| This question has been bothering me ever since Tanjirou has learned how to use the water breathing technique. Can others actually see the water/water dragon whenever he uses it, or is it more like for us, viewers only so the fights look better? Same goes for the fire dragon and the fire sword. Was that actually visible for Rui, in episode 19 or from his point of view Tanjirou was just swinging with a broken sword? |

| It's still vague, even as a manga reader i couldnt tell. But even if they can't see it i think they can still feel it, in episode 17 the spider boy said "The air is vibrating" when zenitsu uses his sixfold. |

When he used that, I believe that really was visible. I think that spider demon really saw all that lightning around Zenitsu. I'm only unsure about Tanjirou's water breathing. |

| It's just a gimmick to make sword attacks less boring |
Tranqualizer said: Also tanjiro keeps using moves to break his falls. If it was a visual only for us and there was actually no water but just a dude using a sword to break his fall id think it pretty stupid. Well that makes sense. |

| no they are just visuals there are other breath styles that doesn't have element. they're human only demons have powers. and i think that the visual are the true range of the attack, but they're not pulling out water or fire out of the katana. |

Jazoraa said: in the hunting house he used the ninth style that is used in a disconnected ground to move easier without limits,minimizing the landing time,for when he breaks the fall i think that the vertical attack movement is too strong that the air displacement slow his fall,he use the 8 style and 2 style for this.nanashi796 said: no they are just visuals there are other breath styles that doesn't have element. they're human only demons have powers. and i think that the visual are the true range of the attack, but they're not pulling out water or fire out of the katana. The episode in the hunted house with the changing rooms, did he somehow manage to balance himself using one of the 10 sword forms? I dont know if he used water or not, i just try to enjoy the show these days |

| nope its not visible to others its just imagined lol |
| It's just a visual metaphor for their movement. |
 |
from extra chapter 151.5 |
nanashi796 said: from extra chapter 151.5 Thanks. That answered the question perfectly. |
| It's funny because later in the manga, there are moments where those breathing elements are clearly doing damage and not just visual. |
 |
| Next they're gonna tell me the mist from Muichiro's breathing technique is just a visual presentation or the rumbling noise Zenitsu's technique creates isn't real. Just retcon it Gotouge lol. |

| It's clear their visual metaphors. My favorite example is Giyuu in episode 20. It's not like he literally pulls an entire field of water out of his ass to stop an attack... |

el3mel said: I can't get my head to believe the lightning and thunder from Zenitsu movement, destroying the ground he was standing on and making Tanjiro believe he heard thunder are just visual effects and not something that actually happened. Even the demon said the air was vibrating. So I tend to believe these effects are all real and actually happening. What's the problem in that ? I mean it's a supernatural anime about demons eating human. Everything is possible. Why wont the heroes have super powers too ? Then there'd be WAY more inconsistencies in the show than there already are. Demon slayers are superhuman, so maybe Zenitsu's leg movement causes the ground to fall apart or maybe it's just there from the perspective of the demon. The story makes a distinction between Demon Slayers with their "superhuman" esque feats and demons that actually do some wacky stuff... |

Doesn't make sense eh ? They don't need to be super humans but at the same I find it more believable from typical Shounen perspective than they have supernatural sword techniques than to believe all these are just visual imaginary effect. One thing jumped to mind as well is how did Tanjiro managed to grab the arrows thrown at him from that arrow demon, twist them then direct all of them towards the demon if all these water effects are imaginary stuff ? What were the arrows hanging on ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdZktnlI3Zs If the mangaka wanted them to be imaginary stuff then I think he fecked up with this or Zenitsu scene imo.  |

| ^ I don't think its "exagerated"more like drawing out the maximum potential impact the scene can have. I accept it as i see it. If they can muster some super human strenght, endurance, speed and elemental powers by learning some mysterious breathing technique then why not have some real flashy visual manifestation to go along with the powers. Anyway dont dig too deep into it it's just fiction. Demon powers do not exist here same for these "breath powers/techniques". But that's all possible in the Demon Slayer universe.| '_' )b |
