Andrew sempai got real lucky with this shot catching it the moment after it cut through. Very often with still photos, the sword is just a blur (or maybe my camera just isn't up to it) or the target is already on the floor. Kinda why I wish I had the $750 to get the casio FX1 high speed camera some day.
This was an X cut tsubamegaesh which I pulled off successfully that time.

This looks like it was well executed. I can tell by your eyes that you were already on to the next action the moment the blade slipped through. Blink of an eye really. I often dont like the stills of myself cutting because I often have my eyes closed it seems, though I dont ever remember blinking. I think the inverted draw is hard to pull off, looks like you did it pretty well here. Excellent!
