Breath of Gambling (Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Breath of Gambling is a new breathing style that was derived from Breath of Chaos. The style was invented and self taught by Gyan Bura who created this breath for specifically to use with his new weapon after he left the Demon Slayer Corps

Sun --> Flame --> Chaos --> Gambling

## History

After Gyan left the Demon Slayer Corps he wanted to rid himself of any memory he had of his time with them, which included getting rid of his weapon. However he did know that his Nichirin Blade was the only kind of weapon that can kill a demon. So instead of full on getting rid of his he instead had it reforged into a new weapon, one that he would use instead of his blade. This weapon was a Naginata which while it proved to be deadly, it however did limit him from being able to his the Breath of Chaos forms due to them being only preformed by a sword. Using the things he learned from the form he created a brand new form that is the only breathing form that actually uses the naginata instead of a sword. This form would be known as the Breath of Gambling which reflects his massive love for gambling and contains similar traits to the chaos breathing forms such as its unpredictable nature.

## Overview

The Breath of Gambling is a form that was derived with Chaos Breathing, as such there are some slimier traits to that form. The main similarity is the unpredictable nature of the techniques as it is just as dangerous to preform these forms as it is to recive attacks from these forms. The form unlike chaos breathing focuses on using tactics and wit rather then using brute force and pure power which makes this form more suitable for those who use wit rather then force to overcome enemy's. The forms are devastating on there own however they truly shine when someone who can strategically use them to manipulate the battle into there favor. When forms are preformed playing cards along with a red and black trail of energy comes from the blade reflecting the gambling form.

**6. Sixth Form:** **Ring of Cards**- The user runs in a circle around a perimeter he chose with the blade of the naginata forming a line on the ground. When the circle is complete a strong wall made of cards form which can only be brought down with the naginata blade that created the wall strikes at the wall.

**7. Seventh Form: 52 Card Cut Up** - The user preforms a dangerous wild form on a target that consists of 52 powerful and lightning fast slashes that takes about 1 second to preform then is finished with a strike with the butt of the weapon. When preformed right it would completely slice and dice a target leaving the victim in tact then completely fall apart when struck with the butt of the weapon. If done wrong the form can easily slice or impale the user the user.

**8. Eight Form: Blackjack Slam** - The user leaps into the air and slams the naginata at the ground using the butt end of the weapon. When struck the ground around the user would start to shake a bit knocking enemy's off balance in a 50 radios of the point that was struck.

**11. Eleventh Form: Gamblers Luck** - The user preforms an extremely unpredictable and difficult set of attacks that are preformed almost like an acrobat. When done correctly it is an extremely unpredictable form that can easily butcher someone with the blade of the naginata. If done wrong, this form has the potential of killing the user.

**12. Twelfth Form: All In** - This is Gyan's signature form of the Breath of Gambling, and while over time he has taught a little of what he knows of this breathing style. This particular form he has never taught and will always keep to himself. The user enters into a state of pure offence causing the user to have there speed, reflexes, and attack power greatly increased for about a minute. The main strengths from this form allows a user to move so quick they are able to evade any attack and being able to strike so hard they can knock down an entire brick wall with a single strike. While in this state the users eyes will glow red in color and often acts in a much more excited and wild manner. The big downfall however to this form is when the form ends, the user is left in a very exhausted state to the point of barely being able to hold up there own weapon. As such this form is mainly used as a finisher if the need arrives.

## Trivia

* This is the only breathing form not to be used with a sword.
* The eye color changing and wild manner caused in the twelfth form is a reference to kagegurui when Yumeko Jabami gets thrilled while gambling.
