A move possessed by some samurai-type characters. The samurai puts away his sword, looking deceptively vulnerable. When the hapless opponent moves in for the kill, the samurai whips out his katana with lightning speed, slicing his assailant to ribbons. This move was pioneered by the revolutionary game
Bushido Blade, but some other fighting games have re-implemented it since. The name comes from the CCG
Legend of the Five Rings, where a card by this name initiated a duel between two samurai.
