[*]Activation - In this stage the user's perception increases as the clarity of their vision becomes more sharpened preventing motion blur from those moving at C-rank speed. Utilizing this the user becomes able to notice muscle movement allowing them to "predict" physical actions to improve their reaction speed even further. In order to activate the user must slay their kin.

Cleo's Iaido Range = +1 ft

Name: Struggle Gaze
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: This is a perception based fighting style created by Cleo due to a life of hardship and suffering as an Alchemist within the Tenshi Clan. She learned fairly early on how to survive and the only way she did was by having enhanced perception abilities only gained as a result of a combination of necessity and her Cypher heritage. While seeming like a simple fighting style at first glance it is pretty complex as it involves dedication to mastering one's available tiers and a specific make up to be truly effective. One could even say it is unique to Cypher due to involving Reaction, Barrier & Speed Tiers as well as their various combinations. Depending on the users skill level the types of sensory granted by successful tier chains vary.
Rank - Tier Chain Unlocked (Benefit/Sensory)
D - Reaction+Speed (Enhanced Perception/The Struggle)
C - Speed+Barrier (Genjutsu Detection/The Gaze)
B - Barrier+Reaction (Nen Detection/The Insight)

Name: Struggle Gaze: The 3rd Struggle
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cleo was born in the struggle, shaped and molded by it. She learned early on that only those who were perceptive enough to know when to disappear, where to find useful materials, what to look for, who to talk to & why the struggle was so real. This technique was refined overtime, allowing her reaction speed to be honed as she grew up, resulting in this Reaction + Speed Tier Chain. This technique grants Cleo B-rank Reaction++ Tiers, when she is utilizing her eyes to perceive something however when without her impressive sight her reflexes are so honed that she can fulfill a B-rank Reaction+ Tier check with ease. This technique is most useful when attempting to see through concealment techniques whether personal or area concealment as well as reacting to high speeds seeing as one of it's composites is the Cypher specific Reaction Tiers.

Name: Iaido
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-rank (Cypher Only)
Class: Offensive
Range: Close (Proximity to Trigger), Short (+Displacement Aura)

Description: Iaido refers to a specific style of kenjutsu that is concerned with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the uchigatana from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. The linear motion and force applied to draw the sword from its scabbard result in much faster slashes than ones realized with the uchigatana already drawn. This is explicitly used by Cypher simply due to their mastery of weapon based combat which allows them to literally stop opponents from preforming equal rank ninjutsu if they are within a set amount of the opponent and use this technique. If the opponent doesn't stop however they will sustain damage thus interrupting them from completing their technique & causing them to waste the chakra used in the technique requiring hand-seals. Iaido is very specific in it's timing and proximity to determine the exact speed at which an Iaido technique can intercept hand seals at a set speed, Iaido techniques are by definition Contact range, any time an Iaido technique has any rage above Contact (Short, Mid & or Long) it means it involves the use of Displacement Aura to extend the range. If the Cypher lacks that type of Displacement Aura then the rage is dropped back down to Close or whatever the max range they can get when utilizing displacement aura.
Proximity to Opponent - Hand-Seal Speed Interrupted
5ft - Equal-Rank (For Example D-rank Speed)
4ft - Equal-rank+ (For Example Swift Release)
3ft - Equal-rank++ (For Example D-rank Speed+Strength)

Suzume's Iaido Range = +17 ft
Iai Slicing (A-rank Speed & A-rank Reaction) + Iai Quick-Draw = Iai Slicing is capable of cutting opponents moving at S-rank Speed to deal A-rank Damage.
If 22 ft away it can interrupt Hand Seals Equal to the Speed that the Iaido Technique is used.
If 21 ft away it can interrupt 1 Tier High Hand Seals
If 20 ft away it can interrupt 2 Tiers Higher Hand Seals
If 19 ft away it can interrupt 3 Tiers Higher Hand Seals
If 18 ft away it can interrupt 1-rank Higher Hand Seals

Name: Iai Quick-Draw
Classification: Kenjutsu
Original Rank: D
Count: 0/2
Current Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Kenjutsu)

Description: A modification of the Iai line of techniques which involves Xan specifically drawing his blade early rather than do it smoothly resulting in a loss of power in exchange for a boost in speed. Depending on his skill level the amount of techniques he is capable of doing this for varies however the thing that remains constant is that the technique loses 1-rank in damage dealt but gains 1-rank in the speed it is preformed at. This was done in response to opponents who had little to no resilience but were easily capable of dodging normal kenjutsu strikes. That was of course, unacceptable to Xan, and thus he refined the most basic principle of Iaido, the art of drawing a blade quickly, in order to counteract it. Subsequent Retraining only increases the speed at which the user may draw their blade at the same original cost of reducing the damage dealt by the strike.

