    Nobushi’s new execution is cool, but makes no sense

    Don’t really remember its’ name, but the one where she hits them in the stomach with the shaft of her weapon, and then twists their arm around. Because the only thing connecting their arm to the shaft of the weapon is their own hand holding on to it, they would loosen their grip the second their arm started hurting. So while twisting the weapon around like that might be a decent way to force them to let go of it, actually breaking their arm that way would be impossible.

    I suggest to instead make it so they let go of the weapon, then she quickly jabs them in the face or once more in the stomach with it before doing the kick.

    Other than that little detail I really like the execution though. The blunt force to the stomach and the stylish kick, followed by a twirl of the weapon is all very cool, but people don’t tend to hold on to something that’s twisting their arm.

    I’d think that she gets the arm in an angle at which the shaft is in the way of it going into it’s normal position so as she moves the shaft then the arm is pushed further.

    The arm’s trapped, it doesn’t matter if they’re holding onto the staff or not.

    It’s likely she also dislocated the opponent’s shoulder.

    What’s strange to me is that the kick is what kills them.
