      When Fukurou started using his "Dugong" technique, he said it was faster than Shigan, would that mean it could put a hole through somebody? Cause that would be awesome!!

        I think he just means it's a punch version of shigan, in the sense that shigan is supposed to be bullet speed. Maybe he could do that to a weak guy in One Piece.

          No, what he actually said was that it's a super-heavy punch that goes at the speed of Shigan.

            Look at Fukurou's fingers. He can't perform a Shigan. The punch was probably his best attempt at it; he was using his whole arm as a finger.

              Shigan is a "Finger Gun".. Dugong is not a gun.

                That word "Dugong" wouldn't have anything to do with the "Kung Fu Dugongs," would it?

                  not really. it's pronounced "jugon" instead of Dugong

                    Isn't Dugong the Philipinese word for Seals?

                      Despite the fact technically he should be able to as he's introduced as a Rokushiki user in contrast to someone like Nero.

                        That's not what I meant, but I doubled checked and it appears Fukurou's hands in Chapter 404 look deceptively small. Looking at Fukurou's punch, his fingers looked too small and too short to emulate a bullet equivalent impact; however, various shots of him (notably Chapter 389) illustrate his hands as somewhat more proportional to his size.

                          IMO, the line "a punch with the speed of shigan" simply means that it's a punch, stronger than a finger, even stronger than shigan. Fukurou actually got quite unlucky as he had to fight the one opponent (apart from Luffy) immune, or highly resistant, to striking attacks.

                              The artist, our God Oda, made some changes. So? Jeez, don't take every pixel into account. It's not like everything would stay 100% consistent. Fukurou could perform Shigan if he wanted to, and if Oda intended him to do so, he would've drawn his fingers a bit bigger.

                              If you look at Zoro's swords when he first appeared, the hilts are so short they look like … short hilts. That doesn't mean that the hilts grew to their length now.

                                No, I totally understand what you meant about Mr. Stubby. But since he is a Rokushiki user there must be some way he can do it. That's all.

                                  For those curious to know the individual meanings of the kanji used in Jugon (獣厳), here's what Jim Breen's WWWJDIC has to say:

                                  For the first kanji, the meanings are: "animal; beast"

                                  For the second kanji, the meanings are: "stern; strictness; severity; rigidity"

                                  Also, I highly doubt that this is an actual word, so don't expect anyone to really be able to pronounce it without the yomigana (rubi) next to it.

                                        I laugh at your ignorance. Except I'd cough up a lung, so tha's not gonna happen. A Dugong is an actual creature closely related to the manatee.
                                        Mr Wikipedia can explain better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugong

                                        The point is it's NOT. A. GODAMNED. POKEMON. It's spelled differently, and the pokemon is supposed to resemble a seal more.

                                          When a word or phrase is uncommon and/or hard to pronounche, small red letters called rubi are put next to that work to aid pronunciation. Newspapers are, I believe, required to supply rubi for uncommon Kanji.

                                            When a word or phrase is uncommon and/or hard to pronounche, small red letters called rubi are put next to that work to aid pronunciation. Newspapers are, I believe, required to supply rubi for uncommon Kanji.

                                            Now…help me here. I know it's called furigana and even yomigana, but where did this 'rubi' term come from?

                                            When searching rubi or even rubikana/rubigana whatever, in English or Japanese, I get absolutely nothing. So where is this word from?

                                            No matter where you go, there you are.

                                              I think that rubi (or ruby which is prrobably a more correct transliteration) is the generic and typografical term that isn't language specific like furigana.

                                                Okay, thank you! So as I thought, this is a foreign word (in the sense that it's NOT Japanese). Thought it was strange that I'd never come across the word in my life before.

                                                  @Freeman-12:

                                                  Isn't Dugong the Philipinese word for Seals?

                                                  No, Dugong is not Filipino for "seal," like omeone else kinda mentioned. And I don't know of a finger that's too stubby to pierce. I mean, it's still a finger.

                                                  My guess is that he's just not a poker. It could be okay, but very likely wouldn't work on Franky and it's probably just more fun to smash.

                                                    Actually, a dugong is a type of manatee or sea cows( The real animal, not Arlong Park's Moo). Though how this figure in Fukurou's attack I don't know.

                                                      It is simply a punch at the speed and power of Shigan.

                                                      Shigan is a technique to pierce what it hits, like a bullet. A finger bullet. He does the same with his fist, but I don't believe it is meant to pierce like Shigan is.
