Yuragi Dansu Hana

This technique of Momoko's is an overhead slash at an opponent. The technique is a kendo maneuver, in which it requires the user to use two hands when swinging the sword. The stance in which the user enters to use the technique requires the user to place the blade in front of them, held firmly in both hands, waiting for the opponent to strike. As the opponent makes his or her move, the user of this technique will then raise the blade up and back over his or her head, and then bring it down in a slash. The aim of the technique is to cut deeply into an enemy. While the focus of Yuragi Dansu Hana is decidedly lethal, it can also be used, should the user wish to hamper or cripple an enemy rather than kill them, to cut off a limb of weapon-hand. Due to Momoko's personal philosophy of diplomacy and elegance over outright force, her usage of this kenjutsu technique is rare; typically reserved for superior enemies or when she is otherwise forced to execute the maneuver.
