Demon Slayer Breathing Concept: Mind Breathing

Note: Everything I say will just be a part of the concept and not how or why I did personally create so if I say pigs fly than you can change or adjust it to what you like lmao.

-Sound and Stone breathing is what stemmed into Mind breathing, which the original Mind breathing creator had a quote saying “The mind is a stone. We can’t use our fists to cut it, only our mind aswell.”  (Basically meaning you can’t use your fist to cut open a rock, use a bigger ass rock to do that) 

-Most Mind breathing users come from a medical field of travelling doctors for demonslayers. Not only that but it’s highly preferred that they are acquainted with physically well built demonslayers to help assist them since most mind breathing slayers aren’t physically built well for fighting (, often use long ranged weapons that are thin such as a chained whip) and more physically built for dodging.

-Mind breathing has the ability to drive the opponent’s user insane from every cut they get on their body, letting the user kill the opponent. The breathing style has the capabilities of damaging the opponents emotional, mental, or spiritual state in the process of using it and claims that opponents may see things they fear or have a nightmare for, physically paralyzing their body and in more long-timed battles, physically perishing (with the only cure to seek professional therapeutic counseling for that). 

-Another important detail for mind breathing users is they often try to observe the opponents emotional, mental, and spiritual state because the breathing forms help greatly in battle. Such as those who show they matter more on their emotional state, users use an emotional breathing form to cut it down.

-There are at least 6 forms of Mind breathing, First Form: Emotional Nightmare , Second Form: Mind break, Third Form: Spiritual Judgement, Fourth Form: Brain Poison, Fifth Form: Killer Blitz, Sixth Form: Lullaby Goodbye

-The first three forms are used all for different uses. Emotional break greatly cuts down their emotional state, mind break for their mental state, and spiritual judgement for their spiritual state. 

-Fourth Form is mostly used by all Mind users the most because once their cut with that form, every part of their mind is slowly but surely affected with the thought of letting go and accepting death.  

-Fifth Form, Killer Blitz is the ability to cut down all states of the mind however is not that effective as the first three forms (the reason being how they only are targeted towards one part of the mind rather than Killer Blitz doing all at once). However this form is a great support for Brain Poison with higher ranked demons. 

-Sixth form, Lullaby Goodbye is a rather self-destructive and self-sacrificing form. It’s only used when the user knows they can’t win, will die, and so risk their own mind to get rid of their opponent. The ability will increase all other forms effectiveness a indescribable amount based off the users own mind with a time limit to how much they can handle it before they’re killed or lose their own minds, broken beyond repair. Most users who are taught this form are told to sing lullabys from their homeland or family while using this form to not only bring even just a little comfort, but to let the wind carry their last breath to their beloved, telling them goodbye.

Demon Slayer Breathing Concept: Sleep Breathing

-Sound and Sun Breathing is what made this breathing style stem into Sleep Breathing. Most Sleep Breathing users struggle to stay awake most of the time, always seeming to lay around and sleep for mass amount of hours when off duty however may change when they’re on duty. Most users are on duty during noon or night which is perfect for other breathing users who are asleep at that time. 

-Sleep Breathing has the ability to enhance a users sharpness and even sharing their drowsiness with the opponent. This breathing style is not therapeutic however was chosen by a lot of people who sleep and possibly their family ties complain of  them laying around all day, sleeping. When they’re being taught this breathing style they always learn the concept of moving while fighting or rather sleep walking but with instinct. 

-Some sleep users are able to stay up for a bit while fighting, before choosing to fall asleep while others choose to stay asleep the whole time. While some of the users perform the breathing styles, a loud vibrating sound emits from their mouth, like a grinding of the teeth (when most user’s don’t do that) which makes any surrounding demons quite shaken or uneasy because most humans aren’t able to hear it due to the frequency and if they’re just a normal citizen. 

-Sleep users say it’s to measure the user’s strength through those frequencies and even being able to hear it from sleep users because of how it was taught.  Others say it’s to inform other slayers of their state or simple yes or no frequencies to them since some sleep users cannot communicate while they’re asleep. Both theories were proven right. Based on how loud the frequency is, that’s how strong the user is however the frequencies are used to perform the form when they’re asleep. While some awake sleep users do perform the form, they usually are able to say the form before the frequency emits while those who are asleep just use the frequency with vibration only.

