⚠️ Attention: This list may contain significant story revelations from the Demon Slayer anime and manga. Proceed with caution if you wish to avoid major spoilers.

Summary

Hashira Training Arc sets up for all-out war between demon forces and Demon Slayer Corps.
Techniques like String Performance and Idaten Typhoon showcase Hashira’s power.
Unique abilities like Dead Calm and Equinoctial Vermilion Eye add depth to Water and Flower Breathing Styles.

In the thrilling world of “Demon Slayer,” the Hashira are some of the most formidable characters, ready to risk everything in their battles against adversaries. To ensure they can depend on their most potent maneuver at all times, they need to master their unique Breathing Styles.

It’s clear why the powerful Breathing Styles employed by the Hashira in “Demon Slayer” stand out. Their attacks are remarkably potent, capable of reducing even the most robust demons to a pulp.

8. Ninth Form: Rengoku

A Strong Technique That Is Only Used By Members Of The Rengoku Family

Known User(s): Kyojuro Rengoku

Too bad Kyojuro didn’t have the chance to activate his Demon Slayer Mark; it would have been fascinating to see just how powerful he could become. His Flame Breathing technique offered a glimpse into his potential, so not getting to see him fully unleash that power is truly unfortunate.

Following generations of mastering the fiery dragon technique within the Rengoku family, Kyojuru unleashes an incredibly powerful, dragon-like aura as he delivers a destructive slash. This attack left Akaza severely damaged, but the Fire Pillar Hashira had depleted his strength from saving civilians aboard the train from Enmu’s influence, and ultimately could not fend off a lethal strike that claimed his life.

7. Fifth Form: String Performance

Helps Tengen Unleash A Continuous Barrage

Known User(s): Tengen Uzui

Tengen’s Sound Breathing represents a distinctive technique that proves beneficial in various scenarios, whether it be during or outside of a fight. While echolocation offers its own advantages, this Breathing Style could benefit from incorporating potent offensive moves to tackle formidable demons effectively.

In the Fifth Form, String Playing (String Performance), he keeps spinning his weapon unceasingly to exert pressure on his adversaries. This tactic was potent enough to overwhelm a High-Rank Demon like Gyutaro, and it’s plausible that Tengen could have easily decapitated his enemy with his Demon Slayer Mark activated.

6. Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon

An Acrobatic Move That Boasts Devastating Power

Known User(s): Sanemi Shinazugawa

Viewers might dislike Sanemi at present, yet his past could win their sympathy towards his fierce demeanor. What’s more, his Wind-wielding ability is immensely potent, equipping him to confront numerous formidable demons during the Infinity Castle storyline.

In simpler terms, the ninth and strongest move is called Idaten Typhoon, which involves using bursts of wind to perform acrobatics and cut through enemies. This incredible ability demonstrates the immense power that even a human like Sanemi possesses.

5. Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye

Enhances A User’s Perception At The Cost Of Severe Eye Damage If Used Carelessly

Known User(s): Kanae Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri

In contrast to other breathing techniques, the potent Flower Breathing style I’ve observed bestows an extraordinary enhancement on a user’s senses. The climactic form of this practice, Equinoctial Vermilion Eye, is a dire method that slayers should employ only when they find themselves in a desperate predicament.

Using this method, time seems to move more gradually, but it carries a heavy price for the user’s vision. Prolonged use could potentially lead to blindness, an undesirable situation especially when confronting a lethal adversary.

4. Fifth Form: Arcs Of Justice

The Strongest Technique Of The Hardest-Hitting Breathing Style

Known User(s): Gyomei Himejima

In the anime “Demon Slayer”, Stone Breathing is often praised as the most powerful Breathing Style. The way Gyomei fights, wielding a staff and an axe, shows that he emphasizes raw power in battle.

The Arcs of Justice in its fifth and most powerful form packs quite a punch. It discharges a powerful volley with its distinctive weapon, capable of inflicting massive damage when it connects.

3. Dance Of The Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag

A Move So Powerful It Can Cleave A Bridge In Two

Known User(s): Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu, among the Hashira, is not as strong physically, but she compensates by employing her poison skills to outsmart demons. Yet, Doma’s remarks about her final move indicate that her unique abilities are powerful enough to bridge any power disparity.

The Ballet of the Centipede: The Hundred-Legged Leap Amplifies Shinobu’s Force, Empowering Her to Deliver Such a Powerful Strike That It Splits a Wooden Bridge in Half. This Moves Showcases the Mastery of the Insect Hashira’s Exceptional Skill, Which She Polished to Perfection to Avenge Her Sister’s Death at the Hands of the Upper Rank Two Demon Moon.

In this rephrased version, I’ve attempted to maintain the original meaning while making it more accessible and descriptive, using a ballet metaphor for “Dance” to convey the gracefulness and power of the move, and a more detailed explanation of the move’s effect. Additionally, I’ve added context to help newcomers understand the characters and their motivations better.

2. Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds

Muichiro’s Technique Allows Him To Take Out Gyokko In A Hard-Fought Battle

Known User(s): Muichiro Tokito

In a pinch, Muichiro appeared to be defeated by Gyokko, but at the critical moment, he activated his demon slayer mark, ultimately gaining the upper hand against the Upper Rank Five Demon Moon.

In the heat of battle, I relentlessly assaulted him with strikes, sapping his strength. Then, I summoned Obscuring Clouds, the Seventh Form of Mist Breathing – a technique I’ve crafted myself as the Mist Hashira. It leaves demons bewildered just before delivering a swift, deadly blow so powerful it decapitated Gyokko and finished him off for good.

1. Eleventh Form: Dead Calm

Giyu’s Original Technique Cements Him As A Warrior Worthy Of Being The Water Hashira

Known User(s): Giyu Tomioka

Water Breathing is second nature to Giyu, making it possible for him to enhance his repertoire of techniques by mastering an additional form. The Dead Calm state gives Giyu unparalleled concentration, enabling him to effortlessly deflect attacks and deliver a devastating strike powerful enough to decapitate strong demons.

This concentration can be disrupted by a series of assaults, yet it remains one of the most awe-inspiring moves in the storyline. Fans are eagerly anticipating Dead Calm’s display against Akaza during the Infinity Castle storyline.
