Ichika uses this Breath style as she is unable to cut a Demon's head just like Shinobu, however she is still just as deadly as the other Demon Slayers. Using this unique Breathing, she coats her weapon with poison made from Wisteria flower and alters the mixture and composition of the poisons inside her scabbard.

* **Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag** (蜈 (ご) 蚣 (こう) ノ舞 (まい)  陌 (ひゃく) 足 (そく) 蛇 (じゃ) 腹 (ばら)  , *Gokō no mai: Hyakusoku Jabara*?) - An attack where Ichika uses her full speed to run a zigzag pattern to confuse her opponent in order to create an opening for her to directly stab her opponent's neck and inject poison to kill them, with the stab's force and power being further enhanced by the momentum of her speed.

* **Dance of the Swarm: Kaleidoscope** (大 (たい) 群 (ぐん) ノ舞 (まい)  萬 (まん) 華 (げ) 鏡 (きょう) , *Taigun no mai: Mangekyō*?) - The ultimate dance of the Insect Breathing, based on the **Flower Breathing: Final Form - Equinoctial Vermilion Eye** in principle but is functionally unrelated. Ichika engages in combat meditation by focusing on their breath and forcing herself to alter her consciousness momentarily, shutting down every mental process that isn't related to the current combat situation at hand and focusing it all into analyzing visual and audio information. The end result is the user having the vision of an insect, gaining a kaleidoscopic vision of the battlefield where they cannot be surprised and reacting to attacks on muscle memory and instinct alone. This state is primarily used for defensive purposes as every movement performed with this dance is mechanical and easy to predict for high level opponents.