Name: Iai Slicing
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short-Range

Description: Adhering to the principles of Iaidō, the user performs a quick and powerful slash with their sword in order to cut the intended target, before immediately resheathing the blade afterwards. This technique is a powerful C-rank technique simply due to the speed in which it is preformed as it can slice a person moving at C-rank speed as if it was nothing. In addition when the user has speed tiers the damage is increased by 1-rank above the user's speed tiers, if they have reaction tiers above C-rank the speed of the opponent they can slice is increased to be equivalent with their reaction tiers.

Name: Fourth Reaction
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank:A-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cypher naturally have better reaction speed and have inbuilt senses which allow them to detect small changes and point out things that seem out of the ordinary. This sense of battle grants them the ability to react to A-rank speeds even if they don't possess sped tiers and detect opponents who are being hidden by A-rank hiding techniques. In addition when they do possess speed tiers it gives them the ability to react to speeds up to 1 rank above their own as long as it doesn't exceed their rank.

Name: Vacuum Release
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: The user actually breaks the sound barrier upon use of this attack, their bodies are not even visible the only thing seen being a cloud of steam formed from them moving in the air formed by the vacuum left by the user.

Muscle Tension + Mashin Raidengan used to predict Suzume's actions.
S+ speeds used to cover the ground between Hiro and Suzume.
Lack of Intent used.
Batto used to interrupt her use of Iai Slicing.
Hiro delivers a slash at S+ speeds to her stomach if hit she will be sent flying back into Cleo.
B rank NE used


Name: Lack of Intent
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Xan's Kenjutsu is deadly not because he uses Iaido effectively but because he has no wasted movement nor indication that he is going to attack before he does. This is something cultivated through practice to eliminate any sign of muscle tension as well as traces of killing intent and is a specific counter to those who utilize dojutsu which slow down objects as their "prediction" becomes useless when faced with spontaneous movement. This coupled with speed equal to their rank makes Xan's kenjutsu attacks unreadable to their eyes negating the advantages that such dojutsu have over him in physical combat. When dealing with opponents with reaction tiers or fellow True All Taijutsu user's with Muscle Tension if he possesses speeds 1-rank above them, then his kenjutsu can not be read, when fighting normal opponents if he possesses speeds 1-rank below their own and above then his Kenjutsu can not be read. Assuming there was an opponent with both Reaction Tiers and a Dojutsu which slowed down movement speed or a Fellow All Taijutsu Cypher with Muscle Tension & Reaction Tiers then Xan would have to possess speeds 2-rank's above their own for his kenjutsu to be unable to be read. If there ever was an opponent however..that was an All Taijutsu Cypher with Reaction Tiers and a movement slowing Dojutsu..then in addition to Xan finally smiling he would have to move at speeds 3 ranks above their own for his kenjutsu to be unreadable.


Name: Kenjutsu Mastery
Classification: Kenjutsu
Original Rank: C
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: S
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Xan has hailed himself as something of a kenjutsu master, he knows it, those who have fought him or alongside him know it, and Hiro being Xan's apprentice not only knows it but will eventually be it. But what exactly does the title Kenjutsu master ultimately mean, to Hiro it means the ability to chain kenjutsu techniques in one flowing motion without pause and without hesitation like his mentor. This momentum is generated from the moment a kenjutsu strike is launched allowing Hiro to follow up with kenjutsu after kenjutsu to prey on those who attempt to simply outlast a strike. When this is done, the strikes work in tandem to bring down defenses which would otherwise negate them. This combined damage is dealt over and over while stacking like a combination technique to eventually weaken and thus cut through an existing defense or structure. When utilized in combination with Dual Wielding it's power truly shines as Hiro is capable of delivering kenjutsu strikes in a frenzy forcing victims to either keep up their defense until it is eventually sliced through, or loosen it and fall prey to the slash immediately after the last one dealt. Sure enough it has it's drawbacks as to unleash multiple strikes consecutively is tiring in terms of stamina depletion but the gain is well worth the risk.

