Gadou Thrust: Dan grabs the opponent by the collar and hits them with a punch.

* Gadoken ("Self Way Fist"): Dan fires a small wave of Ki energy with one hand. The attack's general range is extremely short. However, Dan can hold his hand and charge the Gadoken, giving it additional power and range. The EX version is a stronger projectile, which maintains the same range. Sometimes, dan can randomly fire a red version of the Gadoken, which is stronger than normal and knocks the opponent down.

Shisso Buraiken: Dan dashes towards the opponent and punches them in the face, proceeding to launch a barrage of blows and finishes with a Koryuken.

Legendary Taunt: Dan performs a series of taunts consecutively.

Hissho Buraiken ("Certain Victory Independent Fist"): Dan's strongest technique, consisting in a rapid flurry of hits. Dan delivers first a knee jab to the opponent's lower section and follows with two punches to their face. He then grabs their wrist and hits them in the midsection with a punch and a kick. Dan lets them go just to hit them in the face with two elbow strikes and two punches. After that, the opponent his forced to kneel with a low kick, which leaves them open to other two kicks in the face and the chest. Dan finishes them off with a powerful Koryuken and a disrespectful taunt.

Saikyo-Style Burairuten no Kamae ("Strongest Style Stance of Independent Flow"): A collection of three taunts Dan is able to perform extremely quickly, dealing a bit of damage to the opponent. The first consists in rolling forward and snap his fingers; Dan can perform this one immediately after delivering a Special Attack, either to deal additional damage or extend his combos. The second features Dan rolling backwards to evade an attack, mocking the opponent once finished. The third is an airborne taunt Dan performs by placing a hand next to his ear; its purpose is the same as the first. These taunts also have the property to raise both Dan and his opponent's energy gauge.

Saikyo-Style Otokoboe ("Strongest Style Manly Cry"): Dan trusts his fist out and deals a little bit of damage. The true purpose of this technique is to be used a feint, immediately canceling it out into another attack.

Tenchi Saikyo no Kata ("Heaven and Earth Strongest Style Form"): Dan focuses his Ki into his fists, enhancing the strength of his Gadoken and Koryuken for awhile.

• Haten Gadoken: The amplified version of the Gadoken. It travels farther and deals much more damage than normal.
• Goh Koryuken: The amplified version of the Koryuken. Dan can perform it twice in a row, while dealing additional damage thanks to the focused Ki.
