When the sword hits the ground, it explodes, and an anchor is released from the sword. This anchor is much like Mega Man X's version of Metal Anchor -- it bounces around for while until it explodes and disappears, however, Zero's anchors last for a shorter time. Zero can have more than one anchor on the screen if the player is able to preform Rakukoujin quick enough. Rakukoujin can be used to destroy the otherwise indestructible Nightmare Iron blocks in certain stages. Preforming Rakukoujin does not consume Weapo
