Thunder Breathing
Thunder Breathing is one of the five main Breathing Styles directly derived from the Sun Breathing. It focuses on channeling strength into the user's legs.

First Form: Thunderclap and Flash
The swordsman dashes forward and slashes at their opponent with incredible speed. Immediately after a successful hit, you can use a bonus action to deal an extra 1d6 damage to the creature. The amount of extra damage increases as you gain levels, as shown in the last column of the table.
- Six Fold A compilation of the First Form with a series of six dashes. Primarily used by Zenitsu.
- Eight Fold Zenitsu dashes eight times within one use of this technique.
- God Speed Further augments the speed of Thunderclap and Flash.
Second Form: Rice Spirit
The swordsman cuts the target vertically. You use your movement to do a high jump (PHB p182) and use your action to do an attack on a creature in reach as you land.
If you moved before the jump and the attack hits, the creature can roll a dexterity saving throw with a DC of 10 + your prof. bonus to not fall prone. You deal an extra 1d6 of damage for every 60 cm (2 ft) that you have jumped in the air.
Third Form: Thunder Swarm
Generates a spinning wave of lightning in all directions.
Fourth Form: Distant Thunder
The user releases multiple ranged strikes towards a target.
As an action, you may use all your extra attacks in a single one. If the attack hits you deal an extra 1d6 of damage for every extra attack you have. Your current breathing ends.
Fifth Form: Heat Lightning
A single, focused, slashing attack.
Sixth Form: Rumble and Flash
A series of strong ranged attacks released around the user.
Using a form decreases your current breathing by 6s. Every extra die isn't multiplied by a critical hit.
