#breathing styles

[sarcastic-kaz]

Tanjiro: oh by the way Zenitsu, thank you for telling me how to use Thunder Breathing! It really helped against Upper Four! Zenitsu: wait what Tanjiro, who can use like four different breathing styles: Zenitsu, who can only use one form from his breathing style: Genya in the bed beside Tanjiro, who can't use breathing styles at all: Genya: gee, you want a medal?

╭┈◦•◦❥•◦ Second Form: Avalanche - The user concentrates on gathering strength before swinging their blade vertically, which is more effective when the user falls downward. (Like Tanjiro's waterfall basin, but with snow lol)

╭┈◦•◦❥•◦ Third Form: Music in the Winter - The user will swing their sword, and as a visual effect, their opponent will be surrounded by a thick, icy cloud, giving them time to decapitate the opponent.

Tips for Creating Breathing Styles?

Hello,

So, I'm making a breathing style to go with a character (and there's logical reasons I'm having them make a breathing style, but I'm not going to spoil that here) and I would like some pointers/tips/constructive criticism if y'all are cool with that. I'm kinda just going to copy and paste my notes into here so any name mentions are my character and can just be ignored.

Note(s):

I am not Japanese nor am I a practitioner of Shinto so any criticism of my lack of knowledge will be ignored cause I'm already rather aware of that. That's why I'm asking for help.

Also, you do not even know how much research I've already put into this project so just kindly point me in the right direction and I will happily fuck off.

Also also, don't judge my egregious use of wikipedia. If there are better sources I should be using please just tell me what they are.

Anyways, thanks in advance, here's my notes:

Vaguely based off the mikagura Ren does during festivals

Kind of mimicking the mai and odori portions of the dance

I should probably look up videos for reference; that might help

Is an offshoot of Kaminari no Kokyu and ~technically~ Hono no Kokyu

Also technically based off of firestorms, but my idiot doesn’t know wtf that is

https://scijinks.gov/firestorm/

Named after Shonetsu Jigoku? Or Daishonetsu Jigoku?

Would name it Kasai Arashi but that’s a bit of a mouthful and also, as previously stated, Ren doesn’t know wtf that even is

I’m also an idiot so I don’t know if that’s even the correct term

Most of my knowledge comes from this page among others

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_Shinto

Ren is a Miko which is why there is heavy inspiration taken from Shinto in the katas

Katas:

1st Kata: Kiyome (Purity)

A languid slash that leaves behind a feeling of peace

Usually used when an oni surrenders

If the slash doesn’t behead the oni, the oni’s regeneration ability is reduced

Helps them to remember some human memories?

2nd Kata: Mikagura (Shinto Dance)

Maybe have a reference to Amaterasu or Ame-no-Uzume since they were the ones that started the legend that created kagura

Footwork taken from the mikagura dance? I don’t know shit about sword-fighting

3rd Kata: Hyoi (Possession)

A spinning slash that includes multiple rotations

The demon slayer’s strength and reflexes are then greatly enhanced for a time?

Kind of meant to mimic the end of the mai portion to a mikagura when the miko is meant to be possessed by a kami

Ends up creating a fire whirl as well

4th Kata: Izanami (One of the First Kami)

The effect of the attack creates a feeling of burning alive

Kind of like how Izanami died giving birth to Kagutsuchi

5th Kata: Akuryo Taisan (Exorcism (essentially, but kind of not really))

I have no idea what this would do yet but it would definitely hurt

I imagine it would also hurt without a nichirin weapon tho

6th Kata: Tatarigami (Cataclysmic Demons)

A reference to the fact this is based off of firestorms?

The effect of this one would be even more if it comes right after the 3rd, 8th, or 9th kata. Or maybe after any other kata

It's a combo kata I guess

Probably a strike that focuses on power?

7th Kata: Amano-Iwato (the cave Amaterasu hid in)

A slash that creates a bright flash of light that mimics sunlight

Can disorient and blind an opponent

Meant to reference when Amaterasu left her cave after hiding

Maybe I’ll just call it Amaterasu so Izanami’s not the only god referenced

8th Kata: Jigoku (Hell)

Eight consecutive attacks that burn more and more as they reach the end

Has the effect of reducing an oni’s regeneration ability

There’s a special effect for each attack but I don’t know what they are yet

All I know is they represent each level of Jigoku

Or maybe the effect is that there is more and more of an actual firestorm around them as the attacks continue?

