Akuki
Demon Eyes Kyo: Scans will be coming tommorow.
Bloodline abilities: Kyo is the last of a clan of Demons known as the Mibu clan who possess supernatural abilities. Kyo possesses superhuman stength, endurance, and speed and when his powers are fully activated his eyes become blood red and he takes on a demonlike appearance. He has also demonstrated superhuman healing abilities as well in his true body.


Powers: Demon Eyes Kyo's sword style is the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken (The Sword of a Devilish Wind), which was taught to him by Muramasa, his master and the man who made Kyo's sword. It teaches standard fencing skills and defense, but they are far more powerful than any of the skills of other sword styles. It is the most powerful sword school in the Mibu Clan. Attacks are:
Mizuchi: An attack that uses the air to cut an opponent to pieces; a sub attack of Seiryu.
Quote: The god murdering sword technique "Mizuchi". Finishing Quote: You heard it too didn't you?... The voice of the wind.
Shin: An attack that creates an illusion of an opponent's worst nightmare, then kills him; an abbreviation of Shinkirou which means "Illusion".
Finishing Quote: You saw it too didn't you?... The Red Mirage.

Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Ougi
Mumyou Jinpu Ryu Ougi are the advanced techniques in the Mumyou Jinpu Ryu. The techniques are based on the Shishin, and each has its unique way of dealing damage to enemies. Note that these are different from Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken, for they are more special and are a lot stronger. The attacks are:
Suzaku: A technique that embodies the legendary red phoenix. Its speed is incredible, as is the power of its flames, and like the legend of the phoenix, can revive itself from its own destruction. When Kyo temporarily returned to his true body while fighting Oda Nobunaga (who was on Nozumo's body), he was able to summon Suzaku in its true form; its features were more elaborate and defined, and the destructive power of its flames was also increased, so much that it overwhelmed not only Nobunaga's Tenma Shiryou Ranma technique, but also the regenerative abilities provided by Nozumo's body.
Finishing Quote: Can you feel the immortality of this phoenix soul?
Byakko: A white tiger that tears an opponent apart with its claws. A superior technique to Suzaku; as a result, the difficulty of execution and the subsequent stress on Kyo are also greater. If the first "claw" misses, the opponent is dragged in by its other "claw" and ripped apart by its "fangs".
Finishing Quote: Can you feel the claw of the white tiger?
Genbu: A black tortoise entwined with serpents; is both an offensive and defensive technique. Genbu's shell protects Kyo from an opponent's attack, while the serpents bind and destroy the opponent. It is capable of blocking any attack, barring the Kouryu.
Finishing Quote: You've been captured by the hand of Genbu
Seiryu: More than a dozen Mizuchi are projected toward an opponent and surround him, eventually merging to create an immobilizing and destructive whirlwind that pulls the opponent into the heavens where the waiting Kyo (in the form of the legendary blue dragon) descends to deliver the final blow.
Finishing Quote: Can you feel the anger of Dragon King?
Shishin Douji Hatsudou (Four Gods Simultaneous Attack): As the name implies, the Four Gods are summoned simultaneously to attack the enemy. Although powerful in its own right, its merely a precursor to something even greater...
Kouryu/: When all of the Four Gods are summoned to attack the opponent simultaneously, this action brings forth the final and most powerful beast god. While Kyo was in Kyoshiro's body, it often took the form a huge, golden, focused blast of wind of seemingly limitless destructive power, descending from the heavens to strike at the enemy. When Kyo returned to his original and more powerful body, he was able to summon the golden wind in its true form, the heavenly dragon Kouryu. Finally, when Kyo evolved into the True Crimson King, his increased power gave him the ability to summon three Kouryu simultaneously, much like the Former Crimson King. In addition, the initial summoning of the Four Gods allows the wielder to use their abilities in conjunction with Kouryu for greater results.

Speed and Special Skills
Kyo's speed is also unmatchable. In the early volumes, he was shown to be fast enough to easily cut musket balls in mid-air and kill the gunmen in a second. Although he is a samurai (which usually forbids attacking from behind because it is dishonorable), he has no trouble using his speed to appear behind his opponent and attack. In later volumes, warriors who could move past bullet timing couldn't even touch Kyo.
It is unclear how Kyo, and the other swordsmen like him, in the series are able to sense others. However, it has said that something was mentioned in the manga about a sense of awareness technique called "Maai" is?which is the space between oneself and the opponent according to Japanese Martial arts). What it translates to in English remains unknown, but this technique forms a field that the samurai generates him/her-self through the use of their chi. If anyone enters it, they will know when and from where they come from. It can be said that in some ways, its almost like they're standing in a pool of water, or a spider's web. The moment when someone steps in, or on, it; they're alerted due to the vibrations. Only other master warrior samurai and newborn children, can enter it without being noticed.

Weapon:
Kyo's weapon is a Muramasa called Tenro, which translates to "Sky Wolf". Tenro is one of the Four Great Demon Blades that the swordsmith Muramasa forged. Its curve and cut are things of beauty. It is approximately five shaku (equivalent to five feet) long and it cannot be broken, cracked, bent, or dulled. It has no problem cutting through steel weapons or solid iron. Basically, it is an indestructible nodachi that only Kyo can wield. It seems to have a mind of its own, and chooses the one who wields it. Apparently, it chose Kyo and seems to enjoy working with him. The only other who has been seen to wield Tenro is Muramasa, Kyo's master. Inside Tenrou is the spirit of the First Aka no Ou, Kyo's direct ancestor.

General Kyo feats:
While in demon form in kyoshiro's body(note that he is far weaker when in that body) he is able to resist a petrification gaze attack by sheer willpower.

Kyo takes a very powerful enchanted sword to his shulder and blocks it with his hand while showing no effects from it.

Simply the clashing of swords has a great destructive effect.

Example of kyo's speed, note that this a later opponent who is highly porificient in sword fighting, and Kyo's first opponent in the series was able to catch bullets in his teeth, so this speed is far far above that.

I didn't really care for the series. It was boring. And the artwork is a travesty. There are better samurai/swordsplay series.

Good for you, you're entitled to your opinion, however this is just a respect thread, not a discussion thread so please don't spam it up.

You're probably talking about the anime. The anime was horrible but the manga was great.
