Revision as of 09:53, 8 February 2020

The Breath of the Sun (日 (ひ) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) Hi no kokyū?) is a style of swordsmanship utilized by the first Demon Slayer to use "breaths", Yoriichi Tsugikuni and serves as the basis for other Breath Styles derived from it as a result of Yoriichi changing the breathing techniques to suit the individuals he taught.[1] The derived styles eventually branched out into the main breaths: Breath of Water, Breath of Flames, Breath of Wind, Breath of Thunder, Breath of Stone and Breath of the Moon. Before Kokushibo died, he mentions that all swordsman who knew of the Breath of the Sun were killed by him and Muzan Kibutsuji, before proceeding to question why the Breath of the Sun still persists due to the existence of the Dance of the Fire God (ヒノカミ神楽 (かぐら) Hinokami Kagura?)[2]

Shinjuro Rengoku also independently identified the Dance of the Fire God as the Breath of the Sun through the memoirs of his Demon-slaying ancestor[3]. However, Tanjiro remained uncertain of the breath style's true nature until he gained access to his ancestor's, Sumiyoshi's, memories. His ancestor's wife, Suyako, requested to see the Breath of the Sun performed during Yoriichi's last visit to the family. Sumiyoshi memorized the movements and was gifted the hanafuda earrings by Yoriichi before parting. The breath style and earrings are then secretly passed on from father to son in the Kamado family every generation. Henceforth, the Breath of the Sun became known as the Dance of the Fire God.

The Kamado family uses the breath style within a ritual ceremony practiced every new year, where the user offers the Fire God a dance composed of 12 segments repeated from sunset to sunrise to ward off diseases.[4] A 13th style can be used by utilizing all 12 styles in succession. The last user is Tanjiro Kamado, who learned the breath style from his father, Tanjuro Kamado.

The user utilizes a similar method like the Thunderclap and Flash technique of the Breath of Thunder, allowing him to use an advanced version of Dance by inhaling huge amounts of oxygen, increasing the pumping of blood through the entire body, focusing it on the legs, and releasing it all to assault the target with a slash.

  • Flame Dance (炎 (えん) 舞 (ぶ) Enbu?)[19] - A two-combo strike which starts with a vertical slash and then a horizontal one right after.
  • Thirteenth Style [20] - The user continously performs all twelve forms of the breath style in repetitive succession to increase the accuracy and agility of his movements.
