Breaths

These breaths channel life energy and allow one to fight demons effectively. There are several branches, derived from the main ones.

Katanas and blacksmiths

Katanas are called Nichirin, made from a special mineral that absorbs sunlight, the only element that can kill demons. Their color changes depending on the user, reflecting their skill or personality. The blacksmiths of the mountain village, such as Hotaru Haganezuka, make and maintain these swords. The blacksmiths work with dedication because they are essential to the fight against demons, as swords are the main weapons of Demon Slayers. They are extremely passionate about their work. They dedicate their lives to forging and maintaining the Nichirin swords, knowing that they are essential to defeating demons. Even when others criticize or oppose the Demon Slayers, the blacksmiths support them unconditionally, as they share the same mission of protecting humanity. Swords can be highly stylized, especially those of the Hashira. For example, Tengen Uzui's sword has a unique double-blade design linked by chains, and Mitsuri Kanroji's is whip-like and flexible, reflecting her Breath of Love. Each sword is a reflection of the user's style and personality.

Crows

The crows, called "Kasugai Crows," are surprisingly unique in that unlike normal crows, they can talk. This often baffles people unfamiliar with the organization, as these crows don't just deliver messages, they communicate detailed orders fluently. Their ability to talk and loyalty to the hunters is essential to coordinating missions, which is sometimes shocking and even comical to those seeing them for the first time. Each hunter receives a personalized crow upon joining the organization, and these crows are key to communication during missions.

Powers and influences of demons as well as weaknesses

Blood techniques are special abilities that demons develop by consuming the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji or other demons. These techniques allow them to perform supernatural actions, such as manipulating their body, creating illusions, or generating devastating attacks. Muzan's blood is particularly powerful, and those who consume it can gain unique abilities and a significant increase in their strength and endurance. Muzan can transfer his blood into humans, turning them into demons. This process grants them eternal life and allows them to regenerate quickly, but also imposes on them a constant need to consume human blood in order to survive. Demons who have received his blood are more likely to develop extraordinary abilities. Demons are divided into two main categories: Crescent Moons and Lesser Demons. Crescent Moons are the most powerful and hold a prominent place in Muzan's hierarchy. Each Crescent Moon has an assigned number, and their strength varies, being able to take on the Hashira. On the other hand, Lesser Demons are weaker and do not have such extraordinary abilities. To kill a demon, one must cut off its head with a Nichirin sword, which is made of a special material that absorbs sunlight, the only element that can kill them. Alternatively, the demon can be incinerated entirely. Additionally, some Demons undergo mutations due to the influence of Muzan's blood. These mutations can grant them additional abilities or change their appearance, making them more dangerous and difficult to fight. These characteristics make Demons formidable and varied adversaries in the series.
