Powers[]
- Claws - Mizuki's nails have been transformed into sharp claws.
- Translocation - Mizuki can dash herself forward at incredible speeds.
- Teleportation - Mizuki can warp through the ground, appearing in another location moments later.
- Transformation Magic - Mizuki can command her demon companion to spit a magical ball of energy. When it hits her opponent, it changes them into a defenseless animal.

- Boomerang Projectile - Mizuki can launch a projectile that will fly back towards her after a short distance, hitting her enemies that attempt to jump over it.
- Levitation - Mizuki can grab her opponents and levitate them to a high height, dropping them afterward for damage.

- Multiple Attacks - Mizuki can slap her opponents multiple times at once.
- Energy Attacks - Mizuki can put energy in her weapon.
Fighting Style[]
Mizuki has a wide arsenal of attacks to choose from. In some ways, she is similar to Nicotine in that they can both shoot upper and lower angled projectiles and also reverse their foes movements. Like her predecessor, Amakusa, she also possesses the ability of teleportation and a multi-hitting slap attack. She can also command a demon pet to disabling her opponents attacks for a time. Her desperation attack is a unique projectile that will boomerang back to her if her opponent jumps over it. She is also quick on her feet, easily able to close distances between her foe in quick dashes with little trouble. She loses some of these powers with her playable appearance in Samurai Shodown V Special; her special moves are also made a shorter range to balance herself with other characters. She gains more access to different sealing abilities but can only execute these spells at a close range.
In the game he premiered, Maju is by Mizuki's side. Like Poppy, he can be commanded by the player to bash into and maul opponents. He can also fire an electric ball that can turn foes into animals -the most common result being a pig- rendering the player's opponents unable to input special commands and defenseless against Mizuki for one attack before reverting to normal (alternatively, transformed opponents can also wait a few seconds before the effects wear off). Appearance-wise, he is an alternative color palette of Poppy when he is idle, but morphs into a giant demonic creature when he is commanded, making him able to catch most opponents who try to jump over his attacks. Though instances are rare, he can be injured and his attacks can be interrupted. Players must also keep an eye on which direction he is facing whilst commanded, as he may attack in the opposite direction of their opponent. In Samurai Shodown V Special, he is summoned in his demonic form by Mizuki via teleportation and is not visible by the player until then.

Etymology[]
- Mizuki's surname Rashojin means "lightweight fabric, gauze, thin silk, Rome" (羅) (ra), "leader, commander, general, admiral, or, and again, soon, from now on, just about" (将) (sho) and "god, deity" (神) (jin), which roughly translate as "The Marauding Deity".
