Inosuke Hashibira is an interesting demon slayer who uses a unique breathing style called Beast Breathing. This technique mimics the characteristics of wild animals.
In combat, Inosuke often displays an aggressive nature and moves instinctively. Furthermore, his attacks are quite brutal and unforgiving when facing demons.
In this article, we would like to discuss 11 Beast Breathing techniques mastered by Inosuke. Intrigued? Check out the full review below!
1. Ichi no Kiba: Ugachi Nuki
The first Beast Breathing technique is Ichi no Kiba: Ugachi Nuki. This technique is quite simple but deadly. When using this technique, Inosuke stabs the enemy's neck with both swords.
Inosuke demonstrated this technique during his fight against the spider father on Mount Natagumo. However, the attack is too weak to be effective against the extremely brutal father spider.
2. Ni no kiba: Kirisaki
Ni no kiba: Kirisaki is the second technique of the Beast Breathing. This technique allows Inosuke to unleash two slashes simultaneously in an X-shape.
Inosuke demonstrated this technique when he slashed the neck of a demon named Enmu, who was fused with the Mugen train. The attack was both aggressive and brutal.
3. San no kiba: Kuizaki
The third technique is San no kiba: Kuizaki. This technique was first demonstrated by Inosuke when he faced one of the demons at Kyogai's mansion.
When unleashing this technique, Inosuke will unleash two horizontal slashes at the opponent's neck. If the enemy is a weak demon, this attack can kill them instantly.
4. Shi no kiba: Kiri Komazaki
This technique is extremely powerful and has a very fatal effect on opponents. When unleashing this technique, Inosuke will unleash diagonal slashes with both swords.
Inosuke first demonstrated Shi no Kiba: Kiri Komazaki when he fought Enmu on the Mugen train. To defeat him, he needed to synchronize his attacks with Tanjiro's.
5. Go no Kiba: Kuruizaki
Next, there's the fifth technique called Go no Kiba: Kuruizaki. When using this technique, Inosuke will unleash slashes in multiple directions to deflect the enemy's attacks.
This technique was first demonstrated by Inosuke to destroy the part of Enmu's body that was fused with the train. His attacks are both fast and aggressive.
6. Roku no Kiba: Ranguigami
Roku no Kiba: Ranguigami is the sixth technique of the Beast Breath. This technique is quite sadistic as Inosuke slowly slits his opponent's neck with both swords.
Inosuke demonstrated this technique when he fought Daki. Although he was able to slash Daki with this technique, Daki survived after being saved by her brother.
7. Shichi no kata: Kūkan Shikikaku
Unlike the previous techniques, Shichi no kata: Kūkan Shikikaku is very useful for tracking enemies in the battle area.
When using this technique, Inosuke maximizes his senses. He first demonstrated this technique when he detected the demons on Mount Natagumo.
8. Hachi no kata: Bakuretsu Mōshin
Hachi no kata: Bakuretsu Mōshin is a technique that focuses on offense. When using this technique, Inosuke charges at full speed towards the enemy, ignoring all defenses.
This technique leaves Inosuke vulnerable to attack. To overcome this weakness, he needs protection from his teammates during battle. Inosuke demonstrated this technique when he wanted to finish off Daki with full force.
9. Ku no Kiba: Shin – Unerizaki
Inosuke's ninth technique is Ku no Kiba: Shin – Unerizaki. This technique hasn't appeared in the anime yet, as Inosuke only demonstrated it during his fight against Doma in chapter 159.
When using this technique, Inosuke swings his sword at the enemy with full force. Furthermore, this technique allows him to extend his attack range.
10. Jū no Kiba: Enten Senga
Next, there's the tenth Beast Breathing technique, called Jū no Kiba: Enten Senga. Inosuke also demonstrated this technique during his deadly fight against Doma in chapter 161.
When using this technique, Inosuke spins his sword in a circular motion. This technique is very useful for deflecting enemy attacks, such as bullets or similar attacks.
11. Omoitsuki no Nagesaki
Finally, there's an interesting technique called Omoitsuki no Nagesaki.
This technique allows Inosuke to throw his sword at an enemy. It appears in chapter 162, when Inosuke is in a desperate fight against Doma.
