Bite (噛みつき, Kamitsuki) is a fighting technique.
Description[]
Biting is one of the most primitive, easy, and effective techniques used across all mammals alike. The user uses his jaws/teeth to tear the flesh, skin or otherwise cause damage and pain to the opponent. The bite is also the antithesis of the technique named Aiki, since the force to attack is 0, the user of Aiki cannot redirect it.
Jack Hanma and Pickle are the most common users of this brutal move. Jack can easily tear human flesh, coconuts and hard woods with his teeth. Later it is shown that Pickle's fang is even stronger as he can eat dinosaur and bite off parts of the human body. However, in the Baki Dou series, Jack mastered his own fighting style called "Goudou". Using the style, Jack's biting abilities are even better and stronger, as it allows him to have a sense of where vital points are to attack. Also, he had a full set of artificial titanium teeth surgically implanted in his mouth. Thus, it is hard to say whose biting skills are stronger at the moment.
For the first time in the series, Baki Hanma would use the technique on Mount Toba in order to escape the wrestler's Chicken Wing Facelock. Later in the series, Jack Hanma used this move against Kengo Misaki in the Maximum Tournament. Later, Zulu used the bite against Baki in the tournament. Yuujirou Hanma used this move in his fight with Jack Hanma when after the tournament Jack challenged Yuujirou and when he charged at him Yuujirou managed to bite Jack's jugular vein.
In the third manga series, Jack challenged Pickle to a biting contests during the beginning of their first fight, Pickle ended up winning and bite a skin covering half of Jack's face off. Later, in the Hanma Baki VS Kengan Ashura movie, Jack used this technique against Raian Kure.
In the fourth manga series, Jack used this technique against Izou Motobe, who managed to partially countered it using explosive inside his shirt. Motobe would later use this technique during his fight against Musashi Miyamoto, in which sustained many injuries from the samurai which included on his lungs and collarbone, along with losing the feeling of movement in his right arm and had both of his legs brutally slashed. Without one of his arms, Motobe was forced to improvise a Rear Naked Choke by biting on his left arm which ultimately led to his victory.
In the Baki Rahen manga series, Jack used his bite against Koushou Shinogi. Also, in a flashback, it is said that Megacles used this against his opponent at the ancient Olympics in Greece. According to the manga series, Megacles had been the first in mankind's history to use biting as a technique.
