What about them? Just because they're other dolls doesn't mean I have anything to do with them. On the contrary- as far as the records show, I don't exist.
As far as anyone is concerned, I should have died to years ago in the incident that killed everyone else I knew at the time. They called it an accident.
Thunder breathing is the style Gramps taught me. If I breathe in a way that increases the amount of oxygen in my blood, I can concentrate all of that energy into my legs and let it rip like lightning. That's why it's called the breath of thunder.
Anyway, breathing styles are the only way humans can combat demons. I don't know anything about the kind of cultivation Ling does.

... What interesting ways people develop to get around their own body's limitations. It makes more sense to me than cultivation, at least.

And neither can I. Demon slayers use breathing styles, not spiritual techniques.
