Battojutsu 

Battojutsu is a Japanese term meaning techniques for engaging a sword. It is often used interchangeably with the terms iaijutsu, battodo, or iaido, although each term does have nuances in the Japanese language and different schools of Japanese martial arts may use them to differentiate between techniques (e.g. standing or sitting techniques).
The emphasis of training in battojutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendo (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.

Hitokiri Battousai 

The name given to Himura Kenshin during the Bakumatsu, the Meiji Revolution, in the anime Rurouni Kenshin. It means 'Battousai the Manslayer', when translated literally. 'Battousai' is taken from the word 'Battoujutsu', which is the art of drawing a katana and slashing with it all in one movement.

Kenshin retains the name throughout the Rurouni Kenshin OVAs and the original series. It is a name which strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies.

In the original series, Kenshin suffers from split personality disorder, one side is the humble wanderer Kenshin and the other is the Hitokiri Battousai Kenshin. This is sometimes referred to as 'transforming into the Battousai', a prospect which frightens Kenshin and his friends immensely.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
