This whip can serve multiple purposes, one of which is its ability to stretch over long distances, allowing the user to be able to cut down large swaths of the opponent at once. Second, the "sword whip" black lightning foundation can be diluted and stretched, allowing the user to effectively trap an opponent. In Okuyuki's version, he does not use a sword as a medium, but instead uses runs the chakra through his sword hand, creates a pure black lightning sword.
