An attack commonly used in anime and video games. The user is able to use air itself to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, or in some cases sound, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the caster launches at foes. Sometimes the user has other wind-based powers along with the razor wind, but it can also be used by sword-wielders who are skilled enough they can make a sword's cutting power extend beyond the blade itself in a shockwave. This form is basically a way to give someone with a BFS a ranged attack. It's also handy if they're not allowed by the censors to actually strike people and bleed them, or just cheaper to animate. Versions of Razor Wind that require swinging around a bladed weapon to perform might also be Sword Beams. Named after the move from the Pokémon video games, ironically termed a Normal-type attack, not Flying. This is Older Than Steam, partly thanks to Shakespeare. Before him, Japanese folklore tells of the wind yÅ�kai called kamaitachi, weasels with razor sharp claws that attacked in groups to knock people down and leave bloodless cuts on their legs — all while moving with such blinding speed that the victim never saw his attacker. This was originally just a pun on "kamaetachi," which meant roughly "attacking sword", bringing the trope full circle. Another term is kazekiri, a rough translation of "wind cutting". Sometimes related to sound-based abilities like Gale-Force Sound and Make Some Noise. Tornado Move is a similar technique. |

Ranma ½: Tatewaki Kuno demonstrates he can perform a move like this which is capable of shattering stone at a considerable distance. In this unusual variant, however, there's no slicing involved; Kuno is able to stab with his sword with such strength and speed (a sword-thrusting variant of Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs is his only legitimate special technique) that it can create a concussive beam. In the anime, when having been put through unintentional Training from Hell by Happosai and believing himself to be under the effects of a speed-boosting elixir, Kuno also develops the ability to create horizontal wind vortexes by whirling his sword around in a tight spiral. Kuno also received a temporary powerup in both manga and anime: by taking the Smashing Watermelons game into Training from Hell levels, he became able to send out a devastating whirlwind of (invisible) Razor Wind that not even Ranma could penetrate. Unfortunately, he can only do it as a reflex action caused by seeing watermelons. The manga-exclusive rival martial artist Ryuu Kumon can send out razor-sharp waves of vacuum by spreading open his arms with great force. These can demolish even a solid bronze Buddha statue several stories tall. His ultimate attack involves spinning whilst firing these off in multiple directions. In the anime version of the climax for the Phoenix Pill storyline, Cologne demonstrates two wind-based attacks (conjuring and controlling a whirlwind, and creating a freezing horizontal blast by twirling her staff) in place of the manga's Shark Fist. Anime-only character Natsume is able to generate freezing cold concussive blasts of wind by swinging her carpetbeater. Ranma's final attack against Saffron and the Dragon Tap involved adapting his Hiryu Shoten Ha technique, which normally creates a tornado, to compress down into what is functionally a wind drill. |

Bleach: Captain Kenpachi Zaraki can incidentally shear buildings in half by drawing his blade after removing his energy-devouring eyepatch. Kensei Muguruma's shikai can produce both Razor Wind and energy blast attacks. Jin Kariya from the Bount arc uses Razor Wind in several fights. Baraggan can swing his axe hard enough the Razor Wind cleaves a building that looks like it's about a mile away from him in two. And that was a missed swing from trying to hit Soifon. In the Lost Substitute Shinigami arc, a de-powered Ichigo gets his powers restored, and fires his signature Sword Beam Getsuga Tenshou at the arc's Big Bad, who promptly shrugs it off and gloats that while it's admittedly a bit stronger than before, it still isn't strong enough to beat him. Ichigo then says that he didn't fire a Getsuga Tenshou at all, that was just the air being displaced from a normal sword swing. Suddenly the bad guy isn't so cocky anymore. |

Dark Souls III: The Storm Ruler returns, this time being used to take down Yhorm the Giant. Rather than every attack generating razor wind, it's limited to the unique weapon skill of the weapon, which must be charged for a few seconds before it can fire razor wind. This means that you can fire razor wind anywhere, not just in the boss arena. However, it does absolutely no damage to anything except Yhorm, even other giants, despite the lore saying giants are weak to it, which is the entire reason it works on Yhorm in the first place. | |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance introduces the twin legendary swords Ragnell and Alondite, both capable of creating a wave of energy that allows them to attack at range. They return in the sequel, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and bring with them a set of blades that give this ability to the previously incapable set of generic swords. Not to be confused with the spellcasting swords in the series as a whole, which perform magic attacks when used at range. More obviously, the mage class in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn uses wind as one of their three types of attack magic (most notably Soren and Bastian), the other two being fire and lightning. Also in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is the laguz king of the Raven tribe, Naesala. One of his exclusive skills, named Vortex, enables him to attack the enemy at close or long range with a wind spell. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: The sacred tome Excalibur's animation is a green-tinted, razor-hurricane. It can only be used by an S-Level mage, and it grants + 5 speed. The combat animation is slightly impractical, but incredibly fun to watch — especially when used by a sage, since they have ankle-length capes. The Wind Sword's ranged attack uses the exact same animation. There was also a B-rank tome called Alacalibur that was a lesser version of Excalibur, but it got Dummied Out. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon: Merric joins with an Excalibur tome which fires blades made of air and magic that are strong against basically everything. It's a B-rank tome with an ability that lets Marik alone use it at a magic rank of E. |

