Beast Breathing (Zenshuchuten).png

The Beast Breathing (獣 (けだもの) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) Kedamono no kokyū?) is a Breathing Style personally created and self-taught by Inosuke Hashibira after living in the mountains and fighting for survival. It is said to be distantly derived from the Wind Breathing.

The Beast Breathing enhances a user's sense of touch, and is a combination of a myriad of wild attacks that resemble the claws of a beast.
