[Ken] Bushido - Way of the Samurai

[Kirikoe]

Thanks for training me @Sinthorus

---

Samurai - A group of warriors from the land of iron, they are incapable of using ninjutsu however make up for it with their keen sword skills, they have access to elemental kenjutsu and samurai techniques unique to samurai themselves and use a special technique that allows them to combat ninjutsu effectively called the Samurai Sabre technique, they are able to make use of Iaido, a quick sword drawing technique which is capable of interrupting hand-seals used by others.

All in all Samurai are a force to be reckoned with and excel at kenjutsu, they also have access to utilising Dokkodo techniques without using the mode as well as capable of learning Yang release

Yeah pretty much spot on. Stab nice and fast boyyyy.


( Bushidō: Mugetsu ) - Way of the Samurai : Moonless Sky
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: N/A
Description: This is one of the most basic techniques taught to Samurai of the land of iron but also one of the most useful. The user molds their chakra within their hand(s) and creates up to 2 chakra blades that appear real but in fact, it is intangible and would do no damage when used in an attack. These blades are used mostly for feint attacks but when added with the Samurai Sabre Skill they can become quite deadly.

A simple technique, illusory chakra blades intended for feint attacks however seem to have good synergy with techniques which can use these illusory like blades as a medium, namely the samurai sabre however not necessarily limited to it. whiles I don't think the feint aspect would be majorly effective due to possible metagaming.

Being an illusion and being intangible ain't the same bro. An illusion in the RP is something triggered through messing with someone else's chakra flow to create something they see in their mind. This is actually created it just has no physical form around it.

I know what you meant I just used the wrong word to describe it xD thanks for the clarification though,

Fracture strike - A pressurised crescent blade of chakra that can strike with a strong force which is capable of counter B rank nin and below, which means it contends with ninjutsu at equal strength, the more surprising aspect with this technique is actually its draw back of only being able to be used once every 2 turns which seems excessive for the rank.

This technique also has some decent range.

Iai Beheading Technique - A quick draw technique which turns into a downwards slash, whiles it is considered an Iaido technique it does not receive the benefits of one, a strong enough strike to cause significant damage whiles remaining a chakraless technique, however it does not show anything substantial that makes it worthwhile.

in fact a downside of this technique would be the drawing of the sword itself as it suggests the sword must already be sheathed to use this technique despite it being a basic downwards slash

Use better words then!!!

Fracture strike will work on higher stuff if boosted though soooo...

Yeah you will see a trend in that sense.

Rapture Technique - You release a wave of chakra to cut a target within short range, of course you must use the samurai sabre technique first, a decent tech as it allows for a bit of range up to 5m and there is no distinction in the direction of the cut allowing it some level of flexibility.

Dance Blade Risk - This is your typical anime swordsmen technique where you appear behind your foe and they split in half, of course in RP standards that is unlikely to happen unless your base speed is insane in the first place, as this mentions the quick draw method without its benefits I take that as more to mean that you are not hindered speed wise when drawing your blade, either way its a basic technique and a good one, the lack of chakra makes it especially handy.

Would be nice if this worked like flicker evasion in the process xD

Absolute Inscription - A simple quick flurry around yourself which is capable of attacking multiple opponents or blocking multiple techniques, seems useful overall.

Question - This mentions being able to strike multiple opponents, but does it split the techniques damage like a normal ninjutsu technique would or would it do 60 damage regardless?

Iaido - Art of quickdraw and re-sheathing the sword - A technique where you quickly draw the sword aiming to strike the interval in which the opponent is using hand-seals in order to interrupt and prevent techniques being used, the rank depends on how many hand-seals can use before you interrupt them.

A great technique, very useful against ninja bios and ninjutsu heavy bios, although the new specs make it harder to utilise as it removes the amount of hand-seals people use, making this a very situational technique dependent on the opponent

I believe due to it being the same sword swung with the same power, it would deal 60 damage to each target hit. You're not making each strike weaker, you're constantly swinging with that power.


How fast is Iaido?

How fast is Iaido?

That is good to know, I was under the same impression but thought it best to check,

Iaido - Art of quickdraw and re-sheathing the sword - This technique is as fast as the user and then some, as its function allows one to aim for the interval when hand-seals are being performed, a specialty of this technique, other Iaido techniques branching from this are merely as fast as the user is and is incapable of breaking TF, I would say the benefit of those regular Iaido technique despite moving at your own speed is that you are basically unhindered from a sheathed sword and it takes you no extra time to draw and attack.

Define this "And then some"?

And breaking the TF isn't the right wording.

 

[Kirikoe]

And breaking the TF isn't the right wording.

I used the word "and then some" merely because the technique allows you to hit in an interval that you normally would not be able to even with the same speed when using a different tech, even if that tech has Iaido in its name,

What would the right wording be for this technique, being able to strike before a persons first move, or do we not technically break TF due to hand-seals being considered an offensive action and a Samurai/Ronins Iaido being the only thing capable of responding to that?

Breaking the time frame would mean you cast it to the wind and ignore it completely. This doesn't break the time frame. The opponent will go to act by performing handseals for a jutsu. You use Iaido to cut through the handseals for that technique. This only happens if you're within range and fast enough to do so. It doesn't act before the opponent's first offensive technique which is the timeframe, it seeks to prevent it from concluding. It's pointless if someone has the HS spec etc. But you don't break the time frame, you prevent it from unfolding in the way intended. It's a case of me wanting to clarify a situation and wording tbh.

Not a problem, I completely understand this point that also why I wanted to make sure I understood this aspect

A fairly basic technique, while focusing chakra into the sword while still sheathed, the user performs a Battōjutsu strike, this unleashes a powerful shockwave that becomes a massive tornado surrounding themselves in short range repelling everything in the area.

This is very simply and self explanatory, I am guessing the shockwave pressure rivals elemental techniques on an equal front similar to Leaf dragon god?

What do you think? Make a statement with reasoning.

 

[Kirikoe]

What do you think? Make a statement with reasoning.

Honestly Speaking, I would expect this to counter elemental ninjutsu at an equal level similar to leaf dragon god, we have already seen air pressure generated by momentum and force throughout the series LDG being one, and they have always shown to combat ninjutsu as a whole on an equal level, this is further supported by the use of EIG air pressure techniques.

You'd be right. I just want to make sure you're stopping to evaluate things based on precedents.

Up next the mode for the samurai:


( Bushidō ) - Way of the Samurai
Type: Mode
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage: +30 to Kenjutsu and Taijutsu
Description: Samurai quickly learned that Ninjutsu would be a very dangerous weapon, and an incredibly difficult one to combat. But, they soon developed a countermeasure that helped them combat the ever-growing amount of Ninjutsu users: infusing their armor with their own chakra. By releasing their chakra into their armor, Samurai infuse their armor with special properties, protecting against energy based attacks up to 10 damage, and physical jutsu of 20 damage and lower. This works by creating an invisible overshield of chakra around the Samurai’s body, using their chakra to augment their armor to help protect them. Due to the spiritual nature of this technique, harmonizing the Samurai’s life energies with their armor, and bringing the user’s Bushidō to the forefront of their mind, preventing Genjutsu of up to A rank from targeting them. This increase of chakra also augments their physical prowess, tripling their speed and granting a large increase to Kenjutsu and Samurai jutsu. However, upon ending, the Samurai is unable to use Iado and S rank and higher Samurai jutsu that turn and next due to fatigue as well as only two jutsu the turn it ends.
Note: This jutsu lasts 5 turns each use and is capable of being used 3 times.
Note: Only usable by Samurai bios. No summonings can use it, even if they can use other Samurai techniques.
