King's Rage Art in Tekken 7.
A Rage Art is a type of move introduced in Tekken 7. It is a powerful attack with power crushing properties that can only be used when a fighter has Rage. Rage Arts are similar to Ultra Combos in the Street Fighter IV series and Critical Edges in Soulcalibur V. Rage Arts were the only moves that let a character expend their Rage status until the introduction of Rage Drives in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution.
List of Rage Arts in Tekken 7
- Akuma- Performs a Wrath of the Raging Demon. Akuma strafes towards his opponent and grabs them. Four kanji appear on the screen (一瞬千撃', Isshun Sengeki, "One instant/blink, thousand hits"). The screen then goes black as Akuma strikes the opponent multiple times in a short period of time. Akuma is then shown standing over the opponent, back to the camera with the kanji 天 (ten, "heaven") emblazoned on his back. Like in the Street Fighter series, Akuma cannot combo into this move during a juggle. However, this move can be combo from the walled opponents. This Rage Art is unblockable and can only be avoided by being far enough away or by jumping.

Furthermore in Season 3, Akuma can now perform a combo into this move when his opponent is at Tailspin state.

Gameplay
Most Rage Arts are mid attacks, meaning they can hit both standing and crouching opponents. All Rage Arts except Akuma's can be blocked, however, and all except for Jin and Hwoarang's are punishable on block.
Rage Arts do more damage the less health the user has. As Rage Arts have power crushing properties a fighter who initiates one can still execute the attack if they are hit during the start up animation (as long as they have enough health to survive the attack), making them powerful crush moves.
However, given that Rage Art's are punishable and using them forfeits your rage status, Rage Drive's are generally safer and more useful alternatives. It is possible to combo into a Rage Art however, and this is a safe way to deal a ton of damage.
