As she read on it became obvious why Genma had been so intimidated of that technique. There were other techniques within.
Among other things there was something like the Hiryu Shoten Ha, but instead of depending on anger and cool, it depended on the number of opponents. The Maelstom of Souls would manifest as chi blasts in the form of evil ghosts and reached its peak at about ten opponents.

And so it went, all the techniques given certain flashes to imitate demons or ghosts with fanciful chi projections. Akane wondered if it were possible to take the flavor projections out and save energy that way.
It was quite altogether as powerful as the senken, though it relied mostly on instilling fear, nay terror, in the opponents. Then, while they were down stunned, attacking through more mundane means.
