Demon Slayer: How Inosuke's Fighting Style Stands Out
Demon Slayer has shown fans a number of different fighting styles. These fighting styles all stem from types of breathing styles, all of which come from the Sun Breathing, the first breathing style to be created. Many more have been mastered from there, all branching off of each other like a giant tree. Inosuke Hashibira is the creator and only user of beast breathing. Along with his life in the wild, this style has caused Inosuke to develop a unique fighting style.
Inosuke never knew his parents growing this due to his mother being devoured by Doma. In an effort to escape the demon Doma, Kotoha tossed Inosuke into a river in hopes of saving his life. He was later discovered by a family of boars and raised as one of them.
