InDemon Slayer, Breathing Styles are pivotal to Demon Slayer’s success. These techniques have been carried over for centuries and help swordsmen strengthen their attacks and give them specific characteristics that help them deal with various demons. But when facing the Demon King, will any of them be effective?
Each Breathing Style fulfills a different purpose. While Thunder Breathing is known for its speed, Mist Breathing is known for its obscurity. Depending on the situation, these techniques can be essential or even futile. Muzan has lived for over a thousand years in theDemon Slayerworld and has adapted to every danger. Which Breathing Style will be the strongest against him?
Which Breathing Style Is Muzan the Weakest To?
Muzan is no simple demon; he has managed to live for over a thousand years. For those thousand years, he lived around humans and must have overcome most of his weaknesses. He has incredible abilities like Night-Absolute Regeneration, which allows him to regenerate his lost body parts in an instant. This ability was seen in use during Season 4, Episode 8, when he instantly regenerated his smashed head. But despite his abilities, he is not invincible. In fact,he was once almost defeated by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who used Sun Breathing.
To date, Muzan is struck with fear by the memories of Yoriichi. This suggests that Muzan is still quite vulnerable to Sun Breathing.

Why Does Sun Breathing Work on Muzan?
Sun Breathing was the first Breathing Style. The fundamental Breathing Styles were all inspired and alternative versions of Sun Breathing, suggesting that it is the strongest Breathing Style.To fight Muzan, Yoriichi created the Thirteenth Formof Sun Breathing, which was an accumulation of the previous Twelve Forms. The Form gains accuracy and speed with the reputation of the Twelve Forms, which makes it ideal for fighting Muzan.
Muzan’s anatomy is unique; he has 7 hearts and 5 brains that move freely inside his body, which makes it impossible to finish him off.Sun Breathing’s unmatched speed and accuracymake it possible to hit the moving organs inside Muzan. It is also important to note that Sun Breathing’s existence was forgotten for centuries. This made it impossible for Muzan to adapt to it, hence making him still weak to it.
Can Other Breathing Styles Work on Muzan?
When used by powerful swordsmen like the Hashira, even other Breathing Styles are bound to do some damage to Muzan. While he is very resilient and adaptable, he is not immune to other Breathing Styles. Some Breathing Styles that might be effective against Muzan include:
The final battle against Muzan is closing in. The effectiveness of Breathing Styles on Muzan will differ. But one thing is for sure, it would not be possible to defeat Muzan single-handedly. The Demon Slayers will have to unite and bring an end to the Demon King together.
