Things like Lightning Release Armor, Water Release: A Thousand Feeding Sharks, Edo Tensai and Earth Grudge Fear are all moves that would fit into the S-Rank Kinjutsu category. When combating such moves, it is important to note that generic S-Rank moves fail against them, though in some cases may weaken them significantly.

What are S-Rank Factor Moves?

S-Rank Factor are jutsu's that would be considered SS-rank class on many other sites. They fall into being powerful and potent, and rely more on sheer strength and amount of chakra, rather than unique and deadly things. If there is any confusion, what the difference is, its the cost of chakra, or the upkeep cost. Limelight, Kirin and Earth Release: Corpse Soil fall into S-Rank factor moves. Limelight takes 4 S rank moves to utilize, so the technique is a S-Rank Factor when used all together, as there has yet to be anything that survives such a powerful move. C0 which is an explosive release move that stores chakra for 3 posts before exploding would be a S-Rank Factor move. Such moves usually have a post charge, or a large amount of upkeep cost. Castle Closing Eight Gates would be an example of the latter, as it takes a S rank every 3 posts to maintain. 36 Layer Self Repairing barrier is an example of another one. S-Rank Factor are moves that, as such, once utilized are near unstoppable. Such as, once used Limelight would destroy and kill anyone within a 10 Kilometer square/rectangle. S-Rank Kinjutsu moves are unable to counteract there effects, even things like Susanoo and the likes wouldn't stand up against them. However, there are limits, as S-Rank Factors can stop other S-Rank Factors, Izanagi for example, Two Bijuu balls on the 36 Layer Self Repairing barrier, and such things (Combinations of S rank moves to overpower the total cost of S-Rank Factor, or two or more S-Rank Kinjutsu moves). All in all, S-Rank Factor usually come with a death wish, and are extremely potent and costly. They leave the user fatigued for 2 posts after use (or users in some cases) and at times are instant death. C0 and such moves, suicide moves. S-Rank Factor moves can't be redirected or absorbed by any means, nor can they be shunted with inventions and such.
