Sound Breathing

Sound Breathing (の) is a Breathing Style derived from Thunder Breathing.

Overview
Sound Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics sound, specifically its disorientating loudness, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms utilize explosives to deal massive amounts of damage while making use of extremely fast movements similar to how fast sound travels as well as the user's sense of hearing.

The only known user, Tengen Uzui uses a technique developed using his superhuman sense of hearing called Musical Score, which involves Tengen reading his opponents movements and deconstructing them into sound by analyzing the rhythm of their movements. Through this, he is able to take advantage of their openings to much greater effect by striking in a way similar to making the beat to a song. In conjunction with this, he uses small but powerful anti-demon bombs that are capable of damaging the bodies of Upper Rank demons.

Since this combat style was created by Tengen, it can only be used with a specific set of weaponry, which is two gigantic nunchucks-like Nichirin Cleavers, which each have a notch in the sharp ends of their blades and are held together at the hilt by a metal chain. His swords are said to have large amounts of explosive power, and it is stated that, until Tengen's fight with Upper Rank Six, no one had ever survived a blow from them.

Known Techniques
Sound Breathing has 5 techniques and forms at minimum, with 3 known techniques.


 * First Form: Roar (ノ) - The user lifts their twin swords above their head and slams them down with great force, causing a loud sound resembling thunder as a result.


 * Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes (ノ) - The user holds their twin swords apart and spins them rapidly around themselves, enabling the blades to destroy anything it makes contact with for powerful defensive capabilities around the user.


 * Fifth Form: String Performance (ノ) - The user holds the chain of their twin swords and rotates the blades at high speed while charging forward. The spin of the blades without changing grip allows for continual slashes while still being in motion.

Game Exclusive Techniques

 * Rising Kick (ちげり) - The user takes a forward front-step followed by a high-rising side-kick launching their opponent into the air.


 * Fifth Form: String Performance, Bursting Bloom (ノ　・) - The user engages at their opponent unleashing a flurry of rotating slashes and chops with their swords. The final hit launches the opponent high in the air, making the user toss a plethora of explosive beads while throwing their chained swords in a boomerang-like style cutting all the beads to detonate them.
