Dragon Uppercut, called ''Thunder God Fist'' (雷神拳 ''Raijinken'') in Japanese, has been in ''Tekken'' since its inception and is used by every character that does Mishima-style fighting karate, though characters like Armor King have also used it. The move is typically performed with →, neutral, ↓, ↘ + 1, though other characters have slightly different activation methods depending on the game. Like in ''Smash'', the move is quite slow and is generally not used often due to better options. Kazuya's [[Rage Drive]] is a variation of this attack that follows up with [[Heaven's Door]]. [[Heihachi Mishima]] has a stronger version known as the Omen Thunder God Fist that has existed since ''Tekken 4'', and can also use it as a [[Spinning Demon]] follow-up. When Kazuya transforms into Devil in ''Tekken 7'', he can also use the move as a follow-up to Spinning Demon. Both Devil and Devil Jin can extend the move into Heaven's Door.

Two slower, but more powerful and unblockable versions of Dragon Uppercut, named Lightning Uppercut and Lightning Screw Uppercut, can be performed by Kazuya, Jin (pre-Tekken 4) and Devil Jin, in which they spin once or twice, while surrounding themselves with electricty before delivering the uppercut.
