A collection of quotes from Lord Ubuyashiki Kagaya. Words of unwavering resolve and salvation (1–10)
Kibutsuji Muzan, we will definitely defeat you in our generation.
Upon receiving the report that the Upper Rank Six siblings, Gyutaro and Daki, had been defeated, came the famous line: “Kibutsuji Muzan, we will defeat you in our generation—without fail.” Because Kibutsuji Muzan’s transformation into a demon led the Ubuyashiki clan to suffer from hereditary illness and short lifespans, they have staked their very lives on defeating him.
After a hundred years of stalemated conflict, the tide finally turned, and with the certainty that fate itself was shifting, these words emerged as an even more unshakable vow.
It is a memorable quote that conveys the weight of his unwavering resolve, even from a sickbed.
Anyway, just focus on staying alive. As long as you’re alive, things will work out somehow.

As long as you live, things will work out.” For Muichiro, who developed memory impairment as a result of the trauma of being attacked by a demon and losing his older brother, these words became a guiding principle for life.
Later, as he gradually regains his memories thanks to Tanjiro Kamado’s presence, it’s fair to say Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s words hit the mark.
If you die, everything ends—but this quote teaches that as long as you live, opportunities will come around.
If it were possible, I too would have wanted to become a strong swordsman who could protect people’s lives with nothing but my own body, like you.
These are lines from Kagaya Ubuyashiki that feel infused with his true feelings, spoken from the position of someone who supports his comrades.
Even as the Demon Slayer Corps risk their lives in battle, his words convey the frustration he feels about not taking part in the fighting himself.
You can sense his wish to fight alongside them as a swordsman and his concern for their safety.
Precisely because he regrets not being on the front lines, his words also express a mindset of fully supporting his comrades and dedicating himself wholeheartedly to what he can do.
I know you fought to protect people. You are not a killer.
A famous line addressed to Gyomei Himejima before he became the Stone Hashira: “I know you fought to protect people.
You are not a murderer.” These words saved Gyomei, who, despite battling a demon to protect the orphans he lived with, was about to be executed for murder.
It’s a statement born of natural charisma, foresight, and knowledge of demons that most refuse to believe exist.
It also suggests this person had likely saved other Demon Slayer Corps members many times before.
If you are pawns to be sacrificed, then I am a sacrificial pawn as well.
A famous line in response to a remark from Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, at his first Hashira meeting: “If you say you’re disposable pieces, then I am equally a disposable piece.” As head of the Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki leads the Demon Slayer Corps without taking the field himself, which prompts Shinazugawa to accuse him of viewing the members as expendable pawns.
Born frail and unable to become a swordsman, Ubuyashiki accepts this and speaks to Shinazugawa gently.
This line later proves how genuine his feelings were and becomes a testament to the truth of his resolve.
Anyone who speaks ill of you is just afraid of and envious of your talent.

Spurred by this, Mitsuri found her place in the Demon Slayer Corps and, despite being a woman, rose all the way to the Hashira—the Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen.
It’s a quote that shows the charisma to see a person’s traits not as shortcomings but as strengths, and to guide them accordingly.
The resolve to never forgive those who unjustly took the life of a loved one is eternal.
A famous line that directly rejects the claims and very existence of Muzan Kibutsuji, progenitor of demons: “The resolve to never forgive those who senselessly stole the lives of our loved ones is eternal.” Most members of the Demon Slayer Corps have lost family or lovers to demons and had their lives thrown into chaos.
That hatred gave rise to people who would never otherwise have become swordsmen, and it is precisely what is now driving demons into a corner—so the line asserts.
Later, when Kagaya Ubuyashiki carries out his plan to raise morale, the weight of these words grows even heavier.
Eternity is the will of people. It’s human feelings that are truly eternal and indestructible.
https://www.tiktok.com/@animoti555/video/7390991222422211858While searching for each other, he finally came face to face with Muzan Kibutsuji and delivered this famous line: “Eternity is the will of humans.
It’s human will that is eternal and indestructible.” It’s a line that speaks to the futility of targeting Nezuko Kamado in pursuit of eternal, undying life.
Even if one’s life comes to an end, their will is passed down to future generations and will not vanish until their purpose is fulfilled—a message made all the more convincing coming from a clan that has fought demons for a thousand years.
It’s a quote that highlights the stark difference in values between demons and humans.
Amane, thank you so much for everything up to now.
As his condition worsened and he was unable to attend the meeting, his wife Amane participated in his stead and reported on its proceedings.
These are the words Yoya addressed to Amane.
They convey his gratitude for always being by his side—despite being tormented by a curse and facing a difficult path, with the support of their comrades, she remained his constant support.
It’s striking how his words sound almost like a final farewell, even though the battle is still far from over.
While leading the Demon Slayer Corps, he still expresses his thanks with earnest sincerity, and you can clearly feel his character in that straightforward gratitude.
You are not forgiven by anyone—not once in a thousand years.
The famous line spoken in a conversation with Muzan Kibutsuji—despite being mortal enemies who never once met—“You have not been forgiven by anyone.
Not once in a thousand years.” It’s a line packed with the conviction that those who had their loved ones taken from them so unjustly will never forgive demons.
No matter how long he lives or how strong he becomes, you can feel the unwavering resolve that Muzan will never attain the eternity or immortality he seeks.
It’s a quote that speaks to the truth that one’s deeds inevitably return to oneself, and there is no escaping that fate.
