Inosuke created the beast breathing technique while living in isolation from wild boars in the mountains.

Mist breathing is a subgenre of wind breathing. The seventh form, cloud cover, is the strongest use of mist breath, as it can both confuse and wrap in mist for defense and attack in the blink of an eye.
breath of thunder
The other primary breathing pattern directly inherited from the solar breath, the thunder breath mimics the speed of lightning. Azuma Zenitsu, voiced by Hiroshi Shimono, describes it as power flowing through the muscles and blood vessels of the legs.
While there are seven forms of Thunder Breath, fans have only seen how Zenisu transforms it into his own by mastering the first form: Thunder Blow and Lightning. He developed three transformations, the Sixth, Eighth and Divine Speed, as well as a seventh form that only appeared in the manga Honoikazuchi no Kami, which allowed him to dash forward in one strike in the form of a yellow dragon-shaped lightning bolt.
water breathing
Water breathing is not only directly derived from Sun Breathing, but it also has three variations of its own – Flower Breathing, Insect Breathing, and Snake Breathing – all forms used by Giyu Tomioka’s companion Jura. It is one of the most commonly used breathing methods, developed by Ura Kotaki Sakonji and used by Tomioka, Murata, Moleto, Makushige, Tanjiro and Kanzaki Aoi.

breath of the sun
Protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, voiced by Natsuki Hanae, will soon be piloting the so-called “Aichi Kagura,” or “Breath of the Sun.” This is the oldest and most powerful form of breathing used to develop the fire, water, moon, thunder, stone and wind breathing techniques used by demon slayers today. It mimics the strength and versatility of the sun, weakening the demon’s ability to regenerate.
This way of breathing is still a well-kept secret by the Kamado family. It has 13 techniques, which are different from other styles in that they are not listed as “first style” etc., but are just named according to their movements, such as “Dragon Riguang Ringtou Dance”.
