Nekokaburi opens with the deceptively powerful Reaching Blossom Form, rushing in to feint an attack against Tiny, then gaining a point of contact and manipulating it.

Once Nekokaburi gains a point of contact with his opponent, he uses that to defuse any attacks Tiny makes against him, and force Tiny into a situation where there is no place in the arena of battle for him - he cannot attack, cannot defend with Nekokaburi acting as his shadow, acutely aware of his next move.
