The Eight Death Sword (八殺剣, Hachi Yaken) is a fighting style seen in Suikoden II.
Information
This fighting style is the sword technique used by Shin. It has this name because it can be used by its practitioner to attack from eight directions. Also because of this, the tarantula is often used as a symbol for this style.
