Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains ( 参 ( さん ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 厭 ( えん ) 忌 ( き ) 月 ( づき ) ・ 銷 ( つが ) り, San no kata: Enkidzuki - Tsugari ?) - Kokushibo performs two extremely broad crescent-shaped slashes directly in front of him, from which a storm of smaller crescent moon blades are released. Second Form: Pearl Flower Moongazing ( 弐 ( に ) の 型 ( かた ) 珠 ( しゅ ) 華 ( か ) ノ 弄 ( ろう ) 月 ( げつ ), Ni no kata: Shuka no Rōgetsu ?) - Kokushibo performs three crescent-shaped slashes while releasing a multitude of crescent moon blades along with them. This technique is extremely reminiscent of Iaijutsu. First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace ( 壱 ( いち ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 闇 ( やみ ) 月 ( づき ) ・ 宵 ( よい ) の 宮 ( みや ), Ichi no kata: Yamidzuki - Yoi no Miya ?) - Kokushibo draws his katana and performs a singular horizontal slash following a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic crescent blades along its path, before sheathing it back into his scabbard. Moreover, several of the forms were performed with an elongated version of Kokushibo's flesh katana. Note: Since all of the Moon Breathing techniques shown are performed either with the help of or in conjunction with a Blood Demon Art, it is unknown how a human swordsman will perform these techniques. Kokushibo uses Moon Breathing in conjunction which his Blood Demon Art, which allows him to unleash barrages of erratic crescent moon-shaped blades, an ability which compliments his Breathing Style and also made it more deadly and effective.Īs Kyojuro Rengoku and Muichiro Tokito, two high-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, was not aware of the existence of Moon Breathing, it is possible that the knowledge of its existence was either lost in history (similar to the Demon Slayer Marks) or intentionally forbidden due to the associated user's actions: defecting to Muzan Kibutsuji and killing a head of the Demon Slayer Corps.ĭue to Kokushibo's centuries-long existence, he has created the most number of forms out of all known Breathing Styles, having developed a minimum of 16 techniques by the time of the Infinity Castle Arc. 
Moon Breathing is solely used by Michikatsu Tsugikuni, one of the first Demon Slayers who utilized Total Concentration Breathing, and is a Breathing Style which he continued using and perfecting after becoming a demon. When its creator, Michikatsu Tsugikuni, attempted to learn Sun Breathing from his twin brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he discovered he was unable to master it, instead creating and mastering an alternate Breathing Style which later became Moon Breathing.
Like all of the other original Breathing Styles, Moon Breathing also branched out of Sun Breathing. Most sword slashes performed follow the shape and pattern of crescent moons.
Most, if not all, known techniques and forms are standard yet varied swordsmanship techniques that focus on swift and powerful strikes which blends both offense and defense. Moon Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics the moon, specifically the shape of traditional crescent moons, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.