Name: Dual Wielding
Classification: Kenjutsu
Original Rank: C
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: B
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Two Blade's brought about two different styles of combat and thus new tactics when it came to utilizing Kenjutsu, and such Hiro after watching his mentor began to refine his use of Kenjutsu to incorporate these changes. Now while utilizing his kenjutsu techniques he is able to make use of his kenjutsu striking twice rather than once. The first strike is made with the larger sword while the follow up is made by the shorter one geared at capitalizing on a victim initial response be it block or dodge however when using swords of the same length &/or weight either can be swung first further confusing an opponent. This ensures that he is able to dish out death twice as effectively as before and those who block the first strike but do not keep up their defense a moment later (1 Post Total) will suffer from the damage of the follow up strike.

Name: Denkou Style Kenjutsu: Crimson Slicing Wave
Classification: Kenjutsu/Juinjutsu
Original Rank: B (B-rank NE Price Per Crescent)
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: S
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Contact-Short (Tsuki Radius) Mid (Crescent)

Description: Req. Active Raidengan. Following the philosophy of the Blood Moon Stance, Hiro does a simple crescent-shaped slash at the opponent, expelling a paralytic natural energy wave in the process which covers over 30ft. This crescent wave dealing natural based slicing damage and depending on the Paralysis Curse utilized with it, is capable of paralyzing the victim for a set amount of time. However if the victim is within his Tsuki Radius at the time of the slash then they are hit with the actual blade to get cut before the crescent is then release to cut into the cut and launch the victim back an additional 30ft at crashing ground speeds. The blade dealing B-rank physical slicing damage and fibrillate the victim's muscles resulting in the in ability to utilize tiers with that muscle group for a set amount of time depending on the Fibrillate Curse used however if this slash impacts their chest it causes heart fibrillation which can cause those without at least B-rank Endurance Tiers to experience a heart attack which depending on their age can cause adverse effects.

Name: Batto
Classification: Kenjutsu
Original Rank: B
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: S
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Xan is the originator of the Geka Seido Fighting Style but before he could do so he had to first search for the origins of Iaido, unearthing the ancient Kenjutsu art of Batto. Unrefined Batto is applicable to any sort of Kenjutsu as it is simply the art of drawing a blade to initiate and attack in one fluid motion and to sheathe said blade in such a way that it seems as if the user hasn't unsheathed it at all while flicking any lingering blood away in the process. The speed of the draw is so quick that depending on the spacing it can outspeed incoming kenjutsu techniques to finish drawing to intercept them before they reach the individual. Likewise due to this speed draw it actually requires a Time-Slowing Dojutsu with Reaction Tiers (such as the Raidengan), Iai Prediction/Precognition + Muscle Tension, or reaction tiers above the user's speed to actually see the blade as it's being drawn. To all others they either only see the blade when it is drawn (Time-Slowing, Equal Rank Reaction, Muscle Tension, Iai Prediction/Precognition, Equal Sensory Mediums etc), or are unable to comprehend when the user draws their weapon if lacking some form of sensory.
No of retraining's (New Rank) - Outspeeding Proximity (Speed Outsped) - Rea. Req to See
0 (B) - 3ft (Equal Rank) - B
5 (A) - 4ft (Equal Rank Sam Lvl) - A
10 (S) - 5ft (Equal Rank Tier Chain) - S

Lack of Intent Negated due to Cleo moving at the same speed as Hiro and possessing Reaction Tiers (Requiring him to possess Ripping Discord speeds in order to benefit from it's effect)
Hiroshima requires S-rank+ Reaction Speeds to notice Cleo move due to possessing a Time-Slowing Dojutsu, Muscle Tension = Negated thus Hiro is unable to benefit from it's use when responding to Cleo's kenjutsu while she is using Chokasoku.
Cleo possesses S-rank++ Reaction Tiers & is moving at Blinding Light, however she takes A-rank Recoil Damage to her legs & experiences A-rank Pain as a result of it's enhanced utilization (Cleo is has Pain Resistance so it doesn't affect her performance in battle).
It takes 1 P.T of Cleo moving to etch a transmutation circle on the ground.

Kana-Ryu (B-rank Gelel Price) + Chokasoku: Senka = Displacement Aura deals S-rank Physical Slicing Damage to Hiro's Wrist at Blinding Light Speeds, then discharges in order to hit 2 more times, Senka redirects the discharge to attacking Hiro again with each strike being at most three feet away from each other. Thus her second and third strike deal C-rank Physical Slicing Damage each to his other wrist, for B-rank Physical Slicing Damage in total.