Final slash results in a bigass explosion like from a pyrocumulonimbus?

9th Kata: Kuji-Kiri (Nine Symbolic Cuts)

Nine consecutive slashes and cuts made in the correct horizontal and vertical order while saying the yo and in-syllables in the correct order

Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen?

The effect of this kata greatly reduces an oni’s regeneration ability

If the Kuji-Kiri is done to an oni w/out a nichirin sword it still hurts like a bitch imo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuji-in

Uh... I think that's it. If I remember or come up with anything else I'll probably just edit it in.

Legacy: A Demon Slayer Story S1 Chapter 1: The Beginning

Note: This story is a fanfic and crossover with another Wattpad story by Rebecca Sullivan called Night Owls and Summer Skies. A really amazing and cute story that I recommend reading, oh and it also has a Webtoon adaptation!

                                               »»-----　　-----««

Synopsis: 11 years since his mother was murdered by a demon, and after discovering a two-century-old family legacy, full of hatred, rage, and self-loathing, 18-year-old Tsukirou Kirigami vows revenge and becomes a demon slayer. However, a tough challenge presents itself as Tsukirou, and his best friend Haru are both stationed at Bellcrest High-school in the town of York, Maine. Can Tsukirou, who's never been to school before, Haru, who is somehow excited about the whole predicament, And their newest teammate Emma, pose as normal high-school students while simultaneously dealing with bullies, high-school drama, and protecting the town from Muzan's demons?

                                              »»-----　　-----««

A long time ago when I was young, my mother got me a telescope for my 7th birthday that I could use to see the stars every night, and it meant the whole world to me. We only had each other back then, just me and my mom.

These were the dreams that I see every night, if only they could last forever...

But there is no time to dream...

Your dreams are nothing more than painful and sorrowful memories of the past...

Your pain will never go away until you cut that bastard's head off. When that time finally comes is the day you can finally rest in peace...

So go, Tsukiro Kirigami, prove to the world that her death wasn't meaningless...

AVENGE MOM'S DEATH!!!

Tsukiro woke up startled by the dream- no, memory, tears streaming down his cheeks as he gasped for air.

'Mom...'

He wiped the tears from his eyes as he stood up from his makeshift bed. He stumbled quite a bit as the boat he was on hit a large wave making it rock back and forth, not to mention that it was raining outside. The door to the cabin creaked open due to its rusty hinges as his companion for the mission entered the cabin and looked at him with concern.

"Another nightmare Tsuki?" His burgundy-haired friend, who was soaking wet even with the raincoat he was wearing, asked with concern in his tone.

"...Yeah, I'm fine, but how did you-"

"Everyone could hear you screaming from the main deck."

A small 'oh' escaped his lips as he looked away in embarrassment. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about Tsuki, the dream...w-what was it about this time?" His friend asked.

He hesitated for a moment before sighing.

"Same thing every night, except different, I mean they're always the same but the way they go each night is different." He clasped his head between his hands as his friend sat next to him on the bed and comforted him.

"T-They never go away..."

His companion stayed by his side and listened, doing his best to comfort Tsukiro from the nightmare he witnessed in his sleep.

'They're frequently getting worse. I'm getting worried for Tsukiro...'

"WE'RE HERE BOYS!!!" The ship's captain's booming voice called out that stood out from the sounds of the storm that was brewing outside.

"We're here, Haru get ready," Tsukiro said as he adopted a more serious and stone-cold expression as he got up and walked over to the corner of the room to pick up his things, especially his katana.

His friend, Haru, nodded albeit still showing concern for his friend as he too went to pick up his sword. The two walked outside and headed to the main deck. The captain, a large burly middle-aged man with a beard, wearing an eyepatch, eyed the both of them as they arrived on deck with their swords strapped to their waists.

"This is as far as I can get you boys, the island is right up ahead, all ya' gotta do is jump down to the shore and lay waste to those monsters."

They both nodded in agreement as they were nearing the destination of their mission. Both of them, as well as other groups of slayers, were sent on an emergency mission to a remote island in the Philippines where demon activity has been spiking for the past few months. A group of slayers was stationed on the island to exterminate the demons and ensure the safety of the inhabitants. However, approx. 31 hours ago they sent an emergency distress signal and a message requesting backup, as massive hordes of demons overwhelmed them and were rampaging across the island ravaging towns and people's homes eating and killing civilians.

"Nervous?" Haru asked Tsukiro.