The Wind Cutter and Air Thrust spells in Tales Series are the most recurrent examples of this. A good example of this trope is made by Suzu from Tales of Phantasia who has a move that dices an opponent standing in front of her up with several quick air slashes. Heck, it's even called "Nimpo Kamaitachi". Kyle Dunamis' Azure Edge and its related extensions in Tales of Destiny 2, is a wind-based projectile blasted straight from Kyle' sword. It'd later be used by Yuri and Ludger, with Yuri showing off the Final Gale arte in Tales of Vesperia, a boosted version involving firing one Azure into another for a huge energy shot. Garr/Woodrow from Tales of Destiny makes an entire fighting style out of this with his sword Igtenos. Hisui of Tales of Hearts combines it with his arm-mounted crossbow Soma for range. Both have the above spells too. |

Naruto: Wind techniques generally rely on sharpening the chakra, so the series takes this trope and runs with it. Temari from the Hidden Sand also makes active use of various wind cutting techniques with her giant iron fan; the kamaitachi she can summon is capable of decimating an entire forest in seconds. In fact, her village in general has wind as its main element; for example, Baki can use a ninjutsu called "Blade of Wind", which is a technique that works exactly as it is named. The Hidden Leaf also has a few wind users; Asuma can channel his wind element into the two knives he uses, giving them an extended reach and making them much sharper. Naruto had a once-used variation of the Rasengan that worked like a Drill Wind, and his Rasenshuriken creates so many tiny wind blades that anyone hit by it is destroyed on a cellular level (initially it damages his own arm too, but he develops several ways around that drawback). Danzo also has several Razor Wind-type techniques, including one similar to the one in the above pic that is capable of mortally injuring multiple people at once. |

In Fist of the North Star, practitioners of the Nanto Seiken family of martial arts styles can rip opponents to shreds this way with their bare hands. In fact, it's one of the defining aspects of the style - whilst Hokuto Shinken, The Hero Kenshiro's martial arts style and Nanto Seiken's direct opposite, rips you apart from the inside out, Nanto slices you up from the outside in. | |

In a scene of the Chinese movie Hero (2002), an assassin who just killed her lover is pursued by a vengeful disciple of his. She doesn't want to fight, but the Dual Wielding disciple really does... the assassin only reacts after having a little hair cut, by using her sword to create winds that whip all the leaves in the area into dazzling displays. Seems in this case that the wind is just a way to shove her opponent around harmlessly. | |

Elden Ring features this trope quite a lot. The Ashes of War "Storm Blade" and "Vacuum Slice" both fire razor wind from your weapon, "Beast's Roar" is a Make Me Wanna Shout version, and the game even has its own version of the "Storm Ruler boss" seen in previous games, although the weapon has a different name and is a greatspear instead of a greatsword. | |

Final Fantasy VII spinoffs Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus have more specific examples. Though not necessarily wind, Sephiroth will slash the air and produce a kind of white shockwave that travels for a long distance (called "Draw Slash") in Crisis Core. In Dirge, Rosso the Crimson attacks primarily with slicing blades heavily implied to be wind, and since Weiss the Immaculate has (almost) everyone's powers, he is an example of this trope, as well. | |

World of Warcraft's Shaman have this in Windfury (formerly a weapon enhancement before being made passive), which would randomly cause tornadoes to appear, in gameplay this translated to the shaman basically hitting the enemy three times with a basic attack. In the game's infancy, the attack could proc off of itself, resulting in 40 man raid bosses being one-shot. Monks also have a version in Rushing Jade Wind, an upgrade to the channeled Spinning Crane Kick that removes the kick, allowing the Monk to continue attacking while still doing Ao E damage. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 3/3.5ed : The Blood Wind spell enchants a character's natural weapons, allowing them to make melee attacks with them at range. Flaywind Burst creates a blast of wind that knocks enemies back while also damaging them. However, the actual cutting is done by dust and grit that's summoned along with it (the spell has both the Air and Earth descriptors). The Yari of Air spell from Oriental Adventures creates a spear out of condensed winds, which can be wielded as a normal weapon. |

Dynasty Warriors had this for some time in the form of the Wind Scroll item, which causes an invisible blade to extend out from your weapon, allowing the character to hit enemies from roughly 25% further away. Given the name, it is meant to invoke this trope—weapons so sharp that the air they cut can harm enemies. This became the skill "Havoc" in the eighth Western iteration, the same release that saw several weapons that did damage with slashes of air instead of a blade of some kind (most notably, Sima Zhao's Striking Sword moveset). | |

They return in the sequel, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and bring with them a set of blades that give this ability to the previously incapable set of generic swords.

