212 Shiki Kototsuki You

212 Shiki Kototsuki You (Method 212: Zither Moon Yang) is a Special Move in The King of Fighters series, being a semi-consistent signature move of Kyo Kusanagi.

Description
When done with either the B or D version, the user runs at their opponent, drives their elbow into the opponent, lift-grabs them by their neck, and explodes them. For the EX version (BD), it forgoes the run for either the immediate head grab (XIII) or for a Hachi Tetsu (XIV-), before ending with the explosion.

Normally a hit-grab move, it can be blocked before the elbow can hit, so the move is used normally to end combos. However the EX version is a 3F command grab, and thus can surprise the foe when they least expect it, making it useful as a deadly mixup option, especially in the corner.
