Distortion Drive

A Distortion Drive is a Special move that consumes 50% of the Astral Gauge for everyone except Hakumen: Since he does not use a Astral Gauge to execute his Distortion Drives, they cost Magatama for him, Magatama being the little orbs near where his Astral Gauge would be.

Every character has their own Distortion Drives and the way of executing it varies between characters.
