Zanki (残気, Zanki), translated also as Afterimage in the English Fan-Translation, is a special fighting technique.

Description[]

The Zanki is an ability to move so swiftly that an image of the user is left behind. Theoretically, the Zanki technique is a move that can be performed (to some degree) in the real world, since it merely requires moving faster than the eye can see. This is a similar phenomenon to that of one moving their hand back and forth very fast, and seeing a sort of afterimage of the hand. However, the speed required to move the entire body is far too much for a normal human to perform.

For the first time in the series, the technique is seen during a flashback when Kiryuu Miyazawa used this move against an unnamed Chinese martial arts master. Later, Sonou used this technique during his battle with Kiichi.
