I really liked this style of fighting, and watching Raichi own the Shinpaku Alliance was awesome.

What are your thoughts on it? Do you think we'll ever see it again? Do you think we'll see a Master Class fighter use it? Has there been another Drunken Fist user and I just can't remember?

Well, there was Raichi's father; we haven't seen much of him at all lately...

And anything going into Kensei Ma's back-story in China might involve more Chinese styles like drunken boxing.

We will more than likely see it again from Raichi, but I think there's also a possibility to see it whenever Kensei and Sougetsu's stories are gone through.

Every other Manga I see that uses this fighting technique has the fighter actually drunk. Why is that not the case in hsdk? Aside from raichis age..

Drunken fist being a type of kenpo, I bet Sougetsu knows it and uses it. He's always drinking.

And Raichi is the only drunken fist user we've seen so.

The style doesn't actually require you to be drunk; Film/TV/comics just like to make characters drunk for more entertainment.

Alcohol is used occasionally for training how to loosen up your body, or so I've heard, but the drunken part mainly refers to the types of unpredictable movements.

Yeah I know but it's just how I've seen it in other manga.

All this talk about the Drunken Fist made me think of Lee.

And I'd love to see Sougetsu use the Drunken Fist. It'd be great to see him strike all those poses Raichi does.

I'm about to make all of you dislike me for a short period of time.

Sougetsu instead of Raichi

That's terrifying.

That's terrifying.

I agree.

That's terrifying.

That's good. I'm here to strike fear into your heart.

[Rimi]

Do you think maybe that one guy with the eyepatch will use it?

[Saiga]

Saiga's disciple? Doubt it.

He probably practices the same type of martial arts that Miu does.

That would be disappointing...

[Saiga]

Eh, disappointing maybe, but it would make sense. Him being a drunken fist user when Saiga doesn't use that style wouldn't make sense. Especially when Saiga uses a very specific type or martial art.

Made me think of Jackie. Then how they payed homage to him in the Naruto anime.

[Kaio-ken]

Only seen the first drunken master definitely finding the time to watch that one after seeing that!
