techniques

I'm sure that you're probably wondering who would write about all of Kenshin's techniques right now. Well, ME!! I find them to be interesting and thought that some others also might. If you see a mistake or something missing, I apologize. Please email me with the correction here.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryu Sou Sen

This Technique involves randomly attacking the vital points at high speed. It doesn't give the enemy a chance to recover from the attack. Very ideal for enemies with great stamina.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryu Tsui Sen

Even the best swordsmen have their vulnerable points when attacked from the air. In this attack, he jumps quickly above the enemy, then rains down upon them with a single, lethal blow.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Sou Ryu Sen

Also known as Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Battou Jutsu, Sou Ryu Sen. This is one of Kenshin's unique moves that maximizes his reversed blade sakaba edge. The sakaba is slower than a regular sword, so the enemy may dodge it. Even if the enemy dodges the sword, the sheath follows up the first attack. It is a hidden Battou Jutsu involving the sheath.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Do Ryu Sen

With God like power, he slashes above the ground. Dirt and stone fly and attack the enemy. It's really handy agianst those out of range enemies or for countering their moves.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryu Sho Sen

A very lethal attack where the sword rises towards the enemy's throat. Their falling weight combines with Kenshin's upper thrust. It delivers more damage then a regular attack would.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryu Kan Sen

This is an attack where the god speed is crucial. Using his speed to get past his enemy's sword, he then strikes that enemy's body in the mid section.

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Kuzu Ryu Sen

No matter what the technique or school of Budo, all attacks focus on one vital point, and even in defense, the focus is still on them. Using the god like speed of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu and attacking all nine vital points exactly at the same moment, the Kuzu Ryu Sen is almost impossible to defend against. It can only be defeated by the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Succession technique, the Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki.
The Kuzu Ryu Sen was only a transition to the succession technique created during the perfection of the Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki.

The nine points that are attacked are:
Karatake (head)
Kegagiri (left shoulder)
Sakagesa (right shoulder)
Hidari Nagi (left arm)
Migi Nagi (right arm)
Hidari Kiriage (left waist)
Migi Kiriage (right waist)
Sakakaza (between legs)
Tsuki (chest)

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki

The Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu succession technique. It is a Battou Jutsu faster than god speed.That is the only way to beat the Kuzu Ryu Sen.One must understand the nature of the Kuzu Ryu Sen to master it. Before Kenshin can inherit the technique, he must find what he is missing and defeat his master's Kuzu Ryu Sen.
