Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing kick, Juri swings her foot upward to gather and store some dark energy for her next attack. Each Kick input stores a different kind of attack that is obvious on the bottom of the screen, next to Juri's V-Gauge.
In Street Fighter 6, Juri already has access to the kick special moves. By performing a Fuhajin, Juri increases her Fuha Stock by one to enhance her special moves.
Description
Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing kick, Juri swings her foot upward to gather and store some dark energy for her next attack. Each Kick input stores a different kind of attack that is obvious on the bottom of the screen, next to Juri's V-Gauge.
After storing, if the same move is performed, Juri releases one of the stored attacks, depending on the kick input pressed.
- Saihasho: By performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing Light Kick, Juri releases a projectile that travels along the ground at a low height.
- Ankensatsu: By performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing Medium Kick, Juri performs a short turn hop and swings her leg downward with an energy-filled axe kick.
- Go Ohsatsu: By performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing Heavy Kick, Juri performs two consecutive, energy-filled, horizontal kicks.
The EX special version hits her opponent four times and knocks down the opponent. It seems like Juri executes the Fuharenkyaku attacks as she does after storing, but in a particular order: LK-HK-MK.
Tactics
Fuharenkyaku is a very versatile move. The 'storing' attack inflicts a small amount of damage and can be cancelled off of most of Juri's normals. Fortunately, it is fairly safe on block. Although it is -2, it can be difficult for her opponent to punish her. However, each move requires Juri to charge and store the attack before executing. In addition, once Juri performs the stored attack, she has to recharge and restore the move again. In addition, the stored attacks can be stringed together by performing quickly the same attack with different kick inputs in the row, regardless of the row of the kick inputs.
Each variation of moves serves its own unique purpose. The Light version is one of Juri's mid-range attack. While the projectile does not travel fullscreen like most fireballs do, it can go underneath other projectiles as a way to open up "zoning" characters. Additionally, the Light version is the safest among Juri's Fuharenkyaku attacks, making it challenging for her opponent to counter, even on block.
The Medium version is both a combo extender and a combo ender. It can be linked into or from Juri's normals or another Fuharenkyaku attack. Despite the appearance of the move, this version is not considered an overhead, meaning that her opponent can still block it by standing or crouching. Among the Fuharenkyaku attacks, the Medium version has the longest startup. It is also less safe on block at -4, making Juri vulnerable against most characters' Light-confirms. However, it inflicts a decent amount of damage on it's own. In addition, it is +6 on hit, allowing Juri to follow-up with Crouching Medium Punch and cancelling into her special attacks.
Similar to the Medium version, the Heavy version is also considered a combo extender and ender. While it is the least safest on block at -6, this move has the fastest startup and inflicts the most damage. It also results in a knockdown. The Heavy version can also be stringed into or from Juri's normals or other Fuharenkyaku attacks.
The EX version requires one bar of Juri's Critical Gauge. However, this version can be used without the requirement of storing any of the Fuharenkyaku attacks. Just like the Light version, it is also -2 on block. The EX version is mainly used as a combo ender. This version create separation between her opponent, thus resetting the neutral game and giving Juri enough time to store her attacks.
During V-Trigger, the Fuharenkyaku attacks do not need to be stored. However, they are executed immediately, depending on the kick input pressed. The attacks seem to have the same animation. The Light version projectile ravels much farther and faster. It hits her opponent twice and puts them in a juggle state, allowing Juri to string Fuharenkyaku moves for extra damage.

Trivia
- The move is similar to Fuhajin, one of Juri's special moves in Super Street Fighter IV that is actually executed performing the same input. However, the Fuharenkyaku has completely different properties. The move cannot be held as it used to and is immediately stored.
