Ken is a beast in the H2H department, like a complete monster with his powerset. He was Goku before Goku was created. Abilities he has are: Shuieshin, a technique that allows him to read his opponents style, copy it flawlessly and predict their own movements. This is first referenced in his fight against Shuu.

Hokuto Hyakuretsuken, which is basically 100 punches in like a second, or less that he usually ends with a special punch.

Hokuto Shinken is the style that all of this falls under, it's an ancient Chinese assassination martial art. He has many other styles under his belt due to his journey although it's rare for him to use them, one for being weaker than Hokuto Shinken, two because it's not really his style to just use other's styles.

Musou Tensei is broken, it's like a counter move. It has never been fully explained but say you try to punch him, if he doesn't want to be hit then he'll like "phase" through the punch and become intangible. It should be noted that he can't just stay intangible, or at least that he's never been shown that way. I also personally believe that the move will only be activated if Ken can perceive the attack and see it coming.

Forgot the exact name but some kind of dragon breathing technique, it allows Ken to use 100% of his body's potential and energy. Every time he screams and flexes off his shirt that's him using the technique basically.

Strength feats are pretty good, he's had some feats where he easily lifts a boulder which other fans have stated over 1000 tons, I say it's at least 100 tons, he's lifted huge ass boulders on two occasions. Guy stopped a train with just his aura. There are some others that I'd have to fish through.

Durability is immense as well, low piercing durability, he's tanked moves that could easily slice through steel though. Blunt force and punching is what he's most durable as.

Speed is insane, just utterly insane, the guy has tied cracking whips together before the opponent could see it. Some no name was spinning his scimitar in a circle like how a fan rotates and closed in on Ken who just casually punches him in the face between each rotation. There's more that I can share if you're interested. All of this is why I said that everyone named will either utterly destroy him or lose to him.

HSK (Hokuto Shinken) focuses on destroying the body from the inside out, so it's all about striking pressure points which can either make the body explode, shut down, or even heal others. He has moves that lets him control your body.

He also has a few projectile moves, tons of long ranged moves if you count Nanto Seiken but as I said earlier he won't use it under CIS rules or whatever it's called here where they fight in character.

To clarify earlier when I said he had low piercing durability. The instances where he's been pierced were with normal arrows but it didn't hurt him really. More like a needle prick. Once was when he was paralyzed and Raoh (I think) shot an arrow at a girl and Lin was begging him to save her so through willpower he broke free and was fast enough to intercept the arrow midflight and take it.

Here's a scene of that sword feat I was talking about.

In HNK 2 he fights against Kaioh, the master of Hokuto Ryuken and the technique Anryu Tenha which warps space around the opponent. At first it pretty much shut Ken down, but after mastering his MT he learned how to counter it easily.

After gauging his strength and getting tossed around he becomes a stone wall basically and easily tanks everything. That dragon breathing technique is shown in this clip.

Hey Shackles, found one of Ken's best strength showings, it's the rock he lifted and carried up hill without using 100% of his body's potential.

If anyone is interested in the alleged weight of the rock then here's a quote from a friend. I know there are some talks about other characters like Hulk, just throwing it out that I don't care to debate about Hulk's strength limit or whatever I believe his base strength to be. Not really here to debate any of that outside of the fact that the rock is heavy and massive as shit.

quote:

Able to carry a rock weighing nearly two thousand tonnes.

I wanted to see how much Ken could lift compared with a lot of other characters where it directly states how many tonnes they're lifting.
I picked this bit, because it's one of the best examples of physical strength for Ken.

You get a good idea of the dimensions in that scene, which make up about 7.2 X 7.2 X 14.4 metres of rock. Your average rock on earth has a specific gravity of 2.51 (that many times heavier than water), and if you pop that along with dimensions into an online calculator, you get a rock that would weigh about 1873 tonnes.

He also lifted a 1000 tonne chunk of rock in the first series, but he had to cradle and strain it to do it, where as this time, notice he actually puts it down at arms length effortlessly, so HnK2 Kenshiro is a LOT stronger than in HnK1 (which was sort of obvious to begin with).

You realize that The Hulk's base strength is about 150 tonnes in his strongest incarnation? (though his strength is supposedly limitless based on how angry he gets).

Goku from DBZ couldn't move with 10 tonnes around each limb in base form. He couldn't bicep curl 10, and most people can curl a third of what they can curl with both arms (weird it's not double, isn't?), so Ken should be able to curl 624 tonnes, and that makes Kenshiro 62 times stronger than Goku in base form (and that was still a workout in SSJ, which increases ki by 50 times).
Also, Kenshiro didn't use the art of Dragon's breathing, so he wasn't using 100% of his strength for lifting that boulder either.


So, just in case you missed the 5000 episodes where Ken punched through concrete bunkers and field goal kicked mohawk punks into orbit, Kenshiro is f*cking strong!

One of Ken's best speed/reflex feats. Hyo is about to kill some guy who's name escapes me. His move allows him to strike every pressure point in the body at once. Don't remember the exact number but I think it was 1,000+ points. Either way, Ken stops every single strike. The feat starts at 8:50

Kenshiro vs Han. At the start of the video they appear to be standing still even to the trained eye during their fight. At first Shachi can't even see their fists or the shadows of their fists. Lin/Lynn who has been with Kenshiro from the start and witnessed his Hyakuretsuken more than likely couldn't see their fight either.

There's a good video, I think.

Edit: When I'm late to the party, I really am late. Thanks, though, Wei.

That's his second time meeting Raoh again and fighting him with MT, as you can see he stomped him. Hideyoshi heavily draws inspiration from Raoh's character.

This will have to do ;~;

Question, if someone can harm intangibles, should they be able to get through Masou Tensei?

First time seeing it, sorry for the late reply.

As I've said before MT itself hasn't been fully explained. Some call it intangibilyt, others call it reincarnation. It's closest literal translation is "Transmigration From Nothingness" Something like that. If we go by it being intangibilty then someone with feats of hurting someone intangible would help the argument of them being able to hurt them. So in short, possibly.
