The moment that Nazo's body showed signs that it was about to move, Seisui focused his mind in on the samurai and let his senses spike in their sensitivity. His body would become ready to react at a moment's notice and as the Yagami charged in, attempting to confuse him with high speed movement and several technically unnecessary maneuvers, the man eventually seemed to begin a spin, his blade in reverse grip so as to impale backwards as he attacked.

As Seisui noticed this likely occurrence, he took a step towards the Yagami, moving even as the blade was moments from moving into its impaling maneuver. The movement, which allowed him to enter Nazo's physical space and move nearly out of the way, Seisui moved his blade, letting the butt of the handle nick the flat of Nazo's blade as it slid back towards him to attack. As he did so he applied pressure, pushing the blade off track and slamming his sheath into Nazo's left side just above his hip before retreating back one step and then ducking under Nazo's blade and slashing at the hand that held said katana in a mostly vertical diagonal sweeping slash.
