerang (マスカラ・ブーメラン, Masukara Būmeran): Bon Kurei peels off his mascara and throws it at the enemy, and, like an actual boomerang, it returns to his hand. The mascara is bladed so it cuts the enemy, and can hit the enemy upon return.


 * Grand Whipping Motion: Memoir Of That Summer Day (グランド・フェッテ: あの夏の日の回想録 [メモワール], Gurando Fuette: Ano Natsu no Hi no Kaisou Roku [Memowāru]): After spinning 320,000 times, Bon Kurei performs a kick using the momentum of the spins to increase the strength. The true power of the kick was not seen because Sanji was able to dodge and counter it. In Ballet, Fouetté is the term for the whipping motion of a raised foot. In the 4Kids dub, this is called Spinning Summer Pirouette.


 * Prima (主役技 [プリマ], Shuyaku Waza [Purima]): Bon Kurei removes the two swans from his shoulders and places them on his feet. When he kicks in prima mode, the swan neck extends, giving him further reach, and the steel bill pierces the enemy. When he kicked a stone wall, it left a solid hole without any cracks around it. Prima is the ballet term for the lead performance, hence the particular kanji symbols written for this technique. Not relevant to the attack, the right swan is female and the left swan is male. In the 8th movie, they're more whip like. In the Viz Manga, this is called Prima Ballerina.


 * Bombardier (爆撃・白鳥 [ボンバルディエ], Bakugeki Hakuchō [Bonbarudeie]; literally, Swan Bombing Raid): In prima mode, Bon Kurei kicks the enemy with an extended and pointed kick. Before delivering the real kick, Bon Kurei appears to kick several times, which may be used to confuse the enemy. Bombardier is French for bomber. This attack is called Swan Bombardier in the Viz Manga and 4Kids dub.


 * Memoir Of That Winter Sky (あの冬の空の回想録 [メモワール], Ano Fuyu no Sora no Kaisou Roku [Memowāru]): In prima mode, Bon Clay leaps into the air and begins to perform several somersaults in mid-air. After spinning enough times, Bon Clay descends and delivers a piercing kick strengthened by the momentum of the spins. The full power of this attack was not seen the first time because Sanji dodged and countered it. He used an alternate version of this move when using it against Minotaurus in Impel Down, in which he did so without his swans. It caused significant damage, and was even capable of knocking it down, but wasn't enough to defeat it. This is called Winter Wonderland Jete in the Viz Manga and 4Kids dub


 * Bombardier Arabesque (爆撃 [ボンバルディエ]・白鳥・アラベスク, Bakugeki [Bonbarudeie] Hakuchō Arabesuku; literally, Bomber Raised-Leg): In prima mode, Bon Clay uses Bombardier after leaping into the air. The kick is also higher than the normal Bombardier. This attack is called Swan Bombardier Dive in the Viz Manga and 4Kids dub.


 * Ohikae Na Fouetté (お控え・ナ・鞭打 [フエッテ], Ohikae na Muchiuchi [Fuette], literally, Oh! Pardon My Whiplashing Feet): Bon Clay lunges forward and does a backwards somersault in midair, to land a powerful on the opponent's head. This attack was strong enough to ram Minotaurus into a jail cell's bars, but not enough to slow him down. Fouetté is a ballet term for a whipping movement of one leg, made while turning on the other leg.

Newkama Kenpo attacks
A new form of Okama Kenpo introduced by Emporio Ivankov. He describes it as the ultimate form of fighting from the Kamabakka Kingdom. It's possible this is a remodeled fighting style Ivankov created himself after forming Newkama Land in Level 5.5. As the former King/Queen of the Kamabakka kingdom and proclaimed the "greatest okama", Ivankov is likely a master of Newkama Kenpo, similar to Jinbei's mastery of Fishman Karate.
 * Death Wink (デス・ウインク, Desu Uinku): A technique in which Ivankov can repel a projectile aimed at him back where it came from merely by winking. It has also been demonstrated as a powerful close combat attack, similar to a punch, or a long-range attack. The close combat version was first seen being used on Mr. 2 Bon Kurei.
 * Hell Wink (地獄のWINK [ヘル・ウインク, Heru Uinku]): A variation of his Death Wink. After increasing the size of his head with face growth hormones, he fires a much stronger wink with a greater range and damage area. It was powerful enough to take out a large group of Blugoris. Also, by using them both, he is able to propel himself even through stone floor. Hell Wink was also used by Ivankov to propel himself, Luffy, and the other prisoners escaping Impel Down away from the prison. And so powerful it could launch a battleship filled with escaped prisoners into the air.
 * Aesthetic Art 44 - Dream-Strike-Condemn-Reverse Fist; literally, Waxing Fist (44のエステ・奥義・夢打撃処裏拳, Yonjūyon no Esute - Mudage Shori Ken): Ivankov stabs his hands rapidly at his opponent. Somewhat similar to Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gatling. First seen against Magellan. Mudageshori means "removal of unnecessary hair" or "waxing". Therefore, this attack's literal translation is "Waxing Fist". However, when written in kanji, it means "Dream-Strike-Condemn-Reverse Fist".
 * Rolling Aesthetic (ローリング・エステ, Rōringu Esute): This appears to be little more than a rapid roll that allows Ivankov to escape an explosion with surprisingly-high speed.

Trivia

 * So far two different style of Okama Kenpo have been seen, regular Okama and Newkama.
 * Both versions have a unique attack that involve the use of mascara or eyelashes.
