Seventh Form: Thick Clouds (漆しちノ 厚いあつい雲くもShichi no kata: Atsui kumo) - A technique in which Hoshikumo drastically changes the tempo of her movement to disorient her enemy, which seemingly takes the form of clouds of mist enveloping a wide area. When she shows herself, her speed will appear to be extremely slow but when she hides, Hoshikumo moves in the blink of an eye.
Eighth Form: Merciful Evaporation (捌はちノ 慈悲深いじひぶかい蒸発じょうはつHachi no kata: Jihibukai jōhatsu) - Hoshikumo changes the grip on her sword and decapitates the opponent in a single flowing strike that causes little to no pain. It is a "sword strike of kindness" used when the enemy willingly surrenders.
