Water Breathing

Breath of Water Style (の Mizu no kokyū?)[22]: Although the origin of the breath style has not been specified in the manga, it is primarily taught by Urokodaki Sakonji. The user can increase the amount of oxygen in one's blood by controlling his breathing pattern. This increases his strength and agility to equal a demon's.

Attacks

 * 1) First Style: Water Surface Slice (ノ り Ichi no kata: Minamo giri?) - The swordsman generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash.
 * 2) Second Style: Water Wheel (ノ  Ni no kata: Mizu guruma?) - The swordsman leaps and spins in the air while releasing an flowing attack in a circular motion.
 * 3) Third Style: Dance of the Rapid Current (ノ い San no kata: Ryūryū mai?) - The swordsman swings his blade at his opponent in a way that mimics the movement of waves on the surface of water.
 * 4) Fourth Style: Striking Tide (ノ ち Shi no kata: Uchishio?)[23]
 * 5) Fifth Style: The Merciful Rain of a Dry Day (ノ の Go no kata: Kanten no jiu?) - A "sword strike of kindness" that kills the target with little to no pain. Used when the enemy surrenders.
 * 6) Sixth Style: Twisting Whirlpool (ノ ねじれ Roku no kata: Nejire uzu?) - The swordsman fiercely twists his upper and lower body, creating a whirlpool that cuts anything caught in it.
 * 7) Seventh Style: Piercing Rain Drop - A fast and accurate stab. The fastest Breath of Water technique.
 * 8) Eight Style: Waterfall Jar (ノ  Hachi no kata: Takitsubo?) - The swordsman cuts the target vertically.
 * 9) Ninth Style: Water Splash (ノ  Ku no kata: Suiryū shibuki?) - Minimizes the landing time and surface needed when landing, allowing the user to move without limits. Ideal when fighting in a place with no solid foothold.
 * 10) Tenth Style: The Dragon of Change - A continuous attack that increases in power with each rotation, creating a strong slash.
 * 11) Eleventh Style: Lull (ノ  Jū Ichi no kata: Nagi?)[24] - Created by the Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu, the swordsman engages a skill that disables and nullifies incoming attacks. However, its effectiveness is limited as fast and numerous attacks can break through.
