Shikisha watched as the exploding tag flew toward him. He had originally wanted to bind his opponent in wires, but that was not going to be the case. Pulling down on his left hand, he forced the invisible wire to come down on the tag, slashing it in half. The result was a ruined seal, making an explosion impossible. Shikisha released the wires, allowing them to fall limply to the ground, as he kicked off of the ground. A small cloud of dust formed as he launched himself through the air, aiming directly for Akuma behind the wooden pole. Pulling out his two katanas, he slashed at the base of the wooden pole with the regular katana, destroying it. His Yuuku no Yaiba came down upon Akuma at an even faster pace, its dull light following it in an arch as it slashed through the air.
