Sōryūha

(only in movies and anime), also called Dragon Strike in the English dub, is a signature move belonging to Sesshōmaru. Unlike the similarly called Bakuryūha, this technique is out of Sesshōmaru's own power channeled through the sword as he can use it both with the Tōkijin and Tenseiga. Being Tōkijin's most powerful attack and one of Tenseiga's attack that can harm the living, it calls forth a powerful burst of yōki which takes the form of a lightning like discharge. As Sesshōmaru's will grows stronger so does the technique comes to full form, i.e. in the beginning, Sōryūha looked like stokes of lightning, then into a bluish whirlwind similar to Bakuryūha, but as the attack improves it becomes a powerful dragon-like energy wave. This technique is powerful enough to overcome Tessaiga's Bakuryūha even without reaching its full dragon like form while using Tōkijin which is a sword created from the fang of a mere "oni". It was also used in the two PlayStation 2 games Secret of the Cursed Mask and Feudal Combat.
