Changes: Reverse Lotus

Revision as of 17:43, 8 June 2015

This is a more destructive version of the Front Lotus that requires at least three of the Eight Gates be opened. Once enough gates are opened, the user kicks the target into the air and continues to strike them at inhuman speeds. They then deliver a final, powerful open-handed strike and kick at the same time, sending the target crashing into the ground; this is usually fatal due to the speed and power behind the attack.

Opening so many gates at the same time will likely leave the user unable to stand afterwards, and for that reason the Reverse Lotus can only be performed once.^[2]

Trivia

In Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Rock Lee performs the Reverse Lotus using his nunchaku in place of the bandages around his wrists he would usually use to throw his opponent up into the air.

-This technique is an advanced and more destructive version of the [[Front Lotus]], which requires that at least three [[Eight Gates|chakra gates]] be opened. Once enough gates are opened, the user kicks the target into the air and continues to strike them at inhuman speeds before hitting them with a final, powerful open-handed strike and kick at the same time, sending the target crashing into the ground which is usually fatal due to the speed and power behind the attack.

-Because so many chakra gates are opened at once, this technique can only be used once, since the user will likely be unable to stand afterwards. This is proven when Lee is left barely able to stand after using it on [[Gaara]], and the latter's powerful defences and long-distance attacks allowed him to win the match.
