In the manga “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” the wild and headstrong Hashibira Inosuke lives life charging forward.
The techniques he uses are just as wild, with many of them being incomprehensible for a swordsman.
This time, we’ll summarize the list of forms (fangs) of “Beast Breathing” used by Inosuke!
(Note: Many techniques that have not appeared in the anime are included here. Anime-only fans, please be aware.)
“Beast Breathing” Created by Inosuke
The breathing technique used by Hashibira Inosuke is called “Beast Breathing.” It’s an original style created by Inosuke.
Although it is an original technique, it belongs to the “Wind Breathing” category among the basic breathing styles of Fire, Water, Thunder, Stone, and Wind.
According to the official description, “Beast Breathing is Inosuke’s original style. He hasn’t learned Wind Breathing, but it seems to resemble it.”
List of Techniques Used by Hashibira Inosuke!
Inosuke’s sword techniques are based on his self-created “Beast Breathing,”
and are executed in the form of “Beast Breathing: Fang of —.”
First Fang: Pierce
A powerful thrust technique using both swords aligned together.
Second Fang: Slash
A technique that slashes downward in a cross pattern with both swords, using force.
Third Fang: Devour
A technique that swings the crossed swords outward to the left and right.
Fourth Fang: Fine Slash
A powerful attack that delivers a rapid series of six strikes, hitting a wide area in front.
Fifth Fang: Frenzied Slash
A technique that swings both swords in erratic patterns, slashing in all directions. It is effective when surrounded by enemies.
Sixth Fang: Wild Boar Bite
A technique where the blades of both swords are brought together at a single point to pinch and tear through the target like a saw.
The drawback is that it requires extremely close proximity to the opponent and has a certain time lag from initiation to completion.
However, since it has been used to behead an Upper Moon demon, it is undoubtedly a powerful technique.
Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness
Since it is not an offensive technique, it is classified as a “Form.”
Although it temporarily leaves the user vulnerable, it sharpens their excellent sense of touch to detect subtle atmospheric vibrations, allowing them to perform wide-area searches while ignoring illusions and similar techniques.
Eighth Form: Explosive Charge
Since it is not an offensive technique, it is classified as a “Form.”
Inosuke’s trump card for a forward-leaning, high-speed charge, abandoning all defense and evasion.
It can momentarily intimidate even higher-ranked demons and achieve speeds that catch opponents off guard.
Ninth Fang: Extend・Winding Slash
A technique that temporarily dislocates all the joints in the arms to deliver slashes from a distance much greater than the usual range.
Ordinary humans would not only endure the pain of dislocating their joints but also find it impossible to reset them on their own, but as expected from someone raised in the mountains…
(Let’s consider it this way.)
Tenth Fang: Rotating Spiral Fang
A technique that creates wind by rotating the two swords like propellers.
It may not be an offensive technique, but since it involves using the swords, it is categorized as a “Fang.”
In this instance, it was used to avoid inhaling the freezing air that could freeze the lungs.
Exception: Improvised Throwing Slash
It is likely an improvised technique created on the spot, as suggested by the name.
The technique involves throwing the two swords to strike the opponent.
Although it is unthinkable for a swordsman to part with their weapon, in this situation, where he was just a step away from decapitating a demon, he boldly threw the swords.
I have explained Inosuke’s techniques.
If the user is wild, then the techniques are wild too.
Hashibira Inosuke’s character is wonderfully wild, isn’t it?
In the future, techniques like those introduced are expected to appear in the anime, so be sure to check them out!
