  1. “Kyotoryu – Tampopo.”
  2. Before any sound could leave his lips, Nanami’s spear hand pierced his beating heart. In a single instantaneous motion, coming without warning – she’d drawn in the hand gripping his ninja garb to facilitate her spear hand’s rending encounter with the left side of his chest.
  3. She could do without a wind-up or any other prefatory movements.
  4. She was freeform, this was Form Zero – the Ichijiku.
  5. The two of them fell together to the ground.
  6. Harlequin Butterfly thusly interrupted, they made a violent landing. The impact made Nanami wince –
  7. "N-No way..."
  8. Hacking up phlegmatic blood, Chocho regarded Nanami with utter disbelief.
  9. Shocked at her ability to emulate his Harlequin Butterfly? Nos so.
  10. No, quite simply – her spear hand stunned him cold.
  11. "No way a hand – can pierce through someone's heart... Bullshit, unbelievable. Not only that, my chains..."
  12. Nanami had speared through the chains wrapped around his body as protection – especially for his heart. Even the shard of the Blood Crystal, a remnant of his late friend Kamakiri, which Chocho had slipped into his costume as a last line of defense – was shattered.
  13. Swordless kenpo.
  14. A spear hand driven like a true katana, only more menacing and destructive.
  15. This was the Kyotoryu!
  16. As if reading what was on his mind from his face, Nanami withdrew her spear hand from his ribcage – and let him see her gory fingers.
  17. "The Tampopo is a grappling move, a normal spear hand unleashed while you are pulling in the opponent. And when I say normal, I mean normal. It might be able to break flesh, but common sense dictates that it could never go all the way through – unless maybe you're as strong as Shichika. What you just witnessed, I learned from your friend Kamakiri."
  18. If you looked closely.
  19. Nanami's fingertips – were sharp and pointy.
  20. Nay, not her fingers, but her fingernails.
  21. They had grown into talons.
  22.
