moon phase breathing first form: Rise of the black moon
月相 呼吸 壱ノ型: 上昇 の その 黒 月
Tsuki-shō kokyū ichi no kata: Jōshō no sono kuro tsuki

1. Do a fast, straight linear attack to the neck. The whole attack should be fast in general to represent the black moon/new moon that can't be seen with the eye.

2-3. Do a 360 spin twice and fast to resemble the new moon. The direction is much or less irrelevant.

4. Then, do a 360 movement/cut/attack and then immediately do a diagonal cut attack.


moon phase breathing second form: First quarter
月相 呼吸 弐ノ型: 最初 四半期
Tsuki-shō kokyū Ni no Kata: Saisho shihanki

1. Attack your opponent with 10 horizontal strikes that go from left to right.

2. After the 10 horizontal attacks, quickly do a diagonal attack upwards.

3. After the diagonal attack that went upwards, you do then another diagonal attack but downwards.

4. Do a straight attack upwards after the diagonal attack downwards.
The blade is in the wrong direction. Please turn it around so the blade faces upward

5. The blade will face down, so rotate it slightly to the left so it faces upwards, then raise your arm so the blade is level with your shoulder area, when that is
done then make a quick movement to the left to sever the demon's neck.

Moon phase breathing third form: the waxing crescent of the moon
月相呼吸 参ノ型: ザ 蝋引き 三日月 の ザ 月
Tsuki-shō kokyū san no kata: Za rō hiki mikadzuki no za tsuki

1. The movings as the third form indicates should always resemble the waxing crescent of the moon, that why there are so many movements involved, even the attacks resemble most of the time the waxing crescent of the moon

Moon phase breathing fourth form: Reflection of the sunlight
月相呼吸 肆ノ型: 反射 の ザ 日光
Tsuki-shō kokyū Shi no Kata: Hansha no za nikkō

1. The Nichirin blade of the user changes its colour to an dark/ black resembling colour to better absorb the reflecting sunlight at the night sky.

2. This form is one of the most versatile ones since the user can use various of attacks and slashes. As an example the user could do an attack that begins with an horizontal slash going to the left and then immediately do a downward cut to the hands/arms.


Moon phase breathing fifth form: Waxing Gibbous
月相呼吸 伍ノ型: 蝋引き とつけい
Tsuki-shō kokyū Go no Kata: Rō hiki to tsuke i

This form has no really good tactics on what to really do, it's mostly an aggressive attack to mostly represent the waxing gibbous.


Moon phase breathing sixth form: Last Quarter
月相呼吸 陸ノ型: 最後 四半期
Tsuki-shō kokyū Roku no Kata: Saigo shihanki

This form concentrates less on the amount of attacks you deliver, this form concentrates just on linear slashes, this makes it also a little bit variable since the form doesn't say how to preform the slashes.


Moon phase breathing seventh from: Waning Gibbous
月相呼吸 漆ノ型: 衰退 ギブス
Tsūki-shō kokyū Nana no Kata: Suitai gibusu
