Demon Slayer is a series full to the brim with flashy and engaging Breathing Styles that are a blast to witness. Ufotable's amazing animation breathes new life — no pun intended — into these battles and makes them quite awe-inspiring. Most Breathing Styles have already been showcased quite extensively in the series, with all of these techniques being powerful and slicing through lesser enemies without a care in the world. Of course, the challenge is harder when users have to deal with stronger and more bloodthirsty demons... but that is to be expected.
One particular Breathing Style that viewers have yet to witness in Demon Slayer is Love Breathing, which sounds like an interesting technique. After all, the majority of techniques employed by the Hashira correspond to a particular element, so it's rather odd to see Love being thrown around as a Breathing Style. It seems that viewers will get their answers only when Mitsuri Kanroji, the creator of Love Breathing, will display all the techniques in her arsenal. Love Breathing is the most effective with a hybrid of a whip and a katana, and here are all the Forms for fans who want to know everything about this unique Breathing Style.
The Fourth Form Is Unknown
Most Breathing Styles in Demon Slayer have shown the majority of their techniques in both the series' manga and anime. However, there are times when certain characters skip a move or two to move on to more powerful attacks instead, and Love Breathing is no exception to this rule. Mitsuri has shown just how strong this technique is courtesy of five amazing moves that can take out most lesser demons with ease.
However, while Mitsuri has used a technique from the Sixth Form, one thing to keep in mind is that she never revealed her Fourth Form in the manga. This is bound to be a source of great irritation for fans who wanted to know everything possible about this technique, and the only thing that can fill the gaps here is their imagination.
5 First Form: Shivers Of First Love
Many people consider the First Form of any Breathing Style to be simple and effective, showing the strengths of said technique without looking too flashy in the process. It seems that Mitsuri never got the memo here, since Shivers of First Love is a surprisingly powerful technique that can decimate opponents using multiple whip strikes.
These attacks come from all directions, meaning that enemies will find this technique to be extremely hard to avoid. Only the most skilled and strongest demons around can stand a chance of avoiding any damage from this quick and damaging technique, showing just how impressive Mitsuri's skills really are.
4 Second Form: Love Pangs
Pretty much every Breathing Style has an attack where the user lashes out at everything and everyone around them, allowing for a move that strikes the perfect balance between defense and attack. Given the malleable nature of a weapon like the whip, it goes without saying that such a technique would be even more effective... provided that the user is skilled enough to pull it off in the first place, that is.
Thankfully, these doubts fade when viewers take a look at just how strong and skillful Mitsuri is. The Second Form of Love Breathing, Love Pangs, leads to this Hashira attacking the area around her with a series of powerful whip slashes. This technique allows her to protect herself from any attacks while also preventing enemies from nearing her unless they want to be slashed to pieces.
3 Third Form: Catlove Shower
Every Breathing Style should ideally have an aerial technique since fights with tougher demons are dynamic and require a fighter to cover all their bases. The Third Form: Catlove Shower technique fulfills this role for Mitsuri, allowing her to leap upward and unleash a consecutive string of whip slashes.
Any demon who's currently above Mitsuri will be slashed to ribbons if she manages to pull this technique off, with only the most skilled demons around standing a chance of getting through this attack unscathed. This powerful technique hits like a truck, making the most of Mitsuri's position in the air.
2 Fifth Form: Swaying Love, Wildclaw
There are some techniques in a Breathing Style that look pretty flashy while also damaging enemies extensively. Such is the case with Love Breathing's Fifth Form: Swaying Love, Wildclaw, where the user somersaults backward into the air while also letting loose with their whip-like katana.
Not only is this move quite effective, but it also serves as an evasive move if used properly. This essentially allows Mitsuri to back away from any damaging attacks while also countering with a powerful slash of her own!
1 Sixth Form: Cat-Legged Winds Of Love
This twirling, acrobatic move is one of the most powerful Love Breathing techniques that Mitsuri pulls off against especially dangerous opponents. It essentially serves as a continuous attack where the user constantly retracts and unleashes their whip-like katana to unleash some serious damage.
Only the most powerful and skilled fighters around stand a chance of pulling this move off without leaving any major openings. Thankfully, Mitsuri more than fits the bill in this regard.
