Insect Breathing
Insect Breathing is a fascinating and deadly combat style derived from Flower Breathing in the Kimetsu no Yaiba series. Created by the skilled and resourceful Shinobu Kocho, this breathing technique focuses on emulating the movements and attacks of insects, primarily their lethal stings.
The adept use of specially coated swords allows practitioners to inflict shallow wounds and inject various lethal wisteria-based poisons into their targets. The visualization of insects, especially butterflies, accompanies the unleashing of these lethal techniques. Furthermore, these striking abilities compensate for Shinobu's lack of physical strength, making her an exceptionally formidable opponent.
Notably, the breathing style can only be executed with a unique katana featuring a needle-like tip, closely resembling an insect's stinger. With techniques like Butterfly Dance: Caprice and Dance of the Bee Sting: True Flutter, Insect Breathing stands as a remarkable and potent addition to the world of combat styles in the series.
