*shrug* Hard to say on the whole Zangetsu conversation. It's honestly not something I've spent a lot of time thinking on. Most of my complaints with the series have more to do with plot or the actions of certain characters, but I could see them making this type of blade thematic in a different way.
1) Most of this is fine, though I agree that the .75 might be a bit fast, especially if the main goal is to disrupt the opponent's ability to use their energy. I'd say make it .25. The opponent is consistently using up their energies, so .75 would probably reduce their energy to 0 around the same time that it would cause disruptions. .50 might not be too much either, but it's hard to say, so I'd say making it pretty small ensures that the desired effect always takes place first.
2) I think it works quite well. Instinctual as well as animalistic.
3) Is there any required delay between uses? I understand the weariness aspect, but since it has a 30 second duration, is there a time after that that the wielder is required to wait? Is the energy that you condense to start this easily visible? Are the extensions easily visible as well? Can these extensions be blocked as though they were kido spells? I understand the similarities do allow for comparisons to Getsuga Tensho, but there are differences as well. Since this lasts a while and is capable of being moved about, can it actually be used to stab and cause internal damage?
