STAGE 2
<< >>

Iai Giri (ゐあひ斬り^?, Iai Giri) (also written as "ゐあひぎり" on the prologue) is the 2nd Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (8th overall) in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay

In this game, The Wandering Samurai is protecting a town from yōkai 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. Fog eventually creeps in to obscure the player's vision 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.

Controls

• Ⓐ: Slice

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!^?: The samurai slices the enemy directly in half.
• Early!/Late!^?: The samurai's sword smacks the enemy, causing it to tumble off the screen. His stance returns to the first one.
• Miss...^?: The enemy continues its path and hits the samurai, making him cry out in pain while flinging his entire body backward. His stance returns to the first one.

Trivia

• 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 いあい斬ぎり (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.
• This is one of a few games in Rhythm Tengoku that doesn't have a Practice.
  • However, a "How to Play" demonstration was added in the arcade version.
