''Kurihara concentrated, her blade sheathed at her feet, then without warning, she grasped it and moved faster than lightning; when she finally drew it, there was only blood and death.''

Named after the swordswoman who invented it, this devastating maneuver is intended to finish a prolonged battle. In order to use this maneuver correctly, you must have your weapon sheathed. As part of initiating this strike, you cross the battlefield in a flash, moving up to four times your speed in a straight line; this movement does not provoke any attacks of opportunity. During this movement, you are so quick you are [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]]; this effect is extraordinary and thus fools [[SRD:See Invisibility|''see invisibility'']], [[SRD:True Seeing|''true seeing'']], and similar abilities.

At any point during this movement, you draw you weapon and unleash your attack; upon doing so, you make a single melee attack against any number of creatures and/or objects within a 20 ft. radius spread. Roll one attack roll and compare to each available opponent's AC individually. This attack deals triple damage, does not miss on a natural 1, and all struck creatures caught flat-footed by this attack must make a [[Fortitude]] save (DC 19 + [[Intelligence]] Modifier) or die.

Creatures killed by this maneuver are torn to shreds, leaving their corpse unsuitable to be [[SRD:Raise Dead|raised]], and any other creatures which observe another creature perishing from this maneuver must make a [[Will]] save (DC 19 + [[Intelligence]] Modifier) or be [[SRD:Frightened|frightened]] for 1 round. This part of the maneuver is a [[Descriptor::Mind-Affecting|mind-affecting]] [[Descriptor::Fear|fear]] effect.</onlyinclude>
