Ok I will go deep into this.
The power of this move lies within its opening move. I will show you how and why it works that way.
There are several important things which come together to make it work the way it works. If you look at the ghost you can see that the Tori is actually falling forwards. This means the center of mass is in front of the right leg to be more accurate it is in a line between the contracted knee and Uke this contributes to a huge forward momentum when you extend the knee. The center of mass is moving even closer to uke when you raise the left shoulder, combined with the rotation of the chest and according pec movement your right leg gets pushed even more into the ground which makes you boost even more.
The next important thing is the the left hip. It controls the spin since it manipulates your spinning axis. By putting it on the ground you delay the launch off and force the right hip to put the forward momentum in a vertical spin.
The most important thing is leaning forward with contracted knee behind you. Preferably a rather extended glute.
I added a replay of the opening move so you can look at it and check if what I said is true. And well launch yourself around.
