Yes but its virtually completely useless. Its active for maybe a frame? And when it does auto-gi something, it tends to just stop and not do the other 2 hits.
But normally when a char does an aGI it creates the green arc around the char itself - in this case however the green arc is created around the opponent
Well the animation actually shows her doing a shield bash, which could translate to GI. The sword itself on the other hand, goes in a completely different direction and misses.
I am pretty sure its dependent on the angle. When you look close at zwei, you can see that he is almost perpendicular towards her. I bet its there to safe her to some degree from whiffpunishment, without giving the move better tracking than it already has.
