Origin[]
The Blade Mode can be used in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance by Raiden. This is a bullet-time like mode where the player can control Raiden so he can perform cuts virtually on any straight direction. This mode is useful to immobilize opponents, to steal enemies' health and energy and to obtain certain objects like their ID. As this is is bullet-time like mode, its quite reasonable that the other All Stars caught in the energy field get freezed.
Trivia[]

Raiden using Blade Mode in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to dismember an enemy cyborg.