Name: Struggle Gaze: The 5th Struggle
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: S
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cleo was born in the struggle, shaped and molded by it. She learned early on that only those who were perceptive enough to know when to disappear, where to find useful materials, what to look for, who to talk to & why the struggle was so real. This technique was refined overtime, allowing her reaction speed to be honed as she grew up, resulting in this Reaction + Speed Tier Chain. This technique grants Cleo S-rank Reaction++ Tiers, when she is utilizing her eyes to perceive something however when without her impressive sight her reflexes are so honed that she can fulfill a S-rank Reaction+ Tier check with ease. This technique is most useful when attempting to see through concealment techniques whether personal or area concealment as well as reacting to high speeds seeing as one of it's composites is the Cypher specific Reaction Tiers.

Name: Chōkasoku (Signature)
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: A (Recoil & Stamina Price Varies, Optional Pain Price)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Req. Shunshin, Twin Moon Dance & Speed Construction. This movement style was created thanks to Cleo's need to prove herself worthy of the Isley family and as a result of her constant spars with Hiroshima allowing her to glimpse his speed and try her best to emulate it. As a result she managed to mix together the sensual graceful nature of Twin Moon Dance with the rapid acceleration of Shunshin all the while masking the user's movements as she simultaneously uses Speed Construction. In comparison to other movement styles at it's level it is slower, but it makes up for it by unable to be predicted by Muscle Tension while those with Time-Slowing Dojutsu require Reaction Tiers equal to the speed the user is moving to detect her. This style was made to complement the Kana-Ryu style of Kenjutsu and is fatiguing to the body as without either Endurance Tiers or sustaining Pain (Equal to Recoil) the user will consume the normal stamina price in addition to a recoil price 1-rank lower than the speed that they are moving. However it is superior to both of it's components due to it's ability to gradually etch transmutation circles while the user is moving, which if her opponents lack Reaction+ Tiers to detect them do not need to be placed in spoiler tags until triggered. When sustaining pain however due to the increased adrenaline in the user's body they can reach the true speed of this movement style, as like it's composite it can only shine through hardship.
Movement Speed (+Pain) - Recoil Price - P.T Moving Req. to Etch 1 Transmutation Circle
D (Swift Release) - D-rank Recoil -  5
C (Bullet Release) - 3 D-rank Recoil - 4

Name: Chōkasoku: Senka
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact (Varies)

Description: Chōkasoku doesn't only refer to the speed at which one can move but likewise attack and this particular technique was born from such application of movement while simultaneously striking an opponent. In this instance the user moves behind an opponent and in the process hits them twice both front and back however due to the speed of the strike often victims are left wondering how they got hit just once not knowing they have been struck twice. Those without Pain Sensory equal to the speed that the user moved don't even notice the second wound due to them only seeing one and often they will be bleeding out or crippled in one area before either dropping dead from blood loss or noticing it when they want to move said limb. The location of the second strike is often not far from the first albeit being at the back of the body, however with advanced skill the practitioner can extend the distance of the follow up strike from the initial one.

Name: Kana-Ryu
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: B
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Req. Draw)

Description: A hybrid of Iaido and the electricity harnessing style of Return Stroke which involves the utilization of the draw of a sheathed weapon to activate ones displacement aura which strikes out akin to lightning. With Kenjutsu mastery it is possible to fluidly chain both of the techniques of it's composite styles with Kana-Ryu. This kenjutsu style is quite unique simply due to the nuances of Displacement Aura as it isn't visible to normal eye-sight including Weapon Sensory (Unless one has Electrolocation or a Dojutsu capable of reading electric signals) however those capable of detecting it will note that not only does her Displacement Aura seem to strike like lightning but it's path through the air is akin to electricity. It takes aspects from both, with the kenjutsu of this style not only being capable of intercepting hand-seals but likewise the user's Script can be transmitted through their displacement aura modifying their original form for use in or to aid Kenjutsu. Unlike Return Stroke & Iaido however Kana-Ryu has a shorter strike range, being useful for more close combat purposes than it's composites and mixing the speed of Iaido annd harnessing the properties of Return Stroke to make a versatile yet deadly strike. The true power of this style however comes from it's ability to discharge the kenjutsu of this fighting style into opponents akin to electricity repeating the damage albeit at a lower level to multiple opponents. This unique effect is only possible through Gelel Prices which determine the distance at which these slashes are discharged while the user's skill level can determine how many targets can be affected by the discharged slashes at once.
Rank (Discharged Strike hits) - Proximity to Opponent (Hand Seal Interrupted) - Gelel Price (Discharged Slash Dmg)
D (1 Additional Target) - 1ft (Equal) - D (5-ranks Lower)
C (2 Additional Targets) - 2ft (Equal Rank+) - C (4-ranks Lower)

