«Tsujikaze» (辻風(ツジカゼ), Tsujikaze?, literally "Whirlwind") is a 1-hit Katana category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.

Description

«Tsujikaze» is a straight, long-ranged, Iai-type skill. After a short period of "charging", the user executes a diagonal slash from bottom-left to top-right at such a speed that it is impossible for the human eye to keep track of the sword.[1]

The skill is activated by lowering a katana-type weapon to the user's left hip. The skill takes some time before it activates, which is the only time that the opponent has to prepare a counter-attack, as the skill is too fast once it initiates.[1]
