flower’s breath
As the name suggests, flower breathing is a breathing method that uses flowers and fruits as a basis to create attacks, moves, and techniques. It is one of two techniques derived from water breathing, along with snake breathing.
There are two known users of Flower Breath in the series, Kanae Kocho and Kana Tsuyuri. While it creates elegant moves and attacks that can greatly damage enemies, it does have some drawbacks. Users can watch the world in slow motion while using breathing techniques, but it can damage their eyes in the long run. Because it can be harmful to the user, there are other better breathing techniques to master.
love breathing
There are many cute pillars inside demon slayer, but it’s hard not to be fascinated by the Pillar of Love Temple. As a Pillar of Love, she developed a breathing method called the Love Breath, which was derived from the Breath of Fire.
Through the Breath of Love, Mitsuri can gain superhuman strength and maintain an agile figure without changing her muscle mass. Because of this, Mitsuri can deliver fast and powerful strikes, causing great damage and surprising her opponents, as her body is not matched to the power she delivers. Unfortunately, currently only Mitsuri in the series can use Love Breath, as it’s specifically suited to her body composition.
snake breath
Another breathing technique that only Ghost Slayer members can use is snake breathing. One of the strongest stigmas, Obana Neiguro, mastered water breath and refined it to come up with snake breath. Apparently, the breathing pattern mimics that of a snake, which allows users to access attacks and techniques similar to how snakes slither.
Paired with its twisting blade, Snake Breath can slice through enemies in a sinuous pattern with ease. The breathing technique also allows Obanai to quickly circle opponents and decapitate them. Due to its agility and complex movements, Snake Breath is a breathing technique that every lowly demon should fear.
sound breathing
Animation viewers haven’t been able to witness Tian Yuan Mao Zui’s voice yet, but as one of the Pillar Clan, it goes without saying that his skills must be strong to earn a place among the elite demon slayers. Tianyuan, as an individual, brings even more power to the breathing style due to his vocal analysis of enemy movements. Sound Breath is derived from Thunder Breath and is designed to confuse enemies by the loudness of the user’s actions.It has five technologies, but only three were revealed demon slayer, those that exist The first form: Roaring, the fourth form: Continuous slashing, and the fifth form: String playing. They are both useful and unique to Tengen and his large explosive Nichirin Katana.Until the Tianyuan War Sixth Rank Upper Rank [demon]no one can survive a battle with his vocal breathing technology.
wind breathing
Minya Shinazugawa is the current Fengzhu, another direct derivative of solar breathing who specializes in research. The Beast Breath Technique was derived from the Wind Breath Technique, which became the basic technique for the fine touch that Insuke Tsudahir eventually developed.
There are nine forms, ranging from the most basic dashes and slashes to one of the most powerful moves, Gale – a sudden gust of wind. Breath of Wind mimics tornadoes and other whirlwinds and is primarily used in offensive techniques.
insect respiration
Komachi Shinobi is a derivative of the water-splash breathing technique, using insect breathing. Shinobu created this technology to mimic the insect’s deadly bite and movements. Her sword is very thin and has a needle tip that replicates the function of a poison sting, injecting wisteria poison into demons.
There are four kinds of exercises, namely butterfly dance, bee sting dance, dragonfly dance and centipede dance. Shinobu coordinates the movements of butterflies, dragonflies, and centipedes with the sting and speed of bees to slay her demonic opponents.
breath of the beast
Inosuke Hashihira is an eccentric character voiced by Masatsugu Matsuoka who created Beast Breath from wind breath and is the only character to use it. This technology replicates the way wild animals move in nature, which is unpredictable and original. It has 10 “fangs,” also called shapes, that help Inosuke draw different styles of claw-like slashes.
Inosuke created the beast breathing technique while living in isolation from wild boars in the mountains. He looks like a capricious character who uses crazy tricks while fighting demons, but he also has to maintain an incredible sense of touch to adapt to his animal senses. This was evident in his fight with Eun-moo. demon slayer Movie.
mist breathing
Tokito Muichiro is the youngest of the Hashira family and a descendant of the high-ranking demon Kokushimabo. After only two months of training, he reached column status.
Breath of Mist replicates how Mist obscures and allows for quick attacks after a Chaos Cloud is created. There are six forms of mist breathing, plus a seventh developed by Muichiro. Fog Breathing is a subgenre of Wind Breathing. The seventh form, cloud cover, is the strongest use of mist breath, as it can both confuse and wrap in mist for defense and attack in the blink of an eye.
breath of thunder
Another primary form of breathing that is directly inherited from the Solar Breath, the Thunder Breath mimics the speed of lightning. Zenitsu Azuma, voiced by Hiroshi Shimono, describes it as the force flowing through the muscles and blood vessels of the legs.
While Thunder Breath has seven forms, fans have only seen how Zenithu made it his own by mastering the first form: Thunder Clap and Lightning. He developed three variants, the Sixfold, Eightfold, and Kamispeed, and a seventh form that only appeared in the manga Honoikazuchi no Kami, which allowed him to dash forward in the form of a yellow dragon-shaped lightning bolt.
water breathing
Not only is water respiration directly derived from diurnal respiration, but it has three variants of its own—flower respiration, insect respiration, and snake respiration—all forms used by Yoshiyuki Tomioka’s compatriot Pillar Respiration. It is one of the most commonly used breathing methods, first bred by Ura Kotaki Sakumi, and used by Tomioka, Murata, Mole, Masaki Shigeru, Tanjiro, and Kanzaki Aoi.
There are 10 techniques for water breathing, plus the 11th style “Death Silence” exclusively developed and used by Tomioka. As with other breathing methods, water breathing has been shown to be one of the strongest depending on how the user develops. As Tanjiro progressed towards his family’s Breath of the Sun style, fans were lucky enough to witness every form used in the anime.
breath of fire
One of the most famous hashish and a fan favorite demon slayer The character Kyojuro Renseki is the primary user of Fire Breath.Fans can see how good he has been in recent games Demon Slayer: Infinity Train Movie.
Breath of Fire has nine skills, the ninth is a specialty demon slayerThe Lianshi family. Breath of Fire harnesses the movement of fire and the user’s abilities to unleash a powerful burning attack. The key to fire breathing is visualizing the manipulation of the fire. Fire Breath allows for the creation of Love Breath, developed by another Hashira Kanroji Mitsuri to better utilize her unique muscles.
stone breath
Breath of Stone is a form that has only appeared in comics to date, and is one of the five original styles derived from Breath of the Sun. It has five known forms, all mastered by Shibashi Yukina Himejima, although they were not developed by him. Yukiaki is often called the strongest Hashira by his companions, Tanjiro Hashira and Inosuke. Blind since birth, he established a connection with the earth and mastered stone breathing in just two months.
Stone Breath has five techniques that mimic earth and stone, using the ground beneath the user to perform more powerful attacks. The form itself wouldn’t be as powerful without users like Gyomei, but it’s one of the most unique forms, making it harder to master and a more unexpected technique.
breath of the sun
Protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, voiced by Natsuki Hanae, will soon be piloting the so-called “Aichi Kagura,” or “Breath of the Sun.” This is the oldest and most powerful form of breathing used to develop the fire, water, moon, thunder, stone and wind breathing techniques used by demon slayers today. It mimics the strength and versatility of the sun, weakening the demon’s ability to regenerate.
This breathing method is still a secret kept by the Kamado family. It has 13 techniques, and unlike other schools, they are not listed as “first style” etc., but are just named according to their movements, such as “Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance”. Tanjiro hasn’t mastered it yet, but he has started using it based on water breathing, and when he channels it, he says it adds more power than water breathing.
