I made 38 today and I went for Kuji-In Retsu, I was never really hyped up for this move, and was torn between Blinding powder (for the confusion) and this.
But seeing as this was the 38 move, I went for it...
and by the gods, I didn't think playing a Stalker would get any more entertaining, but it has!
A perfect example is that area where the High Lv Freaks hang in St Martial, there were 3 groups there with bosses, I took them all down single handedly, my team members were over yonder kicking some boss in, but I wanted to push Retsu to its limits, and it did not dissapoint!
I was taking down 38's and 40's very quickly thanks to the enhanced speed movement which I didn't think would be all that useful, and then there's the fact that none of them could lay a finger on me. XD All 3 groups owned within 30 seconds, groups of 4 and 5 they were.
Another example is me fighting Infernal , I had my friend LKed (he's a Lv 28) and whilst he was trying to keep himself and Ninja alive, I was fighting Toe to Toe with Infernal, it was somthing I never thought I'd see a Stalker do, but we got him to about Half HP and my friend died, and I had to flee because I could sense Retsu closing down anytime and all my end would've been drained.
My most glorious example is in Warburg...I had like 6+ heroes on me. XD now I know how Ice Duke feels. >=)
This is also perfect for uninterrupted Assassin strikes! As the enemy tries to pound on you, you don't flinch!
That said, you CAN get hit during retsu, but the chances are rather slim and because it has defense buff it's not all that cause for concern as it's quite a nice buff. ^^
Anyhow, all in all I've been extremely impressed with this Ninjitsu defensive set and welcome it fully, my only gripe with it is Smoke Flash I think it's called, which I had to respec out because it's awful and useless I'm sorry to say. If they sped it up, increased the AoE and got it working for PvP then we'd have somthing worth using, otherwise I'd save that move chance for somthing better!
So the moves enhancements are
Defense: Very nice buff, for those times you do get hit, you just Kuji-in Sha yourself back to safety as this good Def buff allows it. >=D
Recovery: This has got to be the Endurance because you hardly ever have to worry about it! Unless of course you're desperatly trying to get a repeated AS strike in, still it recovers at a rapid pace.
Speed: Like it says you can run fast good for making time with Retsu, that's a certain. Your jumping also improves too, so you can jump slightly higher, I don't see the point, but you never know when it may save your [censored] some day.
Res Debuffs: I thinkit's either all or msot Debuffs, yeah it works, but I don't pay major attention to this anyway lol.
+Special Not quite sure what this is, AS does special Damage so could it mean this? I've had a look and I can't say I notice a change.
Anyhow I need to get experimenting with this more anyway.Tthose of you that have Kuji-In Retsu and can shed some further light, or add to what I've missed, that would be appreciated. =)

Only thing I know, is that it has the worst animation EVER.

I'd have to agree, a basic bow ;bow is hardly worthy of it's greatness, I was expecting some bad-[censored] Ninja arm movement!
