Kirikaeshi

, also known by the name, is a Kendō technique meant to brutally kill an opponent through repeated blows to the head.

Description
The user relaxes their shoulders, tightens their grip on their sword, and makes successive strikes to their target's head. The first strike is usually aimed for the center of the head. If successful, the user then will follow up with alternating strikes to the left and right sides of the head, up to nine consecutive times, until the target is dead or decapitated. If the user prefers, a final strike to the chest can be made to finish off the technique.
