A second prototype appears during [[Baran]]'s battle with Dai: Baran attempts to cast a [[Kazap]] spell into his sword to perform his finishing move [[Gigabreak]], but is so exhausted that he's forced to use the weaker [[Zapple]] spell instead, resulting in an unnamed attack functionally identical to Gigaslash. Dai himself later uses this attack instinctively in order to fend off [[Hadlar]] (where it is again identified only as an imperfect Gigabreak).
