Description[]
Kimberly elbowing Cammy's midsection during Bushin Ninjastar Cypher.
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch, Kimberly turns on her Walkman, jamming out to the music for a second while delivering an uppercut to her opponent that launches them in the air. If it hits. Kimberly then throws up a countless amount of spray-paint cans, using them like blades to strike her opponent as she zips around while simultaneously creating a mural on the ground. She finishes the combo with a downward elbow and a final "slash" from her spray-paint, standing before the finished mural with the splashed, downed opponent laying in the middle of the artwork.
When used as a Critical Art, the elbow is replaced by a punch, then follows up with a Nue Twister.
At the end of the move, colored sound waves emit from her headphones, and Kimberly also takes on a different idle stance.
After using this Level 3, the currently playing track is overridden to a special track, which is named after this super, for the rest of the set.
Tactics[]
Kimberly punching Cammy's face during Bushin Ninjastar Cypher.
Since this is Kimberly's Level 3 Super Art, this is her strongest move in his arsenal. Bushin Ninjastar Cypher is mainly used to end combos and finish off the opponent. She can cancel Bushin Ninjastar Cypher from her normals, unique attacks, or special moves such as Vagabond Edge or Neck Hunter. When Kimberly is down to 25% or less of his health, this move gain an additional boost of damage. She is fully invincible during the startup frames of this move. Even if the opponent blocks, it can inflict a good chunk of provisional damage than may result in a chip KO if the opponent is in blocks the move while in burnout with minimal health. It also has a lengthy cinematic. This allows Kimberly to recover Drive Gauge while simultaneously draining the opponent's meter during her Super Art.
Upon completion of the move, Kimberly gains a buff that increases her attack power and walking speed are increased for the rest of the round. Because Kimberly's damage output is slightly weaker than most of the characters, it's best to perform her Level 3 Super Art as soon as possible so that she can have the increased movement and attack power throughout the rest of the match.

Trivia[]
- The Kagura part of the technique is likely named after a type of traditional Shintō sacred music and dancing that is either performed by Miko to honor the Shintō gods and spirits, or traditional folk dances performed by common folk in front of Shintō shrines. It is also the name for a type of Noh music and dance and a type of Kabuki musical accompaniment.
