Water Breathing

Breath of Water (の), also known as Water Breathing in the English dub, is one of the five main Breath Styles directly derived from the Breath of the Sun. The Breath Style was originally created by one of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's students who attempted to learn the Breath of the Sun, but, due to not being as innately talented as Yoriichi, they were instead taught and trained an alternative personalized breath style that focused on their strengths and weaknesses, eventually becoming the Breath of Water. .

It is said to be the most common Breath Style among Demon Slayers due to being the easiest to learn for beginners. The primary Cultivator for the Demon Slayer Corps is Sakonji Urokodaki, though there are other Cultivators as well. The Eleventh Form is an original technique created by Giyu Tomioka.

Attacks
There are ten known Forms, with an eleventh one created and exclusively used by Giyu Tomioka.
 * 1) First Form: Water Surface Slash (ノ り)  - The swordsman generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash.
 * 2) Second Form: Water Wheel (ノ)  - The swordsman leaps and vertically spins forward in the air while releasing a flowing attack in a circular motion.
 * 3) *Lateral Water Wheel - An alternate variation of Second Form: Water Wheel that uses a horizontal spin.
 * 4) Third Form: Flowing Dance (ノ い)  - The swordsman swings his blade at his opponent in a way that mimics the movement of waves on the surface of water.
 * 5) Fourth Form: Striking Tide (ノ ち) - The swordsman makes multiple consecutive slashes while twisting their body in a flowing fashion similar to a harsh tide.
 * 6) Fifth Form: Blessed Rain After the Drought  (ノ の)  - A "sword strike of kindness" that kills the target with little to no pain. Used when the enemy surrenders.
 * 7) Sixth Form: Whirlpool (ノ ねじれ)  - The swordsman fiercely twists his upper and lower body, creating a whirlpool that cuts anything caught in it.
 * 8) Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust Curve (ノ き) (Drop Ripple in English Dub) A fast and accurate stab. The fastest Breath of Water technique.
 * 9) Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin (ノ)  - The swordsman cuts the target vertically.
 * 10) Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow - Turbulent (ノ)  - 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.
 * 11) Tenth Form: Constant Flux (ノ) - A continuous attack that increases in power with each rotation, creating a strong slash.
 * 12) Eleventh Form: Dead Calm (ノ)  - Created by the current Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka. The swordsman ceases any body movements and enters a state of complete defence, deflecting and blocking any incoming attacks with imperceptible speed. However, its effectiveness is limited as fast and numerous attacks can break through.