Rank: B-rank (Recoil Price Varies)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Often mistaken as variant of the Shunpo technique though it was actually created before it by Kira Isley, it has long since faded out of use within the Isley Family mainly due to it being severe on the hips. Furthermore the distance that the user can cover is like wise inferior to Shunpo while the speed of the acceleration pales in comparison despite this technique being more difficult to master, however in the hands of a female this techniques true potential can be honed. Using this movement style the user enters a different stance semi-falling towards the ground while running forward using the momentum from falling to rapidly accelerate the speed of a slash and using that as a pull to drag their body forward at high speeds. This causes the user to damage their body, their hips in particular sustaining the brunt of the Physical Recoil Damage equal to one-rank below the speed that they are attempting to reach capping out at 1 A-rank of recoil to move at S-rank speeds (if male) or Blinding Light speeds (if female) for that specific post. Despite the overwhelming cost, it is highly effective in dealing with threats that outspeed the user as in a single moment he/she can match their speed..and finish them.

Description: The ancient Kenjutsu art of Batto in it's refined state differs from it's successor style Iaido due to what is done after the blade is unsheathed. Due to the samurai who created this style being wiped out by the shinobi during the Era of Warring States out of fear only the legendary tales of swordsmen capable of drawing and slicing an opponent in one moment were what was left and thus what was used to create Iaido. Battojutsu is more than that, or more specifically unlike Iaijutsu which allows one to master the art of unsheathing and sheathing one's blade Battojutsu allows one to incorporate multiple cuts after unsheathing. This is stressful on the body to preform quickly fatiguing those who are not skilled enough to refine their muscle memory and have not learned how to control their breathing precise enough to get the most out of each breath. A master of Battojutsu was said to draw their blade once and by the time they sheathed their blade they had already felled a hundred shinobi. Due to the sheer amount of strikes capable with one blow Battojutsu those without Time-Slowing Dojutsu are unable to see the strikes of the Batto practitioners blade. Those with Muscle Tension or Iai Prediction/Precognition etc can determine where the Batto user is aiming however and thus can gauge how to block albeit not being able to actually see the slashes.

Denkou Style Kenjutsu: Crimson Parry retained to A-Rank as such Hiroshima is able to predict S+ movements with his radius. Hiroshima should be successful in parrying all attacks from both Suzume and Karliah.

Hiroshima spends C rank worth of natural energy, thanks to his very high affinity with lightning, to boost his speeds to SS- with Hirenkyaku. Which he then uses to move behind Suzume and then follows up with Crimson Drilling Blade.

Name: Blood Moon Stance (Signature)
Classification: Fighting Style (T.A.T. Denkou Only)
Rank: A-rank
Class: Offensive/Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Self (Req. Twin Hookswords/Chokuto or 1/2 of the Following Wakizashi/Katana/Tanto)

Description: This additional stance is a hybrid of New Moon Blade, Crescent Moon Blade, Juinjutsu Status Effects & finally Batto taught by Xan Ibwa in order to make a Kenjutsu style truly worthy of the Isley name. Being his apprentice and heir to his legacy Hiro was able to combine the two to make improvements of all three taking aspects and forging them into this legendary kenjutsu fighting style which incorporates every aspect of Denkou Style Kenjutsu & Isley Family Kenjutsu in one. In this stance the user wields two blades either of identical or differing lengths &/or builds completely foregoing the use of hand seals to make a Kenjutsu style which is capable of offense, defense & even support. The Blood Moon Stance was made with Hirenkyaku in mind and as a result when preformed correctly it's kata are often not even seen only felt by those unfortunate enough to combat him. It is known thanks to it's spacing, which is referred to was the "Tsuki Radius" which is essentially the radius from the user to the tip of the blade upon being drawn that a victim is capable of being cut if they are within it. This Kenjutsu style is known for it's highly efficient movement interception ability and thanks to it's spacing + the user's Muscle Tension they are able to intercept movement within their "Tsuki Radii". With an active Raidengan (or any of it's advanced variants) however this can be taken one step further allowing the user to predict movement within his "Tsuki Radii" on par with a Precognitive Dojutsu. Finally when used alongside Kenjutsu Mastery this style can chain Kenjutsu from the Twin Moon, Full Moon, New Moon Blade & Crescent Moon Edge fighting styles without pause battering defenses and forcing opponents to constantly keep their defenses up.
The Blood Moon Stance's draw speed is determined by the types of blades being held in each hand resulting in the following:
Draw Type = Effect
*True Twin Hookswords = [Blood Moon Stance Kenjutsu deal Full Damage regardless of length of Blades]
*Proper Katana & Wakizashi = (Kenjutsu unable to be seen by those without Equal-rank Reaction+Speed Tier Chain within "Tsuki Radii" on Katana side, without Equal-rank Reaction Tiers + Muscle Tension within "Tsuki Radii" on Wakizashi side)
*Standard Twin Chokuto = (Kenjutsu unable to be seen by those without Equal-rank Reaction Tiers + Muscle Tension within "Tsuki Radii" on either side) [Blood Moon Stance Kenjutsu deal half as much damage]
*Improper Wakizashi & Tanto = (Kenjutsu unable to be seen by those without Equal-rank Reaction Tiers + Muscle Tension within "Tsuki Radii" on Wakizashi side, without Equal-rank Reaction Tiers+ Time-slowing Dojutsu within "Tsuki Radii" on Tanto side[Blood Moon Stance Kenjutsu deal quarter as much damage]