"Fuck no. This is just where the fun begins."

Once the coast was in the ship's vicinity, Tsukiro and Haru prepared to take off. "Hold on, wait! I haven't got both yer names yet!" The captain called out.

They both stopped for a moment to look back at the captain.

"Name's Tsukiro, Kirigami Tsukiro." He said before leaping off the ship, hand on his sword's hilt.

"Kamado Haru," Haru said as well before taking off in a burst of speed after his friend.

*usually Japanese people introduce themselves by saying their surnames first.

The captain chuckled, "Godspeed to you boys...".

»»-----　　-----««

His eyes were sharp and focused as he and Haru made their way in the direction of the smoke and screams, leaving behind a trail of dust as they both ran at inhuman speeds.

The rhythm of his breathing changed, it followed a stronger pattern as he moved at a speed that normal people couldn't follow nor could they ever achieve if they didn't go through the training he and others did.

But Tsukiro and Haru aren't just normal people.

They were Demon Slayers. And right now the safety of people's lives rested in their hands.

Tsukiro skidded to a stop, a large demon with a bulky frame showed itself in front of him. It stood over 3 meters tall and had large burly arms, it barred its teeth at him in an almost creepy grin as it began to walk towards him slowly with its arms stretched out.

Entering a stance, Tsukiro took a deep breath...

Total Concentration Breathing...

He initiated a powerful jump into the air putting himself above the demon, he quickly unsheathes his nichirin sword as he began to descend from the air.

"Hiten Mitsurugi Style: First Form..."

The demon was almost instantly decapitated. Its lifeless and headless body fell to the ground with a thud as it started to slowly turn into ash.

"Dragon Hammer Flash!"

Tsukiro gracefully landed on the ground, he turned around to look at the demon's dead body and scoffed as he wipes off the blood from his sword using his sleeve.

2 smaller demons leaped towards him from the treetops aiming to get the drop on him. Tsukiro sidesteps out of the way and swings his sword upwards decapitating one demon. The other remaining demon tried to swipe at his neck behind him, Tsukiro removed his sword's scabbard from his waist and used it as he spun around and broke the demon's arms, before the demon could regenerate from the damage it was immediately decapitated by Tsukiro.

He sensed more demons nearby approaching, he didn't waste any more time as he quickly moved to kill the demons within the surrounding areas

»»-----　　-----««

Meanwhile with Haru

Haru was carrying an injured woman on his back, she groaned and gasped in pain as he quickly made his way down towards the beach where the medical unit is treating injured slayers and civilians.

'I've gotta hurry real quick, she's bleeding out and I don't have a tourniquet on me.'

A group of three demons was chasing him from behind, Haru halted to a stop as he turned around to face all three of them head-on.

"Water Breathing: Second Form: Water Wheel!"

In one fluid horizontal circular motion, Haru swung his sword leaving behind a trail of water. The demons didn't stand a chance as all three of them were decapitated at the same time.

Another demon appeared behind him and tried to lunge at him, only to be met by a knee strike to the face from Tsukiro and a sword through its neck.

"Thanks, Tsuki!"

"Dumbass, watch your back next time!!"

Haru then left to bring the injured to the medical unit leaving Tsukiro behind to deal with the remaining demons.

"*Shinsoku!!"

*Meaning: Godspeed

At a speed that rivaled lightning itself, Tsukiro dashed forward a great distance decapitating demons left and right that were in the way of the technique.

He checked his watch and saw that there were only a few hours left until sunrise.

'Only 5 more hours left until sunrise, which means that if I-We don't hurry and finish these bastards off, they'll retreat and have a chance to multiply again'

He perched himself on top of a tall building and observed the other smoke pillars and fires all across the island rising from the ground and turning the night sky orange and black.

He could hear other demon slayers fighting as they engaged in combat with the monsters.

Without wasting any more time, Tsukiro used Shinsoku once more to quickly close the distance and reach the source of the violence eager to kill more demons.

»»-----　　-----««

"Water Breathing: Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust, Curve!"

Haru exclaimed as he landed a fast and accurate stab through the neck of a small, fast-moving, flying demon headed his way.

there were only 3 hours left until sunrise. Tsukiro, Haru, and the rest of the other slayers had already killed a great number of demons on the island, as well as rescued a great number of civilians. Although it can't be said that there were no casualties.

A total of over a hundred demon slayers have been killed during the battle, leaving the rest to finish the mission and secure the island.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder catches both of their attention.

