Jan-Ken is a combination martial arts technique used by Son Goku. It is based on the game "rock paper scissors".
General Overview
One of the few special attacks that Goku uses early on in the series, it is based on the game of "Rock-Paper-Scissors". Gū (グー rock) is a punch, Choki (チョキ scissors) is an eye-poke, and Pā (パー paper) is a palm slap. Sometimes he will use them separately, but there are also times when he uses them as a combo attack. What's more, there are also times when he will feint by calling out "Gū" but doing a "Pā". It's a respected Turtle Hermit School technique which Goku inherited from Grandpa Son Gohan, but he stopped using it after mastering the Kamehameha.[1]
Usage
- Goku uses Jan-Ken Gū against the Bear Bandit in Dragon Ball Chapter 3.
- Goku uses Jan-Ken Gū, Choki, and Pā against Yamcha in Dragon Ball Chapter 8, just before he loses his strength from hunger.
- Goku uses Jan-Ken against Jackie Chun at the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai in Dragon Ball Chapter 49. Chun blocks all three blows perfectly, which Goku finds odd; Jan-Ken was his Grandpa Gohan's special technique. Goku attacks again, this time calling paper while attacking with rock, and his fist lands.
Name
Jan-Ken or Jan-Ken-Pon (じゃん拳ぽん), known as "rock paper scissors" in English, is an extremely popular game in Japan and a relatively ingrained aspect of its cultural consciousness. The game makes frequent appearances throughout the Dragon Ball franchise, whether or not Akira Toriyama is responsible for the story. It is used like a coin toss when there are questions to be decided, sometimes important ones. Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta use the game to decide who will fight first on Bobbidi's ship in Dragon Ball Chapter 449. A game between Beerus and Oolong is meant to decide the fate of the world in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and again in Dragon Ball Super Episode 8. The game was used to promote Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'[2] and Dragon Ball Super: Broly[3] on the regular "Mezamashi Janken" segment of the program "Mezamashi TV". The viewing audience uses their TV remote controls to play Jan-Ken against the characters, who take a brief moment afterward to promote the movie.[4]
