Kaeshi Urasaiha

The Kaeshi Urasaiha is one Young Zeku's unique attacks, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by pressing down and Heavy Punch, followed by a second Heavy Punch, Zeku crouches and delivers an open-handed chop to his opponent, swinging his attacking arm across his body in a forehand motion. Once his attack connects, Zeku swings his arm toward the opposite direction in a backhand motion, hitting his opponent a second time with another chop, knocking them backwards.

By pressing Medium Punch and Medium Kick simultaneously after the first two attacks hit the opponent, he performs the Urakagerou. Zeku delivers a straight punch toward his opponent. If the attack hits, Once the move connects, Zeku disappears in a cloud of smoke, similar to that of his Shukumyo. He reappears from a cloud of smoke in front of his opponent as Old Zeku. Finally, he delivers a spear hand strike, knocking his opponent back. By pressing and holding forward, Zeku can reappear behind the opponent.

Tactics
This move is one of Zeku's target combos. It is essentially the crouching version of Kaeshi Saiha. Compared to the standing version, the Kaeshi Urasaiha has a shorter range and is less safe on block. However, Zeku's Crouching Hard Punch has a slight faster startup than his Standing Heavy Punch. The first attack of this combo is primarily used as a mid-range poke. In addition, his Crouching Hard Punch is one of his Crush Counter moves. If Zeku manages to score a Crush Counter hit with the initial attack, it makes it easier to confirm into the second attack of the target combo.

This target combo can also be cancelled into most of Zeku's special attacks such as Hozanto, Bushin Sho, or his Critical Art. However, the target combo must hit the opponent in order for him to cancel into his special moves. Zeku can also cancel Kaeshi Urasaiha into his V-Skill to end the combo while safely changing into his older form. While it does not inflict as much damage as his other special attacks, it gives him better okizeme. By pressing forward, Zeku can switch sides with his opponent. In addition, ending the combo with his V-Skill allows him to build V-Gauge.
