* **Setting Sun Transformation** (斜陽転身 Shayō Tenshin, lit. "The Setting Sun") - The user backflips into the air to deliver a powerful upended sword slash.
* **Solar Heat Haze** (飛輪陽炎 Hirin Kagerō, lit. "Soaring Flame Haze") - The user charges towards the target, unleashing a horizontal slash seemingly covered in haze that fails to land, but actually does hit the target
* **Beneficent Radiance** (輝輝恩光 Kiki Onkō, lit. "Shining Ray Of Grace") - The user spirals into the air and delivers a powerful slash that surrounds the enemy.
* **Sunflower Thrust** (陽華突 Yōkatotsu, lit. "Sunflower Lance") - The user unleashes a single thrust attack with the point of the blade.
* **Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance** (日暈の龍・頭舞い Nichiun no Ryū Kaburimai, lit. "Solar Halo Dragon Dance") - The user unleashes a continuous fast and powerful sword attack that seemingly takes the form of a flaming sun dragon. This technique is capable of decapitating multiple enemies at once.

* **Fake Rainbow** (幻日虹 *Gen'nichi Kō*, lit. "Parhelion Rainbow") - The user performs high-speed twists and rotations, thus creating afterimages used mostly to evade attacks. The afterimages work most effectively on enemies with good vision.

* **Thirteenth Form** (拾参ノ型 *Jū San no kata*) - The user continuously performs all twelve forms of **Sun Breathing** in repetitive succession to increase the accuracy and agility of his movements while reducing fatigue. This form was created solely for the purpose of killing Muzan, since the repetition of all twelve forms aims to destroy Urami's eleven vital organs (six hearts and five brains) that move freely inside his body thanks to his shape-shifting ability.
