5 basic schools

The basic style is breathing fire, water, wind, rock, and thunder, and other styles are derived from these five. Fire and water have an ancient history, and pillars of fire and water have always existed in all eras.

According to Tanjiro's master Urokodaki, it is common for swordsmen to change the breathing they are using to suit their own aptitude, and to develop new breathing techniques. From here, we have described the characteristics and types of each type of breathing.

water breathing

Breathing is characterized by its flexible movements like water. It is the oldest breathing technique, and has the most types and is the most effective, so it requires a lot of moves, such as being hit by enemy techniques. There is only one technique that allows demons to die without causing pain.

Breathing sounds are ``huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu?uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... To improve the technique, you need to have a calm mind like the surface of the water.

water breathing

breathing of the sun

The breathing of the sun was used only by swordsmen with earrings. The Nichirin Sword transforms into Kessai, which boasts the most powerful power among all the breaths.

In fact, the Kagura dance ``Hinokami Kagura'' that has been passed down in Tanjiro's family for generations was a version of the 12 Kata of the Breath of the Sun that was passed on to future generations in the form of a dance.

moon breath

Moon Breathing is the breathing (blood demon technique) used by Kuroshimu, the first of the Twelve Demon Moons and the First Quarter. The Nichirin Sword is purple in color, and the breathing sound that triggers it is "hooooooo".

When a demon with high regenerative power and physical ability uses breathing, it becomes possible to have extremely high attack power and high speed movement. There is also type 16, which is the most common of all types of respiration.

He uses a sword called Kyokoku Kamusari, which is made from the blood and flesh of Kuroshimu, and uses the countless eyes attached to it to manifest the power of the moon.
