0.00-0.25s: Character absorbs an impact from the right, flinching backward with the head and upper body jolting to the left. 0.25-0.55s: Character slides back slightly to the left, feet dragging, while holding the sword low as the flinch reaches peak recoil. 0.55-1.00s: Character stabilizes balance, steps forward back to center, and smoothly resets into the exact idle stance of Picture 2.
