{{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.

In this game, [[The Wandering Samurai]] is protecting a town from [[Demons|yokai]] wearing tengu masks by slicing them. The player uses Ⓐ to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down the enemies moving to the beat of the music.

The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.

*The name of the game uses an old character,{{Nihongo|ゐ|wi}}, that is rarely used in modern Japanese, where the game's name would be written "いあい斬り", meaning "killing an opponent by drawing one's sword." If read with the old spelling, it would be pronounced "Wiahi Giri".

Fun is the universal language.
While the title of this page is official, it comes from a non-English source. If an official name from an English source is found, the page should be moved to its appropriate title.
In this game, The Wandering Samurai is protecting a town from yokai wearing tengu masks by slicing them. The player uses Ⓐ to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down the enemies moving to the beat of the music.

The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.

The name of this game uses a nearly obsolete Japanese kana, ゐ (wi?), which is rarely used in modern Japanese. The modern spelling would be いあい斬り (Iai Slash?). "Iai" refers to the "art of quickly drawing one's sword, cutting down one's opponent and sheathing the sword afterwards". In short, a quick-draw sword technique.
