Adding an element of suprise to the basic hook kick and his main elemental affinity into the mix, Kaito was able to improve upon the already devastating attack.

What it does: The user, standing in front of their target, raises their dominant leg into the air in a crescent-like form and connects it swiftly with the target's temple. Continuing with the leg's momentum, this causes the target to land on the ground headfirst and become disoriented for 2 posts (disorientation meaning they cannot focus to weave hand signs). If the target's strength is higher than the power of this technique (after appropriate calculations) they can resist the fall but will still become disoriented for 1 post as long as the technique connects.

This technique can be utilized mid-air.
