Talk:Rokushiki

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)

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)
