Musou no Hitotachi

The Musou no Hitotachi (Japanese: , also written as following the events of Chapter II) is an extremely powerful and legendary sword technique performed by the Electro Archon, the Raiden Shogun, specifically Ei and the Shogun.
==Overview==
When Ei uses the Musou no Hitotachi, she dashes behind her target and slices through a point in space with the Musou Isshin, briefly freezing time. The target will be marked with the Electro symbol before being surrounded by six lightning bolts before time is unfrozen. Those lightning bolts then all simultaneously slash the target before engulfing them in a beam of lightning, killing them instantly.
When Ei used Musou no Hitotachi on Orobashi and Akuou during the Watatsumi Island insurrection, the resulting slash split Yashiori Island in half and created Musoujin Gorge. The Shogun also used this technique to punish those who lose a duel before the throne, with two known victims being Kazuha's friend and Signora.
The people of Inazuma revere the Musou no Hitotachi almost as much as the Raiden Shogun herself, as they believe no one can defend against it. As a result, it has become a symbol of the Raiden Shogun's power to protect Inazuma from all threats; Kujou Takayuki's hubris in his dealings with the Fatui stemmed from his overconfidence in the Musou no Hitotachi's power. The Traveler managed to escape death from Musou no Hitotachi twice: the first attempt was interrupted by Thoma, who distracted the Shogun by throwing a spear at her, while Kaedehara Kazuha managed to block the Shogun's second attempt with the power of both his own Vision and his deceased friend's reawakened Electro Vision.

==Trivia==
* After inheriting the Musou Isshin from Makoto, the previous Electro Archon, Ei and the Shogun use it to perform Musou no Hitotachi. Musou Isshin's is a different Musou from the one in Musou no Hitotachi, which uses , a state where one is free from all thoughts and desires.
** In Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu's effect description, Musou no Hitotachi's Musou is written with instead of in the Japanese version. The distinction is lost in the English description, although this wordplay is alluded to in the Talent's English flavor text.
* While powerful enough to strike down even Gods, it should be noted that the Musou no Hitotachi does not appear to be powered by Ei's Gnosis. The strike that slew La Signora (who had been granted god-like executive power by the Tsaritsa) was dealt 500 years after she handed her Gnosis to Yae Miko after not being able to create a puppet to carry it for her. Similarly, the strike that slew Orobashi occurred prior to the cataclysm, when Ei was still the kagemusha of Makoto, the previous Electro Archon and also her older twin sister.
