Thunder Breathing

The Breath of Thunder (の), or Breath of Lightning in some publications, is one of the five main Breath Styles directly derived from the Breath of the Sun. The Breath Style like all others was originally the result of one of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Students who attempted to learn the Breath of the Sun, but due to not being as innately powerful as Yoriichi, they were instead taught an alternated breath style that focused on their individual strengths and weaknesses, that eventually evolved into its own unique breath style, The Breath of Thunder.

It focuses on channeling strength into the user's legs. The primary cultivator for the Demon Slaying Corps was Jigoro Kuwajima.

Attacks
There are a total of six original styles that can be used with the Breath of Thunder with the first style said to be the foundation for the rest of them. However, Zenitsu Agatsuma developed a seventh style in order to stand on equal ground with Kaigaku, his former senior disciple under Jigoro who had become the Upper Moon Six of the Twelve Demon Moons, replacing Daki and Gyutaro.


 * First Style: Thunderclap and Flash (ノ)  - The user dashes forward and slashes at their opponent with incredible speed. Zenitsu has honed this ability to the extent of being able to repeat the dash multiple times in quick succession.
 * Six Fold  - A compilation of the First Style with a series of six dashes. Primarily used by Zenitsu.
 * Eight Fold - Zenitsu dashes eight times within one use of this technique.
 * God Speed - Further augments the speed of Thunderclap and Flash.
 * Second Style: Lightning Ball (ノ) - The swordsman is able to generate five straight attacks around the user in a single moment.
 * Third Style: Buzzing Mosquito Thunder (ノ)  - Generates a spinning wave of lightning in all directions.
 * Fourth Style: Distant Thunder (ノ)  - The user releases multiple ranged strikes towards a target.
 * Fifth Style: Heat Lightning (ノ)  - A single, focused, slashing attack.
 * Sixth Style: Electric Lightning Shower (ノ)  - A series of strong ranged attacks released around the user.
 * Seventh Style: Flaming Thunder God  (ノ) - A form developed by Zenitsu. The user conjures the image of a dragon-like creature of lightning while attacking at blinding speeds.
