People are being too comfortable larping demon slayer

First off not only does this person completely fail at basic biology, it's obvious they don't know how the human body works, so am gonna teach them

Total Concentration Breathing works by hyper-oxygenating your blood and increasing heart rate and circulation to give your muscles explosive speed which actually speeds up poison circulation, not slows it. You can't just dial down your blood flow without your blood pressure crashing and passing out from lack of oxygen to the brain.

You cannot consciously tell your smooth muscle tissue or cardiac muscle to slow down through simple thought. Heart rate and vascular constriction are regulated by the autonomic nervous system.

The only reason Tengen survived is because he explicitly used extreme muscle control to stop his heart entirely to freeze the poison's spread, a lethal, specialized trick that standard Total Concentration Breathing cannot do, as well as him having poison resistance. I mean most of y'all should know this basic info but apparently not all

And lastly, Muzan's blood/poison causes rapid cellular destruction, but it was actively being delayed and weakened by Tamayo's four-stage anti-demon drug injected into Muzan, while Gyutaro's poison is an instant kill lethal toxin with zero antidote available during the Entertainment District Arc.

If you haven't figured it by now am absolutely throwing shade at this user and their d**b argument but I didn't show their name so I didn't break any rule, it's not hard to so basic research instead of just larping

For a character who is considered weak against flying characters they sure always have the highest kd in the lobby, I mean who's surprised? That's what happen when you keep dishing out mobility to negate the character weakness

He became the embodiment of a walking nuke

Btw I didn't say nerf him to the ground no in fact nerf his dumb combo, this dude can do beta alpha alpha into another beta, his alpha does like 300 plus in like 3 secs

Also I don't want this post to get taken down so I guess reduce the splash damage and increase downpower

None of tanjiro squad is surpassing the hashira anytime soon, they didn't become a hashira yesterday

Managed to shield through the nerfs once again, is he byking secret love child or something?

None of them have shown a comparable speed base also narratively, he's the only one shown to move like he's teleporting

Edit: The wording isn't the best I guess, I was trying to prove that tengen base travel and combat velocity are completely unmatched that's why I used multiple scenes and not just hta

I mainly used the points tanjiro borough up, when tengen moves he doesn't disturb the air or leave a scent to track, that's why I said he's the only one to move like he's teleporting because he doesn't leave a scent or disturb the air obviously the wording was wrong

This might be a rant but who cares, I am done with people spreading false information while refusing to do any research at all.

​

There's a widespread theory or should I say d*mb theory that shinobu only lost to douma because his bda instantly gave her "pulmonary necrosis and severe hypoxia", lagging her perception. This is not only a massive misinterpretation of the manga timeline or even the anime, it's also completely medical impossibility

​

Here is my argument

​

1. The timeline: Necrosis and hypoxia take time

​

The entire encounter lasted less than 20 minutes

​

: Necrosis is the premature death of cells and living tissue. It is a progressive, structural decay. It is physically impossible for living tissue to instantaneously rot and die, especially in shinobu case where she's still standing and fighting

​

: When douma states "your lungs are dying" he's talking about a progressive injury caused by her continuously inhaling his ice mist during their fight

​

2. Total concentration breathing

​

To suffer hypoxia from douma mist, you have to actively breathe a significant amount of it into your lungs over time during heavy exertion, which wasn't the case for shinobu. If her perception was lagging from a lack of oxygen that quickly, she would have been dizzy, stumbling, and unable to even direct a precise counter attack

​

Breathing style requires maximum oxygenation of the blood to power the muscle. After Doma makes his comment about her lungs, Shinobu literally unleashes dance of the centipede, This is her fastest, most physically demanding move and also requires coordination

​

If her lung tissue was already dead from necrosis and her brain was starved of oxygen to the point of ruining her visual perception, she would be physically incapable of channeling the massive amount of oxygen needed for dance of the centipede. You cannot run at supersonic speeds while your respiratory system is supposedly experiencing cellular shutdown, not to mention still form coherent thought to send kanao a message

​

3. Active circulation

​

Necrosis results in ischemic tissue death meaning blood flow stops, the tissue rots, and it loses function.

​

Shinobu is actively coughing up and spitting out fresh, oxygenated, flowing blood. Her cardiovascular system is working overtime to try and keep up with the physical stress of the fight. It is an acute trauma injury from the extreme frost damaging her airways, not rotting of her organs.

​

4. Dying does not equate instant necrosis

​

Touching on douma words again that her lungs were dying so she's suffering from necrosis: if a person gets shot in the chest, they are "dying" from blood loss and trauma. They are not suffering from instant cellular necrosis that lags their brain's perception stats. Doma is simply pointing out that her lungs are failing to take in air because the cold is damaging them. It's a stamina and physical movement debuff.

​

Conclusion

​

Shinobu didn't get "blitzed because her eyes lagged due to medical hypoxia." She was completely outmatched by douma. To think I am making all this point just to prove upm2 completely destroys a base hashira is kinda funny, if marked tanjiro and giyu couldn't do shit to upm3, what is a base hashira gonna do to upm2 and no shinobu isn't stronger then a marked hashira
