Ninth Style: Chaos of Water Splashes [9] — reduces landing time and the surface area required for it, allowing Giyu to move without restrictions. Ideal for fighting in places without solid ground. Tenth Style: The Flow of Life [10] – a continuous attack whose power increases with each rotation, thereby increasing the cutting power. Eleventh Style: Stillness [11] — a style created by Giyu himself. Giyu stops moving and enters a state of complete defense, reflecting and blocking all attacks with incredible speed.

In his side story, he could easily tear through extremely strong ropes bound around his wrists while casually conversing with Shinobu Kocho. fencing.

Komado Tanjirou Giyu tried to save Tanjiro from Nezuko, who had become a demon, but was shocked that Tanjiro protected her.

Giyu tried to escape and almost died, but a demon slayer who knew Urokodaki saved him and his younger sister. When Giyu was 13, he met Sabito, and they became close friends because they were the same age, except for Giyu's sister who was a year younger, and they had similar pasts. Giyu, Sabito, and Giyu's sister made it to the final selection on Mount Wisteria, during which Giyu was injured by a demon. Sabito saved him, and then left to help other students. Giyu lost consciousness, and when he regained consciousness, he learned that he had passed the selection, but his friend Sabito had died. Giyu's sister passed the selection process, so she supported Giyu and listened to him, even though she was a year younger than him.
