Favourite Attack Someone Use In An Anime

Oh boy, I can feel that this post is going to be a long one. Don't worry though, I'll try to summarize it as much as possible without going overboard (I hope). So before I begin, I want to let you know that the one I'll be choosing isn't because it's eye candy. Rather, it's how the attacks are being used in a combo much like those versus games in Street Fighter or BlazBlue.

Kakyoin: Hierophant Green

As part of the Crusaders in the 3rd arc of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure series, Kayoin is one of those smooth and calm companions that play the part of a strategist of the group. His Stand, Hierophant Green, is his humanoid spirit partner who does most of the work in battling out with their enemies.

The best traits of Hierophant Green is that its a long ranged fighter which enables it to mobilize further out from its user and handy when it needs to scout out any enemies that could be laying an ambush. However, being a long ranged fighter does have its setbacks. Hierophant Green is weak in direct hand to hand combat so it's easy to imagine him as an assassin type rather a tanker.(If you put it in gaming terms)

:: Coiled Body Strangely enough, Hierophant Green's body is initially just a group of connected membranes. It doesn't deal any damage to Kayoin if the membranes were damaged, excluding its main body, and the appearance of its humanoid form with robotic features and light-coloured armour textured similarly to that of a cantaloupe was when it's membranes solidify itself. Moreover, those connected membranes enable Hierophant Green to unwind itself into multiple strings like a spider web, restricting his opponent's movements and detects their movement when the enemy hits it.

:: Emerald Splash

Hierophant Green's most powerful ability. It gathers energy into its body, causing it to glow bright green as a green slime-like material covers its hands, before firing off a large amount of energy which takes the form of emeralds. The blast range and dispersion are comparable to shotguns, added a few buffs of strength and high speed.

Put them both together, and a well-thought plan, you'll have one of the most painful hit experience you can ever receive once the trap unravels itself one by one. Examples are during his fight with Tower and Dio.
