Thunder Cross

Thunder Cross (called Holy Lightning in North America for Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is a Duel Crush attack that involves an "x" shaped lightning to form between the partners hands. The lightning extends across the screen and slowly rotates.  It first appeared in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin as a duel crush between Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin.  In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, it is the duel crush that is used whenever a holy whip-wielding warrior (Jonathan Morris, Julius Belmont, or Richter Belmont) crushes with a female mage (Charlotte Aulin, Yoko Belnades, Shanoa).
