This is a list of techniques used by Kanata in the Mugen Ittouryu (Dream-Illusion One-Sword Style). It’s perfectly fine if you don’t read it.

This is a list of techniques used by Kanata in the Mugen Ittouryu. Since I came up with them casually, there might be changes or additions in the future.
**First Sword: Hiragumo (Flat Spider)**
A shin sweep performed by ducking to evade an opponent’s mid-level attack.
**Break Form: Tsuchigumo (Earth Spider)**
A sliding kick delivered while crouching.
**Break Form: Tsuchigumo – Ten (Earth Spider – Roll)**
A technique where the opponent’s leg is trapped after the sliding kick and they are brought down.
**Second Sword: Yousougeki (Eagle Claw Strike)**
Commonly known as a helmet-splitting strike.
**Break Form: Hishou Yousougeki (Soaring Eagle Claw Strike)**
A Yousougeki delivered from a leap in the air.
**Third Sword: Souga (Twin Fangs)**
Using a drawn tanto to block an opponent’s attack while striking with the sword.
**Break Form: Kuuga (Sky Fang)**
Similar in blocking with the tanto, but the sword is then thrown.
**Break Form: Souga Soublegefci (Twin Fangs Twin Strike)**
A slashing technique where both blades are used simultaneously.
**Fourth Sword: Kouryuu (Biting Dragon)**
What is commonly known as iaijutsu is called this in Mugen Ittouryu.
**Break Form: Jougaryuu (Staff Fang Dragon)**
Iaijutsu using the sword’s scabbard as a staff. It was active during the fight with Shion.
**Break Form: Souryuu (Azure Dragon)**
An aerial iaijutsu performed after a leap.
**Fifth Sword: Kitsutsuki (Woodpecker)**
A counterattack following a strike with the pommel of the sword.
**Sixth Sword: Mozukagura (Shrike Kagura)**
A flurry of thrusting attacks delivered like a dance.
**Break Form: Hayanie (Quick Sacrifice)**
A thrust delivered with a reverse-grip sword or tanto, piercing through the opponent’s collarbone to destroy the heart.
**Break Form: Sakamozu (Reverse Shrike)**
An anti-air thrust delivered against a jumping opponent.
**Seventh Sword: Rouga (Wolf Fang)**
A torso sweep performed from the shifting Mugen stance.
**Break Form: Rouga – Ugachi (Wolf Fang – Piercing)**
A thrust disguised as a sweep.
**Eighth Sword: Tenrou (Heavenly Wolf)**
The technique originates from Kouryuu. A continuous combo transitioning from an iaijutsu sweep to a thrust. The key lies in preventing the opponent from evading left or right. If the opponent retreats, pursue with a thrust; if they jump, follow up with Sakamozu. If the initial sweep is blocked, the technique fails, so Kouryuu must be mastered to an extremely high level.
**Ninth Sword: Mugenjin (Dream-Illusion Blade)**
An ultimate technique that chains Kouryuu to Hiragumo and, depending on the situation, repeats combinations of techniques up to the Eighth Sword. Naturally, mastery of all eight swords is required to use it.
**Final Sword: Mugenjin – Shuuen (Dream-Illusion Blade – End)**
The ultimate secret technique of Mugen Ittouryu, attainable only by those who have mastered all nine swords and possess the Wolf Eye.
