Powers and Abilities

Dokugantetsu knows the Deva Kings Style (仁王流, Niou-ryu), which allows him to move with more agility than one might think possible given his build.

Techniques

Great Dancing Pitchfork Discus (釽舞大円盤, Hakubu Daienban): A giant bladed yo-yo that Dokugantetsu uses as his main weapon. However, its effectiveness is limited, and both Togashi Genji and Hien had an easy time dodging its attacks.

Mark of the Dice Fist (號賽拳, Gosaiken): A series of chops and kicks, mostly intended as a diversion to lure his opponent into attacking him from behind, as a setup for the Great Killing Wheel of Bondage.

Great Killing Wheel of Bondage (錠枷殺大車輪, Jokasatsu Daisharin): Dokugantetsu grabs his opponent's neck by his legs, and uses his hands to spin on a horizontal bar. The centrifugal force causes the power of this technique to increase with every spin.

Hien enters the brigde, and is quickly attacked by Dokugantetsu's Great Dancing Pitchfork Discus, but he easly dodge it, counterattacking with his senbons.

Seeing how Hien dodge all his attacks, Dokugantetsu throw away his weapon, and decides to faces him bare handed.