-Most of these breathing styles were made during noon or night from the original user being similar to every other user. Having a father who pushed the creator, making them learn sun breathing (however never fully learning it) and  trying to sleep all day because of the emptiness and meaningless they felt when they would wake up. They felt no enjoyment and pleasure from living, only feeling that way momentary with eating and sleeping, eventually losing everything. After a demon slayer had saved them, taught them a bit of sound breathing, and lifted them up, they chose to be one themselves, slightly hoping to see them again.

-There are 8 forms of Sleep Breathing.

-The 8 forms of Sleep Breathing are Sleep, Awakening Sun, Sleep Link, Deflecting Domain, All-out Attack, Meaning of Life, 6 Arms, and 9 Lives. 

1st Form: Sleep, Makes the user immediately fall asleep. The ability to just sleep with Sleep Breathing makes all other breathing forms enhanced than staying awake.

2nd Form: Awakening Sun, is both a usable and passive ability.  If the user is either awake or asleep using the ability it produces a blue flame momentarily to strike down opponents however may strain the user’s arm for sometime. However as a passive skill, if the user is asleep and are about to be hit with a deadly attack, they will immediately wake up and automatically use 4th form: Deflecting Domain.

3rd Form: Sleep Link, is the ability that if the user cuts the opponent with the form in effect, they’ll start sharing the same drowsiness of the user, eventually sleeping. 

4th Form: Deflecting Domain, is a stance prepared for shielding any physical attacks. After the attack the user will be able to perform a flaming deflection of it in a fast pace.

5th Form: All-out attack has the user swiftly attack the opponent  in all directions, almost too fast for some demons to see or recognize where the user is attacking from.

6th Form: Meaning of Life is an ability only to be used when awake. If there is another demon slayer present and is about to be hit with a  attack, the user will risk their life to shield them. as long  as the user’s body isn’t detached, they will be able to keep fighting and perform every other form until the fight is over. 

7th Form: 6 Arms helps when the user is still awake. They will be able to multitask fighting multiple demons at once.

8th Form: 9 Lives is a passive ability that helps the user stay alive longer and closes any fatal wounds whether big or small faster. The user may feel a burning scensation when it is activated and will cause the user to not maintain a fully asleep state, having the user stay awake until all wounds are dealt with

Demon Slayer Breathing Concept: Rage Breathing

-Rage breathing was stemmed off of Flame and Stone breathing. This breathing style was used for individuals who couldn’t develop the other abilities power (such as fire breathing’s fire or water breathing’s water) or other such breathing styles aswell as individuals who had bottled up rage or anger. Rage breathing has the ability to consciously activate or use the person’s resilience and uses their hysterical strength to quickly power through.

-This breathing style is known to be therapeutic for those who have trouble managing their anger or rage they have for certain things or for individuals who easily obtain that through any event. Some people who are usually calm and have not alot of rage can’t grip onto the breathing style and hit the opponent with weak attacks. It is specifically used for angry and enraged users for this style empowers that and is effectively used physically throughout the battle.

-The more the user is enraged the more powerful their attacks are. The only downside is they often feel sleepy and can sleep for less than half a week.

-The effects you could get from the breathing style are not a lot however are used well from the users. The effects being immense fear and physiological damage. Rage breathing users often wield double katanas since most users are already have their strength boosted by the breathing style and have speed to match with it.

-There are only 3 forms due to the original user not being that creative of styles and names. The original user of the breathing style used it to protect his wife and child from demons, who often had trouble managing it due to his hate of demons. He used to be a food vender in the mountains who often would complain and physically hit surrounding objects endlessly however from learning it scared his family, he chose to manage it and create the breathing style. 

-The 3 forms of Rage breathing are Slicing Attack, Killer Rage, and Death to all Demons.

-First Form: Slicing Attack allows the user to twirl at least 3 times clock-wise, slicing the opponent that way. It also allows the user to only be left with not so life threatening cuts in the process.