'Bout' time one of them showed up!' Tsukiro thought.

'Nice! right on time!!' Haru thought.

It was a great relief indeed, because a Hashira arrived.

"I wonder who the corps sent?"

"Beats me, it better be someone strong."

A tall figure, covered in blood, lands in front of them.

"Ah! Tsukiro-kun, Haru-kun, glad to see the both of you are still alive!"

It was the current Thunder Hashira, Kazuya Kinoshita. A man in his thirties with short slightly spiky black hair, he was wearing a specialized version of the corps standard uniform with a military jacket to top it off. The one thing that made him stand out was that he had only one arm.

"Kinoshita-san!"

"Yo old man, bout time ya' showed up."

"Tsukiro! Don't be rude!" Haru scolded his friend.

A tick mark grew on Kazuya's forehead as he refrained from bonking Tsukiro on his head.

"I'm not old, I'm only 35!"

"Uh-huh, yep whatever you say," Tsukiro said nonchalantly.

"Ahem!-- So, status report you two."

"The rest of the civilians have been evacuated, the injured are being tended to as we speak, and we're still taking care of the demons because there's still so many remaining, but that won't be an issue anymore now that you're here Kinoshita-san," Haru spoke.

Kazuya nodded before turning to Tsukiro.

"What about you Kirigami?"

"Well, I've already wiped out the bastards in the west, and south of the island-"

"Wait! That fast?!!" Haru looked at his friend in astonishment. Well, it was expected from Tsukiro, always stealing the kill from other slayers, always finding ways to kill as many demons as he can.

"What are your instructions Kinoshita-San?"

"I'll be taking the lead on this mission, the two of you assist your fellow slayers and secure the island, kill every last demon you see, when the sun comes up we regroup along with the other slayers at the nearest town, understood?"

"HAI!" The two of them said in agreement.

With that, the three of them split off to accomplish what they came here for.

»»-----　　-----««

There were only a few minutes left until sunrise. With the help of the Thunder Hashira, they were able to wipe out the remaining demons on the island faster.

"Hiten Mitsurugi Style: Seventh Form: Dragon-Soaring Flash!!"

Swinging his sword upwards which took the form of a flying dragon, while initiating a powerful jump into the air, Tsukiro kills 4 demons at once.

'alright, that's all of them.'

Landing in a somersault to cushion his fall, Tsukiro stood up and wiped the blood off his sword. He then doubled over in exhaustion as he used his sword to support his body, keeping him from falling over.

'This whole mission took a toll on my body, I should've been mindful on how many times I use Shinsoku...'

"CAW! CAW!"

He looked above and saw his Kasugai Crow flying down from the air and landing on his shoulder.

"CAW! REGROUP! REGROUP! CAW! MEET UP WITH HASHIRA KAZUYA KINOSHITA AT THE NEAREST TOWN!"

"Alright, Alright, you didn't have to scream in my fucking ear."

His crow took off flight again leaving him on his own. With that, he pulled out his tactical phone, which is given to every single slayer in the corps for various uses, from the small bag attached to his belt. Opening the GPS, he checked the location of the nearest town and immediately headed there.

With Haru...

Haru found himself in a bit of a situation right now.

In front of him, a middle-aged couple was trying their hardest to restrain their teenage daughter.

"LORNA! Honey stop it!!" Her mother cried.

Her plead was in vain as her daughter kept thrashing around trying to bite her father's arm.

"S-Sweetheart, please listen to our voices, we're going to get you help, e-everything will be alright!?" Her father cried.

But still, their pleas fell on deaf ears as their daughter kept on thrashing and biting, her eyes were blood-red and foam was coming out of her mouth.

Haru turned to the Hashira standing next to him who was looking at the scene with sad eyes, "Kinoshita-San...what should we do?"

Before he could get an answer, Tsukiro arrived at the scene, he gazed at the couple trying to reach out to their daughter for a few moments, "What's going on here?" He asked Haru.

"Their daughter...she's been demonized" Haru responded. He felt great empathy for the family of three and how desperate the husband and wife were at trying to calm their daughter down.

Tsukiro however, unsheathed his nichirin sword from its scabbard and strode towards the family.

"Tsukiro?"

He finally stood in front of them catching their attention, he stared at them with cold blank eyes as he firmly gripped his sword. Seeing the blade in his hand, the couple held on to their daughter tighter.

"I'm gonna have to need you two to move."

