This dance only go faster and stronger because by moving his center of gravity the user is a pseudo endless fall.
Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye: A focusing technique that raises the user's kinetic vision to its maximum; while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion.

Step one is to latch the whip around the targets ankle. Step two is to flip them off their feet and leave them vulnerable in midair. Step 3 is to perform a drop kick at the target, but the legs to either side of the head rather than attempting to slam the core with one's feet. Step 4 is to grip around the targets head with one's thighs, then using their momentum and their core muscles, twist the targets head and slam their body down to the ground. On a human this would be lethal but on a demon, even crushing the skull would not be enough to finish the demon, but it's an extremely difficult grapple for opponents to break from or avoid.
Sound Breathing.
First Form: Roar: The user lifts their twin swords above their head and slams them down with great force, causing a loud sound resembling thunder as a result.
