Love Breathing

The Love Breathing (の) is a personal Breathing Style derived from the Flame Breathing.

Unlike other Breathing Styles that are based off of natural elements or phenomena, Love Breathing is based of the emotion of love. Most, if not all, techniques form a combination of whip-like attacks that utilize superhuman flexibility, dexterity, agility and speed. When used properly, the user visualizes pinkish strikes emanating from their weapon, surroundings or themselves.

This Breathing Style is the personal creation of Mitsuri Kanroji after altering the Flame Breathing to suit her needs, and therefore this can only be performed by her due the unique constitution of her body that renders her incredibly flexible and agile, but still possessing inhuman strength due to her muscles being eight times denser than a normal human's, allowing her to deliver fast and powerful blows and move unhindered due to her body not being physically bulky. It can also be assumed that this Breathing Style requirements a whip-like katana.
