Blade Catcher is a useful technique in which the user catches an enemy's weapon in between their hands.
When a melee weapon or mundane projectile is launched their way, the user is capable of catching it flatly between the palms of their hands with a high chance of of success without injury. Doing so, however, requires for both hands to be empty, for the user to be wearing some form of protective hand gear (at least equivalent to leather), and for the user to be aware of the danger before it happens (e.g., surprise attacks cannot be caught).
Though the name of the technique is "Blade" Catcher, various other weapons can be caught including but no limited to arrows, boomerangs, thrown knives, thrown bombs, and blunt weapons. However, obviously some cannot, such as a spiked mace, an inflamed weapon, a Spin Attack, or most ability-based attacks.
