Gentotsu (幻突, Gentotsu), also translated as Phantom Impact or Phantom Strike in the Englis Fan-Translation, is a fictional technique that is introduced in the manga series Tough. Often described as the greatest technique of the Yuugenshinkage-ryuu and Nadashinkage-ryuu martial arts.
Description[]
The Gentotsu is an arcane technique of the Yuugenshinkage and Nadashinkage fighting styles. While much of its origins are unknown, general descriptions state that the user harnesses seismic vibrations through their body, producing sonic waves which are sent hurtling towards the target as a energetic mass of force usually in the shape of a giant fist or blast.[1]
For the first time in the series, Kiichi Miyazawa used this technique against his father Seiko during the Hyper Battle. Thanks to this move, Kiichi won his fight. Later, Kiichi used the Gentotsu against Marcio "Jet" Naitou in the Hyper Battle finals. After enduring Jet's relentless assault, Kiichi counters inadvertently with the Gentotsu as Jet advanced toward him. The resulting impact created a large impression at the center of Jet's chest.
After those events, Kiichi would come to discover the roots of the technique and its relation to the Nadashinkage and Yuugenshinkage fighting styles.
