ABE made "Mino gakoi" and advanced it "Taka mino gakoi" . SATO made "Ibisha Anaguma" . After finished making Kakoi , SATO started attacking with P-6e .
This is very simple but sometimes very effective attack . If your opponent uses "Shiken Bisha" , "Sanken Bisha" , or even "Yagura gakoi" , "Migi Shiken Bisha" may become a strong weapon for you .
