out of any situation
All about
the Gatling Gun: The Gatling
gun was invented by a Doctor named Dr. Gatling. He invented
it in hopes of stopping all wars. He thought its
destructiveness would put a stop to whole armies but how
wrong he was. When the first few models of the gatling gun
were invented, they were highly inaccurate. The faster one
turns the handle to churn out the bullets, the less likely
they are to hit the target. That was the case when Kenshin
dodges all those bullets when Kanryuu fires at him. The next
time you watch that episode, don't think its so far fetched.
Kanryuu’s model was the captain of the fifth unit of the
Shinsengumi, Takeda Kanryuusai.

Personality
Traits
- proud of his warrior spirit
- always enforces the code "Aku,
soku, zan" which is "Kill evil immediately"
- never doubts his abilties
- resourceful
Fighting
Techniques:
Gatotsu (Fang Point)- Not really a technique but a
way of standing and holding the Nihontou. The stance itself
is done by holding the blade by the hilt in the left hand,
and poising the right hand above the tip of the blade. The
right foot leads. It can be refined for different
situations.
Gatotsu Ishiki (Fang Point First Stance)- Also called
the Hiratsuki Gatotsu (thanks to:
omyw@sbcglobal.net).
Targets are the usually the chest, the neck, shoulders, and
head.
Gatotsu Nishiki (Fang Point Second Stance)- Air to
the ground (Saitou's falling). The Nihontou is thrust
diagonally from above.
Gatotsu Sanshiki (Fang Point Third Stance)- Ground to
air, meant to intercept a falling opponent from above.
Gatotsu Zeroshiki (Fang Point Zero Stance)- Performed
at point blank range with no leg power by Saitou. Very, very
powerful move!
Taikuu Gatotsu- A combo of the Gatotsu Sanshiki, and
if you dodge that, he uses the Gatotsu Nishiki. (thanks to:
omyw@sbcglobal.net)
Hirazuki (Parrallel Stab)
Weak
Points of the Gatotsu:
The right side of Saitou is a dead angle since... A charging
attack like Gatotsu makes your field of view considerably
narrow while performing it. Therefore, if the opponent
slides into the dead angle, you can't avoid a little delay
to react.

thus, slowing the wearer down. Why would anyone want to do
that? Well, all Hiko Seijuros are very strong due to their
vigorous training. In peaceful times, they would want to
handicap their power. To do that, a mantle was perfect. Hiko
usually has a smirk on his face.
