Sōryūha

is the signature move of Sesshōmaru's Tōkijin and Tenseiga. A powerful burst of yōki is released and takes the form of a dragon. It draws its energy directly from Sesshōmaru, and varies in strength. It is even capable of overcoming the Tessaiga's Bakuryūha.

Towa Higurashi was able to use this move by enhancing her own demonic energy from the silver Rainbow Pearl to form an energy blade on a Replica of Kikujūmonji after it had broken. By harnessing her full demonic powers to their highest, she also able to unleash both dragon waves after witnessing the death of Setsuna by the hands of Lord Kirinmaru. The Beast King named it.
