Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Ogame Ryū (Giant Tortoise Style): A martial arts school that specializes in Battōjutsu (a Japanease term meaning techniques for engaging a sword, where the emphasis is on cutting techniques). The techniques of the Ogame Style are divided into five forms, each based on a different element (Lightning/Thunder, Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth). There are indications that there is a sixth form created by Kashitarou. The name or from which element it is based is currently unknown

- Mizuchi Kata (Form of the Water Dragon God): This form of the Ogame style focuses on deceptive feints and transitions.

  • 1st Mode: Gekirin (Imperial Wrath): A technique where, at the moment of your slash, you quickly switch the positions of your left and right hands, and suddenly alter, the trajectory of your sword. Executed correctly, the change is nigh-instantaneous and if you're caught within it's range, it's very difficult to block.

 

  • 2nd Mode: Tanryuu Hibaku (Rushing Rapids, Cascading Waterfall): A two stage transition technique. A slash-thrust-slash transition, made by the movements of the left hand.

 

  • 3rd Mode: Renkaiten (Ripples that Change the World): A two stage acceleration, born of the right arm and shoulder, that explodes forth from a false movement, and a change in the slash part the happens at the same time as the second acceleration.


- Kagutsuchi Kata (Form of the Fire God): This form of the Ogame style specializes in destructive power and strong attacks.

  • 1st Mode: Hibashira (Pillar of Fire): A whip-like slash that utilizes his weight to increase the attack power of the slash.

 

  • 2nd Mode: Gurensen (Crimson Lotus Swipe): A technique to enhance his cutting ability by placing all his weight in the tip of his sword and then using it in a whip-like slash.


- Dokou Kata (Form of the Earth God): This form of the Ogame style deals primarily with defensive techniques, although they can also be used offensively.

  • 1st Mode: Aragami (Wild God): This is a technique where the user achieves a state of harmony between offense and defense. he starts with a especially high stance and then target and strike down an opponent's weapon. In the instant the weapons clash, the user gives hos sword a sharp twist and adds a sudden burst of speed to its impact.
