The moment Takezo appears in the Colosseum, his body burns with anticipation and glee. His recovery time was absolutely stunning, but it was all thanks to the man's absolute bloodlust. As the others were looking around, the swordsman was already on the move, racing across the sandy ground to fuck up the first person he saw.
It just so happens the first person he saw was a man who stuck out like a sore thumb, in part thanks to his bright red... what was that, some sort of pajama suit? The eyes did not even look like they should see, and there was no mouth... so weird. What Takezo DID notice as he made the trip was the man's swords - which only made him an even bigger target.
During the wild dash, he twisted the sheath of his sword upside down and less than a moment before he would collide with Deadpool, he swiftly grabbed the hilt of the sword and unleashed a powerful first strike across the man's chest. The surprise attack caught Deadpool off guard, ruining the chest of his brilliant suit as the blade cut upwards across his chest.
The edge of the sword did not cut near as deep as Takezo expected, this swordsman in red had unusually tough skin. That, and his blood stained suit hardly looked any different... how saddening, Takezo always enjoyed the slow spread of the crimson stain.
Just as he was about to capitalize on the surprise strike, his left shoulder jolted and began to burn. Jak had taken the swordsman's distraction and used it to ready his Blaster. Deadpool took the distraction to dash out of Takezo's reach to calibrate himself and ready his own weapons. The burning of his chest with every breath was definitely a pain in the ass.

Quote:Takezo used Iaido First Strike on Deadpool.
Jak Mar used Blaster on Takezo.
Iaido: First Strike (300)
Requires: Debuff
This technique can only be used once per encounter, as it requires drawing and immediately attacking in one fluid motion to catch an opponent off guard. Due to it relying on surprise, those with Foresight are immune, as they usually have the ability to predict this type of attack.
Takezo's first strike seeks to put a foe at a disadvantage. He does this by going for a vital slash, right across the chest. This grievous wound not only deals heavy bleed damage to those with low defenses, but hampers the victim's breath, due to each expansion of their chest causing extraordinary pain. A victim that cannot breath cannot properly move. If Takezo lands his Iaido: First Strike, the victim takes three seconds of heavy bleed damage (if DEF is 2 lower than Takezo's ATK; otherwise, reduce to mild) and suffers a slight reduction to speed (this occurs whether or not the bleed damage is severe or mild.)
