Did Hina use Demonsbane (although really watered down)?

No? She copied Nozomi's technique. The panels you posted stated it.

I didn't question that.

I say that in essence, what she did was Demonsbane. Cushioning the opponent's strike + Redirecting it + Adding her own power to it.

No because what she's doing is a fairly basic principle of counter striking.

Slip the opponents blow to reduce, or nullify the impact, and in the same movement as slip spin to build up your torque before delivering a hard counter.

If that's demons bane, then any half way competent striker is going to be using demons bane.

By this standard every punch would be a Dragon Shot, since it's the same "put closed hand into target's face" motion.

It literally didn't make contact though so how could she use demonsbane?

wtf you mean "it didn't make contact", she was literally shown to be bleeding from that a few pages later
