* **First Form, Shivering Truth 壱いちノ型かた、戦せん慄りつの真実しんじつ (Ichi no kata, Senritsu no Shinjitsu):** The user of the First Form, Shivering Truth, executes a series of swift and precise diagonal slashes with their sword. Each strike is imbued with a unique energy that resonates with the target's body, causing an intense shiver to course through them. This shivering sensation not only delivers a stunning effect but also disrupts the target's focus and concentration. As the Demon Slayer's blade connects with the opponent, the shivers intensify, spreading throughout their body and momentarily paralyzing them with a numbing sensation. The target finds their movements sluggish and their reactions delayed, leaving them vulnerable to the impending final blow.
* **Second Form, Illusionnable Dancing Flow 弐にノ型かた、幻まぼろし舞うたいの流ながれ (Ni no kata, Maboroshi Butai no Nagare):** Similar to the Water Breathing technique's Third Form, Flowing Dance, the user of the Second Form, Illusionnable Dancing Flow, executes a mesmerizing series of fluid slashes. With a graceful and seamless movement, they effortlessly transition from one attack to another, creating a dance-like sequence of sword strikes. However, there is a distinct difference that sets this form apart. As the Demon Slayer unleashes their flurry of slashes, they harness the power of illusion and mist. With each precise stroke, a misty aura envelops the surrounding area, obscuring vision and creating an ethereal atmosphere. The mist seems to have a life of its own, swirling and shifting in a mesmerizing display. Within this misty veil, the user creates illusory clones of themselves. These clones mirror the Demon Slayer's movements perfectly, effectively multiplying their presence and overwhelming the opponent with a barrage of attacks. The combination of the illusions and the user's actual strikes creates a disorienting effect, making it challenging for the target to distinguish between the real Demon Slayer and the clones.
* **Third Form, Fakering Death, Admition 参さんノ型かた、死しを偽ぎとおしての認みとめ (San no kata, Shi wo Itsuwari tooshite no Mitome):** The Third Form, Fakering Death, Admition, is a technique specifically designed for defensive purposes and countering enemy attacks. When activated, it grants the user an extraordinary ability to deceive their opponents and turn their own assaults against them. Upon sensing an incoming attack, the Demon Slayer swiftly triggers the Fakering Death, Admition technique. As the opponent strikes with full force, the user seemingly succumbs to the attack, appearing lifeless and motionless to the target's eyes. The enemy perceives their attack as successful, believing they have dealt a fatal blow. However, in reality, the Demon Slayer has skillfully dodged the attack and positioned themselves right next to the demon. While the opponent's attention is fixated on the apparent lifeless body of the user, they remain unaware of the imminent danger that lurks in close proximity.
* **Fourth Form, Mirage 四しノ型かた、蜃しん気き (Shi no kata, Shinki):** The Fourth Form, Mirage, is a technique that showcases the user's exceptional speed and agility on the battlefield. With unparalleled swiftness, they dart across the terrain, leaving behind a trail of afterimages that creates the illusion of multiple copies of themselves. As the Demon Slayer moves with incredible speed, the mirages of their form become indistinguishable from the real user. This display of illusionary duplicates disorients and confuses the opponent, making it challenging for them to anticipate the user's true position and intentions. With utmost precision and timing, the user capitalizes on their agility and the disorientation caused by the mirages. As they expertly maneuver around the target, seamlessly shifting and spinning, they patiently wait for the opportune moment to strike. At any given instant, the Demon Slayer delivers a singular, devastating blow to the target. With remarkable accuracy, they target a vulnerable point or a strategic location, maximizing the impact of their attack. The culmination of their incredible speed, the illusionary mirages, and the perfectly executed strike creates an overwhelming force that can incapacitate or eliminate the adversary in a single precise blow.
	+ **Fourth Form, Mirage, Dance 四しノ型かた、蜃しん気き舞まい (Shi no kata, Shinki, Mai):** The Fourth Form, Mirage, Dance, is a technique that showcases the user's extraordinary speed, precision, and agility. With astonishing swiftness, they move across the battlefield, creating a mesmerizing display of swordsmanship. In this particular variation of the Mirage technique, known as the Mirage Dance, the user unleashes a series of thirteen rapid and precise slashes. Each slash is executed with impeccable form and timing, demonstrating the user's mastery over their weapon. As the Demon Slayer expertly maneuvers around their target, seamlessly transitioning from one slash to the next, they leave behind a trail of afterimages that mirror their movements. These afterimages further disorient the opponent, making it increasingly difficult to anticipate the trajectory of the user's strikes.
