Chest (チェストオッ?) is Tanaka Shinbei's Noble Phantasm. It is the culmination of his Jigenryu swordplay, a style centered on killing the enemy with a single strike.[1][2]
It is an attack so powerful that Takasugi Shinsaku claims he doesn't stand a chance against it.[3] He first used it in the Showa Restoration Singularity against Mysterious Ranmaru X, however, Mori Nagayoshi saved her by shielding her with his own body. Mori survived the blow, however, the amount of damage was so great that he couldn't move afterward for the rest of the fight despite being shown wearing his Heroic Spirit Restraint Armor Type A. Oryou claims that Mori's Saint Graph was on the verge of collapsing from that wound. Furthermore, since Ritsuka Fujimaru uses a lot of Magical Energy just keeping Mori around, it was up to Oryou to heal him with her saliva.[4] In another occasion, Tanaka utilized Chest to destroy Izumo-no-Okuni's Bounded Field restraining Nobunaga's head abilities.[1] Lancer Sakamoto Ryouma is the only person to have ever been shown taking a direct blow from this attack without any signs of strain or difficulty.[5]
Okada Izou copied it with his Settlement Sword, and has used it on multiple occasions. In Fate/type Redline, he uses it against Okita Souji.[6] He used it against Tanaka during the Showa Restoration Singularity as well.[7]

An ancient sword fighting style passed down in the Satsuma domain. This is a fighting style that aims to end a fight with the first strike, which is usually accompanied by a battle cry. Back in the Bakumatsu period, Shinsengumi's captain, Kondo Isami would tell his men ‘When fighting someone from Satsuma, make sure to evade the first strike'. Assassin comes from Tosa, so the reason he could make use of this is due to his peculiar aforementioned skill, which has allowed him to kill many opponents on their first encounter. Saber could have never predicted that someone who spoke in Tosa dialect would use Jigen-Ryu, so there's a possibility that she would have died had it not been for her Eye of the Mind skill.示現流 []