Surprisingly, Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra downplays this significantly. The only Airbender seen using such a technique is Aang, and he only did it thrice — and one of those times was to kill a buzzard-wasp for trying to eat Team Pet Momo, which is also the only time he outright kills anything in the entire series. Razor water, on the other hand, is a common move for Waterbenders. | |

Demon's Souls has the Storm Ruler, a greatsword with no stat requirements that is found in the Storm King's boss arena. As long as it's used inside the area, every attack generates a huge, massively damaging slash of razor wind, which is pretty much the only way to do any significant damge to the boss, and the only way for melee-focused characters to even hit the damn thing at all, since it's flying. | |

In Hell Teacher Nube, one of the youkai Of The Week is a family of kamaitachi, three lightning-fast weasels that cause a minor commotion in Doumori. The largest one knocks people down with his iron cudgel; the middle one cuts them up with her scythe-shaped arms; the child mends the wounds instantly with a magical balm. When Makoto takes the latter as a pet and hides it, the two others make a mess out of everything and everyone (especially since the cuts can be lethal, and the cutting one sliced Nube himself in half) until he lets it go back to its family. | |

One Piece: This is one of The Lancer Roronoa Zoro's most powerful attacks. Which he developed explicitly to have a ranged attack after being constantly put at a disadvantage by guns, thus consciously fulfilling the main use of this trope. Other swordsman in the series also make use of this. Notable examples include Dracule Mihawk, Ryuma, and Brook (post-Time Skip). The overall technique is often translated from Japanese as "Flying Slash". Filler Arc villain Eric The Whirlwind can create these at will thanks to his Kama Kama no Mi (Sickle-Sickle Fruit) powers. Every member of CP9 can also do this with the Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) technique...and to a lesser extent, the Shigan (Finger Pistol) technique. |

Pokémon has both the aforementioned Razor Wind, Air Cutter, and Air Slash moves. Gust was once portrayed this way in the anime (by Ash's newly evolved Pidgeot). It used to be a Normal attack in the first generation. Second generation onwards saw its type changed to Flying. Palkia's signature move Spacial Rend is like this, but instead of wind, it weaponizes distortions in the spatial continuum. In the anime it's depicted like a Sword Beam, but in the 3D titles onwards, it acts more like Judgement Cut complete with Dramatic Shattering. The Pokémon Sneasel and Weavile are based off of the yokai kamaitachi... though they ironically cannot learn Razor Wind. Interestingly, the trope-naming move is borderline useless (especially in the first generation), being a two-turn move that has only 80 base power, no "semi-invulnerable" period like Fly or Dig, and being Normal type, it wasn't super effective on anything. In Gen I it had only 75% accuracy (and no increased critical hit ratio, like it would have in later generations); to put this in perspective, using Tackle twice would be more effective than this move. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon features a variation called Vacuum Cut, which sends out an array of these in every direction to clear a whole room. |

All the sword-wielding characters in Skies of Arcadia use variations of the trope as a standard long-range attack in battle. Vyse's is relatively orthodox, but Enrique, being aligned with the Moon that governs electricity, shoots out a glowing energy ball from the tip of his sword with a single well-aimed thrust. | |

Touhou Project: Youmu Konpaku from the games is another noted exponent; as a player-character she can use a constant stream of rapid-fire Razor Wind, and as an opponent she has a couple of attacks which basically fill the screen with it. Komachi does it too. With a scythe. |

Final Fantasy: The Air Render knife would occasionally do this to all enemies, and was a part of the Game-Breaker combo known as "Wind God Gau" in Final Fantasy VI. Final Fantasy VI also had this as once of Sabin's Blitz techniques, except he generated razor wind with his fists. Final Fantasy Tactics has "Kamaitachi" as one of the Geomancer's Geo Effects. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has Air Render, a melee class ability that damages enemies at a distance, although despite the name, the attack isn't considered as Wind. It's also in the sequel, Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Final Fantasy games also have the Aero spell. Final Fantasy VII spinoffs Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus have more specific examples. Though not necessarily wind, Sephiroth will slash the air and produce a kind of white shockwave that travels for a long distance (called "Draw Slash") in Crisis Core. In Dirge, Rosso the Crimson attacks primarily with slicing blades heavily implied to be wind, and since Weiss the Immaculate has (almost) everyone's powers, he is an example of this trope, as well. Sephiroth retains this shockwave attack in Dissidia Final Fantasy as well. He also has three Brave attacks which involves swings that produce slashing currents to deal consecutive damage. The Geomancer job in Final Fantasy V will sometimes use "Wind Slash," one of the job's more powerful attacks, and there is a samurai sword that will randomly trigger it too. |

