Beast Breathing

Beast Breathing (の) is a Breathing Style that is distantly derived from Wind Breathing.

Description
Beast Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics Beasts/wild animals, specifically their unpredictable, ferocious and wild nature, including movements, attacks and senses, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms are simple, straightforward yet wild, unpredictable and animalistic movements and attacks, although one of them, utilizes the powerful sense of touch to replicate an animal's primal senses. Users of Beast Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly manifesting the fangs and claw slashes of a wild animal when unleashing its techniques.

Since this Breathing Style is personally created and self-taught by Inosuke Hashibira after living in the mountains and fighting for survival, it can be assumed that it can only be utilized by someone with dual Nichirin katanas and an extremely acute sense of touch.

Known Techniques
Beast Breathing has ten known techniques with an improvisation technique created during Inosuke's fight with Doma.


 * First Fang: Pierce (ノ　ちき) - The user stabs the target's neck with both blades.


 * Second Fang: Slice (ノ　りき) - The user unleashes a double slash with two blades in an X-shaped cut.


 * Third Fang: Devour (ノ　いき) - The user releases simultaneous horizontal slashes towards the target's throat to decapitate them.


 * Fourth Fang: Slice 'n' Dice (ノ　き) - The user delivers multiple diagonal double slashes with both swords.


 * Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting (ノ　いき) - The user slices everything in all directions while in mid-air.


 * Sixth Fang: Palisade Bite (ノ　み) - The user releases simultaneous slashes with two swords from both directions in a saw-like movement.


 * Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness (ノ) - The user utilizes their sense of touch to identify the position of enemies and their weaknesses by feeling small disturbances in the air. This technique was so strong that Inosuke Hashibira could sense all the demons spread out through a whole mountain.
