Blade: Metsu is a one-handed Katana weapon skill exclusively usable by Ninjas who are wielding one of the three special weapons: the Relic Weapon Kikoku, Kikoku's prior stage the Yoshimitsu (and then only in Dynamis), or the Sekirei. In the case of the Sekirei, 13 other weapon skills must be performed before Blade: Metsu may be performed once. If using the Kikoku or Yoshimitsu, performing the weapon skill gives Aftermath of Subtle Blow +10 as well as Attack +10% if the Kikoku has been fully upgraded.
The actual weapon skill itself has an 80% DEX modifier with TP 5.0 and a chance to inflict Paralysis on the target. Although the animation shows 4 hits and then a violet and black explosion, the weapon skill is treated as only being one hit.
