can beat -me-? How laughable." |
Style:
Freestyle Kendo/Fencing - Kunou Family Style
Strengths: Kunou can be deadly with his sword
if he is focused on the fight. No one is Tatewaki Kunou's
equal in the art of swordplay, and Kunou uses this to
his advantage. The bokken, in Kunou's hands, has been
known to destroy concrete walls, chop down trees, and
makes cracks in stone statues. A classic, but very deadly,
Samurai-like style punctuates his moves.
Weaknesses: Aside from the fact that Kunou probably
can't fight too well bare-handed, he also gets distracted
very easily, either by Akane or his "pig-tailed goddess".
He sometimes forgets the fight altogether and begins to
spout poetry, professing his love for one or both of them.
He is easily fooled into being falsely charmed, especially
by Ranma-chan. Kunou also has a big ego, and tends to
be overconfident in the fight. His speed is also slow
compared to the other fighters.
Special
Techniques:
As mentioned above, Kunou wields a wooden katana or
bokken, which he uses quite well. Kunou also employs
a couple sword techniques:
Blue Thunder Attack: Kunou yells repeatedly and
strikes many times with his sword at an opponent, almost
with the speed of Ranma's "Amaguriken" technique.
Senpou-ken Whirlwind: (Anime-only) A move in
which Kunou attacks a jumping opponent by swirling his
bokken around pointing upwards, creating a mini-spiral
that blows the opponent upward and away.
Watermelon Slice: Taught to him through hypnotic
conditioning, Kunou immediately cuts in half any watermelon
on sight - even if it happens to be held by someone
at the time. The resulting attack usually ends up with
the person bumped and bruised and the watermelon cleanly
sliced down the middle.
