Kamui is a special feat that uses the power of Amahagane, which both
Yoshitsune and Benkei can perform. When you execute a Kamui maneuver, 
you will summon a magical space in which you can avoid enemy attacks while
simultaneously executing a devastating attack of your own. 

The Amahagane will shine in the upper left corner of the screen when the
Kamui gauge is full. Press 

Q to summon the magical space around you while

one segment of your Kamui gauge is consumed. 

In the magical Kamui space, enemies will initiate attacks more slowly. When
enemies approach within a certain distance, the 

F icon will flash on the screen

below your character. If you press 

F during this window of opportunity, you

will execute a special attack that does heavy damage. 

Later in the game, Yoshitsune and Benkei will grow strong enough that they
have more than one Kamui gauge. When this happens, you will be able to take
advantage of the Double and Triple Kamui techniques. To use these techniques,
execute a Kamui maneuver with your second Kamui gauge after entering Kamui
space normally. This second Kamui will cause time to slow down even further,
which makes enemy attacks easy to avoid. You can get up to three active Kamui
at a time.

If you defeat all the enemies in a battle while within a Kamui space, the
manuever will be considered successful. The Kamui space will disappear, and a
bonus will be added to your Kamui score. During a Kamui manuever, you can
destroy a suit of armor by hitting it in the right place or force the enemy to
drop the materials you need for special order items. Remember that while
Kamui space disappears when attacking or after defeating all enemies, it will also
disappear if any enemy successfully attacks you during the maneuver. Doing so
causes your Kamui to fail, and returns the battle to normal space.
