The Chance To See Muichiro Tokito And Mitsuru Kanroji In Action

The Hashira have quickly become the most interesting characters in the show. Giyu, Kyojuro, Shinobu, and Tengen are examples of demon slayers who have become legendary in the series, mainly due to their status as the Hashira.


So, it goes without saying that witnessing both the Mist and Love Hashira take on powerful demons in this arc will be a blast. After all, both Tengen and Kyojuro have provided viewers with plenty of entertainment as is, and both Muichiro and Mitsuru are pretty much poised to do the same!


A Key Point

At first glance, a demon attack on the swordsmiths could easily look like a low-stakes affair, but this arc certainly does not lack for intense character drama. Tanjiro's worst nightmare becomes reality when he is forced to choose between saving Nezuko from the rising sun or pursuing Upper-Rank Four who is racing toward the villagers to consume them before escaping. Unable to decide, Nezuko kicks Tanjiro toward the demon, which he takes as his cue to choose the greater good over his sister. Tanjiro ultimately defeats the demon, but not before Nezuko is exposed to the sun's lethal light.
