Flame Breathing

Flame Breathing (の) is one of the five main Breathing Styles directly derived from Sun Breathing.

Description
Flame Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics flames and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve extremely powerful singular strikes and movements that are so intense, it 'burns' the opponents. Users that have mastered Flame Breathing visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating fire when unleashing its techniques.

The Flame Breathing was developed by a distant ancestor of the Rengoku Family, who was originally a student of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. It can be assumed that this student attempted to master the Sun Breathing but, due to him not being as innately powerful as Yoriichi, his teacher altered his Breathing Style training in order to better focus on his students individual strengths and weaknesses. Eventually, his student continued to develop and train this style until it became its own unique breathing and was subsequently named the Flame Breathing. Since then, this particular Breathing Style has been passed down and taught through generations of his descendants and the future members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Known Techniques
Flame Breathing has 9 techniques in total, with sixth known forms and an esoteric art, Ninth Form: Rengoku being exclusive to the Rengoku family.


 * First Form: Unknowing Fire (ノ) - The user charges towards their opponent at high speed and decapitates them in one slash.


 * Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun (ノ り) - The user releases an arching slash attack upwards.


 * Third Form: Blazing Universe (ノ) - The user swings their blade downwards in an arc.


 * Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation (ノ のうねり) - The user swings their blade in a circular motion that can defend them from all incoming attacks or decapitate multiple enemies at once.


 * Fifth Form: Flame Tiger (ノ) - The user unleashes a powerful series of sword slashes that seemingly takes the form of a rampaging tiger engulfed in flames that charges towards the enemy at blinding speeds.


 * Ninth Form: Rengoku (ノ) - A devastating dashing slash that the user initiates from a high stance, the technique had enough power to carve a deep impression that burnt the ground where it was unleashed.
