While the fight sequences in the anime are second to none, the character expressions and designs are also executed perfectly. Every character has its own color scheme, and their breathing styles are expressed in a vibrant manner.
Legendary Battles
One thing about Kimetsu No Yaiba is that every single battle you witness is an artistic masterpiece full of rich and vibrant colors. Every duel is intense and full of colorful explosions featuring both wide and close camera angles. One such example is one of the very first battles Tanjiro has against the Lower Moon Five Rui. The demon art used by Rui representing bloody web patterns was impressively brought to life by the studio.
Also, the Water Breathing Style and Hinokami Kagura used by Tanjiro gave us a beautiful fusion of blue and bright orange hues, which was no less than a spectacle to see. Whether it was the characters fighting in the air or battling for life on the ground, we got to see a lot of wonderfully animated fight sequences.

Another great fight that absolutely shocked the fans with its visual mastery was the fight between the Hashira Tengen Uzui and the Upper Moon 6 Demon Gyutaro. The action was top-notch, and the animation was extremely flashy, with a lot of fast-paced movement. The way these scenes are crafted delivers great emotion as well. And this is evident from the fight we witnessed between Akaza and Rengoku in the Mugen Train Arc.
