Insect Breathing

The Insect Breathing is a Breathing Style branched out from the Flower Breathing, which itself is branched out of the Water Breathing.

The Insect Breathing combat and breathing style mimic insects and bugs, specifically their lethal stings and movements, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques, and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms include stabbing, thrusting, and making shallow cuts with a specially coated/made sword to inflict multiple wounds onto the intended target to inject various lethal Wisteria-based poisons into them. When utilized properly, the user visualizes themselves manipulating and generating insects in a variety of colors, mostly purple, causing insects to seemingly emanate from their weapon, surroundings, or themselves.

This style is the personal creation of Shinobu Kocho, who designed it to compensate for her lack of physical strength to cut off a Demon's head. Hence, this sword style can only be utilized by her and only using a unique katana with a needle-like tip, resembling an insect's stinger in appearance and function. The "stinger" is designed for the injection of Wisteria poisons into Demons.
