Rurouni Kenshin is a historical action-adventure shounen manga first published in the 1990s that tells the story of an assassin turned wandering swordsman.

The tactic is described in the manga as ”a technique often used by severely outnumbered Japanese revolutionaries towards the end of the Tokugawa shogunate”.

It consists of running away from enemies, or more precisely pretending to do so. Enemies will naturally chase you, but as their individual speeds vary, they will catch up to you one by one, in order of who is faster.

When the opponent reaches you, turn around and slash him, then keep running. By repeating this, you can eliminate your opponents, or at least fend them off and make it out alive.
