The Wolf Fang Fist (狼牙風風拳 Rōgafūfūken) is a technique of rapid, charged melee strikes empowered by a wolf totem, and is Yamcha's signature attack. First seen in Dragon Ball, the Wolf Fang Fist is a unique attack in that no energy is directly expelled from the user, rather ki energy empowers the strikes with incredible force, usually through the focus of a totem animal. The technique is shown as a flurry of punches and kicks that seem much more effective and powerful than Yamcha's standard physical strikes, often times seen trailed by a red aura or the crimson wolf itself. As Yamcha is the only person to commonly perform an attack of this nature, it is assumed he also invented it. In Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, Gotenks somehow managed to learn this technique and use it against the enemy in an interesting combo together with the Volleyball Attack. Gohan mistakenly referred to this technique as "Dog Tooth Fist" in Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu. Although Cell is never seen using it, it is likely that he can, as he possesses Yamcha's DNA.
[edit] Trivia
- While many other, superior Ki attacks are seen in the series, and the attack never appears once in Dragon Ball Z until Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return!!, it has the distinction of being the first Ki attack seen in the entire series, even before the Kamehameha Wave.