Description: Req. Active Raidengan. The Tsuki Radius is what determines the effectiveness of the Blood Moon Blade, and is only equal on both sides when wielding twin blades, otherwise it of differing sizes which affects the distance an opponent's movement can be intercepted with them being cut in the process of they continue moving or attempt to flee. This is determined by their height, the length(s) of their blades which establishes the "Tsuki Radus" like so:
Height of Denkou - Blade Length (Tanto/Wakizashi/Katana/Chokuto) - Left Tsuki Radii (In ft) - Right Tsuki Radii (in ft)
3 Feet & Below (1 Foot Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - 5/~5/6/7 - 5/~5/6/7
4 Feet (1.5 Feet Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - ~6/7/~7/~8 - ~6/7/~7/~8
5 Feet (2 Feet Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - 8/~8/9/10 - 8/~8/9/10
6 Feet (2.5 Feet Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - ~9/10/~10/~11 - ~9/10/~10/~11
7 Feet (3 Feet Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - 11/~11/12/13 - 11/~11/12/13
8 Feet (3.5 Feet Arm Length) - 1/1.5/2/3 Feet - ~12/13/~13/~14
Likewise thanks to the active Raidengan (or any of it's advanced variants) & the user not only possessing that but also Reaction Tiers, this advanced perception + Dual Wielding grants the user an unparalleled mastery in regards to kenjutsu based combat allowing the user to not only anticipate the movement within their Tsuki Radius but likewise parry incoming kenjutsu with some user's being skilled enough to parry with one blade while striking with another in the same moment.
No of Retraining - Perception = Prediction & Effect
0 (B) - Muscle Tension + Raidengan = Predicts movement from D-A rank Samurai Level Speed. Can parry equal-rank speed kenjutsu with Katana/Chokuto/Wakizashi to strike with Wakizashi/Chokuto/Tanto within the same moment within "Tsuki Radii"
5 (A) - Muscle Tension + Mashin Raidengan = Predicts movement from C-S Samurai Level Speed. Can parry 1-rank higher speed kenjutsu with Katana/Chokuto/Wakizashi to strike with Wakizashi/Chokuto/Tanto within same moment within "Tsuki Radii".
10 (S) - Muscle Tension + Joukai Raidengan = Predicts movement from B-SS Samurai Level Speed. Can parry 2-rank higher speed kenjutsu with Katana/Chokuto to strike with Wakizashi/Chokuto within same moment or both Wakizashi & Tanto to block within "Tsuki Radii".
10+ (S + Muscle Tension Max Retraining) - Muscle Tension + Kami Raidengan = Predicts movement from A-SS Samurai Level Speed & Tier Chains, can track movement from SSS-rank Samurai Level Speed, SSS-rank Strength + Speed Tier Chain/Flying Thunder God at the cost of straining dojutsu overuse causing blindness. Can parry 3-rank higher speed kenjutsu with Katana to strike with Wakizashi within same moment or both Chokuto/Wakizashi & Chokuto/Tanto to block within "Tsuki Radii".