There is a spell in the game Ninja Gaiden 2 called Art of the Wind Blades. The in-game description refers to razor-sharp areas of vacuum created by incredibly fast movements of the caster's hands. Usually ends up taking off enemy arms and creating a huge mess. The Fiend Spider Ninjas can do it too, though to a much lesser extent. | |

In Fate/stay night: Berserker (the demigod hero Hercules) is capable of a form of this. Given his excessive brawn, madness-induced strength, and his simply enormous sword, he violently displaces air with * every attack* . Dodging just the sword isn't enough — you have to dodge the shockwaves as well to avoid getting cut. These shockwaves are much shorter in range than normal for this trope, so it can't be used as a distance attack. (Ironically, he actually has a skill that might have allowed him to completely fulfill the trope and more, if he wasn't in the grip of constantly induced madness.) Saber's Invisible Air: Barrier of the Wind King. This noble phantasm's main purpose is to make Saber's sword invisible by surrounding it with light distorting wind, but it also has a secondary ability where the stored wind can be discharged as a short ranged razor wind attack. |

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: The sacred tome Excalibur's animation is a green-tinted, razor-hurricane. It can only be used by an S-Level mage, and it grants + 5 speed. The combat animation is slightly impractical, but incredibly fun to watch — especially when used by a sage, since they have ankle-length capes. The Wind Sword's ranged attack uses the exact same animation. There was also a B-rank tome called Alacalibur that was a lesser version of Excalibur, but it got Dummied Out. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Setsuna further shows these techniques, such as the Zan Kuu Sen (roughly Air-Cleaving-Flash), an attack that fires a blast of compressed air in a spiraling manner to cut far away targets. The "Exorcising Blade" technique reappears in Negima. It's one of the few techniques that Negi's Black Magic is weak against. Other examples include the Griffin Dragon's Breath Weapon and the ability of one of the mage-teachers to produce razor wind with just a snap of his fingers. |

In Dragon Ball Z: After Vegeta and Goku fuse to fight Super Buu, Vegito spends a few seconds punching and kicking until Buu lets his guard down, then he lets off one of these and slashes his cheek open. There's also Freeza's Death Wave technique (although that's actually a Ki Manipulation). According to Daizenshuu 7, Cell cut a mountain into tiles to make his arena using shock waves created by swiping his fingers. |

Raijuta from Rurouni Kenshin uses wind as both a close-range and long-range attack. In a subversion, it's not a particularly effective technique, since the destructive power behind it doesn't mean anything if you're as fast as Kenshin. Also, Hiko Seijuro, Kenshin's teacher, though he never uses it as an attack, uses this with a casual wave of his sword after taking off his weighted cloak, and it manages to tear a massive rift in the ground. In Raijuta's case (and probably others), it's also given a more realistic explanation of not being "sharp air", but rather a vacuum/shockwave formed from the speed of the swing. Kenshin himself does this in a filler episode when he disables a number of crude hand-thrown bombs by slicing their fuse threads in midair with only the wind from his sword swings. |

Kyle Dunamis' Azure Edge and its related extensions in Tales of Destiny 2, is a wind-based projectile blasted straight from Kyle' sword. It'd later be used by Yuri and Ludger, with Yuri showing off the Final Gale arte in Tales of Vesperia, a boosted version involving firing one Azure into another for a huge energy shot. | |

In the Street Fighter series: Early localizations implied this to be the source of Guile's Sonic Boom and Somersault/Flash Kick special attacks, as a result of him swinging his arms/legs at super sonic speeds. Nowadays they appear to just be regular Ki Manipulation like everyone else's moves. |

Starscream from Transformers: Cybertron can use this more as a defensive technique. While it's a blast of wind created by slashing the air with his blades, it's a wider shockwave that isn't as sharp, and is mostly used to deflect laser attacks by causing them to explode prematurely on hitting the air wave. It can also knock down or disorient opponents. This ability overlaps with Blow You Away, but it's here because it's a single attack created by a blade rather than a more general powerset. | |

Hollow Knight: Mantis Petras attack by creating "wind-scythes", blades of compressed air, by slashing with their claws, which spin towards the Knight before retrating back towards their sender. | |

Dark Souls: The Iron Golem can do this with its axe, and so can you if you make its axe out of its boss soul. The Drake Sword and Dragon King's Greatsword can also do this. | |
