- "The Breath of Thunder makes you focus on your legs the most. Every fiber of muscle. Every vessel of blood. Get the air pumping through them. Then put all the power in your legs. All of it. Then explode in a second. Like lightning ripping through the air."
- ― Zenitsu Agatsuma to Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)
The power to utilize and infuse electricity in combat. Technique of Electricity Manipulation. Variation of Elemental Combat.
Also Called[]
- Electric/Electrical Combat/Fighting
- Electrical Martial Arts/Physical Combat
- Electrically Enhanced Combat/Fighting
- Fulgurkinetic Combat
- Lightning Combat/Fighting
Capabilities[]
Users are able to infuse electricity into combat, whether it be discharging electricity, summoning lightning bolts, or other electricity-based attacks through supernatural abilities (i.e. Electricity Manipulation, Electricity Magic), machines/technological body parts with the capability of releasing them, or simply utilizing a fighting style that focuses on delivering electricity-like attacks.
At the ultimate level, users are able to control electric fields allowing them to manipulate or rip apart the force that holds atoms together within objects or flow through the nervous systems of living creatures. At this stage, electricity manipulation becomes extremely dangerous and effective, essentially giving the user the ability to control living creatures and objects through the precise manipulation of electricity and electrical fields within them.
Applications[]
- Electricity Attacks
- Electric Armor
- Electric Aura

- Electricity Generation
- Electricity Infusion
- Electrical Healing
- Enhanced Combat/Supernatural Combat

Limitations[]
- Users of Electricity Resistance are highly resistant and users of Electrical Immunity are not affected.
- Distance, force, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user and their power's natural limits.
- Electricity needs a conductor like water with electrolytes dissolved in it or metal to move through, therefore electricity can neither exist in nor move through a vacuum (such as outer space).
- May be unable to create electricity, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
- Electricity may be redirected by certain materials.
- A strong enough magnetic force/source may be beneficial or a hindrance.
- May be limited only to the path of least resistance.
- May become useless if insulated with non-conductive matter, such as rubber, silicate, air etc. although a strong enough electrical change can overload any insulator and force it to become conductive.
- May have to find electrical sources of power in order to recharge.
- May have problems using electronics.
- May be short-circuited under certain conditions:
- Contact with water, a magnet, the opposite polarity, etc.
- Absence/lack of electrical resistance between the positive and negative polarities.
- Weak against Electricity Negation.
