The second season of Demon Slayer has finally started broadcasting brand new material, adapted for the first time in 7 episodes from the original manga series by Koyoharu Gotouge.
And with that, the fans finally got to see it the consequences of the story arc of the Mugen train first seen in the film and retold in the first seven episodes of the second season. With this new material, a new style of breathing is introduced while Tanjiro continues to learn more about thatHinokami Kagura.
During the events of the Mugen train, Tanjiro had learned from Kyojuro Rengoku that although he had no idea what Hinokami Kagura was (even as a pillar of flame) some information about this in the old registers of the former column.
The first episode of the Red Light District Arc arrives in Demon Slayer 2×08 and confirms what Rengoku said as Kyojuro’s father: Shinjuro Rengoku revealed that there is actually another secret breathing style which has apparently been lost over time, the breathing of the sun, which he describes as the most powerful of them all.
In the first episode of the Red Light District Arc, Tanjiro goes to Rengoku’s house to give his family his latest news. Here Shinjuro comes up to him immediately and claims to know Tanjiro’s earrings from the records of the pillar of flame.
It assumes that Tanjiro is an owner of the sun breathing technique, and shows that this technique was not only the first style (from which all other breathing styles are derived), but also the most powerful of them all.
Shinjuro even goes so far as to say that all other styles are imitations based on the sun’s breathing, but Tanjiro fails to put the pieces together. As far as he knows (and his family records prove it), he was descended from a long line of humble coal workers.
At the same time, it’s still a lot curious about Hinokami Kagura and this new way of sun breathing is his greatest indication of how this technology can not only be strengthened, but perhaps also developed from scratch.
Unfortunately, Shinjuro destroyed the book on the sun breathing details, but now Tanjiro has a way to go to find out more about his latent power. What do you think? Would you like to learn more about Sun Breathing this season? Let us know what you think about this in the comments.
