“Trixie, there can only be one heir to Hokuto Shinken, and for now, that heir is me… When the time comes, I shall find a worthy successor to the Divine Claw of the Ursa Major, but that time is not now…”  
“…Hoku-wha-huh…???”  
“Nothing.”

ORA!

“I mean teaching.”

@Solitude  
Kinda wanted one of the two of them to explode or something, rather than just “I used a technique that negates your technique, then causes half the next episode to occur with flashbacks!”
 
Not bad, though.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Well, he tried. Didn’t entirely work out.

@Solitude  
Will Anji kill Sanosuke with the rock-breaking method to Sanosuke’s face?
 
’Cause that would be pretty……. messy.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Nah, s’alright. Probably could’ve done that better. I’m not particularly good at this reference thing.

@Solitude  
OH! Sorry, my bad. I thought it was directly referencing the scene that the link took me to. I apologize. :(

@ShimmeringStallion  
The picture was mainly because I wanted to join in with the rest of the comments going on about people smashing rocks and making a reference. Note that Anji mentions that if Sanosuke can’t learn the technique in a month Anji will kill him. And while he’s explaining the technique, he’s not teaching it. He mentions that the technique wasn’t meant to be taught to others. So it’s more of a do or die situation.
 
The thing was supposed to imply, for those who got the reference, that Maud would react in a similar manner.

@Solitude  
Sorry, you’d said “If you don’t learn it in a month”, then just showed the picture, which has a link in which the guy is telling another guy how to do it.
 
Ergo, the logical train of thought becomes “That guy will explain it.” My bad, my misunderstanding… well… I still don’t know what the picture was posted, for… scratches head sheepishly

@ShimmeringStallion  
Well, no. He’s not much of the training sort. He is, however, the first thing that came to mind when I read this comic. Helps that that’s also the first “break rock by punching” guy I was ever introduced to.

@Solitude  
… She’ll have that guy train Trixie, instead?

She’ll teach you. But if you don’t learn it in a month…  

@TheDog
 
Ah yes, that, too :3

@OneOverTwo
 
I think of Monkey D. Garp from One Piece stating how he trained to fight a guy by punching mountains to death.

@Dirty Bit  
I think of the breaking point technique from Ranma 1/2, since it’s basically exactly this.

@Blood Brandy
 
I think of Feng Wei’s ending from Tekken 5, only it’s a boulder and not a mountain.

It’s like Hoof of the North Star or something

Maud Pie: “If you would excuse me, I am expected to participate in the annual Canterlot Combat Contest.”  
Trixie: “WHAT! Trixie is not informed of such contest.”  
Maud Pie: “I am representing my family since my (younger) sister represents the Cakes.”  
Trixie: “Please, Trixie needs to see more of your family business.”  
Maud Pie: “Have I not told you that our mother was trained by our father after their wedding? Carving cliffs smooth while I was still a foetus?”  
Trixie: “WOW! Trixie is now convinced. Maybe one day, Trixie will surely beat my rivals.”  
Maud Pie: “That’s how Equestria was made.”