However, they didn't understand him because Tsukiro was speaking japanese.

"They can't understand you Tsuki, try speaking in english," Haru suggested.

Tsukiro took Haru's suggestion and spoke again, this time in english.

"I'm afraid your daughter's been turned into a demon. When demon blood enters the body, either through open wounds or orally, they become demons. I'm sorry to say this, but there's no hope for your daughter."

This made their eyes widen, then they started pleading.

"N-No, not demon, s-she's good girl, there must be something you can do, p-please sir!" The father spoke in broken strings of english.

"There's nothing we can do, once someone becomes a demon they are damned to eat human flesh and blood for as long as they live."

He flashed his sword.

"I'm going to decapitate your daughter now, so please move out of the way."

This made them cry and beg even harder.

Tsukiro gained an irritated look.

"I said move..."

He pushed both of them away before roughly grabbing the daughter's hair and aligning his sword on her neck.

"TSUKI WAIT!!-"

*SLASH*

The daughter's severed head fall to the ground, much to the horror of her parents.

"AAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

The parents screamed in horror and despair as they see their daughter's body slowly disintegrate into ashes.

Tsukiro sheathed his sword and started to walk away, "The mission's done, let's get out of here."

Haru stared at his friend's retreating figure in shock then stared at the inconsolable couple in horror before running after his friend.

The couple's cries and anguish-stricken shrieks echoed across the island as they tried to hold on to what was left of their little girl.

Kazuya sighed and pinched the bridge between his nose before giving out orders to the other demon slayers and kakushi on what was left that needed to be done.

»»-----　　-----««

Tsukiro was making his way down towards the beach, where the ferries were waiting to pick them up after their mission, before he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Haru giving him an angry look.

"What the hell was that back there?!!"

"I killed a demon, that's what happened."

"You killed their daughter in front of their eyes!!"

"Their daughter was already dead the moment demonic blood entered her veins."

Haru couldn't believe what he was hearing right now from his best friend.

"B-But, Tsuki you could've handled that more gently, what you did back there was out of line."

This made Tsukiro glare hard at Haru.

"Then what did you expect me to do Haru? Tell them sugar-coated lies? Give them false hope? Oh! Tell them fairy tales? By killing that girl, I stopped more people from getting killed and one less monster to worry about. We came to this island to do our jobs and we did just that so let's just go. "

Shrugging off Haru's hand, Tsukiro stomped away towards the beach leaving Haru to look at his friend with sympathy.

Breathing Style Thoughts

Water Breathing is essentially the (to use Star Wars terms) Niman of Breathing Styles. Easiest to learn, with a focus on adaptation and wide range of techniques more specialized in within other forms.

It’s kinda thought of as the general form because of this, but true masters, with a firm grasp/mastery with all of its techniques are some of the most skilled amongst the core.

And finally on the Water Breathing Appreciation Train, it’s the form most similar to Sun Breathing (other than the Hinokami Kagura, ofc),  taking the aforementioned wide array of techniques and fluidity at the expense of the sheer raw power, speed, and explosiveness of it. And thus, it is also the best form to use as a base to learn Sun Breathing.

I will fully admit that this is influenced by the fact that the one Sun user we see extensively began as a Water Style user.

Concerning other Styles, the Moon Breathing we see in the Manga is very different from what Michikatsu used, influenced by Kokushibou’s BDA and the fact he hasn’t really needed to, y’know, dodge, in the past few centuries.

The OG Moon Breathing carried influences of Wind, Thunder, and ironically given it’s earlier invention, Mist.

Insect Breathing is as much a derivative of Thunder Breathing as it is Flower Breathing.

About Breathing Styles' effects not being real

To all those people complaining about it (especially on Twitter, it seems), I'm just gonna say this:

Enjoy the manga and/or the anime (or both, too) for what it is <3

Seriously, though, if you don't want to accept the canon definition and believe everything is real, then do so but don't go harass other fans because of this.

Write fanfictions, draw fanarts, share your headcanons about how hot Kyojuro's fire is (heheh), just don't shit on other fans, Gotouge and her work.

#demon slayer #kimetsu no yaiba #kny #koyoharu gotouge #breathing styles #demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba #demon slayer kny #my two cents #gotoge koyoharu #kny manga #kny anime #demon slayer anime #demon slayer manga #canon #tbh I like to imagine those effects being real but I don't shit on the manga and the anime because of this #I love kny too much #and this is why in my fanfic the breathing styles' effects are real lol #people like to complain too much #boy don't get me started on those complaining about the ending too #i'm screaming

Demon Slayer hashira OC.

