The Sankon Tessō (Kanji: 散魂鉄爪, Hiragana: さんこんてっそう, English: Soul-scattering Iron Claws, Dub: Iron Reaver Soul Stealer), is an attack in the manga and anime InuYasha. Sankon Tessō is used by the fictional character InuYasha whereby he swipes his claws through the air and sends yellow yoki shockwaves toward his opponent or some other object targeted for destruction. This is InuYasha's primary mode of attack when he is not wielding his sword, Tessaiga. Direct contact with his claws is not necessary to cause severe damage to an opponent, as the shockwaves themselves are often what slash the opponent to pieces.
