How to defeat Ashina Elite - Jinsuke Saze?

The glow on Jinsuke's sword informs you that the enemy is about to strike.

The best way to defeat Jinsuke Saze is to deflect his attacks at the right moment. Start parrying as soon as you see that the enemy is about to unsheathe his sword - his rapid combo can deplete your entire health bar. You don't need to use any prosthetic tools or attacks although Loaded Spear or Axe will help you decrease his posture. Reduce his health bar a bit by performing fast attacks after deflecting to slow down his posture regeneration. Jump up or backward when the mini-boss is about to use his special attack - this move is almost a complete spin.
