Gentle fist is just a fighting style, not KKG. But I think some of the Gentle Fist's techniques like Rotation, Airpalm, Lion Fists are KKG.

The fighting style itself is not a KKG, but it's techniques are.

They're not really kekkei Genkai, they require the kekkei Genkai to learn, but after that point they don't really require the kekkei Genkai once mastery over them is gained. Hinata uses TLF without the Byakugan active as an example.

Rotation
KEKKEI GENKAI; Taijutsu: Hakkeshou Kaiten (Titanic Revolution* of the Eight Trigrams Palm)
User: Hyuuga Neji
Defensive; Close range; Rank: none

Main text

A taijutsu where one releases a large amount of chakra from their body's chakra openings to catch the blows from an enemy's attacks, while making one's body spin to repel them. A secret transmitted by oral tradition within the Hyuuga's Main House, though Hyuuga Neji came up with it own his own, despite him being from the Branch House. It stands in the same league as Gaara's Sand as an ultimate protection, and was even called "the other Absolute Defense". This is the high grade taijutsu that made Neji's prodigious talent known during the Chuunin exam.

-An application of Juuken, the other "Absolute Defense"!!

Picture comment

-The Byakugan's near-360° field of vision perceives the enemy's attack, and here comes the Kaiten...!!
*"Kaiten" means "spinning" or "revolution". Except the author swapped the "ten" Kanji for another, changing the meaning to "monumental task". Taken separately, the words could be translated as "Heavenly Spin". So I translated the thing as "Titanic Revolution" to somehow squeeze in all those meanings, as the "monumental" and "godly" meanings are both carried in the word "titan".

The level of fanfic is on another level If that was the case then any and all Hyuga would have rotation, access and be able to use all Hyuga jutsu.

That would mean others can't learn to emit chakra from their hand's chakra openings & that's very, very, very weird considering many characters emit chakra from their hands to form justu like Chidori and Rasengan. Or am I expected to believe that their chakra magically teleports there from their body?

It kind of is but at the same time isn't. It's not a bloodline trait but it requires a blood line trait to actually use it. Others like Kabuto can emit chakra from their hands but without Byakugan as well they can not perform Gentle Fist(intentionally anyway since they can't actually aim at the chakra points)

Normally I would say no but all those jutsu someone already posted are listed as KKG and you don't need Byakugan to perform them.Its vague

It's 2018 and people still don't know what gentle fist is? Gentle fist is a kkg that allows the user to expel chakra from any/all tenketsu in the body. Thats why techniques like rotation,twin lion fist,etc are listed as kkg. Gentle fist is also what the hyuga named their taijutsu style, this style can be learned by anyone with proper training. However without the byakugan the gentle fist taijutsu is not very effective. :sigar:

It isn't vague lol. Byakugan isn't needed to learn Air Palm yet its listed as a KKG. Maybe(Obviously) its because the description mentions "aspects of Gentle fist".

If I recall correctly, Taekwondo doesn't have any techniques that is required to have an special alien eye so you can see the energy points inside a person's body. And then you use the same special alien eye to shoot energy out of your body. :lmao:

That's because you didn't get to a high enough belt.

Did you know there's a belt above black. It's a color you would never expect.

No. Byakugan is the KG of the Hyuuga. Try this: The Uchiha are really good at shurikenjutsu due to how they support it by analyzing trayectories and angles and whatever with their sharingan. Is Shurikenjutsu a KG?

It's true that some gentle fist techniques require the use of KG to be effective, namely anything that has to hit tenketsus, but the rest are not, therefore you cannot assume that GF as a whole is KG

It's only a KKG if it's used in conjunction with the Byakugan.

The technique itself is not a KKG.

Imo the byakugan, the Hyuga's ability to release chakra from any of their tenketsu at will, and superior chakra control are their KG. Gentle Fist again imo is a fighting style developed by the Hyuga that incorporates techniques that only they can use as well as utilize the abilities granted to them by their byakugan.

Boruto can try pushing his palm as hard as he wants

but unless he awakens his other DNA abilities lurking inside of him (like having a permanent Jougan active, byakugan and Chakra abilities) he won't make his Palm hit a KKG 8 tri grams

look at all the other DB GF attacks and they have the same KKG emblem

Yet no one in his family be it is Mother, her clan, and his Father doubt that he can't unlock it with the necessary training.


It is a matter of when.
