Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Shinobi Transformation: A physical technique that uses the Attribute of Yang, in where the fundamental essence of the shinobi is used as a battle tool by releasing the body's internal spiritual energy in all six chakras simultaneously.
* Frantic Mode: A technique that uses the Attribute of Yin, performed by stripping off one's clothing, resulting in a considerable enhancement in speed and attack power by absorbing blood spilled within the shinobi barrier. However, it is a double-edged sword, as it also incurs a significant penalty to defense.
* Sweeping Legs: Yagyū holds her bladed umbrella up into the air, then proceeds to spin around. Her guardian, the squid forms from atop the umbrella as she starts to rapidly pick up speed. This causes the squid to smack nearby enemies with its tentacles.
* Ice Feet: Yagyū leaps into the air and summons a squid, after making several hand signs. As she descends, the squid sends chunks of ice plummeting down on the enemies in front and below her.
* Tentacle Downpour: While in midair, Yagyū floats about with her bladed umbrella before making a gesture with her hand and generates several knives made of ice. She then swings her bladed umbrella down and causes the knives to rain down on her enemies.
* Demon Slice: Yagyū takes hold of her eye-patch before she removes it, revealing her concealed eye. This eye allows a red, demon-like squid to prod its tentacles through and as they begin to viciously smack her enemies repeatedly.
* Devil's Eye: It's a type of Mystic Eye that allows the user to place all their wishes into a special eyepatch which they use to seal the power contained within the eye.  In Yagyū's case, her eyepatch is made of normal material and her deceased sister's ribbon. Within time her eye behind the eyepatch began to turn her memories of her sister into raw power.
