Please no spoilers, I'm an anime watcher only and I'm a bit behind.

Just to confirm, when Demon Slayers use breathing techniques, are the higher numbers stronger or weaker?

Same for the Upper Demons, is Upper 1 for example the weakest or strongest demon?

The higher the number, the more complex the technique is. But just like in any fighting sports (including Kendo), a complex technique may not necessarily be the strongest, depending on the situation. So it's not that simple.

Honestly, I thought the Hashiras number after the breathing form they used indicated the type of sword technique used to employ it. Similar to a downward/upward strike or a horizontal one.

Sword technique numbers aren't necessarily stronger or harder to master, they're just different skill of that sword technique.

Twelve kizuki, upper moon and lower moon numbers matter, it represents their strength.

First form is the base technique. Everything that comes after can be more complex, but isn't necessarily stronger.

Twelve mooons from weakest to strongest: Lower 6, lower 5, lower 4, lower 3, lower 2, lower 1, upper 6, upper 5, upper 4, upper 3, upper 2, upper 1.
