I like how small the window is. It acts like a parry. But they can change the cost of Hissatsu Seigan(the counter attack) from 15 kenki to free. Would be a nice buff and encourage you to use it more. Also buff merciful eyes heal.

10 seconds of history. Tsujigiri - is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during nighttime. The practitioners themselves are also referred to as tsujigiri.
