Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie Will Reveal the Frightening Power of Mist Breathing

Undeniably, I bear witness to the exceptional skills of Muichiro Tokito, one of the most outstanding Demon Slayers of his time. At an astonishingly young age of 11, he was elevated to the esteemed rank of Hashira within the Demon Slayer Corps. His contributions were pivotal in the resistance led by Kagaya Ubuyashiki against Muzan’s forces, thus preserving the world from plunging into anarchy and turmoil.

It’s clear that Tokito’s dedication is unmatched, but his extraordinary innate ability has significantly contributed to his success. With the Demon Slayer Corps gearing up for a decisive battle against the Demon King and his minions, Muichiro is anticipated to make a significant impact. As one of the finest of his generation, he’s poised to unleash the devastating power hidden within Mist Breathing.

Muichiro Tokito’s Innovative Use of Mist Breathing

Tokito Defeated Gyokko By Inventing a New Form of Mist Breathing

  • Manga Debut: Chapter 44
  • Anime Debut: Episode 21

Muichiro Tokito acquired Mist Breathing from a mysterious cultivator. Unlike most sword-wielders, he didn’t settle for mere proficiency; instead, he dedicated his effort, perspiration, and emotions to excelling at this swordsmanship style, ultimately outshining his contemporaries as the finest of his generation.

Even the strongest attacks are pointless if they don’t hit. ~ Muichiro Tokito to Gyokko

Tokito demonstrates a remarkable mastery of Mist Breathing, going beyond its standard uses to innovate unique applications. A stunning display of his exceptional skill is evident in his fight against Upper Rank Five, Gyokko. In this battle, he seemed to be both tactically and physically outclassed until Muichiro received the Demon Slayer Mark.

Tokito was exceptionally skilled in wielding six types of Mist Breathing. However, his relentless ambition to defeat Gyokko fueled him to create a seventh form. Called the Seventh Form: Shrouded Mists, it enables Tokito to confuse his adversaries by moving gradually before vanishing at astonishing speeds when the foe feels secure enough to attack. This leaves his enemies frustrated, providing an opportunity for further exploitation.

In battle, Muichiro employs the Seventh Form: Hiding in Fog, tricking Gyokko into believing there’s dense fog surrounding him, which actually creates lethal opportunities. Tokito’s creative application of Fog Breathing showcases his remarkable skill. Most demon slayers might have found it difficult to endure the wounds he sustained, but Muichiro not only demonstrated exceptional toughness but also came up with an entirely new form on the spot.

Infinity Castle Will Reveal Mist Breathing’s Full Potential

Muichiro Tokito Can Invent a New Form Against Kokushibo

In the grandeur of the Infinity Castle, I stand witness as Muichiro Tokito squares off against Upper Rank One, Kokushibo. Despite being the solitary Hashira of this generation to have vanquished an Upper Moon single-handedly, Kokushibo presents a challenge unlike any demon he’s ever encountered. This battle will demand all of Muichiro’s skill and resourcefulness, for Kokushibo’s power, agility, and swordsmanship far surpass those of any other demon slayer.

Facing such a tough opponent, Tokito is expected to adjust to situations he hasn’t encountered before. Although his battle with Gyokko was largely one-sided once he employed Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds, this strategy won’t be effective against Kokushibo. Consequently, Muichiro will likely need to not only enhance each Form but also create a new one if the predicament worsens.

Primarily, Mist Breathing emphasizes speed, and in a match against an opponent like the Upper Moon One, it could be decisive. It’s fortunate for Muichiro that he won’t be fighting him alone. This will give him the opportunity to launch strategic attacks and adapt his use of Mist Breathing according to the openings made by his teammates.

Beyond their initial encounter with Gyokko, Muichiro has since dedicated extensive training to mastering his Demon Slayer Mark. Now, he is more adept in utilizing its abilities. The Demon Slayer Mark significantly enhances Mist Breathing, making it more potent. In the upcoming battle, Tokito is expected to primarily employ Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze, as well as Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash, for optimal results.

That rage, burning like a furnace within me, it’s something I can never forget, even if my memories fade away. It drives me, pushes me to my limits and beyond. That anger, that unquenchable thirst for vengeance – it’s the reason I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the art of swordsmanship, pushing my body to its breaking point until I can taste blood in my mouth. But I won’t stop there; I will continue, relentless in my pursuit to exterminate every last demon that dares to cross my path.” ~ Muichiro Tokito (my interpretation)

Previously noted, Muichiro’s unique talent lies in his creative use of Mist Breathing. Kokushibo poses a grave threat, and overcoming him calls for something extraordinary. It seems that Tokito may surpass himself when he enters the Infinity Castle to face Upper Moon. Spectators can anticipate Mist Breathing being employed in unprecedented ways. New strategies and transformations could emerge, but it’s uncertain just how far Muichiro Tokito is prepared to push the limits to vanquish the Upper Rank One.

The initial part of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle series is set for U.S. debut on September 12, 2025.
