Flame Breathing
Flame Breathing, originating from the Sengoku period, is a captivating Breathing Style derived from Sun Breathing. It emulates the ferocity and intensity of flames, manifesting in the user's movements and techniques. This style focuses on potent singular strikes that "burn" adversaries while often commencing from a high stance. Visualizing the creation and manipulation of fire is a core aspect of Flame Breathing techniques.
Initially developed by the head of the Rengoku family, this personalized Breathing Style arose from Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attempt to impart Sun Breathing, adjusted to suit individual strengths and weaknesses. Throughout generations, the Rengoku family upheld this tradition, with the Flame Hashira role exclusively reserved for their lineage.
Despite Kyojuro Rengoku's role in preserving this legacy, following his demise, the tradition of passing down Flame Breathing techniques ceased. This profound style comprises nine techniques, including the exclusive Ninth Form: Rengoku, known as an "Esoteric Art."
