Sankon Tessō

Attack whereby Inuyasha swipes his claws through the air and sends shockwaves toward his opponent or some other object targeted for destruction. This is Inuyasha's primary mode of attack when he is not wielding the sword Tetsuseiga. Direct contact with his claws is not necessary to cause severe damage to an opponent, as the shockwaves themselves are often what slash the opponent to pieces.

Upon Inuyasha's revival by Kagome early in the anime series, we first see him use this move to devastating effect as he quickly shreds an attacking snake-demon while shouting the name of the attack. Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru, is known to use his claws in a similar, if less flamboyant, fashion.
