Release Command: "Unleash the storm, Kōryū no Ibuki!"
Upon release, the blade of Kōryū no Ibuki extends and splits into five smaller, interconnected blades, each representing a different element: fire, water, earth, air, and lightning. The blades shimmer with their respective elemental auras, and the wielder can control and switch between these elements at will.

4. Kaze no Kokyū (Breath of Wind): The blade becomes light and swift, capable of creating powerful gusts of wind and cutting through the air with incredible speed.
5. Inazuma no Kokyū (Breath of Lightning): The blade crackles with electricity, allowing for lightning-fast strikes and the generation of powerful electrical discharges.
