finger spelling

Despite being injured, Shinobu Kocho risked her life to convey crucial information to Kanao Tsuyuri. The method she used was finger spelling. Because she couldn’t communicate verbally in that situation, Shinobu moved her fingertips precisely to signal Kanao. Kanao understood this clearly and carried on the fight, inheriting Shinobu’s resolve. If you look closely at the manga, you can really feel the importance of the subtle exchanges in this scene.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

Kaigaku of the Upper Moon Six was once, like Zenitsu Agatsuma, a disciple of Jigoro Kuwajima. Kaigaku was Zenitsu’s senior apprentice, and they learned Thunder Breathing together, but he eventually fell and became a demon. Because of this, he is portrayed as someone deeply connected to Zenitsu in the story, and the fate tying the two of them together is a key point in the plot.

Nakime

The demon holding the powerful rank of Upper Moon Four is named Nakime. By playing the biwa, she can freely manipulate the vast space known as the Infinity Castle, which is cited as a formidable ability. The Infinity Castle is also where Muzan Kibutsuji resides, and thanks to Nakime’s power to alter its corridors and transport demons and humans, it plays a crucial role in the story.

Koyuki

Before becoming a demon, Akaza was human and had a woman named Koyuki as his lover. Koyuki was kind and, despite her frail health, lived earnestly. The deep bond he shared with her and their tragic parting greatly influenced the circumstances that led Akaza to become a demon. His memories of her remain strongly in his heart and play an important role in the story.

Giyu Tomioka

In the battle against Akaza, Tanjiro Kamado and the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, join forces to fight. This scene is extremely popular in both the anime and the manga, depicting Tanjiro and Giyu trusting each other and combining their strength to face adversity. Including the fact that both are disciples of Sakonji Urokodaki, it’s a particularly memorable fight scene, isn’t it?

A translucent world

In the fierce battle against Akaza, Tanjiro Kamado reached a new state known as the Transparent World. In this state, his opponent’s bodily movements and structure appear as if transparent, drastically improving his ability to anticipate and evade attacks. By entering the Transparent World, Tanjiro was able to read Akaza’s movements and turn the tide of the fight in his favor. This marks a major milestone in his growth and is one of the crucial abilities for defeating demons.

Giyu Tomioka

In the first chapter of the Infinity Castle arc, the Hashira who awakened a Mark is Giyu Tomioka. Giyu’s Mark appeared in the midst of the fierce battle within the Infinity Castle. When a Mark manifests, that Hashira’s abilities increase dramatically, allowing them to fight demons more advantageously. Giyu obtaining his Mark became a crucial turning point in the story, enabling him to stand up even to the Upper Rank demons.
