ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Steroid peach? -
  
  Following the transformation of Taikoubou from wimpy to formidable opponent, Raishinshi is a bit perturbed. He is unable to believe that Taikoubou's sudden power is due to a mere fighting technique; obviously, he suspects that Taikoubou has stuffed his "Immortal Peach" with performance enhancing drugs. This idea was not translated directly to "steroids," because the Japanese use the loanword "suteroido" when it is a literatim reference. Nevertheless, these are doubtless the type of "muscle augmentation" drugs that Raishinshi means.
  EDIT SHARE
- Densuiken -
  
  When Taikoubou duels with Raishinshi he eventually resorts to the "densuiken" method of fighting. Literally this term means "dead drunk fist" - although it is sometimes referred to as the "drunken fist" technique in a popular culture. The ancient and honorable art of drunken martial arts has been followed for millenia and it can be found in a great deal of recent hit movies. The mechanics of the technique are self-evident (in this case, they involve eating an alcoholic peach). Taikoubou seems to be especially skilled (or perhaps just especially drunk) at this potent, unpredictable technique and he defeats Raishinshi quite easily.
