The bundle of swords he left behind is taken over by Tanjiro and he successfully defeats Akaza.

Akaza was a formidable opponent, but Kyojurou's spirits will may have helped Tanjirou.

Kotyou Sinobu also died in the battle with the Upper Rank Demon 2 Douma.

Her strength is her willingness to defeat the Upper Rank Demon 2 Douma who Killed her master Kotyo Kanae.

The way she defeated her was also like her, and it was a way of defeating demons by spreading poison that kills demons all over her body and being eaten by demons herself.

Finally, she entrusts the battle to her disciple Kanawo Tuyuri, who defeats the poisoned Douma.

It was a famous scene where Kotyou Kanae, Kotyo Sinobu, and Kanawo Tuyuri defeat it.

Tokitou Muichirou apearance
(Quote:Demon Slayer Anime)

Tokitou Muichirou is the Mist Hashira and Mist breathing user.

He lost his parents and older brother in the past, so he thought that anything other than defeating demons was useless, and even his emotions were useless, so he didn't show much emotion.

However, he meets various friends, including Tanjiro, and gradually overcomes his past and begins to show his emotions.

In particular, the scene where he speaks ill of Gyokko in the fight with The Upper Rank 5 Gyokko is also a scene where his emotions that we didn't understand until now came out.

In the battle with Kokushibou, The Upper Rank Demon 1, Muichirou's one arm is cut off, but he fights with his companions and defeats Kokushibou. At that time, Muichirou died due to an injury to his arm.

However, he misunderstood that he was hated by his brother, and the rift between the brothers only deepened.

At the end of him, the reason why the older brother was avoiding the younger brother was understood, and the misunderstanding between the brothers was resolved.

The Hushinazugawa brothers could have gone their separate ways.

Let's not raise death flags like this either! !

What's Death Flag?


In anime, games, dramas, etc., an ominous sign that could happen to a character in the near future. In the sense of flag = flag, it means a "mark" of a turning point or branching point where the story or situation changes greatly in the work.

In the middle of the story, people who make optimistic remarks such as that they will be the only one who will be saved, or those who make remarks such as that they will soon have a child, usually die immediately after that. By giving some kind of hope and then dropping it to disappoint it, it is a method to emphasize the tragedy more, so it is assumed that hope = unhappiness, and a mark of unhappiness = death flag came to be called.

Kiriya Ubuyasiki

Kiriya Ubuyashiki apearance
(Quote:Demon Slayer Anime)

Kiriya is top of the Demon Slayer Corp.

He was born sickly and has a severe scar on his face.

He can't use Breathing or a sword, but he commands the Demon Slayer Corps and is very popular.

I was stunned by his incredible courage.

He couldn't fight, but he was able to harass Muzan as hard as he could.

Jigoro Kuwajima

Kuwajima Jigorou apearance
(Quote:Demon Slayer Anime)

Jigoro Kuwajima is Older Ring Hashira. He have two apprentice, Kaigaku and Zenitsu.

Feeling responsible for Kaigaku betraying humans and becoming a demon, he commits seppuku himself. What's more, it's surprising that he didn't hire a caregiver at that time.

In the works, Zenitsu took his revenge, so he would have been healing his heart.

What's caregiver?


A caregiver is someone who watches over someone during seppuku.
Seppuku means cutting one's own stomach with a dagger in order to take responsibility, but one ends up dying in agony after running out of strength.
At that time, it has the role of stabbing the end to relieve the suffering even a little from pity.
