==Description==
"A gum weapon good for dispersing foes. Has the ninja-like ability to dig underground and emerge to surprise your foes." -In-game description
Drill Beast is a fast weapon, offering fluid and multi-hit attacks. Appearance-wise Drill Beast looks like a swordfish toy gun with a big blue drill at the front. It has a fin on its head. The eye is a Phillips screw and a mouth with saw teeth is painted on it. The drill has three layers and the hilt is wrapped with a blue bandage.

===Here and There===
"Dive underground and attack when you emerge." - In-game description
File:Special Here and There Screenshot 1.jpg|Use the dive-in to attack and to go underground.

Here and There is the default Special of the Katana Type B subclass. After activating the Special the user dives into the underground. There, they can freely move around with an increased movement speed for a certain amount of time visualized by a meter. Pressing the attack button or the Special button again allows the player to shoot out of the ground towards the target. If the jump button is pressed instead, the shooting out part can be canceled allowing a mixup in battle. 
If the Special button is pressed while airborne it can be utilized as another attack. Hitting an opponent with such a dive attack results into spin stun which is a longer hit stun creating a long frame window to attack in various ways. For example, the player can cancel the shooting out part by jumping and can prepare a Gum Shoot to secure a followup IPPON. Not only is the user at highspeed underground but also while diving. 
The shooting out part happens quickly as well, so the whole Special speeds up the gameplay of Katana Type B weapons. The hit range of the attack is pretty small, rather punctured and should not contest with other attacks. So its the pure speed that should be taken advantage of.

===Shinobuzz Attack===
"Charge towards an opponent that is far away to attack." - In-game description
Shinobuzz Attack is the Alter Special of the Katana Type B subclass. When activating the user quickly drills towards the selected target and deals a lot of damage. It is a multi-hit attack whose hits can be further extended by holding the Special button. In total Shinobuzz Attack consists of 8 hits plus an extra hit. The attack ignores S-Burst and therefore can be well integrated into combos. It can also be canceled halfway through by jumping or dodging to mixup with other attacks such as a Gum Shoot to get a bind combo.
Shinobuzz Attack makes its user invulnerable to projectiles attacks and Gum Shoots serving a great opener for closing the distance to opponents and to get into a fight. Users have to be carefull with long ranged attacks or attacks with a big hit range as the Specials hit range is short. Its highspeed can be usefull here in order to hit opponents before they are even able to use such a counterattack. Attacks with properties such as Super Armor or invicibility also are a high threat.
Special 	State 	Base Damage 	Down Value 	Hit Reaction	Properties
Shinobuzz Attack	Attack 	112 (= 14 * 8 hits)	8% (= 1% * 8 hits)	flinch 	multi-hit, hold Special to extend, projectile immunity, not S-Burst-able, cancelable
Shinobuzz Attack	Extra Hit	50 	10% 	blowback 	-
