{{GameExplainArcade
{{Nihongo|'''Iai Giri'''|ゐあひ斬り|Iai Giri}} is the 8th game in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. In this game, [[The Wandering Samurai]] is protecting a town from [[Evil Demons]] wearing tengu masks by slicing them.
The player uses the A Button to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down enemies moving to the beat of the music. Fog eventually creeps in to obscure the player's vision of the enemies and forces them to use their sense of rhythm to best them. The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.
