Soaring Guillotine

Zankuu Tenshouken (斬空天翔剣) is a Mystic Arte used by both Kyle Dunamis and his father, Stahn Aileron.

Arte Decription and History
Zankuu Tenshouken is highly associated with Kyle Dunamis, following him through his appearances in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2. Originally an extension to Shikkuu Rensatsuken, Kyle does a fierce thrust before performing a downward slash, upward slash, upper thrust, another upward slash, then a final soaring slash in the air which deals multiple hits.

Stahn Aileron uses this arte in Tales of Destiny, during the final boss battle. To use it, hold down the Damage Break button (Defaulted as L1), after performing an arte while the boss has low HP, then the battle will come to an end. Stahn's version is nearly identical to his son's, though he charges his sword first and skips the opening thrust.

Though this arte appears in Kyle's artes in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3, it is actually a combination of Shikkuu Rensatsuken and Zankuu Tenshouken; an interruption to Shikkuu Rensatsuken will mean that Zankuu Tenshouken would not be performed either.
