Soru: Literally, To Shave. A technique in which the user moves at very high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick the ground several times in the blink of an eye. It is presumably the first form of Rokushiki.

Soru “Semi”: Literally, Soru “Cicada.” kuroka first acts as though he is hit by an opponent’s attack only to perform Soru before the attack touches him.

Soru “Raikou”: Literally, Soru “Lightning.” kuroka basically just kicks the ground one hundred times in the blink of an eye This technique allows him to cross vast stretches of water in a single run, and can be used in battle to increase the force of any attack by a hundredfold. However, there is a catch: kuroka can only perform this technique three times a day. After the third time, if he performs the Soru “Raikou” again his body will automatically shut down, and he will be unconscious for the rest of the day.

Kami-e: Literally, Paper Drawing. A technique in which the user makes their body go limp in order to avoid all attacks, and float like a piece of paper. It is presumably the second form of Rokushiki.

Geppou: Literally, “Moon Step.” A technique in which the user actually jumps off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. CP9 members, along with kuroka, can use this technique to cross great distances without ever touching the ground, or set themselves up for swift, aerial attacks. Despite the many advantages that Geppou gives, it has one major weakness: since its use revolves around the feet, the technique can be disrupted if the user’s legs are restrained or pinned down. It is presumably the third form of Rokushiki.

Geppou “Saiten”: Literally, Geppou “Changing Directions.” A combination of Soru and Geppou where kuroka uses Soru in a zigzag motion in midair, allowing extremely fast movement in 3 dimensions. He can also use a variation of this Geppou by using his Soru “Raikou” instead.

Rankyaku: Literally, storm leg. A projectile technique in which the user kicks out at very high speeds and strength, cutting the air, sending out a sharp “air blade” that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body. It is unknown why but the slices produced by this technique give off an eerie blue glow. It is presumably the fourth form of Rokushiki.

Rankyaku “Gufuu”: Literally, Rankyaku “Hurricane.” After using Geppou to launch himself into the air, kuroka cuts the air multiple times through swift kicks with one of his legs. Each cut is smaller than a normal Rankyaku.

Rankyaku “Hiryuu”: Literally, Rankyaku “Heavenly Dragon.” kuroka creates a large, swirling Rankyaku that has a head in the shape of a dragon.

Rankyaku “Ude”: Literally, Rankyaku “Arm.” Instead of using his leg to cut the air, kuroka uses one of his arms to cut the air (however, the attack is weaker than a normal Rankyaku).

Rankyaku “Gintori”: Literally, Rankyaku “Silver Bird.” kuroka creates a large Rankyaku in the shape of a bird, This Rankyaku has a much wider range, and is able to cleave steel - something not witnessed with other variations. The cut also seems more focused, instead of flickering and jagged like a normal Rankyaku.

Rankyaku “Godaikoku”: Literally, Rankyaku, “The Five Powers.” In his berserk form, Rayo unleashes the most devastating Rankyaku in his arsenal. kuroka shoots out five very large Rankyaku cuts at his opponent. These “air blades” have not only a wide range but are more focused and can cut steel with ease.

Shigan: Literally, “Finger Gun.” A technique in which the user pushes their finger into a certain target at very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound, making guns unnecessary.

Shigan “Kobushi”: Literally, Shigan “Fist.” It is a very, very strong punch which is done at the same speed as Shigan, making it even more powerful.

Shigan “Gohoshi”: Literally, Shigan “Five Stars.” kuroka launches several five-fingered Shigan at the opponent that in the end make the pattern of a pentagram.

Shigan “Haretsu”: Literally, Shigan “Explosion.” The user pulls back their arm as if to use a normal Shigan attack, then they whip their arm out at the opponent at a very high speed (causing their arm to appear as if it is bending like a whip would) and hits the enemy with their finger. The whip or explosion aspect of this variation results in the added effect of the target being thrown forcibly backwards.

Shigan “Hanabi”: Literally, Shigan “Fireworks.” It is simply a rapid fire version of the normal Shigan technique.

Shigan “Hakoku”: Literally, Shigan “Warrior Nation.” kuroka performs what seems to be an ordinary Shigan, but the attack uses “Ki” in order to launch an airbullet with the same power as that of Roronoa Zoro’s 108 Pound Cannon.

Shigan “Hakoku Ran”: Literally, Shigan “Warrior Nation Storm.” It is a combination of Shigan “Hanabi” and Shigan “Hakoku,” making it a dangerous projectile barrage. Each “bullet” is as strong as a regular Shigan.

Oiuchi Shigan “Shishi Danmaku”: Literally, “Final Shigan, Lion’s Barrage.” This is the strongest and fastest Shigan in existence. Kuroka moves his arms so fast that they become invisible, covering the enemy with punches (each with the force equal to a Shigan “Kobushi”;) in a mere split second. The hits land so fast that, after a volley, they seemingly connect simultaneously, while a circle of airbursts from the punches surround Kuroka.

Tekkai: Literally, Iron Mass. A technique in which the user hardens his or her muscles to be as hard as iron in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. However, it can be broken by strong enough forces. The strength of Tekkai can vary for users with different physical conditions, as a person with a higher level of muscular strength would be able to take stronger forces with his use of Tekkai. However, despite the density that one gains by using this technique, one should remember that the user's body is still flesh and blood, making it as vulnerable as ever to non-solid attacks. Hence, even masters of Tekkai are far from indestructible. It is presumed to be the sixth and last form of Rokushiki.

Tekkai “Hokou”: Literally, Tekkai “Walk.” Kuroka is able to freely move around using Tekkai without losing his speed or strength. This is in par with the CP9 agent, Jabura, Tekkai Kenpo.

Rokushiki Ougi; Roukougan: Literally, Rokushiki Ultimate Attack; Six King Gun. This is an ultimate Rokushiki technique that can damage an opponent internally, similar to the Impact Dial, but the technique is considered much more powerful, and can be performed without the side effect of great pain to the user. This technique and the way it is performed resemble Bruce Lee’s One Inch technique. It seems one must have to master every technique of Rokushiki up to their highest state to be able to use this
