<blockquote><cite>aneko said:</cite> </blockquote> Is this like some early version of brass knuckles? It looks kind of cool, one question though. Like I imagine it would be pretty hard to put that in your pocket XD where would it be stored?

It was the closest thing to "keys between the fingers" that I could find.

It's called a "loaded fist" -- you're striking with something in your hand that augments the effectiveness of your punch by making your fist seem harder, heavier (mass*acceleration), or more painful.

<blockquote><cite>bumpermelon said:</cite> One of they guys earlier said something about Kenichi, what is that? An anime? </blockquote> Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple (also known as History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi) is a manga (ongoing, 43 volumes) and anime (50 episodes and 2 OVAs). The story is about Shirahama Ken'ichi, a 16 year old high school student. He meets a new transfer student, an attractive girl named Fūrinji Miu. One day after school, Kenichi sees her being threatened by a group of bullies. He tries to help, but Miu takes out the bullies by herself. Kenichi, wanting to become stronger to protect those he cares about, goes with Miu to her home, a large dojo. There he meets 6 masters of differing martial arts. At first, they don't take him seriously, but eventually, one by one, they start to train him in earnest. This leads to him getting involved in battles outside the dojo, mostly against his will. It is noted for the martial arts being based on real styles (although exaggerated somewhat), its character development, high sense of humor, overall story line, and unique character designs. I have not read the manga, but I have see the anime. Although it's slightly ecchi in parts, the action and humor make it well worth watching.

Too many flash and image elements for Google translation to be useful, but yeah, there have been some updates earlier this year. About all I can tell.

Holy crap, it's like the movies where the bad guys are launched ten feet in the air by pistol shots. If I were one of those guys he "takes down" I'd want my face blurred out. I think I'd die if somebody recognized me helping to demonstrate that fail.
