You still misunderstood.

I didn't say they didn't use them. I said it was rare throughout the series, and up until the end of the first part of HNK (Raoh's arc), only those I had listed in an earlier post had USED such up until that final fight with Ken and Raoh.

HNK2 anime they became more frequent with the bad guys using such (demonstrated with Ken's first major opponent having a style that focuses on flinging plasma, and it just increased from there).
