The Shiyou-ken (四妖拳, Shiyō-ken; FUNimation "Four Witches Technique"; Literally meaning "Four Arm Fist") is a rush attack used by Tenshinhan. Tenshinhan temporarily grows two extra arms under his shoulder blades. He then is able to attack with twice the intensity that he is normally capable of.

History[edit]

Dragon Ball[edit]

Tenshinhan used the Shiyou-ken in his fight against Son Goku at the 22nd Tenkaichi Tournament. Although it initially proved effective, Goku used Chapa-o's Hashu-ken to counter it.

Tenshinhan was the only known user of this attack. (It is possible that Chaozu was capable of the technique as well since they both underwent the same training, but he never demonstrated the ability).
