An offensive technique used with Zettou Kanna.
Capitalizing on the unbreakableness of Zettou Kanna, the ARS allows the wielder to deliver a powerful blow that would normally break or severely damage a sword of lesser build quality. This technique is first used in Episode 1 of Katanagatari, "Plane, the Absolute", by Koumori Maniwa against Shichika Yasuri.
