Obake Punch

An Obake Punch is an enduring technique first used in animated variations by Masahito Yamashita, Yoshinori Kanada, Hirotoshi Sano, Hideki Tamura and Shinsaku Kozuma. However, it otherwise appeared in Shonen manga and Tokusatsu shows before its crossover to animation became famous in the long run.

Almost everybody in the Shonen and Seinen anime industry has done variants of the Obake Punch one way or another.
