What sets Demon Slayer apart from other shonen titles is its exceptional world-building. The writing is crafted in a way that doesn’t overwhelm viewers with new concepts, but rather introduces them gradually as the story unfolds.
The story also introduced the concept of Blood Demon Art, a supernatural ability unique to demons. The Mount Natagumo arc of the anime and manga series was one of the first instances where this power was showcased.
Fans have evidence to support the belief that Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art is unparalleled and can be likened to the Sun Breathing technique in comparison to other Blood Demon Arts. Let us delve into the reasons behind this and explore the distinctiveness of Nezuko’s technique within the series.
Please note: This article may include some minor spoilers from the manga chapters.

As previously mentioned, Blood Demon Art is a supernatural ability possessed by all demons. Rui’s Blood Demon Art allowed him to control webs that were capable of decapitating his enemies. Similarly, Gyutaro’s Blood Demon Art involved manipulating his blood into deadly projectiles and weapons coated with powerful poison. On the other hand, Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art is distinctive as it only affects demons and does not pose any harm to humans.
Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art utilizes the element of fire, which effectively weakens and burns her opponents. Additionally, it has the power to overpower the Blood Demon Art of other demons, as shown in her battle against Rui. With Nezuko’s assistance, Tanjiro was able to completely incinerate Rui’s webs and launch a full-fledged attack on the Lower Moon demon.

In anime, an intriguing concept is lineage, where individuals born into a specific family or clan inherit a particular skill set. For example, Tanjiro’s ancestor was skilled in Sun Breathing, which meant that both Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko would have a connection to the Breath of the Sun. While Tanjiro mastered this technique, Nezuko’s demonic nature resulted in a different manifestation of the Breathing Technique.
She successfully created Blood Demon Art, a technique that produced flames that exclusively harmed demons. This was achieved by incorporating her connection to Sun Breathing into the development of the technique.
The sun was the only thing that could harm demons and inflict significant damage. This led fans to speculate that Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art could be linked to the Sun Breathing, the original Breathing Technique created by Yoriichi Tsukiguni to defeat Kibutsuji Muzan. However, this remains a fan theory aimed at exploring the potential connection between Nezuko, her Blood Demon Art, and the Breath of the Sun.
