“	To explain it simply, breathing had to do with your blood! After all, your blood is what moves oxygen from your lungs! The oxygen in your blood has to do with the cells in your body! And those cells make up your body as a whole! In other words you create ripples from your body, as you would in the water... And that turns into energy!	„
	~ Will Anthonio Zeppeli explaining Hamon
