## Breathing Style (Credit to AadiGamerz)

**Eclipse Breathing** (日食呼吸 *Nisshoku no kokyū*) is a unique Breathing Style that is a combination of two styles, Moon Breathing, and Sun Breathing. To the user, the techniques look like black fire. The Eclipse Breathing combat style mimics eclipses' speed and versatility and replicates it with the user's movements. Most techniques rely on speed, agility, and raw power.

### Techniques

* **First Form: Swift Ecliptic Slash** (迅速な強力な黄道のスラッシュ *Ichi no kata: Jinsokuna kyōryokuna kōdō no surasshu) -* A powerful swift horizontal semi-circular slash aiming to cut off a demon's head.

* **Second Form: Sun Palace, Thunderous Eclipse** (サンパレス サンダース・エクリプス *Ni no kata: Sanparesu sandāsu ekuripusu) -* Appears to be a constantly moving wave of black fire, which looks like a mix of Sun Breathing, Second Form: Clear Blue Sky and Moon Breathing, Eight Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail.

* **Third Form: Dark Waves of Fury** (怒りの暗黒の致命的な波 *San no kata: Ikari no chimei-tekina nami) -* Similar to Sun Breathing's Raging Sun, the user strikes the air multiple times to send a wave of powerful slashes spiraling in a large radius.

* **Fourth Form: Ecliptic Dragon** (灼熱の黄道竜 *Shi no kata: Shakunetsu no kōdō ryū) -* This powerful attack takes the shape of a constantly shifting black dragon, similar to Water Breathing's Constant Flux technique.

* **Fifth Form: Darkness Devour** (大胆な恐怖を誘発する闇 *Go no kata: Daitan'na kyōfu o yūhatsu suru yami*) - In this attack, the user walks towards the target slowly while there appears to be total darkness around, giving the target a false sense of safety. Once in close range, the user blinds the opponent by slashing the eyes and then repeatedly stabs the body before swiftly slicing the head.

* **Sixth Form: Sunrise Burning Slashes** (日の出の質問 *Roku no kata: Hinode no shitsumon)* - The user dashes from left to right, disorienting the demon and then flips 360 degrees to chop the opponent in half while simultaneously splitting them into tiny pieces.

* **Seventh Form: Shadow Edge** (シャドーエッジ *Shichi no kata: Shadōejji)* - The user spins around in a chaotic storm-like pattern, chopping surrounding opponents into shreds.

* **Eight Form: Spirit Dance** (精霊の舞 *Hachi no kata: Seirei no Mai* - The user swings his/her blade with such force the wind power generated acts like an extension of the blade and can be used for long-range attacks.

* **Ninth Form: Deceiving Red Moon** (赤い月を欺く *Ku no kata: Akai tsuki o azamuku)* - The user appears to glow for a brief moment before dashing forward and slicing the enemy's head. Easiest form to master but the weakest (depending on the user's strength).

* **Tenth Form: Shore of Life and Fire** (生命と火の岸辺 *Jū no kata: Seimei to hi no kishibe)* - A complex form requiring strong swings and complex footwork. The user holds the blade above the head while it is coated in black flames before leaping to and fro while defending and attacking. Very powerful and will stun the enemy.

* **Eleventh Form: Heat of Appearance** (出現熱 *Jū ichi no kata: Shutsugen netsu)* - The most powerful attack. The user appears to be shrouded in darkness before a wave of black and red flames strikes the enemy. After it clears, a giant black replica of the user appears to be mimicking the user's movements, and this form then combines all the forms into one, supremely powerful one before appearing to teleport away. The user then slashes the opponent into shreds again using an improved version of Seventh Form: Shadow Edge. This move, due to its immense strain produced on the body and the power required, needs a Demon Slayer Mark and Red Blade to accomplish and is even more powerful if a user of one of Eclipse Breathing's parent styles is involved.
