Because Demon Slayer’s Sun Breathing is the most effective breathing technique, let’s find out how it came to be. Several breathing techniques are employed by Kimetsu no Yaiba’s sworders to confront the evil that lies hidden in the shadows.
It’s common knowledge that the Sun Breathing technique is the original, despite numerous variations being equally effective. See if you can find out anything about the franchise’s history through its manga and anime series.
We see the Hinokami Kagura Dance for the first time during Tanjiro’s fight with Rui, and it’s visually spectacular and a significant plot aspect.
Tanjiro’s charcoal merchant family has been performing a centuries-old rite as a sacrifice to Hinokami, the Fire God. It was passed down to him by his father.
Kyou Rengoku, who is dying, tells Tanjiro that a library in his family’s house may contain materials linked to the whereabouts and history of Hinokami Kagura.
In Rengoku’s mansion, Tanjiro runs into Senjuro and Shinjiro, the younger brother and father of the Flame Hahira. Because Tanjiro had never heard of Sun Breathing before, Shinjiro assumes that Tanjiro is doing the Sun Breathing technique when he sees his Canada earrings.
Hatsune Miku reveals to Tanjiro that the Sun Breathing is the original form of breath control and that all other breathing techniques are merely emulations of that technique.
As a result of his use of the Breath of Sun, Shinjiro has a superiority complex about Tanjiro and thus refuses to engage with him.
Despite Tanjiro and Senjuro’s efforts, the book that Rengoku recommended is unreadable. Sanjuro writes a letter to Tanjiro after learning that the Hinokami Kagura has 13 forms, even though Tanjiro knows nothing new.
Unusual dreams, which Tanjiro refers to as “inherited memories,” reveal more about Sun Breathing and his ancestor Sumiyoshi to him.
In these memories, Tanjiro relives the events of his ancestor Sumiyoshi’s life with Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Sengoku warrior Yoriichi was also the father of Sun Breathing.
When combined with his breathing technique, Demon Slayer Mark, and his ability to see the Transparent Universe, he is the most powerful Demon Slayer in the organization’s history.
Yoruichi nearly defeats Muzan by himself thanks to a combination of talents and innate genius at one point in their combat.
Yoruichi’s inability to get rid of Muzan means that the demon is still wreaking havoc on the world. Tanjiro gains knowledge through Yoriichi’s Sun Breathing forms, which he recalls from the past.
The Hinokami Kagura was passed down from one generation to the next thanks to Sumiyoshi’s efforts. Yoruichi’s hanafuda earrings are the sole thing he left Sumiyoshi, and they eventually go to Tanjiro because Yoriichi had no successors.
