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 has been developed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni for Demon Slayers, who could not use the Breath of the Sun. The same is applicable for the other main Branch Breath Styles.

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. However, Zenitsu Agatsuma developed a seventh style in order to stand on equal ground with Kaigaku, his former senior disciple under Jigoro.


 * First Style: Thunderclap and Flash (ノ)  - The user dashes forward, unsheaths their sword, then 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. Due to it's quick nature, Kaigaku likely cannot use this attack because he puts his sword on his back, unlike Zenitsu who puts his sword on his hip.
 * 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.

Trivia

 * This Breath Style is very similar to the real life fighting style of Iaijutsu.
