[quote=@Guess Who] From my understanding of Mokuren's semblance, if you were to let's say punch her in the arm, you would feel like someone punched you in the same place on your own arm. If you were to let's say slowly stab her with a knife, it would feel like you were being poked by some small thin object. She feels no pain because it's almost like she has a shield protecting her from damage. Of course, this is just what it seems to me from just seeing the semblance in action with her sparring match and from what Kaben put on Mokuren's CS, so it would probably be best to wait for Kaben to answer your question.

So, it would be more like a hammer blow than a sword cut.
