Flower Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics both perennial flowers and fruit blossoms and replicates them with the user's movements, techniques, and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms are a combination of graceful attacks that focus on agility. This Breathing Style also enhances and utilizes one's vision, albeit at the possible cost of their eyesight. Users of Flower Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating flowers and petals when unleashing its techniques.
Flower Breathing originally has at least 7 techniques, 5 known techniques including the Final Form.
Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum (弐ノ型御影梅,Ni no kata: Mikage Ume?)[1] - The user releases several rotating sword slashes that deflects incoming physical attacks.
Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo (肆ノ型紅花衣,Shi no kata: Beni Hanagoromo?)[2] - The user unleashes single sword slash that curves and twists gracefully.
Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (伍ノ型徒の芍薬,Go no kata: Ada no Shakuyaku ?)[3] - The user unleashes a flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves.
Sixth Form: Whirling Peach (陸ノ型渦桃,Roku no kata: Uzumomo?)[4] - A technique used after or during evasion, the user spins around moving with their body weight to deliver an attack.
Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye (終ノ型彼岸朱眼,Tsui no kata: Higan Shugan?)[5] - A focusing technique that raises the user's kinetic vision to its maximum, while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion. Usage of the technique, however, is highly dangerous, as the tremendous strain on the eyes could cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to partial or complete blindness.[6] This technique is still usable even if the user only has one fully functional eye.[7]
