Essence of Full Swing is Ichiban's Final Smash.
Overview
The camera zooms in on Ichiban as he covers his bat with glowing blue energy, and the words "Essence of Full Swing" appear in front of him. After this initial cutscene, Ichiban dashes forward, spinning while covered in a blue tornado in a similar fashion to his aerial neutral special. If he makes contact with anyone in this state, the camera zooms in on him as he leaps up into the air, then slams his bat onto the ground. He then spins around and swings his bat to the side, creating a large cross shaped projectile in front of him. The camera repeats this final shot at various angles before the projectile is sent forward, launching the opponent away. The bulk of the Final Smash can only hit a single opponent, but the projectile Ichiban creates can hit additional opponents not involved in the rest of the attack.

Origin
Essence of Full Swing is a Heat Action learned by the Hero class in Yakuza: Like a Dragon at level 28. Unlike Ichiban's neutral special, which only references one part of the move, his Final Smash references the entire thing, recreating the move as best as possible within Ultimate's engine.
