Why did Zenitsu require an incredible breathing technique to get out of simple rubble?


Demon Slayers **are human** that have reached an expert level of swordsmanship
and breathing techniques similar to real-life samurais, so **they are in no
way supernatural** , but the show depicts them using flashy abilities with
elemental-like features for entertainment purposes.

Zenitsu was heavily beaten by an Upper Rank Demon and collapsed under a pile
of rubble. He uses the breathing technique to get out as it was the only way
**to amass enough strength** to free himself and use First Form: Thunderclap
and Flash: God Speed to **cover the distance between him and Daki** in an
instant.
