The third part of your rekka and your frame one invincible DP. On counter hit and if you have reinforcements it can convert into an infinite against a majority of the cast from any screen position.

Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Damage	Level

j.214C

Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Damage	Level
Mid	14	4	After landing 9		60	5

Your air to air combo ender that also serves as a very ambiguous cross up move.
