Whole heartdeally agree.Even when some hashira lost their limbs i didnt feel much tension from this fight. I don't know, with UM1 I literally held my breath while reading the chapter they managed to cut his head. With muzan, nothing... I hope we get flashback with his whole story so I can relate better with him and feel something.
Because he was born to defeat him?How did Yoriichi create forms that perfectly counter Muzan's abilities before even meeting Muzan?
The twelve forms somehow perfectly fit into the picture of destroying twelve hearts. While you can be born with the power to defeat someone, it is such a huge coincidence that your style perfectly suits the one necessary to defeat the demon lord.Because he was born to defeat him?
I think that is just tanjiro thinking this but it isn't necessarily true. Or the translation is off. The key here is that the 12th breaths of the sun breath can be used in perfect succession infinitely. Am infinite combo if you will. Which video games have taught us is op as heck. An infinite combo with 12 distinct techniques is pretty much ideal to deal with muzans multiple organs though it isn't necessarily something that has to be tailor made to fight muzan.
It's a bit of an assumption that each breath destroys one organ though (also, 7 hearts and 5 brains). Its sword slashes, each attack likely get however many brains and hearts as they pass through. Add to that, its not really important that there are 12 or 17 breaths. The 13th breath is an infinite combo so even if there were less breaths than organs it wouldn't make a difference.The twelve forms somehow perfectly fit into the picture of destroying twelve hearts. While you can be born with the power to defeat someone, it is such a huge coincidence that your style perfectly suits the one necessary to defeat the demon lord.
And an alternate idea.... ghosts. Yorichi is the result of 600 years worth of karma.The twelve forms somehow perfectly fit into the picture of destroying twelve hearts. While you can be born with the power to defeat someone, it is such a huge coincidence that your style perfectly suits the one necessary to defeat the demon lord.
It's a bit of a mixed bad for sure.The twelve forms somehow perfectly fit into the picture of destroying twelve hearts. While you can be born with the power to defeat someone, it is such a huge coincidence that your style perfectly suits the one necessary to defeat the demon lord.
That was my initial thought too, and it would make sense, but then Tanjirou goes to comment on how one from alone connects like it was created for that sole purpose. It's just too much to accept as sensical at once, alongside the fact that Tanjirou can somehow recreate Yoriichi's wrist and ankle movements after seeing him perform the breath just once. It's a manga, but still, compared to how much practice and effort was put into getting other things right, this just feels a bit forced.It's a bit of a mixed bad for sure.
I'm going to say that it's more that he tailored the final form to Muzan's physiology rather than his forms already having those targets in mind. That's honestly the only way it'd make sense. It also does kinda go with Yoriichi saying he completed his technique only after seeing Muzan.
Hell, some of the forms already hit more than once if used by itself, so it has to be that he just fixed it up in that exact moment to hit the vitals.
I'd say the same could potentially be done with the other Breaths, given the variety in each individual form. You'd certainly hit a few organs going all out with any of them.
