==Overview==
Gohan attacks with a sharp hook punch to the opponent's gut. Then, he follows up with a swift uppercut to the opponent's chin, knocking them away and inflicting a high amount of damage.
==Usage==
Gohan uses this attack during the battle against Cell in the Cell Games. Seeing as he cannot defeat Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, Perfect Cell unleashes his full power in hopes of gaining a bigger advantage against the young Saiyan, although Gohan is unimpressed with his power up. However, when he punches Gohan hard in the face, Gohan is barely fazed. Just before Perfect Cell could land another blow, Gohan counterattacks with the Soaring Dragon Strike, severely injuring Perfect Cell, much to the shock of the other Z Fighters.Dragon Ball Z episode 186, "The Unstoppable Gohan"

==Trivia==
*Its Japanese name is nearly identical to the Shoryuken from the Street Fighter series even in name; even more, both are powerful swift jumping-uppercuts which launch the victims away upon connecting. Additionally, the execution of the technique is similar to Shin Shoryuken, a Super Art used by Ryu. Both attacks throw a gut punch first before following up with a jumping uppercut.