Range: Mid, Contact-Short (Tsuki Radius)

Description: Req. Active Raidengan. Following the philosophy of the Blood Moon Stance, Hiro draws his blade and activates the tattoo on his right forearm to channel his Natural Energy into it. He then moves towards the target at Vacuum Release Speeds, slashing them upwards into the air 20ft dealing A-rank Natural based Slicing Dmg (Req. A-rank Sam Lvl Strength Tiers to negate knockback) & magnetizing their body thanks to the Magnetize Curse transmitted through the blade in his right hand and then appears above them if they are unable to track his movement using Hirenkyaku, if they can see him he appears to glide around them while rising upward 20ft out speeding them as they hurtle through the air. He strikes while rapidly rotating the blade in his left hand, channeling chakra into the tattoo on his left forearm, to deliver a sharp drilling slash down upon them, impaling the opponent to the ground & dealing A-rank piercing physical based damage. Thanks to the Magnetize Curse the victim is unable to utilize a speed based air movement technique to dodge the follow up, which otherwise would be the only thing saving them from getting impaled by the other blade due to being knocked into the air by the first slash. Depending on the strength of the Magnetize Curse the victim requires a Strength based air movement technique in order to forcibly move themselves out of the magnetic pull to the incoming blade. The drilling blade results in copious blood loss thanks to not only the wound but the Bleed Curse transmitted through the blade in his left hand with victims losing a C-rank amount of blood each P.T + Additional Blood Loss dependent on the Bleed Curse used.

Description: Req. Hoho & Mahō Shinken Gai Kata. This movement style was created thanks to Hiro's Natural Energy reserves gaining the Lightning Affinity thus supercharging not only the way he preformed lightning techniques but imbuing his very body with it. This allowed him to finally perfectly integrate Lack of Intent into his movement style while retaining the fluid graceful unpredictable nature of Hoho. The result is Hirenkyaku where Hiro doesn't so much as run as he does glide across surfaces yet to main the degree of speed with the subtlety is extremely fatiguing on the body as without endurance tiers the user will consume triple the stamina by attempting to use it at all (it's reduced to double even with Endurance Tiers). However it is superior to it's predecessors by virtue of allowing the user when it is in use to equate Samurai Level Speed yet remain unable to be read by those with Muscle Tension/Time-Slowing Dojutsu + Reaction Tiers, however due to the latent electricity coursing through the body the user is still capable of being tracked by electrolocation. However when used with an additional NE Price it can actually out speed Samurai Lvl Speed being on par with Tier Chains. Due to this increase in speed it is even difficult for those with Precognitive Dojutsu to accurately gauge the user's movement as they require Reaction Tiers equal rank to the user's speed (While those with the Raidengan require Muscle Tension) to predict his movements. The movement itself is rather stylish as the gliding to those who can see it simply appears as if he's sliding on a frictionless surface the sheer coolness being capable of seducing those of opposite gender or of the homosexual or bisexual orientation while intimidating those of the same gender who are heterosexual or of the asexual orientation. Finally thanks to the stability of the movement seeing as the center of balance is maintained almost perfectly this technique can be used in place of Samurai Lvl Strength Tiers to negate knockback.

Name: Lack of Intent
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Xan's Kenjutsu is deadly not because he uses Iaido effectively but because he has no wasted movement nor indication that he is going to attack before he does. This is something cultivated through practice to eliminate any sign of muscle tension as well as traces of killing intent and is a specific counter to those who utilize dojutsu which slow down objects as their "prediction" becomes useless when faced with spontaneous movement. This coupled with speed equal to their rank makes Xan's kenjutsu attacks unreadable to their eyes negating the advantages that such dojutsu have over him in physical combat. When dealing with opponents with reaction tiers or fellow True All Taijutsu user's with Muscle Tension if he possesses speeds 1-rank above them, then his kenjutsu can not be read, when fighting normal opponents if he possesses speeds 1-rank below their own and above then his Kenjutsu can not be read. Assuming there was an opponent with both Reaction Tiers and a Dojutsu which slowed down movement speed or a Fellow All Taijutsu Cypher with Muscle Tension & Reaction Tiers then Xan would have to possess speeds 2-rank's above their own for his kenjutsu to be unable to be read. If there ever was an opponent however..that was an All Taijutsu Cypher with Reaction Tiers and a movement slowing Dojutsu..then in addition to Xan finally smiling he would have to move at speeds 3 ranks above their own for his kenjutsu to be unreadable.

Description: This is an advanced natural energy flow technique which the user channels Lightning Magic in order to greatly increase their cutting power through high-frequency vibrations granting defense piercing & Lightning Magic damage equal to a B-rank while the vibrating effect results in a motion blur preventing the user's Kenjutsu from being read by B-rank or below weapon perception techniques such as Iai Prediction. This technique is aimed at allowing said weapons imbued with lightning to maintain that charge for a set amount of time before requiring a fresh natural energy price even when not in contact with the user rather than constantly draining from the user's natural energy reserves which is based on their skill level.

