64 palms is sort of a failed and useless technique as it now is I think I may write to Kodachi so Hanabi Hime has our proposed more functional version. She'll be even more awesome compared to the rest. It can be her own exclusive jutsu she develops
I agree with, maybe because its hard to hit center of the chakra network in middle of the battle while target is moving and probably because the vision isnt clear like with other tenketsu,since the chakra is covering the stomach tenketsu with a mass of the chakra.
It is likely a technique to capture opponents alive. That, and from what Himawari and Hizashi both showed, a Gentle Fist user needs to hit the very center of the network in order to one-shot, which both only managed due to Naruto and Hiashi being off guard, so I would say that one hit is harder than 64 Palms.
I love how despite any Hyuuga related offense/defense barely being relevant you find new ways to make up stuff and wank. Literally only two of those examples were an actual battle scenario, and only one of them was an enemy one rank above Genin. :lol
Let me know when that worthless move works on an opponent above Chuunin and it's not for comic relief.
hence why Kishi never showed any Hyugas unless if it was a love confession while fighting a higher final dojutsu user with gravity powers
a long range battle against a pro archer so no CQC would be used
against the bloody 10 tails in the front lines
lol Kishi wrote himself in a corner with them and now he has an alien race that has the same abilities
Probably why Boruto's Jougan is dormant and why all of its powers are just there from the get go.
Also 64 palms seals the whole network. Besides Hima and her monster talent, the other scenarios isn't shutting down the chakra network.
Even then when a GF user hits any chakra point it just handicaps their opponent greatly.
I mean what would happen if they sealed the byakugou since it is just stored chakra on a chakra point in their forehead. Or if you seal the chakra circulation for a ninjas feet, no more walking on water for awhile lol.
In your first response are you referring to neji feat versus kidomaru? If so I don't see what that has to do with what were saying were not discussing can any hyuga destroy organs but can they one shot anyone with gentle fist?
For example if himawaris feat against Naruto was nothing then any kid hyuga can one shot madara.
And. I don't get the point of your second response if you can one hit ko someone why don't you.
And lastly the point of palms technique is to close chakra networks I think in the series there's 360 in total and as they get more experienced they can close more.
But trying to close chakra networks becomes pointless if you can one hit ko anyone and this would make the byakugan super op in general.
The problem is you all are looking at it wrong and most of you don't have a Fighters IQ

If you hit straight directly in the middle you can definitely take a person down because that is the center of where everybody chakra come from. But the problem comes in at two points
First that's a hard place to hit and moving battle along with the fact that it's heavily guarded by most people arms .

Add in the fact that most people stand to the side as to not give you direct line to their stomach and or in your stance and changing your arm placement you can completely cover that up

Then add in the fact that if somebody knows you're aiming only for one spot you become predictable but if you have 64 spots to hit that leaves your opponent with way too many spots to guard.
Imagine fighting somebody like killer bee who is not going to give you a clear open shot like that constantly moving
These nodes act like little banks and gateways that connect the chakra network/system. Besides Himawari and her absurd prodigy status, one can't end a whole entire system with only one hit.
Of course one might say "why doesn't a Hyuga just use open palm strikes and chakra injection to basically kill the person via inner organ damage?" :wut:
There are many cases as to why that isn't the preferred choice of action, the MAIN being that since they are in a world of chakra and ninjitsu someone may even be able to still find a way to heal their organs with their chakra, or worse somehow have armour to tank it.
Shown here we see Tsunade heal her wounds with the byakugou.
Kabuto was also able to heal his wounds with his chakra and we've seen other people like Naruto, Kisame, etc... do the same.
Why take a chance against a strong opponent when you are not certain if they have something up their sleeve to keep them alive. (Heck like Kakuzu they might have more then one hear, and on the battle field lack of information is a given.)
So this leads to my point of sealing/closing the chakra network.
Again there are more then 64 nodes/points in a system even some that are smaller then the major 361 points
but in order to disrupt a ninja's overall chakra function and capability to the point of paralysis, one would just need to hit 32 and would need to complete it with 64 palm hits.
They do this by molding their chakra into needle like points and hitting the nodes with it.
It is NOT an external source but the users OWN chakra that is stored away for a certain amount of time. (Sakura around 2-3years).
The only way for you to break free from a 64 Palm, again is to have an outside source, and Naruto has one called the Kyuubi. Designed by Minato to be the specifically the case.
Which leads back to the Hima point being even more absurd since she trans passed even that and sealed the Kyuubi too.
So all in all the 64 Palm is indeed a needed asset since there is more to fighting and taking down your enemy beyond just stabbing them or attacking their organs.
Wow factor and guaranteed deathblow.
Just because there have been cases where One Jyuuken hit landed a deadly blow, it doesn't mean 64 palms is for naught.
For all I care, those one hits just served their narrative purposes
