Iaijutsu Practitioner: Difference between revisions

* Some of Zoro from ''[[One Piece]]'''s most powerful attacks are iaido, such as Shishi Sonson and Rashomon, the latter of which uses [[Up to Eleven|two swords]].

** And later, this is clearly seen in the signature move of Brook, whose sword is so fast, it looks like Brook was just ''[[Rule of Cool|walking past the enemy]]'', before they [[You Are Already Dead|get all cut up when he stops walking]]. While ''humming''. Although it is possible that it was the sword doing the humming just because it was being swung around so fast.

* Subverted in ''[[Bleach]]'' anime episodes 136-137. An arrancar named Patros always sheathes his sword after using it to send out a blast of power. He's just showing off his iajutsu skills, right? Nope. Urahara's mod souls figure out that he has to resheathe his sword after every blast in order to recharge it, and they render him helpless by preventing him from doing so.

** Played straight earlier in the Soul Society arc. Head-Captain Yamamoto prepares to battle Captains Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Juushiro. In this case, it's a battle of who can do this ''first''. Yamamoto wins and unleashes a [[Sword Beam]] which blows them back.
