Weaknesses: His reliance on weaponry has weakened his "fighter's senses" according to Motobe, and his Poison Hand can be negated by destroying or removing it; he almost always asks the opponent what the most poisonous gas is before using Vacuum Palm on them, so if they aren't paying attention or they don't care they could attack him during his explanation
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Whip Strike: Yanagi makes his limbs go fluid-like and then proceeds to "slap" his opponent mercilessly; the slaps are strong enough to rip the opponent's skin off
*Way of the Void
**Vacuum Palm: Yanagi creates an air vacuum in the palm of his hand. He primarily uses this technique to knock someone unconscious by forcing them to breathe a dangerously low oxygen level; some other uses include destroying bulletproof glass and concrete walls, and blowing air through an opponent's ear to blow their organs out of the other ear
**Poison Hand: After undergoing a special ritual, Yanagi's right hand became extremely poisonous; Baki Hanma was hit by Yanagi's Poison Hand and he became very skinny and weak, as well as constantly coughing up blood. The only way to cure the poison is using another person's Poison Hand