	+ **Fourth Form, Mirage, Flow 四しノ型かた、蜃しん気き流ながれ (Shi no kata, Shinki Nagare):** In the Fourth Form, Mirage, Flow, the user takes the Mirage technique to new heights by not only creating illusions of themselves but also empowering these mirror clones to attack alongside them. Each illusionary clone mirrors the user's movements with stunning precision, becoming an extension of their own skills and abilities. As the Demon Slayer moves with extraordinary speed and agility, their mirror clones seamlessly join in the assault. With coordinated synchronization, the user and their illusions strike simultaneously, creating a mesmerizing symphony of swordplay. In this advanced variation, known as the Mirage Flow, each mirror clone delivers a series of nine deep slashes. These slashes are executed with intense force and accuracy, aimed at inflicting significant damage upon the opponent. The combined might of the user and their mirror clones creates a formidable barrage of eighteen slashing attacks in total, overwhelming the enemy with an onslaught of deep cuts.
	+ **Fourth Form, Mirage, Shivering Reality 四しノ型かた、蜃しん気き震しんえる現げん実じつ (Shi no kata, Shinki Furueru Genjitsu):** In the Fourth Form, Mirage, Shivering Reality, the user showcases a lethal and precise technique that targets the vital areas of their opponent. With calculated movements and a deep understanding of anatomy, they execute a devastating sequence that culminates in the enemy's demise. As the Demon Slayer swiftly maneuvers around the battlefield, they seize the perfect opportunity to strike. Closing in on their target from behind, the user positions themselves with remarkable accuracy. In one swift motion, they drive their sword into the middle of the target's heart, piercing it with unwavering precision. The impact of this initial stab sends shockwaves through the opponent's body, causing momentary paralysis and overwhelming pain. Sensing the vulnerability of their target, the user capitalizes on the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. With a deft rotation of their sword, the Demon Slayer slashes through the target's throat, severing critical arteries and veins. This final act ensures a swift and decisive demise for the opponent, as the loss of blood and the severity of the wound become insurmountable.
	+ **Fourth Form, Mirage, Wormhole 四しノ型かた、蜃しん気き震しんえる現げん実じつ (Shi no kata, Shinki Furueru Genjitsu):** In the Fourth Form, Mirage, wormhole, the user demonstrates an incredible manipulation of space and time, unleashing a devastating technique that engulfs the target in a swirling vortex of energy. As the Demon Slayer closes in on the target, their movements become a blur of speed and precision. With a swift twirl of their sword, they generate a powerful cyclonic force that warps the very fabric of reality. The twirling motion creates a vortex, akin to a wormhole, which draws the target towards its center. The vortex acts as an irresistible force, pulling the opponent with tremendous gravitational force. The target becomes entrapped within the swirling maelstrom, unable to escape its gravitational pull. As the vortex intensifies, it begins to aspirate the target, drawing them deeper into its depths.
* **Fifth Form, Temporal Blur 伍ごノ型かた、時ときのかすみ (Go no kata, Toki no Kasumi):** In the Fifth Form, Temporal Blur, the user exhibits a technique that disorients and incapacitates the target by exploiting their visual perception. With a swift and precise upward slash, the Demon Slayer aims directly towards the target's head, specifically targeting their vision. As the user's blade connects with the target, a surge of energy resonates through the strike. The impact of the slash disrupts the flow of the target's senses, specifically affecting their vision. The result is a profound blurring of their sight, rendering their perception distorted and unreliable. This visual blur induced by the Temporal Blur technique persists for an extended duration, lasting well over 120 seconds or more. The target finds it increasingly challenging to accurately perceive their surroundings, making it difficult to track the movements of the user or properly react to attacks. During this period of visual impairment, the Demon Slayer capitalizes on the target's disorientation, gaining a significant advantage. With their opponent's vision compromised, the user can execute strategic maneuvers, launch surprise attacks, or create openings for subsequent strikes.
	+ **Fifth Form, Temporal Blur, illusion 伍ごノ型かた、時ときのかすみ幻まぼろし (Go no kata, Toki no Kasumi Maboroshi):** In the Fifth Form, Temporal Blur, Illusion, the user amplifies the disorienting effects of the technique by inducing vivid and haunting illusions in the target's mind. Along with the visual blur, the user taps into the depths of their opponent's psyche, projecting a series of illusions that exploit their deepest fears, memories, or regrets. As the user's sword connects with the target's body, a surge of energy reverberates through the strike, triggering the onset of the illusionary onslaught. The target's perception becomes enveloped in a surreal realm, where reality intertwines with their own subconscious. Within this altered state, the target begins to witness a multitude of illusions that play upon their emotions and vulnerabilities. These illusions can take various forms, ranging from haunting memories of past traumas to visions of deceased comrades or manifestations of their worst nightmares. Each illusion is crafted with meticulous detail, designed to provoke fear, anguish, or despair within the target. As the illusions persist, the target's focus becomes consumed, rendering them vulnerable and unable to discern the true threat amidst the mirage of haunting images. The psychological impact of these illusions further weakens the target's resolve, making them susceptible to manipulation and exploitation. The user capitalizes on the target's psychological distress, launching subsequent attacks or creating strategic opportunities to secure a decisive advantage. It is important to note that the specific illusions experienced may vary based on the individual target, their unique fears, memories, or emotional vulnerabilities. The Temporal Blur, Illusion technique heightens the user's control over the opponent's perception, allowing them to exploit their deepest psychological vulnerabilities to gain the upper hand in combat. The effectiveness and duration of the illusions may vary depending on factors such as the target's mental fortitude, resilience, or their ability to discern reality from the fabricated.
