Akui had it planned out from the moment he Taiki instructions hit his ear. Taking out the clones were a minor inconvience that he wanted to avoid but couldn't. His real objective was to get close enough for Taiki to test his attacks in kenjutsu against Taiki. However it seemed that taiki didn't catch onto the pattern of Akui going for lower half with his attacks. Thinking he was going to use his tanto with earth release, Akui would infuse lightning chakra into his blade. When Taiki raised his foot, akui switched where he held the blade to be over his head so the flat part would be directed to his foot. He would then begin to infuse his weapon with lightning chakra from both ends. The desired resulte would be to shock Taiki to make him numb. Akui felt sure he had him seeing how he chose to leave himself open. Had akui any true killer instinct, he would have just raised his blade and let gravity chop off Taiki's leg.

However, Akui did not account for strength and thus, Taiki's foot came down hard on Akui's head. He ate a mouthful of dirt but he had hoped his attack would have worked still.
