The Gentle Blade (柔剣, Jūken), otherwise known as the Gentle Blade Art (柔剣法, Jūkenpō) is an expansion of the Gentle Fist through the use of a blade, and a far more lethal variation of the previous fighting style. Much like the Gentle Fist, the Gentle Blade utilizes unique chakra flow and control to create a needle-like apparition around the medium in question - the blade. However, unlike the Gentle Fist style, the style is only used for lethal strikes. As explained by Kōshū Hyūga, the moment one utilizes an armed, edged weapon alongside the capabilities of the Byakugan, there is no point trying to save one's life. This is because the nature of a bladed weapon both increases the range of the Gentle Fist style, but also causes the targeting of Tenketsu to be redundant. Therefore, Kōshū only utilizes this style - and by extension his katana - during executions and the like, preferring not to cause wanton bloodshed.
Trivia[]
Despite the differing kanji, the romanization for both the Gentle Fist and the Gentle Blade are the same.
