Kengiryu/risu

Risu, literally meaning Fracture, is the first Kengiryu skill,as well as the simplest and most fundamental. The user simply performs a series strikes with one or two swords against a hard target. the purpose, however, is not to cut but instead to shatter the target using the vibrations of the impact. it is very effective against armour and solid substance such as steel. Notably, this technique is made stronger by timing more than strength, as it functions by making the target vibrate at it's resonant frequency. in order to break an unfamiliar substance with this, the user must find the suitable frequency by trial and error.
