Fighting ghosts in Demon Slayer The anime calls for some extraordinary swordplay and physical strength. Even the nine powerful Hashira doesn't benefit from Quirks, jutsu, or the likes of Nen as seen in other fantasy anime, so a blade should suffice. This is why all demon slayers, most of all Hasira, are extensively trained to use special techniques. These are great moves from breathing styles, usually focusing on specific slashing patterns or thrusts.
More and more on Demon Slayer In the anime, Hasira would use his best techniques to take on not only hordes of low-ranking monsters, but also high-ranking monsters, as it couldn't slow down. No one, not even Gyomi Himejima or Kyozuro, was holding back against Muzan's toughest minions. Strong techniques are the least these elite assassins can do to give themselves a fighting chance, along with more common techniques that can match any breathing style moves.
Breathing Love, Fifth Form: Swaying Love, Wildclaw
Mitsuri needed this to fight Johakuten in a duel
No matter her goofy personality, and no matter how often she feels overwhelmed or embarrassed Demon SlayerThe story of Mitsuri Kanroji is a real powerhouse. She is one of anime's best female sword users thanks to her dense muscles and mastery of her love breath. He used a variety of Love Breathing moves when fighting the Upper Moon 4, Hantengu, of which his fifth form was the most impressive.
When Mitsuri throws her swinging love, Wildclaw, at a target like Hantengu, she will absolutely destroy them with the savage movements of her Nichirin Blade. This technique also calls for sophisticated maneuverability as Mitsuri spins in the air before performing the acrobatics, a good example of her remarkable agility in combat. Even the Johakuten, the deadliest form of Hantengu's one-man army, couldn't handle it easily.
Air Breathing, Ninth Form: Ideten Typhoon is the ultimate air-based attack
This technique is strong enough to challenge Muzan in battle
Sanemi Shinazugawa is a wind Hashira, and true to that title, he uses aggressive moves to create sharp blasts of wind. This means that Sanemi has one of the best fighting styles for the ranged combat aspect of Mitsuri and her long, flexible Nichirin Blade. Sanemi waited for a while Demon SlayerA story before Sanemi started using her best forms when she reached her peak in the Infinity Castle arc.
The best arcs of every major shonen anime, ranked
These anime arcs were prominent and defined the genre for shonen.
That was when Sanemi finally started to back up all that tough talk with the devastating moves of Wind Breathing, all backed up by his Demon Slayer Mark. Sanemi really impressed manga readers when she used Idaten Typhoon, the ninth form of Wind Breathing, to completely destroy Muzan Kibutsuji. Or at least, the Idaten Typhoon move did enough damage to Muzan's arm to send it back to the Demon King himself, which is saying something.
Dance of the Centipede: The Hundred-Legged Zigzag is Shinobu's fastest and most brutal technique.
Even Doma was impressed when he saw it
Shinobu Kochō has always felt bad about her modest size and physical strength compared to other Hashira, but she has found ways to make up for it. Above all, she is the poisoner of the Demon Slayer Corps, using powerful substances to take down demons much bigger and tougher than her. It also worked in Upper Moon 2, Doma, though Shinobu didn't live long enough to see the payoff.

For more formal techniques, Dance of the Centipede: The Hundred Foot Zigzag is his best move, and he showed Doma himself its full fury. This is Shinobu at his fastest and most aggressive, displaying unusual destructive power when using it. Best of all, the random, fast movement of this technique makes it difficult for any enemy to track Shinobu, giving Shinobu a huge advantage.
Stone Breather, Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice are reserved for when Gyomei is serious
Gyomei uses his fifth form against Kokushibo
As the single most powerful Hashira of them all, it's no surprise that Gyomei Himejima has some of the most devastating moves the Demon Slayer Corps has to offer. He's the one who wields a spiked ball on a chain to fight demons they never thought possible, all backed by Gyomei's amazing strength and stone breathing moves.
These include the likes of Arcs of Justice, the fifth and hardest hitting form that Stone Breathing is capable of. Gyomei used that move later Demon Slayerof the manga when he fought Upper Moon 1, Kokushibo. That alone did not win the battle, but it was a good reason for Gyomei to use the fifth and most effective form of Stone Breathing when fighting such an enemy.
Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku nearly took down Akaza
It was the crown jewel of the Mugen Train movie
The Mugen train Kyozuro Rengoku was the only film to use Flame Breathing against a member of the Twelve Demon Moons. Kyozuro used more and more flame breathing forms as he sparred with Akaja, advancing with each blow to keep pace with his monstrous vanguard. The more exhausted and desperate Kyozuro became, the more he relied on the Flame Breathing pattern.
Monster Slayer: 10 Most Powerful Water Breathing Techniques
We've seen some fantastic water breathing techniques throughout Demon Slayer. These stood out most strongly.
It all culminated in Kyozuro using the Ninth Form of Flame Breathing, a move that shares its own name, funnily enough. This all-or-nothing attack actually got Kyozuro remarkably close to defeating Akaza for good, but Akaza's sheer toughness and counterattack saw him through the battle as the morning sun approached. All the same, although the Ninth Form failed to achieve a big win, it was very easy Demon Slayer Fans see what a true powerhouse that technology is.
Repetitive action can enhance any breathing style
Any Hashira can double its power with repeated actions
Repetition is the most powerful Hashira technique of all Demon Slayer For one simple reason: it can be combined and enhanced with any established breathing style. When a demon slayer adopts a specific fighting style, it means that the slayer is limited in what that style can do. However, the repetitive action allows for more growth as it is almost like a second combat system, which works with any breathing style.
Repetitive action isn't easy to learn or master, but even non-Hashira like Zenya and Tanjiro Kamado can do it, so in theory, all Hashira can do it too. The repetitive action, along with the Demon Slayer Mark and Transcendent World, is an intuitive style-agnostic trick to give any user a much-needed way to rival the supernatural power of any demon.
