"The true Thirteenth Form..."

Tsukiguni Yoriichi muttered, his gaze on Reiger shifting.

In fact, like Reiger, he had always believed that the Thirteenth Form he created could not be considered a new sword technique.

It was merely a cycle of using the twelve forms of Sun Breathing sequentially; something anyone capable of using the first twelve forms could achieve. How could that be considered a new form?

Thus, although Tsukiguni Yoriichi had conceived this so-called Thirteenth Form during his encounter with Kibutsuji Muzan, he never named the technique.

Because, in Tsukiguni Yoriichi's view, this form could only be seen as an application of the previous twelve forms of Sun Breathing.

He had thought of creating a truly new sword technique, but the idea quickly passed.
