Users of Mist Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating mist when unleashing its techniques.īased on Mist Breathing's only known user, Muichiro Tokito, who wears baggy clothing that covers his arms and legs in order to obscure his movements, it can be assumed that most other users would also have to don clothing that hide their limbs from their enemy in order to fully maximize the potential of this Breathing Style. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve swift strikes and movements performed in a unique pattern that obscures the opponent's senses and surroundings as if the battlefield were enveloped in mist. Mist Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics mist, specifically the obscurity of mist, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.
