Gō no Ken (剛の拳 Fist of Strength) is a form of Hokuto Shinken created by Raoh. As the name implies, it uses immense physical power to destroy everything in its path, and the greater his opponent is, the stronger the practitioner becomes. Standing in contrast to his younger siblings Jū no Ken, Toki imitated this style in his failed attempt to defeat Ken-Oh, after pressing the Sekkatsu-kō vital point to temporarily boost his strength.
