Template:Game-Nav Template:Minigame infobox Iai Giri (Romaji: "Wiahi Giri" or "Iai Giri" ゐあひぎり^?, Iai Giri) is the 8th game in Rhythm Tengoku. In this game, The Wandering Samurai is protecting a town from yokai wearing tengu masks by slicing them.

Gameplay

File:Double.png

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.

Trivia

• The name of the game uses an old character, ゐ (wi^?), which is rarely used in modern Japanese, where the game's name would be written as "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".
  • This game lacks an official English name due to Rhythm Tengoku not being released outside of Japan. The closest would be the name of Samurai Slice in Rhythm Heaven, which is named Iai Giri Gaiden in Japanese.
• This is one of a few games in Rhythm Tengoku that doesn’t have a practice.
  • However, a tutorial was added in the arcade version.
• The Wandering Samurai has returned in other games in the series.
