Speed Hell (スピード地獄, Supīdo Jigoku) is a state of high-speed footwork. The technique starts by going at maximum speed from side to side, throwing as many feints as possible.

Usage[]

From the opponent's point of view, they see after-images of the boxer coming at them from all sides. The technique is very exhausting but can make up for it by finding a large opening.

Trivia[]

  • They usually are illustrated in a artistic manner, to show the intensity in that moment from boxer's perspective, with a touch of fantasy, mirroring the character's personality. In the anime, Hawk and Takamura's speed hell had different sound effects.