The Raven Hashira

He invented a subtype of air breathing he calls Feather Breathing.

While he is competent as any other hashira, he mainly helps take care of the crows before they are assigned to Slayers.

Sunset, are you considering becoming a teacher?

yes i am when i find any creatures that are having trouble learning firebending or who wants to learn flame breathing to kill demons

#sunset shimmer #question answered #breathing styles #demon slayer #element bending #becoming a teacher

[neitonexus]

If everyone wants to write a fanfic about demon slayer u can actually used chatgpt to write breathing styles, here’s the example in case anyone wants to try this:

Write me (name) breathing

For example:

(Name) breathing (#) form: (and a phrase that’s related to your breathing style)

And give a description of what each form does

And effects as well

Give visuals on what it looks like: (example: what surround your character and your characters weapon)

Not sure if this part is necessary to add but:

Reminder: this has to do with fights and attacks

Attack description: (explain what ur character looks like when fighting bad guys)

The type of weapon you use

Add on how ur character fights and example u can put:

Example: this character is fast and agile (this is just an example u don’t need to put this)

When (blank) it’s like (they) are dancing (this is just an example

I also want to add that it doesn’t really put the (#) form

Here’s the example that I used

Character used: juvia lockser:

Flower Breathing Form: Petal Dance

Description: Juvia channels the essence of blooming flowers, gracefully moving and twirling like a delicate petal caught in a gentle breeze. Her movements are fluid, displaying her flexibility and agility as she engages in combat.

Visual: As Juvia performs Petal Dance, swirling petals manifest around her, creating a captivating and enchanting atmosphere. The petals follow her graceful movements, accentuating her attacks and adding an ethereal beauty to her fighting style.

Effects: Each strike from Juvia's whip becomes infused with the essence of flower petals, enhancing their cutting power and leaving behind a lingering floral fragrance. The petals also have a calming effect on her opponents, momentarily distracting them and reducing their focus and reaction time.

Also if u want more breathing styles

U can just say continue in part 2 and you’ll get more

Have fun!!!

Heroic Clan of the Breath

A Demon Slayer x My Hero Academia prompt.

What if records of Total Concentration Breathing and various Breathing Styles survived the rise of Quirks? What if it was in the form of a modern-day Quirk-age samurai clan? What if Midoriya Izuku was the heir to this clan?

Basically, an Izuku is the heir to a clan story idea that’s unrelated to the yakuza. Here, his family are descendants of demon slayers and had kept as much documentation on their methods as possible for the future, in case demons ever rose again. This would later come in handy when Quirks started to appear as the family dived into the documents and started to bring back their ancestors’ arts to use against villains. They’d later branch the family off into various branch families with connections in the various fields of heroics as the industry expands, becoming one of the most illustrious families in the hero industry.

Fast forward to Izuku’s generation. His family still holds a lot of power within the industry due to their connections and the overall strength of their members since, for some reason, even the people that should be biologically Quirkless have above-average physical abilities to go with their swordsmanship. The clan keeps their breathing techniques a secret so as to not cause another uproar and villain population as a result. The clan only has documentation on the five basic Breathing Styles derived from Sun Breathing, Water, Stone, Fire, Wind, and Thunder. However, they branch off to make styles more comfortable for them and their Quirks. The Quirked members use their abilities to enhance their Breathing Styles, like how  Kokushibo and Kaigaku used their Blood Demon Arts.

Then there is Izuku Midoriya. The Quirkless heir to the family that seems to be unable to master any of the five basic Breathing Styles. He even appears unable to create a specialized one that better fits his needs. He’s brought about in-fighting within the clan as a large faction doesn’t see him suited to take over his father’s role due to his lack of a Quirk and inaptitude with any of the Breathing Styles. However, Izuku’s inability stems from how restrictive each Breathing Style is because he’s a natural Sun Breather, and all his teachers mainly focused on their individual Styles over trying to combine them.

So, Izuku has to fight for his place as a hero and within his family while rediscovering the lost first Breathing Style and possibly learning how to control One For All as well. If you still want him to gain the Quirk. He has to fight off members trying to usurp his position as heir along with the League of Villains.

A fun thing you could possibly do is have some of the more martial arts adept students like Ojiro, Kendo, and Rin learn Total Concentration Breathing from Izuku.
