Ikaruga vs Tenten vs Shigure vs Aoi

Sword Magic: Mugetsu-Ryu (無月流 Form of the Moonless Sky): Ikaruga uses a katana named Mugetsu-Ryu.In the manga, Mugetsu-Ryu looks like a normal katana with an extremely long blade, reminiscent of a nodachi, with a decorated handguard, and traditional hilt-wrapping and pommel. In the anime, however, it is given a much more distinctive appearance, sporting a western-looking red and black handguard and having the traditional yellow and red hilt-wrapping flanked by golden-coloured plates on the hilt, wich ends in a very ornate, carved pommel. The lacquered sheath is red. Ikaruga states that it has the ability to cut through anything.

Yasha's Empty Flash (夜叉閃空 Yasha Senkū): A technique that allows Ikaruga to slash whatever she is attacking without touching it with the blade, shattering even Magic armor or weapons with one attack.

Garuda Flame (迦楼羅炎 Karura-en): A technique that creates fire from Ikaruga's blade, it has the same properties as Yasha's Empty Flash, and was powerful enough to destroy Erza Scarlet's Flame Empress Armor,[16] which is known for halving the damage inflicted by fire-based attacks.


Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Ikaruga is masterful in swordsmanship, and before her match with Erza Scarlet she had never lost a battle. She was able to easily slice and defeat Shô before he could react, and to match and even overwhelm Erza with her swordplay. She is seemingly capable of attacking things which are out of her sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself, and, according to Ikaruga, can even remain floating in it until the right moment to slash.

Immense Speed: Ikaruga was able to slice Erza and Shô, who were both some meters away from her position, without them seeing her move. She was also able to destroy Erza's Purgatory Armor before Erza could react.

While the youngest master of Ryozanpaku, Shigure has repeatedly proven herself a formidable person to face. As the successor to the Kosaka-Style, Shigure has remarkable mastery of all forms of weapon combat. Even when wielding dull utensils such as wooden spoons, her attacks have shown potentially lethal might behind them. In all the fights she has been in, she has yet to be seen receiving any major injuries even against other master-class weapon-users.

Innate Talent: Living up to one of her nicknames, Shigure since childhood has shown remarkable athleticism and skill with any tool in her hand. She could skillfully dive for fish and hit any moving target she desired as a means of fun. During her first time wielding an actual weapon against actual warriors, she left the men in awe at her ability to skillfully wield a blade more than twice her height. After her father died and she was raised by master of the Kōsaka-style, she quickly mastered all he had to teach, greatly impressing the old master. In battle, she has been able to easily overwhelm most weapon-masters at least twice her age.
Immense Speed: Shigure's attacks in battle are shown to be remarkably fast as most people cannot follow the number of strikes she launches. Even when her guard is down, she can in an instant unleash a large flurry of attacks with no wasted movement. The speed of her attacks is so great, that while playing an interactive sword-fighting video game, she discovered that she had to hold back considerably for the system to register her moves. On her feet, Shigure can out run most cars, able to easily jump from vehicle to vehicle.
Immense Agility: Shigure has demonstrated remarkable grace and balance even while performing the most basic of tasks. Regularly at home, she is seen practically climbing all over the walls to get around. In more extreme cases, she can jump across town from rooftop to rooftop, never losing control.
Stealth Master: Keeping to her ninja-like attire, Shigure is highly sneaky when she wishes. Constantly, she is seen appearing from seemingly nowhere without making a sound. Shigure has also used various camouflages to disguise her presence.
Immense Aim: Possibly her most remarkable skill, Shigure has perfect aim with any tool she handles. With projectiles, she can precisely hit any speeding and squirming target from a considerable distant. She can even strike it without hitting any vital points. At close-range, Shigure strikes can skillfully cut through targets with such precision, the sliced target can momentarily appear unaffected. Her precision was also able to destroy Boris's boots when the Sambo disciple invaded Ryozanpaku without harming his feet.

Techniques

Kousaka Slash: Her usual finishing attack. A powerful downard slash that can literally peel the thin side of a leaf into two halves. When used against opponents, she usually doesn't aim to kill so it usually cuts their clothes. Even then, the force of the attack is usually enough to stun them.

Kousaka Ryuu: Samidare Shuriken (Kousaka Style: Summer Rain Shuriken): A technique where she launches multiple shuriken at once. Her skill with this is so great that she can even change their trajectory and flight path of the Shuriken while they're still in the air.
Shinto Kourenzan: A technique where she "merges with her sword" and rapidly slashes her opponent. Said to be the highest level of sword mastery and her most powerful technique. She can perform this technique with much greater proficiency and power than most because she uses her father's last sword, which means there is a special bond between her and her sword

She uses a wooden sword in combat that she is really adept with. She can also use anything such as a ruler or umbrella like a sword and is equally effective. She uses the Shingetsu Style taught by her grandfather which also gives her the ability to break rocks barehanded.

However, unlike a good number of characters that have appeared, her physical strength appears to be about average given that she is winded after carrying a relatively small stone. She is also seen using a wooden halberd which she used to defeat a whole group of thugs with one swing.

Shingetsu (Heart Moon) Style:

Nadeshiko - A stone breaking technique
Battou-Jutsu - Sword drawing technique
Ichishiki Hagan Kiku Ichimonji (First Ceremony Wave Rock Chrysanthemum Straight Line) - Aoi draws her sword, slashing her target horizanally, then reseathes it.
Nishiki Hyakka Midare Zakura (Second Ceremony 100 Flower Storming Sakura) - Aoi slashes her opponent with a wave like pattern.
Sanshiki (Third Ceremony Upturned Swallow Tailed Eaves) - Aoi slash with a circle like pattern.

Black Techs: After being attacked by demons, she and Oga go training. After she returns, she has shown improvement in her skills, being able to use demonic power, and can fight Hilda on equal footing.

What skills she can use with demonic power has yet to be seen, though she is later seen with a large dog like familiar named Koma. So far Koma has shown that he protects Aoi from attacks, and can transfer his demonic energy into her wooden sword. After training to learn Black Techs, she begins wielding a real katana.

After her training with Ikaruga Suiten, Kunieda has further improved her Black Techs to fight on par with 5 Pillars of 34 Pillar Division at the same time.

Shingetsu (Heart Moon) Style:

2nd Stance: 100 Cleansing Petals Demon Wear: Pretty Flower Storm - A wind technique where Aoi slashes up walls and her opponents clothes.
