New Jutsu for Makai:
Kenjutsu:
A Rank-Torite (捕手, "Catching Hand"): Being a sub-discipline of Jujutsu, Makai has shown himself to be a true master of the Torite technique. Appropiately named "catching hand", the Torite is a technique that allows for a martial arts master to deflect and catch actual weapons. With a skill level like Makai , the Torite becomes great to catch the blade of even most Zanjutsu masters. The idea of Torite, or rather his use of it, works according to the method at which Makai uses his hand or fingers to catch onto an opponent's sword. Using a single finger to block the strike of a sword is one of her favorite uses of Torite. In reality, Makai allows his finger to act like "a rock in the river", allowing energy to circle around it without any harm befalling it. By his immense comprehension of energy and force flow, Makai causes the entire force behind the opponent's sword attack to essentially move around his finger and escape from the opposite end in the very miniscule instant that her finger and the opponent's blade come into contact; that very instant. In this sense, at the very nanosecond that her finger and the blade make contact, the force behind the blow has completely abandoned the sword strike, meaning it has returned to a state of rest, making it child's play for Makai to hold the blade's sharp edge with his finger. Therefore, the only conceivable possibility to actually strike Makai with a sword strike comes down to pure skill, not strength nor motion of the swing. Therefore, attemting to strike down Makai with a single sword technique is virtually impossible and must require a combination of masterful timing and master-class skill level in order to land a contact blow.
Crescent Moon Slash ( 三日月スラッシュ, Mikazuki Surasshu ): This technique allows for a precision cut of extreme force and speed, it can slice through a large boulder. It takes the form of a crescent shaped uppercut slash.
Moonlight Song (月光の曲, Gekkō no Kyoku): This is a special technique used by Rihan during the night time. By reflecting the moonlight off his blade, Makai can send a small wave of light along the ground toward her opponent.
Striking Moon (ムーンを打つ, Mūn o utsu): Makai holds his blade straight and then charges forward to attack an opponent with a thrust. This allows him to increase the distance between him and an opponent.
Moonlight Water (月水, Tsuki-sui): This technique is used when surrounded by water. Rihan will use his blade to lift waves of water from around him, the opponent then gets distracted by his reflection on the water; Makai uses this distraction to attack the opponent from above, landing a quick strike.
Tsukiyūrei (月幽霊, moon spectre): With the user is able to make himself temporarily intangible causing physical attacks to phase through him, but only for a very limited period of time; its maximum time being 10 minutes at a time,but this taxes Health greatly and can blur vision if used excessively.(One use per every 3 post.
Secret Technique: Risangetsu (離散月, Scattering Moon - Cherry Blossoms:The target sees the illusion of purple cherry blossoms falling around them. As their vision begins to blur and become unfocused, their consciousness becomes muddled, disoriented, and confused. Shortly thereafter, the target blacks out altogether, losing consciousness, only to awaken with an unclear memory of what occurred.This can only be used once in battle and wears off after three of the users post.
Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月; Literally meaning "Mirror Flower, Water Moon") It distorts an enemy's perception of the user by creating an illusion akin to an afterimage that allows the user to attack from behind or have additional time to recover.
Flash:A swift attack where the user swings his sword,releasing a sharp crescent in the arc that the blade was swung.
Iaidō Strike:Adhering to the principles of Iaidō, the user performs a quick and powerful slash with his sword in order to cut the intended target, before immediately resheathing the blade afterwards.This attack is most affective against monsters and can be used to block attacks.
Bougetsu Flash: The user slashes upwards to create the image of a full moon, then slashes down at an angle to slice through the moon, staying rooted to the ground during the attack
Sakugetsu Flash: The user swings one sword in a single, large, crescent moon-shaped arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available. The swing can be used to counter attacks from multiple opponents simultaneously when timed correctly
Water Release Techniques:
C Rank- A Thousand Needles of Death:Using this technique, the user gathers some water from the air and surrounding environment into one thousand long needles. They then direct them to a specific target at high speed, leaping backwards before impact so he or she doesn't get caught in the crossfire. While the needles do surround a target from all sides, they don't appear above the target, creating an escape route.
B Rank- Black Tortoise Tsunami:Makai creates a giant tortoise with a serpent for a tail completely made out of water. Purple water for the head, legs and tail and black water for the shell.
It primarily attacks by shooting jets of water from the mouth and tail that are powerful enough to crush boulders. It can also be used as a defensive technique by protecting the user inside its shell, the black water makes the user visually hidden from enemy attacks.
Rank C-Water Mirror Technique:Makai creates a large, flat, circular pool of water in front of their opponent. Its surface acts like a mirror, perfectly reflecting the attacking targets. By then rotating the 'mirror' 90°, the reflections emerge and materialise from the mirror, where they collide with the mirrored targets. As these reflections use the exact same techniques as the enemy regardless of its type, they counter their respective target's attack completely, while repelling them in the process. However, upon impact, the reflections disperse back into water and the user is susceptible to the backlash.
Genjutsu:
A Rank- Serpent's Eye Charm: A simple but strong genjutsu where the user's eyes become snake-like and the target becomes hypnotised or "charmed" upon eye contact. While under it's effect, the person will be unable to move leaving them vulnerable to attacks. To negate this, all someone has to do is break the eye contact between the victim and the user.
