Instead of just setting fire to the Juubi, he throws it, combining it with Naruto's Rasenshuriken, creating Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero (a.k.a. Sasuke can start a fire with his eyes.Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The titular demon slayers are trained under varied swordsmanship styles, classified under natural elements such as Fire, Water and its derivatives, however, the setting really goes an extra mile to make its sword attacks look much cooler than they seem, that is by adding visual elements embedded to its strikes, all for the sake of it because the setting slightly alludes (which the author had to further confirm due some people still not getting it) to the fact none of the elemental visuals are real, as in theres no Water materializing from thin air and so forth the elements are there just because the author thought the attacks look cooler that way.The Utterly and Completely Definitive Guide to Cool.Symbolic Serene Submersion - Some examples would require extreme Super Not-Drowning Skills, but they're cool enough to let it slide.Ridiculously Potent Explosive - For when normal explosives just don't give the necessary cool-factor.Pocket Rocket Launcher: A small rocket launcher that handles like a regular firearm.Pedal-to-the-Metal Shot - Because the real way you accelerate at high speeds doesn't look as flashy.Iron Woobie (it doesn't matter that they are The Woobie as long as the good guys still stand, despite their many misfortunes, it's still cool and amazing.).Flynning (sword fights that are meant to look cool, not be realistic).Fighter-Launching Sequence (in that they can be done a lot faster in fiction than in real life).Crystal Skull (in that it doesn't matter that they were hoaxes it's still cool to have these).Basically, Rule of Cool works differently for whichever genre you're writing for.
