Jan-Ken is a combination martial arts technique used by Son Goku.
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 (rock) is a punch, Choki (scissors) is an eye-poke, and Pā (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.
