Kenshis Kenjutsu variation plays rather similarly to Ermac in that he has the ability to grab opponents in midair from a distance and throw them around. This variation adds the abilities Telekinetic Push, Slam, and Toss to Kenshis repertoire. Rising Sword is another one of his unique abilities that allows Kenshi to slash with his blade from below. Meter Burning this move will launch your opponent high up in the air, allowing you to execute a juggle combo. His other unique ability, Spinning Blade, is an overhead attack. Kenjutsu Kenshi is a hybrid of a close and mid-ranged fighter because of his abilities to grab opponents from midscreen and punish them with his sword when theyre close. Meter Burning Tele-Slam will stun your opponent for awhile, giving you a wide window to run in with Rising Sword a viable strategy for those wanting to try out huge combos with the Kenjutsu variation.

Producer Koji Nakajima explains why.

Following on from two solid episodes, The Sword in the Darkness is a two hour gripping showcase that finally draws the introductory segments to a close, making way for the real meat of the series to come forward.
