I was thinking about one of Kenshiro’s most famous moves, the Hokuto Zankai Ken, i.e. The One Where He Sticks his Fingers in Your Head and a Counter Appears And You Die When it Gets to Zero, and the scene in which he used it on Souther to no effect. Souther’s secret is that his heart is on the right side of his body so all of his pressure points are reversed, and this is why he is, under normal circumstances, immune to Hokuto Shinken. But if that’s the case, that must mean one of a few things.
1) The two pressure points Kenshiro hits are not the same ones on each side.
2) Kenshiro IS pressing the same left and right points on the side of the head, but uses a different amount of pressure on each side.
3) The human head’s pressure points aren’t symmetrical.
4) Souther simply can’t be affected by Hokuto Zankai Ken even if Kenshiro knows his secret.
Yes, I thought too much about this

Yes you ave thought to much about that but that’s the whole point isn’t it? You can’t really call yourself an otaku unless you spend at leat and hour a day spinning around on a desk chair mulling over the whether or not goku could beat superman in a fight.

I think it’s a combination of 1 and 3, perhaps with the different pressures exerted factoring in as well. Certainly in a lot of instances Kenshiro will say he struck a particular singular point even though he’s actually struck his intended target’s body several times. I like to think these preliminary hits are merely to set up or otherwise expose the final point.
In any case, the Hokuto Zankai Ken is much like all other Hokuto Shinken techniques in that they could never be figured out or practiced by anyone other than a true master of the art, preferably one who carries on the 2000 year bloodline of the original founders. We should therefore quit while we’re ahead, lest our quest for knowledge result in our conducting mad experiments to turn people into the inspirations for Zangief and such.
