Triceratops Fist (トリケラトプス拳, Torikeratopusu Ken) is one of Baki Hanma's signature fighting technique.
Description[]
This peculiar stance was inspired by various martial art stance that mimic various animals, such as Toroken (Mantis Fist), or Kokeiken (Tiger Palm Fist), to which Baki has created his own stance based on dinosaurs, as he deemed them to be the strongest animal to ever walked on earth.
To use this stance, Baki first leans his upper body forward, then lower his body by putting his right leg back and clenches both his fists, one above and one below his head each, to make a stance resembling that of a Triceratops. Baki can make another version of this technique that imitates other prehistoric creatures, such as a Pteranodon or a T-rex.
The stance grants Baki massive increase in offensive power, especially when combined with his own power of imagination. When using this stance, Baki is capable of manifesting an "imaginary" triceratops or other dinosaur, and even capable of combined them into an extremely powerful "chimera", all of which granted boost in power, speed, and endurance. Despite the fact that Baki's weight is only about 70 kg at the time of his fight with Pickle, the weight of a charge performed using this stance exceeds 100 kg, and the power is strong enough to push over a car with ease.
For the first time, Baki used this technique was against Pickle in the third manga series. Later, he used the Triceratops Fist during his fight with Yuujirou Hanma in the third manga series and also against Nomi no Sukune the 2nd in the Baki Dou manga series.
