The breathing styles are actually just different ways of swordsmanship, the cool effects are just sort of an imagination. (It says this somewhere in the manga yet it is kinda stupid because the "imagination" part of breathing (the effects) still can hit something while the sword is away from that thing)
Actually. 🤓If the effects are imagination, wouldn't that just give it plot holes? Like how Daki said that Tanjiro's slashes burned? Or how upper moon 5 couldn't see that kid (forgot his name) due to the mist? Idk why they stated that but... ok!
@@Arlocx0Tanjiro's slashes burned because he used Sun Breathing, which makes the user and their sword rise in temp. That's why Yoriichi's sword turned red too-it was literally burning. For Muichiro, he was just really fast and knew how to move to confuse his enemies. The demon couldn't keep up with his speed and thought he was one with the mist, which is his breathing technique. Muichiro also asked for a flowy, oversized uniform so he could move easily and not be restricted.
@@Arlocx0 Similar things have happened with other characters, like Sanemi disappearing instantly or Urokodaki vanishing into the mist. Those effects are just animation choices to make the fights better, showing how skilled and fast they are. Also, remember when the spider mom demon felt peaceful and warm when Tanjiro killed her with the sixth form? That's because that style is meant to kill gently and with as little pain as possible. they don't gain powers; it's all about enhancing their natural abilities. Only demons have supernatural powers. Sorry for the long yap, but that's it Haha
