Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been deemed among the most well-loved manga
and anime series of the past several years, due in no small part to its
compelling characters. Giyu Tomioka, the current Water Hashira, was Tanjiro's
introduction to the Demon Slayer Corps, and comes back later to be a very
important character, particularly in the manga's last arc. One of the formidable
swordsman's most noteworthy techniques is his Eleventh Form of Water Breathing,
Dead Calm, which was first put on display in season 2 of the anime.



In order to understand Tomioka’s Eleventh Form, it is important to understand
the Water Breathing style in general. While Water Breathing is considered the
easiest of the many Breathing Styles among beginner Demon Slayers, this basic
style can be cultivated to create complex, impactful techniques. Mimicking the
flow, flexibility, and adaptability of water, the Water Breathing style
replicates these attributes into the ’s movements, which can be utilized through
form control and manipulation.


TOMIOKA'S ELEVENTH FORM IS WATER BREATHING'S ULTIMATE DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUE 2Z4329




The Eleventh Form is an original technique created by Tomioka, also referred to
as Dead Calm. While there are ten known and established forms to Water
Breathing, the Eleventh is purely Tomioka’s creation, allowing him to negate the
attacks of the enemy by ceasing his own movements. The first, second, and third
forms, also known as Water Surface Slash, Water Wheel, and Flowing Dance,
respectively, demand a considerable amount of fluency in swordsmanship, as these
techniques generate great momentum while slicing everything in its path.

When the twists their body a certain way, they are able to deliver multiple
blows via the Fourth Form, while the Fifth Form, also known as Blessed Rain
After the Drought, comes in handy in cases of instant decapitation. Similarly,
forms such as Whirpool, Piercing Rain Drop, and Waterfall Basin can be used to
incapacitate an enemy to varying degrees, depending on the direction and
velocity of the ’s movements. Meanwhile, Splashing Water Flow and Constant Flux
depend upon the ’s footwork and breathing respectively, increasing in strength
and power with each rotation. Although initially deeming himself unworthy of
being a part of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tomioka was able to master several Water
Breathing forms within a short span of time, securing his ascension to Hashira.





TOMIOKA'S ELEVENTH FORM PROVES HIS SKILLS AS AN HASHIRA 36266X



As one of the most skilled swordsmen in the entire organization, Tomioka went on
to craft the Eleventh Form, which is a powerful technique with phenomenal
defensive capabilities. Ceasing all body movements, Tomioka is able to enter a
headspace of complete tranquility, which allows him to deflect, block, and cut
through incoming attacks with imperceptible speed. However, Dead Calm has its
limitations, in the sense that the technique can withstand only a certain number
of successive attacks.



Regardless of its drawbacks, the Eleventh Form is an incredibly powerful one,
and it stands as a testament to Giyu Tomioka's ability that he was able to
create such a technique. Fans will no doubt be eager to see Tomioka's return to
the screen in Demon Slayer's fourth season, especially if there's a chance to
put his personal Eleventh Form on display.