* **Sixth Form, Lunatic Disillusionment 六ミュウノ式シキ、狂クルルシル紛フン間カン( Roku no kata, Kururu Shirufun Kan):** In the Sixth Form, Lunatic Disillusionment, the user harnesses the power of darkness to conceal themselves completely during the night. This form grants them the ability to blend seamlessly with the shadows, rendering them virtually invisible to the naked eye. Under the cover of darkness, the Demon Slayer patiently awaits the perfect moment to strike. As their target remains unaware of their presence, the user bides their time, carefully calculating their movements and sensing the opportune instant to unleash their attack. Suddenly, without warning, the user emerges from the depths of obscurity, materializing seemingly out of thin air. The element of surprise is on their side as they swiftly close the distance between themselves and the target. With a single fluid motion, the Demon Slayer delivers a precise and deadly blow. Their strike is executed with impeccable accuracy and lethal intent, aimed at a vulnerable point on the target's body. The force behind this attack is intensified by the element of surprise, making it all the more devastating and difficult to defend against.
* **Seventh Form, Lure 七シチノ式シキ、誘イ誘イ影カゲ (Shichi no Kata, Yūi Yūi Kage):** In the Seventh Form, Lure, the user employs a deceptive technique to sow confusion and weaken the target. Upon activation, the user taps into their ability to manipulate perception, adopting the appearance of one of the target's closest friends, family members, or even lovers. The transformation is remarkably convincing, as the user assumes the exact likeness of the chosen individual. This illusionary guise plays upon the target's emotions and attachments, causing them to momentarily question their surroundings and let their guard down. As the target becomes entranced by the illusory presence of their loved one, their focus wavers, opening an opportunity for the Demon Slayer to strike. With swift and agile movements, the user dashes behind the target, positioning themselves for a devastating horizontal blow aimed at the legs. The strike is executed with exceptional speed and precision, targeting a vulnerable point that can incapacitate or hinder the target's mobility. The element of surprise, combined with the target's disoriented state, amplifies the effectiveness of the attack, maximizing its potential impact.
	+ **Seventh Form, Lure, Judgement 七シチノ式シキ、誘イ誘イ影カゲ、断ダン罪ザイ (Shichi no Kata, Yūi Yūi Kage, Danzai):** In the Seventh Form, Lure, Judgment, the user harnesses the power of psychological manipulation to inflict emotional anguish upon the target. When activated, this advanced version of the technique delves even deeper into the target's psyche, specifically targeting their most beloved person. As the illusion takes effect, the target's perception is twisted, and they behold their cherished individual manifesting before their eyes. However, to their dismay, the illusion morphs their beloved person into a figure consumed by hatred, disappointment, and judgment. The illusory presence spews hurtful words, casting blame upon the target and highlighting their perceived failures. The emotional torment inflicted upon the target further weakens their resolve, rendering them vulnerable to the user's subsequent attack. Seizing this moment of emotional vulnerability, the Demon Slayer swiftly takes advantage of the target's shattered composure. With impeccable speed and precision, the user maneuvers behind the emotionally wounded target, poised to deliver a horizontal blow aimed at it's neck. The target's emotional turmoil serves as a momentary distraction, reducing their capacity to defend themselves effectively. This provides the user with a small yet critical opening to execute their attack, taking advantage of the target's emotional distress to deal a decisive blow.

* **Eight Form, Moonlit Utopia 八ハチノ式シキ、月ツキ夜ヨアユトピア( Hachi no kata, Tsukiyo no Utopia):** Only Kaneki Himeri can use this form. In the Eighth Form, Moonlit Utopia, the user demonstrates an extraordinary display of agility and deception to execute a devastating attack. With remarkable speed and finesse, the Demon Slayer dashes into the air, ascending to a significant height while charging a powerful and ominous attack. As the user soars above, their presence seems to fade into obscurity, leaving the target with an unsettling sensation. A peculiar feeling washes over the target, as if they are already dead, an inexplicable awareness of their impending demise. In truth, this sensation is not a mere illusion but a realization of their grim fate. While the target believes the user to be airborne, preparing for a devastating strike from above, the user defies expectations. Instead of descending from the skies, they silently close the distance on foot, approaching the target with stealth and precision. With the target completely unaware of the user's proximity, the Demon Slayer delivers a swift and lethal slash to the target's neck. The strike is executed with ruthless efficiency, aiming to sever vital arteries and ensure a swift demise for the target.
