Taking control of his opponent’s spear and simultaneously closing the distance forced his foe to abandon his weapon. This was a good sign to Tojiko, it again showed the man had some form of wits. Tojiko still on the offensive, continued his rush forward in order to sever the man’s arm, although too slow. His prey successfully maneuvered its hand out the way all while motioning to attack with his left hand reaching for his sword. It would appear that Tojiko would be defenseless, but he led with his right foot when performing his own attack. It would be unusual to slash diagonally right to left while leading with his left foot—very uncomfortable. In order to defend himself once more and to put an end to this; Tojiko’s current motion would be performed fluidly, after failing to sever his opponents arms. The blade ascension climaxed at the solar plexus of his foe; he carried that momentum into a continuous motion. He angled his blade to where the point faced the ground, leaning in closer so that his right shoulder hugged the flat side of the blade -the blade now carried over his shoulder much like someone carrying a sack - , rotating his right hip toward the opponent while spinning on the ball of his right foot. The blade running along his right side in the path of his opponents incoming attack effectively blocking and his body being the support he needed. His left foot already his supporting ground also motioned, dragging it along the ground as he rotated his right, his left heel leading as he dragged it now to be diagonal with his right . (180 block, putting the blade in blocking position) Tojiko brought both wrist over his head, lifting his blade to push away his opponent’s weapon, turning his katana as it ascended to place it at the foes neck; all while he spinned on the ball of his left foot, bringing his right foot widely over with the toe being the lead. He insured he made eye contact with his foe by looking over his left shoulder. Once his blade leveled with his own left shoulder when bringing it over his head during the rotation -still at the right side of his opponent’s neck- Tojiko pull back on the blade, slicing in order to sever a major artery in the neck. This entire motion was simply a 360 where he blocked and attempted to attack in one continuous spin. Returning him to a modified form of his original stance with his left leading, more of his weight on his back foot and his blade closer in guard. As priory mentions Seigan No Kamae was a common stance that allowed for the blade to return to the starting point with haste. It was also is favorite stance.
