Master Shen (Dragon Ball series) is the creator of Tsuru-Sennin Ryu/Crane School Style, an assassination art he taught to Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu...
...as well as his younger brother Mercenary Tao Pai Pai, who is so skilled at the art he can kill with only his tongue.
Wanting to focus solely on strength and destruction, Raoh/Ken-Oh (Fist of the North Star) modified the Hokuto Shin Ken to create the Gō no Ken/Fist of Strength, a powerful martial art that destroys everything in its path, and the greater his opponent is, the stronger the practitioner becomes.
Wanting his opponents to not suffer during death, Toki (Fist of the North Star) modified the Hokuto Shin Ken to create the Jū no Ken/Fist of Gentleness which could induce a sense of ecstasy instead of horrifying pain.
