This is the only technique style in all of Rurouni Kenshin to surpass Himura's in almost every form. In reality, this fighting style, or rather..the man who uses it is probably the strongest swordsman in all of Rurouni Kenshin. Enishi is the best, even revealed so in the manga. The only reason why Enishi lost the fight, was not in pure sword-fight..But with his ear..and a VERY loud annoying sound..-Read manga for more detail-
"Battousai! Cast aside the blade of virtue you call the Sakabatou and FIGHT ME!"
Watou-jutsu, which is translated literally into ' ancient japanese sword skill ', is not an actual kenjutsu style. it's actually a combination of kenjutsu with chinese sword fighting. it mixes the speed and slashing style of a kenjutsu form with the strength and flexibility of a typical chinese sword art.
Shikkuu tou sei; done when airborne, the tachi is held behind enishi and then swung in a powerful, overhand arc with one hand pointed towards his adversary. This technique defeated Himura's Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu..Ryu Tsui Sen..This is the technique that brought Enishi mastery of the air.
Shuugeki tou sei; the technique begins with the tachi positioned so that the tip is pointed at the ground. afterwards the weapon is swung upwards, followed by a powerful kick to the reverse side of the blade. the kick itself serves to greatly amplify the force and speed behind what would be an a relatively slow and moderately powered swing.
Kaishi tou sei; a counter technique that begins with enishi hammering the bottom of his tachi's hilt against the blade of his opponent's sword to stop an oncoming attack, and then pivoting on one foot and sending a swift thrust to the chest of his adversary.
Shou ha tou sei; this technique is similar to the shuugeki tou sei in the manner that an extra hit is used to increase the power behind the strike. enishi starts the technique by bringing the blade over his head while bringing his left hand up, then he smacks his left hand against the blunt edge of the blade, proceeding to bring the blade forward once more in an almost whip-like manner.
Chou ten tou sei; an anti-air technique used as a follow-up in the event that the shou ha tousei misses. The chou ten tou sei begins with the tachi stuck in the ground, afterwards enishi uses the bottom of the hilt as a stepping stone, and then leaps to the air while pulling the tachi itself from the ground by the cord attached to the hilt. enishi then drags his weapon upwards using the cord, while using his other hand against the guard or tsuba of his weapon, forcing the flat of the blade into his opponent's stomach.
Gou tsui tou sei; this technique begins as a powerful thrust at an opponent's midsection or chest. when the stab connects, the blade is held vertically while the person remains on it, then swung forward to throw them forcefully from the blade.
Sen ran tou sei; this technique begins with enishi poised in a crouch with his left leg bent inward, right leg extended, and both arms drawn, tachi held upward at a diagonal angle. the skill itself is initiated by enishi spinning around repeatedly on his left foot to gain momentum for his attack;and, afterwards he begins to spin around towards his opponent, blade extended, with a destructive force similar to a tornado. This technique was used to counter against Himura Kenshin's Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu..Ryu Kan Sen..The spinning attack quality of the Sen Ran Tou Sei is greater then Himura's..
Kyokeimyaku (Nerves of Insanity)- It's not really a technique, but when angered enough, Enishi can cause his senses become heightened and more acute.
Zetsugi (zetsu = ultimate/unparalleled // gi = skill/attack ) - the equivalent to the hiten mitsurugi's ougi techniques. Or Kofuku Zettousei/ Zetsu Tou Sei- this is enishi's strongest attack, which begins with him holding his tachi with the hilt facing down with the blunt end of the blade held parallel to the back of his arm. afterwards he sinks into a stance similar to that of the sen ran tou sei, similar to that of a tiger poised and ready for an attack. instead of spinning like the sen ran tou sei, the attack itself is an extremely swift lunge, upon which enishi rises and brings his tachi fiercely along his opponent's upper body.
