Breathing styles are special techniques used by Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) characters. Almost all of them repeat natural elements such as fire and water, but there are also derivative styles such as love, insect, or beast breathing.
Each technique has its own characteristics and unique traits that are inherent to the wearer. All styles are beautifully animated and a visual spectacle. But which are the most popular with fans? Let's find out.
5. Beast Breathing
Beast Breathing doesn't really impress with its animation, although it can't be called much worse than the others, but with the story of its appearance. The style was developed by Inosuke through self-study. So far he is the only bearer of this technique. Beast Breathing is very expressive, just like its creator. The attacks are like the unpredictable wild beast movements. Definitely one of the most memorable styles!
4. Thunder Breathing
Thunder Breathing was demonstrated by another Demon Slayer protagonist — Zenitsu. Unlike Inosuke, Zenitsu did not develop this technique on his own, but learned it from his teacher Jigoro Kuwajima, the former Thunder Hashira. Thunder Breathing is characterized by quick lunge attacks that imitate a lightning strike. This technique is beautifully animated, but perhaps the greater effect is that Zenitsu's style is very different from his usual behavior.
3. Mist Breathing
The most mysterious and enigmatic is Mist Breathing. The only known holder of this technique is Hashira Muichiro. His reserved personality and calmness fit the style well. Probably everyone remembers Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds, when Muichiro literally dissolved into mist, disorienting his enemy.
2. Flame Breathing
Perhaps a lot of love for this style comes from fans' affection for its bearer — Rengoku. Despite the fact that Rengoku dies quite early, we were able to enjoy Flame Breathing to the fullest. This style is one of the most powerful and is passed down through the character's family. Unlike other techniques, Rengoku's attacks are the most colorful and even look like a dance. His battle with Akaza is still considered one of the best in Demon Slayer, and for some even the best. Ninth Form: Rengoku is impossible to forget.
1. Water Breathing
The most popular among fans is Water Breathing. Not surprisingly, this technique is possessed by the main character Tanjiro, so we see it a lot. But that's not the only reason. Many note its soothing nature and beauty. Water Breathing attacks are very flexible and resemble meandering water streams. The design of this breath is similar to the paintings of the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. What could be better?
So hard to choose!
