Sun breathing (2024)

FAQs

What does sun breathing do? ›

Users of Sun Breathing visualize themselves seemingly manipulating solar flames when unleashing its techniques. Tanjiro noted that using this style increases his overall power and speed, which may be due to the fact that his body is more suited to Sun Breathing as opposed to Water Breathing.

Yoriichi was the very first user of the Breathing Styles and he came up with Sun Breathing, a powerful breathing form that is known to be the most effective against demons.

Yes. He is indeed a Breath of the Sun user. His family passed down the secrets of the Breath of the Sun in the form of the Dance of the Fire God, the Hinokami Kagura - A clever way to preserve the techniques without painting a target on themselves.

14. Fourteenth Form: Fire Circular Slash (Jushi no Kata: Enkei sōkon) - Kasuke creates single circular arched slash that increase in size from concentrated his target.

Tanjiro's scar explained

Tanjiro received the scar during his childhood when he met with an accident. A kettle containing boiling tea was about to fall on his younger brother when Tanjiro rushed to save him.

8 Tanjiro Is The Only Living User

On the other hand, Sun Breathing can, presently, only be performed by Tanjiro Kamado. Though its techniques can be taught to others provided they have the guidance of a Kamado, there are no other known users who are currently alive.

Yoriichi almost killed Muzan using Sun Breathing, but to idealize that the Demon King was aware of Yoriichi passing down Sun Breathing as “Hinokami Kagura” to the Kamados is a remote possibility.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni performing all twelve forms of the Sun Breathing. The Hinokami Kagura is later revealed by Shinjurō to be a legendary Breathing Style known as Sun Breathing ( 日 ひ の 呼 こ 吸 きゅう , Hi no kokyū^?), a long forgotten Breathing Style and the first one to ever be created.

Died From Exertion While Fighting Muzan

Yoriichi very nearly killed Muzan then and there, potentially ending his reign of terror decades earlier, but the exertion was too much for his old body, and Yoriichi died partway through his finishing blow.

Sun can only be obtained by fighting Yoriichi and can only be used by Humans over level 150. It functions as a secondary breathing. It has a chance of 10%.

Is Tanjiro a Hashira? ›

Although Tanjiro was on his path to becoming a Hashira. With Muzan gone, there was no need for the Demon Slayers Corps, hence he did not become a Hashira.

Yoriichi realizes that his Bright Red Nichirin Sword would work instantly on the Demon King when he kills him decisively, but before doing so he has a question for him. He asks Muzan, "What is the value of a life to you?", but Muzan remains silent and only stares at him.

Although Tanjiro has the same earrings, breath style, hair and mark as Yoriichi, he is not related to him, but rather, Yoriichi is an extremely close family friend of Tanjiro's family. This means Muichiro and Tanjiro are in fact NOT related. I hope this helped :D.

Flame Breathing is a weaker version of Sun Breathing. The Rengoku family are the known users of this technique. There are 12 known forms of Sun Breathing and only 9 known forms of Flame Breathing. All types of breathing come from Sun Breathing, including Flame Breathing.

It's worth noting that moon breathing requires. an extremely long blade to reach its full potential. If you use a short blade, you can only perform the first 6 forms of the technique, so moon breathing is far weaker than sun breathing.

Breath of the Sun

It's the oldest and most powerful breathing style that was used to develop the Flame, Water, Moon, Thunder, Stone, and Wind Breathing techniques that demon slayers use to this day. It mimics the intensity and versatility of the sun, lessening a demon's ability to regenerate.
