it is far from a perfect analog, but if you were looking for a visual example of how haku fights when not solely using hyoton, check out sypha’s fighting style ( two videos linked ). this applies doubly for haku’s style in the jinchūriki au, because you can bet your sweet ass haku uses kokuō’s boiling release to float like sypha.
haku isn’t a one-trick pony. haku’s chakra natures are water, wind, ice, & lightning; expect to see allllllll four in battle. plus, hyōton consumes a lot of chakra, so haku doesn’t bust it out immediately in battle; they usually save it for containing/holding enemies, quick transport, & unleashing portals once they’ve mastered the final tiers of hyōton. whenever possible, most of haku’s hyōton use is done without hand-seals, because using an actual jutsu rather than simply manipulating water that’s already in the area, takes a lot of energy. & in battle, you don’t burn energy you don’t need to.
as a whole, haku’s style is 99% aerial. they were trained as a compliment to a swordsman, & so they tend to leave ground assault to whoever they fight beside. however, haku & zabuza have switched it up when situations called for it, with haku acting as striker & zabuza buffeting with ninjutsu.
#i knew i loved that funky little Speaker for a reason...this is how i've always envisioned haku moving???#like. i've linked to it earlier but haku's taijutsu style is heavily influenced by vovinam#which was made for smaller people to take down much larger opponents. so. fitting. and haku is ridiculously quick and graceful#so....much more graceful than sypha but u get the picture right???#also i WANTED to link you guys to sypha's first scene in s3e1 BUT NO THERE'RE NO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE OF IT >:\#anyway. i just started watching castlevania s3 after putting it off for months lol.... i'm lurking....might write a lil...idk yet#❛ HEADCANONS.#i'll also add this info to the bio bc lord knows i don't include that shit anywhere accessible
