Situational "can use when target is < 20% hp for 10 kenki" when you already get excessive kenki due to lack of a second kenki spender means this is extremely unlikely to make the cut. Also let's see how long 20% hp lasts in savage. Is it like 2-3 minutes? You get 2-3 uses of this skill over an 8-11 minute fight to get a grand total of 20-30 kenki, translating to 1 shinten, and about 500 potency in total. To me that sounds like a waste of a button, but if that seems like a valid use case for you, then you might want to support an even more valid use case that Kaiten provided (which I see you have not, in the thread that someone painstakingly went to compile every Kaiten-supporting thread in).
    Removal of Kaiten, doesn't bother me that much. Yes it's a great boost in damage yes, it feels good to hit the button but Ageha can also be re-worked so that it doesn't require the target to be below 20% HP to use it. But honestly, Kaiten advantage heavily on gear. People who have better ilvl gear or sub-stats benefit from kaiten the most, not saying Kaiten doesn't help everyone but some people get more than others. Therefore I can understand why JP players want it back as well as EN especially those who likes to min-max everything and aiming for orange/gold or pink parse. To me, I don't really miss it. Not that I didn't always use it in the past. Whether SE adds it back or not, it's all the same to me. But I am rooting for every samurai players that are chasing Kaiten back. I only voiced my honest opinions in that post that you mentioned and in this post. Whether you agree with me or not, is a different story. I'm just here to play the game and enjoy my time and to be honest Kaiten makes it slightly less enjoyable for me.
