Line 7:
Rather than express violence with violence, he pauses mid battle (or pre-battle) and meditates. It doesn't have to be a twenty minute session, usually all he needs is five seconds, closed eyes, even breathing, mentioning a [[Survival Mantra]] or [[Koan]] to enter a state of near perfect calm (or murderous [[Tranquil Fury]]), and then [[Let's Get Dangerous|the bad people fall down.]]
 
In video, this usually comes accompanied with a sudden hush of whatever ambient sounds there might be (whether cheering crowds or noisy explosions). You can bet their opponent will be really confused and probably insulted worse than if their honor had been [[Trash Talk|Trash Talked]]ed. Cue a "surprise attack" at this [[Defensive Feint Trap|obviously helpless target]] which will result in a [[Barehanded Blade Block|blocked]] or even [[Attack Reflector|reflected attack]].
 
This is usually used by those with [[Enlightenment Superpowers]] like the [[Warrior Monk]], [[Kung Fu Wizard]], and many [[Psychic Powers|Psychics.]] In [[Video Games]], this may manifest as a form of [[Charged Attack]] which is [[Invulnerable Attack|also invulnerable]].
