Some of Toriko's first offensive moves are the **Fork** and the **Knife**. By curving his hands in to a fork-like resemblance or straightening his hands like a knife, he could pierce or cut through his target. This techniques are powerful enough to destroy titanum alloy or boulders and beasts. Also, Toriko created many different variations of the fork and knife. The **Flying** variations of these techniques are able to attack enemies in a far distance, and helping Toriko overcome his weakness of range. Toriko is able to use these techniques with his leg, which has up to 4 times more muscle power.

### Kugi Punch

However, his most famous move is the **Kugi Punch**, otherwise known as the **Nail Punch**. Toriko can create a punch so powerful that it can easily break through concrete and steel, and knock out even extremely powerful beasts. After building up power in his arm, Toriko unleashes it as a flurry of straight jabs that seem to hit the target simultaneously, creating a number of surreal, delayed shockwaves. By flexing his arm muscles even more he can land more hits in the same instant; the power increases immensely with every additional hit.

### Autophagy

When Toriko uses up all his energy up to the point where he could not even move, he could surge up immense power to force his body to move by eating his own cells. This is called **Autophagy**, and it has a critical side-effect. Even though great power is summoned, after a short period of time lasting for about 5 minutes, Toriko may actually die.

Toriko is now capable of projecting his intimidation into colossal sizes, easily towering over the strongest of beasts.

### Ultimate Routine

To fully utilize the effects of the technique requires an astonishing level of concentration and self-confidence, depending on the difficulty of the desired impression. Now Toriko is able to defeat even the strongest of enemies without much effort.

### Enbu

This technique allows Toriko to unite the will of all 60 trillion cells in his body, resulting in a drastic increase in his speed, power, and perception to new levels. Toriko, while using Enbu, can use the secret techniques associated with Enbu as well as increase the power of his existing offensive moves such as the Nail Punch.
