Elegant

Elegance

Elegance is considered to be the "most beautiful technique of all warriors," thus earning her the title "Hysteria the Elegant."[1] Hysteria (the Organization's former No. 1) is the creator of this technique.

Usage[]

According to Miria, Hysteria's technique is similar to her Phantom Mirage, requiring a large burst of yoki to greatly increase speed. It is an offensive technique as it involves stepping forward, slipping past an opponent's side, and then moving behind them in order to strike. The proximity of the after-image is such that it appears as if the user had slipped through her opponent's body.

However, as noted by Miria, Hysteria has a critical weakness to it; and that is the fact that during the quick burst of speed and the attack she inflicts on her opponent, Hysteria moves so fast that she herself is unsure if the wounds she inflicts on her target is deep/lethal enough to kill her opponent. As shown where Miria was able to avoid being cut too deeply by Hysteria by moving her body away right as Hysteria is about to attack.

Elegance and Phantom Mirage[]

The difference between the two techniques lies in the very nature of their usage—Miria uses her technique to get some distance from her opponent while Hysteria uses hers to get in close. Miria also states that though the speed of both techniques is roughly the same, the precision of Hysteria's movements is on an entirely different level.
