Chapter 176: "Drizzle"
Not only the audience, but also the commentators were stunned. The next moment, Iwai and Ito both broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, as a commentary on competitive kendo, it is relatively easy.
Because kendo competitions basically end quickly, the end time is basically a few seconds. It's rare to have more than that.
Of course, the two sides played for a long time, and it didn't hurt. But if they can't even see the trajectory of the attack as a commentary, how can they explain it?
And when they were nervous, the two of them were also extremely shocked in their hearts.
The victory or defeat of kendo itself is instantaneous, so the player's attack speed in an instant is not visible to the naked eye. But... It was only for a moment.
Except for the video of Kazuki Kimura in Akihabara Square, it is basically impossible to see a sword swing speed like Itose's high intensity.
At this time, the three referees were standing in the field, and they were also under a lot of pressure. There was a thumping sound in my ears, which meant that all of Ito's attacks had been resisted by Kazuki Kimura. That... What if Ito's offensive stops? Did the other side win?
Without seeing the trajectory of the attack, it is impossible for them to give a verdict.
It seems that the time will have to call up the video...
Kazuki Kimura was a little surprised. This is because the swordsmanship that Itosei is using now is the "rainstorm style" of Yagyu Flying Sword Flow. In terms of speed, Japanese historical kendo ... Yanagi Flying Sword Flow's swordsmanship speed can rank in the top three.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ito Sei had learned.
Thinking about it, Kimura and Shu blocked the bamboo knife in their hands, and then followed Ito's attack, and the two bamboo knives actually stuck together.
"Drizzle" is different from "rainstorm" in that it is a sticky word.
No matter what the opponent's attack is, as long as the "drizzle" is used, you can't escape the consequences of being sticky. "Drizzle" is the most "rainstorm".
"Rainstorm style" focuses on the extreme speed, causing dozens of sword swing strikes, like a real rainstorm, which will never stop.
The moment Kimura and Kiki fought back, Ito felt his hands sink....The "drizzle" stuck to him, making him feel like his breathing was starting to feel heavy, as if every piece of air was putting pressure on him. And as time goes on, this pressure grows.
The speed of swinging the sword in his hand slowed down instantly......
"It seems that Itosei will not be able to sustain such a high-intensity blow ... However, I didn't expect Minister Kimura to block all of Ito's offensive, which is really amazing. ”
Iwai Commentary was relieved to see this scene.
"That move from Ito Sei just now looks a bit similar to Minister Kimura's previous swordsmanship in Akihabara Square..."
"You're talking about 'rainstorm-style'. This move, Yagyu Kendo Hall has been taught..."Hearing this, Ito spoke directly, and then thought of something, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm not advertising... Yagyu Kendokan has launched a Twitter post and posted a video of Minister Kimura's explanation of the "rainstorm style". ”
"Oh? Minister Kimura actually spread the "rainstorm" to the public? Iwai opened his mouth in surprise.
According to Minister Kimura in the video, the "Rainstorm Style" is the basic move of Yagyu Flying Sword Flow. and "drizzle" and "concussion" are collectively known as the three foundations of Yanagi Flying Sword Flow... And only by mastering these three foundations can you learn the core swordsmanship of Yanagi Flying Sword Flow. ”
"This..."Iwai couldn't help but be shocked, "'Rainstorm style' is just basic swordsmanship? ”
"Yes! This is what Minister Kimura said in the video. Ito looked at the arena and said firmly, "And I've watched all the videos." If I'm not mistaken, the current Minister Kimura should be using the "drizzle style". ”
According to Minister Kimura, the "drizzle style" is mainly sticky, and the pressure of the whole body and even the air is applied to the opponent. So we can see that Itose's movements are sluggish and his swing speed is getting slower and slower. Ito was glad that he had followed Kazuki Kimura before, so he watched the video on Twitter, and he said eloquently, "But the "drizzle" has a drawback, that is, the bamboo knife in his hand must stick to the opponent in order to put that pressure over. ”
"It seems... This "drizzle" is very powerful. "After all, he is a professional kendo player, and Iwai's explanation is a little clear," as long as this "drizzle style" is successful, then the initiative is in the hands of Minister Kimura. Ito can only passively resist pressure, and if Minister Kimura wants to fight back, he only needs to grab his bamboo knife the moment he leaves the opponent's bamboo knife and perform a special kill. ”
"That's right!" Commentary Ito agreed.
However, what the two didn't expect was that as time went on, Kazuki Kimura moved the bamboo knife out of the way and did not fight back.
When Kimura and Shu's bamboo knife separated, Itose's hands trembled slightly... He held the bamboo knife tightly and did not take it off, and before he could relax, he heard Kimura and Tree speak.
"Use other swordsmanship, Yanagi Fei's sword flow swordsmanship won't work for me."
The reason why Kazuki Kimura stalled for time was not only to show the audience the power of Yanagi's flying sword flow, but also to see the swordsmanship performed by Itose.
Because the other party's swordsmanship is copied. Before, he thought that the other party copied roughly, but the other party was able to change the confluence of Jingshan Qi and completely display the "rainstorm style", which surprised him.
So, at this moment, he was eager to see other swordsmanship.
"Bastard."
Ito was a little out of breath at this time, and he was physically tired from the pressure of the "drizzle".
Call... Call... Call...
The air is drawn to the air one after another. In less than five seconds, Ito was refreshed.
Seeing this, Kazuki Kimura was a little surprised, "This is..."
"Momoi's breathing method can relieve physical fatigue, but it has drawbacks." Ito Sei was holding the bamboo knife in both hands, and at this moment he did not act rashly, but squinted his eyes and said softly, "Do you know the swallow? ”
Kazuki Kimura did not respond, but revealed confusion and did not understand the meaning of the other party's question.
"The swallow's ability to withstand the wind and dodge the blade has nothing to do with whether it is fast or slow. No matter what kind of knife it is, there is no way to swing it without vibrating the air. Ito's feet moved slightly, and his mouth didn't stop," and the swallows felt the vibrations and changed the direction of their flight. Therefore, no matter what kind of blow you have, you can't cut off the swallow. The knife is nothing more than a line. So, it makes sense that you can't catch swallows coming and going in the air. ”
"Some swordsmen think it's good to just surround the swallow's retreat. One knife attacks the swallow, and the other blocks the retreat of the swallow that is dodging with the power of the wind. If you want to succeed, you have to do it in an instant, almost at the same time, and if it's all at the same time, both slashes will be too slow anyway. For this reason, there should also be a third knife that blocks the side retreat. Ito slashed at Kazuki Kimura, and after being blocked, he said again, "It's a pity... The bamboo knife in the kendo competition is too short, and only a long knife can block the way of the swallow... And swinging three knives at the same time is too much load on the body, plus long knives, I'm not good at it! So, I came up with this trick. ”
As soon as the words fell, the aura in Ito's body surged, and his eyes under the mask burst out with a dazzling light.
"This move is the swordsmanship I pioneered when I competed in Asahi and watched the strict kendo of the Sasaki family."
"I call it..."
"Secret technique! Yan Hui - Knife Drawing Technique! ”
