Dokou no Kata[]
- Dokou no Kata 1st mode: Aragami (Wild God): A counterattack, the user raises his sword horizontally over his head. When the enemy weapon is about to hit him, he attacks the weapon with a downward slash while rotating the sword at the same time, resulting in a powerful blow that knocks back the weapon, chipping it.
- Dokou no Kata 2nd mode: Iwagui (Boulder Eater): This technique is especially effective when a pair of swords is locked together. The user uses the same movement as Aragami to push back the opponent, knocking him off balance and pushing his sword away.
Kagutsuchi no Kata[]
