Urahara's mod souls figure out that he has to resheathe his sword after every blast in order to recharge it, and they render him helpless by preventing him from doing so. He's just showing off his iajutsu skills, right? Nope. An arrancar named Patros always sheathes his sword after using it to send out a blast of power. Subverted in Bleach anime Episodes 136-137.Black Clover: Yami's spell Dark Cloaked Iai Slash which has him sheathe his sword while he condenses his Black Moon, then coating his sword in his Dark Magic and drawing it to attack.Many a mook has thought it used to protect his back at best, not seeing how it could be grabbed, drawn (one-handed) and ◊ and swung, in less than a second. Berserk: Guts' Dragonslayer is between six and seven feet long, a foot wide, and he carries it on his back.See also: Quick Draw, Single-Stroke Battle, One-Hit Kill. Users of this trope can often create Sword Beams, or just strike and re-sheathe so fast that it looks like a Sword Beam. That could be justified, however, if the scabbard has some special ability to charge up the sword with energy, or increase the power of the cut by shooting the blade out at high speed. Even sillier is when an Iaijutsu practitioner goes through a battle repeatedly sheathing his sword so that he can use the cut from the scabbard on every single enemy, despite this being a huge waste of effort and dangerously predictable. Rule of Cool kicks in if a swordsman refuses to draw his sword ahead of time in open battle, since the sword can be used more quickly and in a greater number of ways if it’s already drawn. The use of a weaponized draw makes sense as a reaction to a surprise attack, or if a character avoids drawing his sword until the opponent attacks so he can claim self-defense. Another variant dates back to Italian swordmaster Fiore de'i Liberi, who taught swordsmen how to block weapons with a sheathed sword and then dual wield the scabbard and blade for powerful combo attacks. The names Battoujutsu and Iaido are often used interchangeably, although the words have nuances in the Japanese language.Īlthough usually associated with Japanese swordsmanship, there are similar western versions for cavalry sabers. The technique often includes multiple slashes, swiping the blade off, and the subsequent re-sheathing of the blade. Iaijutsu is a catch-all name for several martial art schools which center on drawing and attacking in one move. If you find a person who is good at combining them, then you have an Iaijutsu Practitioner. Slightly less well-known is that the Quick Draw is pretty damn awesome in its own way.
