[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics
Shirahadori, also known as Blade Grasp, is reaction ability in Final Fantasy Tactics. The Samurai class learns it for 700 JP. This ability lets the unit avoid any physical attacks easily, excluding arrow/bolt attacks (but not abilities that ignore Evasion. This glitch was not fixed in the PSP port.)
This is widely-known as a highly unbalanced ability to have, since its success rate is equal to the amount of Bravery a character has. Therefore, if a character with 100 Bravery equips Shirahadori, he or she will evade all non-ranged physical attacks completely.
[edit] Name
Shirahadori comes from Shinken Shirahadori (神剣白羽鳥), meaning "live blade catching", an extremely dangerous technique used to catch blades using only hands, as written in the book Classical Weaponry of Japan: Special Weapons and Tactics of the Martial Arts.
