Baizou Yaiba Shuriken

Baizou Yaiba Shuriken  (倍増刃手裏剣 Double Blade Small Throwing Blade) is an advanced Zanjutsu technique.

Description
To prepare for this technique, Keiichi will take his two swords together from the hilts, and use his Spiritual Power to stick them together for as long as he wishes. He'll then take it from the center where the two hilts are connected, reach behind him, and toss the double blade in front of him, causing it to spin out of control toward the enemy just like a Shuriken. Once it strikes an enemy it'll instantly locate another one if it's nearby and strike it; after striking several enemies in a row, the Shuriken will then boomerang all the way back to Keiichi, who will then catch it in his hand, and start all over again if need be. Due to the sheer length of the blade in this state, he can easily slice opponents whom it strikes clear in half, or slice off entire limbs, depending on how and where it makes contact with them. He can use his Spiritual Power to guide the blade to wherever he wants it to travel, using one or both of his hands as the guiding force; he even does this to stop the blade in mid air and have it retrace its steps instead of continuing and completing its original journey. Keiichi can alter the speed and velocity of the attack in two instances; the first is before he throws it, which is based on both the physical strength he puts into the throw, and the amount of Spiritual Power that he wants to put into it at the time, and the second moment is when it's flying out of control, which is based solely on how much of his Spiritual Power that he wants to continue pouring into it; if he adds more, it'll get faster, and if he adds less, it'll get slower. He has to be careful, however, because if it gets too slow, then friction and gravity will eventually catch up with it, and it'll fall to the ground, useless.

Variations
Sanjuu Yaiba Shuriken  ( 倍増刃手裏剣 Triple Blade Small Throwing Blade):  This technique is an expansion to the technique Baizou Yaiba Shuriken, only usable in the Three Sword Style. After sticking the first two swords together by the handles, Keiichi then attaches the third blade to the other two handles where the other two handles already connected. He then tosses it just like he does with Baizou Yaiba Shuriken. The first obvious enhancement about this ability is the speed being tripled; other than that, the blades are also sharper as well, allowing it to slice through much more tough enemies, and the Shuriken can fly, rickache, and boomerang for a much longer duration.
