Youdantotsu (葉断突 lit. "Leaf Severing Thrust") is the technique Zero and Layer obtain after defeating Bamboo Pandamonium in Mega Man X8. Zero performs a wood-element thrust attack that makes him strafe on the ground for a short distance and can break enemies' defenses if it connects. This is the same move as Bamboo Pandamonium's own Overdrive attack of the same name, with the difference that Zero can perform this almost instantly as compared to Bamboo Pandamonium charging first. Lumine also uses this technique during his fight against Zero, X, and Axl in Normal and Hard modes.

If performed with the D-Glaive, the move becomes Renyoudan (連葉断 lit. "Chained Leaf Sever") instead, a series of quick stabs with the glaive. It is functionally similar to Youdantotsu.

This technique is Optic Sunflower's primary weakness, but it can be difficult to use in the battle against him as it can only be performed on the ground, so the only chance Optic Sunflower can be hit with this move is when he appears on the ground of the boss room. If Optic Sunflower summons plant clones when he reappears, the clones can be destroyed using this technique.

Zero has a command normal called Youdantotsu in the English version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. However, in the Japanese version it is called Youdansen (葉断閃 "Youdansen", lit. "Leaf Severing Flash"), and Zero calls this name when using it even in English. It is a quick horizontal slash that was originally his Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 standing medium attack (based on his second Z-Saber combo slash in X4 and X5). Like many command normals in Infinite, it can be chained into other normals.
