Death God Taijutsu :"Punihsment" Stance (死神体術「罰」の構え,Shinigami Taijutsu Batsu no Kamae) is one of the various stances Kid use with his Death God Taijutsu.
He used this stance in order to counter Mosquito's Form from 400 years ago, whose speed and barrage of razor sharp "bats" proved to be too difficult to defeat until Kid assumed this stance.[1]
Description
With one of the Lines of Sanzu connected,[1] Kid raises both of his arms up in the air, irregularly crossing them as his left goes right behind his right leg. He also momentarily looks up before looking towards his opponent. One arm is looking straight upwards while the other is bent towards the opponent. This stance also is one featuring the Demon Twin Guns.[1]
The stance itself allows Kid to have a more defensive style. He even noted it to be more defensive then his "Crime" stance.[2] It also allows him to anticipate and interpret his opponent's next move[3] and even utilize the Death Arm Blocking spell, a variant of the Death Block move his father uses.[1]
