What exactly was or is the purpose of Hakke Kuushou (Vacuum Air Palm)?

[Dannie]

To my knowledge, the many times that this jutsu or technique has been used it never actually did anything worthy of mention.

When Neji used it against Kisame;

he just got pushed back. Nothing special really happened to Kisame and he was just fine, and even continued to grab his sword and resume to fight. It doesn't block or inflict any damage to the chakra points. It just pushes you back, which in my opinion looks like a waste of a jutsu.

Many people overhype this technique, and everytime Hinata is put into a versus battle people assume that air palm will do something of damage or inflict pain when in reality it just pushes you back and doesn't cause any type of damage.

When Hinata used Hakke Kuushou on the Juubi hand,

people want to act like Hinata did that with her own power when in fact she was enhanced with the Kyubi chakra which should be obvious considering the cloak surrounding her. If Hinata never had Naruto's chakra then she wouldn't have been able to push such a large mass out of the way considering that even Kisame ( a much smaller entity was able to tank it).

So, my question is, why did Neji only develop the air palm for two years when in reality it is a fodder level ability when it comes to feats.

Its just a weak force push

 

[KidGamer65]

-It can be used to repel attacks.

-It can be used to repel opponents into something, preferably a wall or the ground, which will cause damage. Not a lot though.

Its pretty much a poor man's Shinra Tensei, not fodder leveled though.

 

[Blackwatch]

Knock shit out of the air, tag/knock ranged opponents off their flight devices like Deidara's birds, create distance from a target...


Has a lot of uses that only a narrow-minded fool would overlook.

 

[Anorien16]

Well do notice that Kisame kinda moved Samehada to the field and thus the effect might have been much reduced ..... But basically its long ranger force push kinda thing, it has its uses.

As for Hinata's case who cares what people act like?

This.

Hinata and Neji fans hype it to unreal levels to the point where they believe it one-shots Sakura and Tsunade respectively.

Basically this is a defensive Technique than can be use has for offensive as well.

Kaguya's air palm puts these air palm to shame.

I'm pretty sure if Neji applied more chakra/force in his hand, it would be a lot more productive.

Byukagan gentle fist are more converged power than explosive.

 

[Simbv]

It's a ranged gentle fist attack. It didn't do any internal damage to Kisame because that wasent even him, and the guy was already dead.

 

[BLAZE]

it's just a fodder tech tbh but the Vaccum Palm Wall used by Hiashi is something

 

[The Legendary Noob]

A weaker Almighty Push.[SUB]

And some people think that can break a Susano'o.

 

[Gamaken]

It gets some good use in the anime. In the anime it normally one-shots fodder zetsus. It also took out Kidomaru in a filler, and obliterated a rock in the Neji vs Neji fight. Not huge feats by any means, but they make it look a lot more powerful than a simple push back.

 

[Lord Naruto San]

I never see people Overhype this move sense all the Hyuga clan are pointless at this point

I laugh at the fools. U_U

i remember a thread called Hyugas Gentle Fist breaks susanoo easily becoz susanoo is construct of chakra.

I did too that and another thread is where i got what i said from lmao people these days.

This technique is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, the user precisely pinpoints the enemy's vital points with the Byakugan and releases a high-speed palm thrust. A "vacuum shell" compressed using the Gentle Fist is formed to attack the opponent's vitals from a distance, blowing them off their feet with tremendous force before they even notice they were hit.

Kaguya broke sasuke's PS with this very tech neg diff.
