Ura Gokou

Ura Gokou ("Reverse Five Lights") is one of Genjuro Kibagami's Weapon-Flipping Techniques in the Samurai Shodown series, first appearing in Samurai Shodown III.

Description
Genjuro slashes his opponent upwards with an upper-spin-slash, then rises up per slash after his foe to finish them with a final one that drops them to the ground. Each slash unveils a hanafuda (flower card) image being sliced per slash.

The main difference between this version and the original is that Genjuro rises upwards per slash, while the latter has him already at the peak when slashing at his victim. Both versions also have different hanafuda images per each slash.

This can often be apparent in that this is one of the few Bust/Rasetsu-version moves that is often put into Genjuro's base moveset, often as the only Gokou Zan variation (SVC Chaos), as a different button version (NGBC) or as a stronger version of Gokou Zan (SS7).

Trivia

 * This is one of the few Bust/Rasetsu moves put into Genjuro's base moveset in later games, which also occurs at times with some of Haohmaru's later movesets.