-Second Form: Killer rage is used to increase the user’s rage and can be stacked as many times needed causing them to increase in strength, speed, and resilience. However will lead the user to think less rationally and logically the more it’s ability is used, until the battle ends, leaving them unbearably tired.

-Third Form: Death to all Demons is a AOE ability that causes all demons in a range of 360 feet to feel a sudden fear, feeling of hopelessness, and  immense pressure both physically and psychologically. The closer the demon is to the user, the more they feel the effect. This also causes the user to suddenly be free from any kind of rage or anger due to the ability absorbing it and using it as a boost. Often times the strength and speed is immeasurable depending on the users rage. They often see things going slower than usual and even easily breaking bones or limbs even. This ability however may lead the user to be more carefree due to the peaceful feeling, leading to underestimating the opponent. There are rare times though that the user still feels anger, rage, or a sense of justice in them, which users who don’t wield the breathing style but have seen it, report it as, “ felt it was my last second to properly breathe.”

Demon Slayer Breathing Concept: Death breathing

Note: Everything I say will just be a part of the concept and not how or why I did personally create so if I say pigs fly than you can change or adjust it to what you like lmao.

-Death breathing is a technique that stemmed off of Serpent and Love breathing. The main use and creation of Death breathing was for people who were going to die from incurable illnesses, sickness or disease that would kill them in a few months or years. Death breathing was believed to extend the user’s time of life on earth by a few more months to a year and a half, letting them die a painless death.

-The original creator of Death breathing was a young woman who herself, was dying from a incurable disease, expected to die that year. With her lover who betrayed her, searching for other woman, she became a demon slayer and invented the technique to help others last even a bit longer.

-The possible effects of being hit with Death breathing is redness, soreness, aching, muscle cramps, swelling, a burning sensation, and even the user’s own pain physically. The effects with swelling are so drastic that it could be the size of a balloon and pop (or rather explode) like one, increasing all other effects. With users that are physically built well they usually Katanas and for those who are lesser physically built well, they choose Bladed Nun-chucks. 

-Death breathing can extend the user’s life depending on how many demons they’ve killed, each being worth at least week, lower ranks being a month, and upper ranks being a year. Most users are always willing to put their own life on the line to kill demons, knowing that their life depends on it either way. 

-There are only four forms of Death breathing. Due to this breathing style being depended on by so many who are bound to die and eager to learn to extend their life they shortened it by that little.

-The four forms are lover’s first bite, rapid transcendence, fangs of hell, and death’s knocking door. 

-The creator had named the four forms that way to tell a story of her own life after she had suffered from her illness. Lover’s first bite had been named that way to represent the woman’s hurt of her lover who betrayed her and left her, claiming it was the first time and last time they’d done that. After that she had ‘rapidly transcended’ to the ranks in demon slayer corps, making her way to Kinoe. She had finally got her revenge, releasing the fangs of hell on them. Eventually knocking on death’s door herself.

-First Form: Lover’s First Bite is a single attack that is mainly supposed to be used at the start of the battle, where the user’s turn to attack first. This form causes the area cut or severed to automatically cause mass swelling to a balloon, and popping causing, aching, soreness, and redness. 

-Second Form: Rapid Transcendence is a form that temporarily boosts the users physical strength and speed, making them able performing a rush attack on the opponent without losing breath or growing tired during or after it.   

-Third Form: Fangs of Hell is an ability to poison the opponent with Death breathing’s effects, redness,swelling in multiple areas of the opponents body, growing and popping as time gets longer, soreness, burning sensation, muscle cramps, and even the user’s pain.

-Fourth Form: Death’s knocking door is rather a passive ability that can be used both on purpose or without the user knowing. It enhances the users speed and adrenaline power greatly based off of the total amount of demons they’ve killed and happens when they’ve lost too much blood to even be alive. After that isn’t possible anymore due to the user not being able to move a muscle and eventually die without pain. The ability is however forgotten or not even considered taught to anymore by other learners of Death breathing due to what it does. The teachers of Death breathing have considered that form to be shameful and to be rejected being taught because that their work from killing demons to gain more life energy will go to waste if they used that form.
