Back to Fighting Styles
			The name of Shishio's sword technique is still a mystery to all of us, but I guess we'll call it "Fire Sword."  Anyway, this style is very deadly, not just because of the sword itself, causing flames, but the actual user who uses it.  It gives the user a great advantage, having fire and hidden techniques.  How did the sword inherit fire, you ask?  Well it's cruel and disgusting.  Shishio basically puts his sword into dead people's bodies, getting their fat, and then that oil, rubbed with friction gets fire.  He killed so many people and got their fat, that he can summon fire from his sword at will.

			The Attacks: Secret Sword 1/Homura Doma/"Fire Spirit":  Basically fire coming out of the sword while the user slashes.  It is unknown how he is able to make it happen until Kenshin found out.  He found that friction alone was not able to cause fire, but also that of dead people's fat oil. Secret Sword 2/Guren Kaina/"Red Lotus Wrist":  Shishio's gauntlet is the key to this attack.  The gauntlet itself is filled with gunpowder, therefore when he uses his fire with his sword to attack, the gauntlet will explode, hurting the opponent tremendously.  The only problem with this is that the user has to be close and careful not to hurt himself. Secret Sword 3/Kaiguzuchi/"Fire Produced Spirit God":  His most powerful and final "secret sword" series attack.  It was so hidden that not even Yumi,(Shishio's love), did not have knowledge of it.  Anyway, it's fire twirling around the sword like a tornado.  However, we never got to see it in full action because Kenshin beat it with his Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki  >.<
