Kimetsu no Yaiba: What is Breath of the Sun, who uses it, and how many postures does it have?

“Kimetsu no Yaiba“introduced us to Tanjiro Kamado as a young charcoal burner who eventually developed a style of fencing based on breath of water…despite the fact that today what we see him using most forcefully is what is called ‘Hinokami Kagura‘. But what is this dance that no one else uses? Is it related to the breath of the sun? And to all this, what is the Breath of the Sun? Today I solve all doubts about these techniques.

What is Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Breath of the Sun (SPOILERS)

• The Breath of the Sun is the first breath ever created by the demon exterminators. It is considered technical the most powerful of all and of which all the others breaths, so it is assumed that one who is able to use the Breath of the Sun really has the potential to use any other breath that exists.
• He Hinokami Kagura of Tanjiro is closely related to the Breath of the Sun. How ? Well, because it was created generations ago by Tanjiro’s family to precisely preserve the footsteps of the Breath of the Sun. That is to say that the Hinokami Kagura is not a “dance” as such originally, but it serves so that the potential users of the Breath of the Sun can learn to use the different forms of the breath. original.

• The Breath of the Sun is the one that, along with its first user, cornered Kibutsuji Muzan to the point that he had to go into hiding for decades. It’s a breathing technique revolves around performing movements similar to the flames of the sunwith a series of unpredictable patterns that make it the most versatile technique and at the same time effective against demons.
• It is assumed that the Hinokami Kagura was created in conjunction between Sumiyoshi and Yoriichi Tsugikuni (who developed a close friendship), intent on preserving the Breath of the Sun despite the passage of time.

Breath of the Sun users in Kimetsu no Yaiba (SPOILERS)

• Both by extension of the Hinokami Kagura and by original use of the Breath of the Sun, the known users of this form of combat in Kimetsu no Yaiba are the following: Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Sumiyoshi, Tanjuro Kamado and Tanjiro Kamado.
• Yoriichi Tsugikuni, as the original user of Breath of the Sun, is also the creator. Afterwards, Sumiyoshi, Tanjuro and Tanjiro Kamado after Hinokami Kagura as a way to access Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s Breath of the Sun.

• Only a select few can use the Breath of the Sun, the most difficult of breaths to master. The reason we ultimately see Tanjiro go from Breathing Water to Hinokami Kagura and later purely Breathing Sun is precisely because his physique has more appropriate conditions to use the latterwhich automatically gives you a number of greater benefits than not forcing a style you’re not so naturally predisposed to.
• Other than Tanjiro Kamado and Yoriichi Tsugikuni, there really isn’t a trace of other swordsmen using Breath of the Sun in combat. (although it is assumed that there were more, as it is revealed that all Breath of the Sun users were killed by either Kokushibo or Muzan). In the end, Sumiyoshi and Tanjuro simply took it upon themselves to keep the tradition alive through the Hinokami Kagura.

What postures does the Breath of the Sun have? (SPOILERS)

• Initially, the Breath of the Sun had a total of 12 postures, which are all adaptations of Hinokami Kagura, but eventually Yoriichi Tsugikuni developed a 13th form who has just completed what is called the breath of the sun.
• Unlike the Breath of the Sun, the Hinokami Kagura has useless moves which make its power and potential somewhat below the original breath. Therefore, the moment Tanjiro fully unlocks Sumiyoshi’s memories and can come to appreciate Yoriichi performing the Breath of the Sun naturally, he gets rid of the Hinokami Kagura as well as those unnecessary moves to access the true Breath of the Sun poses. Sun.

• Registered positions of the Breath of the Sun are the following:
  • First posture – Waltz: The Waltz consists of a cut made from top to bottom and a combined movement in an arc.
    • Lightning Waltz: Technique developed by Tanjiro which combines the first lightning breathing posture with the waltz posture.
  • Second Posture – Blue Sky: 360º circular cut that the user performs by turning his body.
  • Third Position – Stifling Crimson Mirror: Two defensive cuts.
  • Fourth posture – Rainbow parhelia: It is a dance full of turns and rotations at high speed used to avoid enemy attacks.
  • Fifth Position – Wheel of Fire: The user performs a wheel movement after jumping in the air.
  • Sixth posture – Burning sun: Fire vortex created to defend the user.
  • Seventh Pose – Sunflower Spear: Powerful thrust made directly against the enemy.
  • Eighth Posture – Huge Flaming Bruma: The user launches against the enemy by executing a cut.
  • Ninth posture – Sunset: In the air, turn of the user which ends up giving rise to a completely straight horizontal cut.
  • Tenth Posture – Brilliant Light of Gratitude: User’s leap into the air that follows a spiraling motion, ending in a powerful cut.
  • Eleventh Position – Dragon Solar Halo: With this posture the user manages to move between his enemies while avoiding all attacks and, at the same time, performing a series of cuts.
  • Twelfth Pose – Flaming Vals: Combination of two strokes, starting with a vertical cut which is followed by a horizontal cut.
  • Thirteenth position – (unnamed): A stance created exclusively for killing Muzan that involves continuously performing each of the previous 12 stances in Breathing of the Sun, gradually increasing the accuracy and agility of the user’s movements. .

And these are all the details to consider on the Breath of the Sun or, as we first know for some time, the dance of the Hinokami Kagura. If despite everything some have doubts or something to add to all that I pointed out on the technique, do not hesitate to use the comment section.