Description: Suzume has hailed herself as something of a kenjutsu master, she forgets it, those who have fought him or alongside him know it, and sometimes despite her old age she can showcase it. But what exactly does the title Kenjutsu master ultimately mean, to Suzume it means the ability to chain kenjutsu techniques in one flowing motion without pause and without hesitation. This momentum is generated from the moment a kenjutsu strike is launched allowing Suzume to follow up with kenjutsu after kenjutsu to prey on those who attempt to simply outlast a strike. When this is done, the strikes work in tandem to force different ways of dealing with strikes due to incorporating different kenjutsu into a single barrage of strikes. This works to allow a flurry to be done like a combination yet at the speed of a normal flurry of simpler strikes but suffers from the weakness of usual multi-hit techniques. When utilized in combination with Battojutsu it's power truly shines as Suzume is capable of utilizing her flurry of strikes in to pin down victims locking them in place (1 P.T) by keep up their defenses, or loosening it and falling prey to the slash immediately after the last one dealt. Sure enough it has it's drawbacks as to unleash multiple strikes in this way is not only tiring but likewise temporarily prevent her from utilizing Battojutsu for a set amount of time (10 Turns) but the gain is well worth the risk.

Current Transmutation Circles Etched into Ground = 3
Full Pain Bringer Light (Standing on an Etched Transmutation Circle) = S++ Speed movement to move past Hiroshima. (S-rank Gelel Price)
If Hiroshima is pinned = He is unable to focus on Cleopatra thus he fails the Time-Slowing Dojutsu + S-rank Reaction Check to detect her movement.

Kana-Ryu (B-rank Gelel Price) + Chokasoku: Senka = Displacement Aura deals S-rank Physical Slicing Damage to Hiro's right sword at Blinding Light Speeds, then discharges in order to hit 2 more times, Senka redirects the discharge to attacking Hiro again with each strike being at most three feet away from each other. Thus her second and third strike deal C-rank Physical Slicing Damage each to his right shoulder and right hip, for B-rank Physical Slicing Damage in total.

Chokasoku: Senka = The Above Strikes are mirrored (if Hiroshima lacks S-rank Pain Sensory he will not notice the second strike), striking his left sword (S), left shoulder (B) & left hip (B). (B-rank Gelel Price)

Description: Req. Chōkasoku + Transmutation Custom: Translocation. This movement style is the culmination of Cleopatra's constant spars with Hiroshima and her perfection of the Transmutation Custom fighting style. As a result she managed to take all the aspects which made Chōkasoku such an effective movement style and streamlining it while finding a way to accelerate her movements even further. In comparison to other movement styles at it's level it is slower only being able to match Samurai Level Speeds, but it makes up for it by unable to be predicted by Muscle Tension while those with Time-Slowing Dojutsu require Reaction Tiers equal to the speed the user is moving to detect her. Furthermore with the introduction of Transmutation Circles not only does this allow for Omni-Directional movement by using them as platforms to interface and accelerate on any surface including air but likewise when utilized to land on top of any of her created Transmutation Circles it can be activated to move the user without any physical movement on her part. This style was made to complement the Dark Moon Stance style of Kenjutsu and is fatiguing to the body as without either Endurance Tiers or sustaining Pain (Equal to Recoil) the user will consume double the usual stamina price in addition to a recoil price 1-rank lower than the speed that they are moving. However it is superior to both of it's components due to it's ability to gradually etch transmutation circles while the user is moving, which if her opponents lack Reaction+ Tiers to detect them do not need to be placed in spoiler tags until triggered. When moving through a combination of speed and a transmutation circle the true speed of this style can be reached, however it comes at the cost of physical movement. This movement style can switch from incurring Recoil and Pain to fully Pain (Equal Rank to movement) though in comparison to normal when the user reaches their max Pain threshold they will succumb to depletion to their Sanity Limit in exchange for continued movement rather than passing out.

Description: Chōkasoku doesn't only refer to the speed at which one can move but likewise attack and this particular technique was born from such application of movement while simultaneously striking an opponent. In this instance the user moves behind an opponent and in the process hits them twice both front and back however due to the speed of the strike often victims are left wondering how they got hit just once not knowing they have been struck twice. Those without Pain Sensory equal to the speed that the user moved don't even notice the second wound due to them only seeing one and often they will be bleeding out or crippled in one area before either dropping dead from blood loss or noticing it when they want to move said limb. The location of the second strike is often not far from the first albeit being at the back of the body, however with advanced skill the practitioner can extend the distance of the follow up strike from the initial one.
