Weave Techniques

## Information

**Weave Techniques** are a type of fundamental ability for certain types of tsukumogami. They are primarily used by the obi tsugumomo Kiriha and Azami with their respective partners.

Several of the techniques have been recently adapted by Takano Tagusari and her chain tsugumomo Sasagure, and Suguru Susuzumi with his sumitsubo tsugumomo Ryuugou.

Characters such as Mimane Miyou and Shinkurou Shishizaki's tsugumomo with the power to copy other abilities have also used such techniques.

## General Techniques

**Obi Jab** (帯突き(おびづき),, *Obi Dzuki*): The obi forms a roll to hit people with. In the video game world the combo for the technique is "→←RP" with a crouched variant being "↘↙RP".

**Obi Throw** (帯落とし,, *Obi Otoshi*): The obi grabs the target and throws them.

**Obi Bind** (おびじめ,, *Obijime*): The obi wraps around the target in an attempt to bind or grab them.

## Spiral Weave

**Spiral Weave** (螺旋綴(らせんつづり),, *Rasen Tsudzuri*): The signature attack of the obi tsugumomo, the weave rolls into a large cone which drills into the target. In the video game world the combo for the ability is "↓↙←↙←RP+LP" and requires the user to build up their super meter in order to use.

* **Eight Fold Blade** (ハ重刃(やえば),, *Yaeba*): The user creates eight spirals layered on top of one another which then unwind with great force.
* **Eight Fold Sakura** (ハ重桜(やえざくら),, *Yaezakura*): The spiral forms a rounder shape with the point in the centre before pushing outward.
* **Eight Fold Strike** (ハ爪(はつそう),, *Hatsu-sō*): The user launches eight simultaneous smaller spiral weaves at the target.
* **Core Excitation Spiral Weave** (大綱励起螺旋綴(たいこうれいきらせんつづり),, *Taikou Reiki Rasen Tsudzuri*): An enhanced version of spiral weave using Internal Spiritual Power Manipulation to strengthen it. Kazuya gathers the spiritual power within his own body and sends it to Kiriha to strengthen her attack. It has been shown to be strong enough to destroy what even Eight Fold Blade could not, without needing to use Ascension.

**Giant Spiral Chain** (大螺旋鉄鎖(だいらせんてつさ),, *Dai Rasen Tetsusa*): Takano Tagusari's variant of the spiral weave technique.
