Geppou
I understand what the technique is, but how is it pulled off?

Theoretically, I suppose, the user pushes down with enough force and speed so that the air is collected at the bottom like an air cushion, which expands and forces themselves up again. Not too sure if that's what happens, because nobody ever asked it in the series... 122.106.222.64 08:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Rankyaku
Is Rankyaku an air blade or an energy blade attack, because it looks more like a blade of energy then an air blade. --66.206.147.17 04:25, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

As stated by the anime and manga it is an attack that causes wind that can move fast enough to cut, it is wind not energy. Arieus 10:39, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

In the anime, air-based slashes like Rankyaku or Zoro's Pound Hou techniques look like bluish energy waves, possibly because if air is compressed to such a degree it becomes visible; or they do it just to make it more visually interesting.
