TO cut somone (usually with a samurai sword) with such skill and speed that they do nor tealise they have been cut untill you`v struck a cool pose or killed their buddies, then they either slowly slide in half or explode in a bloody um...explosion...

this effect is used in movies such as kill bill and many animes but it only received a name after the game Shinobi was released for the playstation 2 in 1999 (?)
