Youdantotsu (葉断突 Youdantotsu? lit. "Leaf Severing Thrust") is the technique Zero and Layer obtain after defeating Bamboo Pandamonium in Mega Man X8. Zero performs a powerful wood-element thrust attack that makes him strafe on the ground for a short distance and can break enemies' defenses if it connects. This is the same move as Bamboo Pandamonium's own Overdrive Mode attack of the same name, with the difference that Zero can perform this almost instantly as compared to Bamboo Pandamonium having to charge his claws before attacking.
