Tsumujiguruma

«Tsumujiguruma» (ツムジグルマ (旋車)) is a heavy, ranged, 1-hit omnidirectional, Katana category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.

Description
Once «Tsumujiguruma» is activated, the user first crouches and then jumps up high, turning their body in mid-air, thus accumulating power to their weapon. When the user reaches the ground, they unleash a heavy, horizontal 360 degrees slash and hitting anyone in the area around the user unfortunate enough to get in their way. Though it is a ranged attack, the attack deals a large amount of damage and also causes a stun effect on everyone hit by the skill. However, as the skill is a very high-leveled, it also has a long post-motion delay.

Illfang the Kobold Lord activates this skill whenever it detects that it is in a «surrounded state» while having its nodachi taken out.

Usage

 * Progressive Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part 13:
 * Illfang the Kobold Lord uses the skill against Diavel's party, after the monster draws its nodachi and senses that it is in a «surrounded state».


 * Progressive Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part 14/Episode 2:
 * After Illfang's last HP bar drops below 30%, one of the tanks trips over, landing directly behind Illfang and causing it to activate its ranged skill again. However, before the boss is able to land to deal damage, Kirito uses Sonic Leap to hit the boss in mid-air, making it crash to the ground and cancel its skill.

Trivia

 * In Episode 2, the skill was not used to strike Diavel's party, before singling out Diavel. Therefore, the anime does not show the skill being fully executed.
 * The anime portrays the skill as having a purple light effect, when the novel states that it was crimson.
