Kyo's Sword Style


Some notes from Wikipedia about Kyo's Sword Style:

Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken

Demon Eyes Kyo's sword style is the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken (Earthly Wind of God Style Murdering Sword), which was taught to him by Muramasa, his master and the man who made Kyo's sword. It teaches standard fencing skills and defense, but they are far more powerful than any of the skills of other sword styles. It is the most powerful sword school in the Mibu Clan. His attacks are:

  • Mizuchi: An attack that uses the air to cut an opponent to pieces.
  • Shinkiro: An attack that creates illusion of his opponent's worse nightmare, then kills him, and is usually shortened to Shin.
  • Suzaku: An attack that's so fast, even one of the Four Emperors can barely follow the attack's path. A fiery phoenix surrounds Kyo as he cuts his into his opponent. If the first attack does not kill his opponent or is turned aside somehow, a second attack with twice as much power, is used immediately.
  • Byakko: A white tiger that tears the opponent aparts with it's claws. A superior technique to Suzaku, and consequently, the difficulty of execution and the subsequent stress on Kyo is also greater.
  • Genbu: A black tortoise entwined with serpents, and is both an offensive and defensive technique. Genbu's shell protects Kyo from an opponent's attack, while the serpents bind and destroy them.
  • Seiryu: More than a dozen Mizuchi are projected towards the opponent and surrounds them, eventually merging to create an immobilizing and destructive whirlwind that pulls the opponent into the heavens, where the waiting Kyo (in the form of the legendary blue dragon) descends to deliver the final blow.
  • Kouryu: During the final battle with Mibu Kyoshiro, Kyo's faith reaches it's peak and allows him to surpass his limits, giving him the ability to summon all of the Four Gods simultaneously, which in turn brought forth from the heavens a golden wind of unsurpassed power. But it's while in possession of his original body that Kyo was able to summon the golden wind again in it's true form: the ultimate heavenly dragon Kouryu.
