His long winded attack is spiral cloud passage without shockwaves. Floating passage is largely different considering he performs it in the same fight albeit with animations taken from the final string of Spiral Cloud Passage. (Wolf's Floating Passage takes his attacks from the first string of Spiral Cloud Passage in retrospect).

It's also worth noting that in the Inner fight, he learns a shinobi technique, known as "Chasing Slice". Wolf and Owl perform this technique, but Genichiro's chasing slice is more similar to Wolf's. Genichiro also unleashes it from the sheath, a detail more in-line with specifically the spear prosthetics' "Piercing Fang".

Play passively, wait for sakura dance, deflect and then use ichimonji, repeat, third phase is virtually the same but use mist raven to deflect his lighting. This was the easiest for me to pull off by far.

He has spiral cloud passage,black mortal draw(later),sakura dance,lightning of tomoe,lightning reversal and even immortality,but he can't beat a weak wolf

Here's a stupid question, how the hell do I even get to fighting this guy?
I know obviously how to get to regular Genichiro, but how do I fight Inner Genichiro?

FYI: prosthetics are a noob trap here, he WILL hit you if you dare to use them as his inner version input reads aggressively. It's some Elden Ring tier *******.

Sekiro: "HAHA I reversed your lightning!"
Geni: "HAHA I reversed your lightning reversal!"
Sekiro: "HAHA I reversed your lightning reversal reversal!"
Geni: "NANI?!?!" !SHOCK!

This is just a copy paste of regular Genichiro guide no info on his new moves.

Why does this say genichiro is using floating passage? I believe he’s using Sakura dance, that’s why it’s a reward.

A somewhat more aggressive AI: for example, at a distance Inner Genichiro will always punish attempts to heal with a bow attack

His regular version does the same though... when you heal on his 1st/2nd Phase, he will shoot you with arrow, just side step after you drink instead of deflecting.

Every time I get to his second phase, I am consistently killed by Sakura dance… huge pain in my Asshina
