Third Form: Raging Sun
The Third Form: Raging Sun of Sun Breathing in Demon Slayer is a influential and defensive technique used by characters in the anime. Unlike the first form of Sun Breathing, which involves a single vertical attack, the Raging Sun technique consists of two continuous horizontal slashes. This attack not only inflicts damage on opponents but also pushes them back, providing the user with a defensive advantage.
The move is demonstrated by Tanjiro as he counters the sentient obi of Daki, an Upper-Rank demon in the Entertainment District arc. While the Raging Sun is effective for defense and counteracting multiple attacks, it does leave the user vulnerable on other sides, especially when facing widespread opponents. This technique offers a strategic advantage in battles, allowing the user to create space, delay incoming attacks, and navigate the battlefield effectively.
