PERFECT DEFENSE AND DEFENSE BREAK
This game does not have any particular commands for defense. Basically, the character needs to
“counter-attack the attack.” 
PERFECT DEFENSE - By counterattacking the opponent’s Frontal
Attack with the Reverse Attack and the opponent’s Reverse Attack with the
Frontal Attack, the character will be able to execute a “Perfect Defense.”
DEFENSE BREAK - If the character uses the Frontal Attack to defend
the opponent’s Frontal Attack, the character will not incur damage, but will
lose balance and be caught off guard.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEFENSE AND POWER 
Under normal circumstances, whether a “Perfect Defense” is executed or not is determined by the
attacking sides (Frontal Attack/Reverse Attack) of both parties. However, one character may have an
advantage over the other when there is a big difference in power between either character or weapon.
THE CONCEPT OF “YIN” AND “YANG”
In Narukagami Shinto School, the side with the weapon, the left side when facing the opponent is called
“Yang.” The other side is called “Yin.” Here we introduce the relationship of “Yin” and “Yang” using the
Katana as an example. The Katana’s Reverse Attack (
≈ button) attacks the opponent’s “Yin” side if the
character is in a Normal Stance and “Yang“ side if the character is in a High Stance. For instance, if the
character is in a High Stance and sees an opening on the opponent’s “Yang” side, the character can
attack accurately by moving around to the opponent’s “Yang” side and attacking with the Reverse
Attack in a High Stance. By adjusting your attacks between “Yin” and “Yang” according to the
circumstances in this manner, the game can be enjoyed to its fullest extent.
When the opponent leaves an opening on its “Yang” side, move to that side and use attacks that will
attack the opening. Some opponents cannot be defeated by simply attacking head on.

Basic Attacks & Defenses
FRONTAL ATTACK - 
Ω button
Straightforward attacks with no wrist movement. This includes stabbing and
swinging the weapon downward.
REVERSE ATTACK - 
≈ button
Swings weapon sideways and slashes upward using the wrists.
Note: When the character attacks with two swords, the Ω button executes attacks using the main
weapon and the ≈ button executes attacks using the sub-weapon. Depending on the weapon and stance,
not all characters can attack with two swords.
REPEATED ATTACK - 
Ω button (after deflecting an attack)
When weapons hit each other, “Weapon Deflection” occurs. The character that advantageously deflects
the opponent’s weapon can attack repeatedly by pressing the Ω button. (In some situations, you can do
the same by pressing the ≈ button.)
COUNTER ATTACK - 
≈ button (after your weapon is deflected)
When your weapon is deflected, press the ≈ button to counter attack. (If the character is a two-sworded
fighter and the weapon in your left hand is deflected, press the Ω button.)
ATTACKS BY INPUTTING COMMANDS
By pressing the Directional buttons with either the Ω button or ≈ button, you can execute various
attacks. The list shown below introduces some basic attacks. However, various weapons and stances have
different attacks, so these examples may not be available at all times.
Commands available to most weapons: 
ñ + Ω or ≈,
ññ + Ω or ≈
Commands for Iai Stance: 
µ+ ≈, 
≤ + ≈
Commands for special or exclusive attacks:  ∫ ñ + Ω or ≈,
ñ∫ + Ω or ≈
