5-3 is another pretty interesting stage. It's a direct fight, no movement through screens, but it adds a new gimmick: Every new section, one of your buttons will get locked.

I got killed my first run due to not knowing how to use Blade, the second because I didn't understand this and tried to use A, which of course didn't work. This time went much better.

The mission here is "Clear as Blade". This is the last "Clear as (X)" mission in the game.
