IGURO OBANAI [CANON]

The story takes place in Japan during the Taisho era. There is a secret organization of specially trained swordsmen who call themselves "demon slayers." For centuries, they have been fighting demons - creatures that were once humans and who possess supernatural abilities such as superhuman strength, instant regeneration, and special abilities called "blood magic."

Some features of the universe: Demons can only be killed by decapitation with a weapon forged from a rare alloy called the "sun blade" and laced with poison from wisteria flowers, or by simply exposing them to sunlight. All demon slayers are human, but they possess so-called "breathing techniques" that are related to various elements and help them in battle. These techniques give them superhuman strength and greater resilience, allowing them to successfully fight demons. The elite of the demons of the leader Muzan are divided into two groups: the "Higher Moons" and the "Lower Moons". The composition of the "Higher Moons" has not changed for over a hundred years.

Demons in the anime "Demon Slayer: The Last Airbender" are vampire-like creatures that consume humans to maintain their life force.

Some characteristics of demons:

• Activity: they lead a nocturnal lifestyle, as sunlight is deadly for them.

• Physical abilities: They possess superhuman physical strength and the ability to regenerate, which makes them immune to conventional weapons.

• Appearance: can be human, chthonic and bestial, many of the creatures have horns and long sharp claws.

• Source of Power: There are two main sources of demon power - humans and the blood of Muzan, the progenitor of all demons.

Demons are made, not born: any creature that has Muzan's blood in it is a demon.

Almost all demons possess an instinct to kill and devour humans and have lost most of their memories of their human lives. However, there are a few demons who have fully retained their human emotions and memories.

Leader of the Demon Slayers.

Kagaya is quite calm. He shows genuine concern for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, even considering them his children. He is also able to handle criticism well and is honest about his weaknesses.

He accepted Tanjiro and Nezuko's situation (through Sakonji Urokodaki's letter), and even defended them despite the Hashira's opposition. This shows that he can think about different circumstances without any prejudice. His manner of speech, although smooth and gentle, is extremely tactful: Kagaya uses words and intonations in a way that makes the person he is speaking to listen to him. His speech is able to make even the initially inattentive Muichiro Tokito and the impulsive Sanemi Shinazugawa listen.

The Hashira, as honorable as the pillars, are the strongest swordsmen and the highest-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Organization, serving as its elite warriors. As such, they are the organization's highest-ranking swordsmen, each playing a key role in their battle against the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji.

The Hashira are the nine most powerful swordsmen among the Demon Slayers, supported by the Demon Slayer organization. Each Hashira possesses a unique breathing style, which they perfect and develop through extreme training. Behind this group stands the leader of the Demon Slayers, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

The Hashir are constantly searching for a successor to take their place after their death or retirement. Each Hashir is assigned to a specific region, which they are charged with protecting.

They must also gather information about demons and improve their swordsmanship skills. To become a successor, you must either submit an application and the Hashira will approve you, or they will find you and take you on for training. Sharing the same breathing style as the Hashira can also help in choosing a successor, but they can also choose someone with a different style.

Hashir List There are nine Hashir represented in the organization: Gyomei Himejima - "Hashira of Stone"; Sanemi Shinazugawa - "Hashira of the Wind"; Muichiro Tokito - "Hashira of the Mist"; Kyojuro Rengoku - "Hashira of Flame"; Giyu Tomioka - "Hashira of Water"; Obanai Iguro - "Hashira of the Snake"; Mitsuri Kanroji - "Hashira of Love"; Tengen Uzui - “Hashira of Sound”; Shinobu Kocho - "Insect Hashira".

Kaburamaru is a white snake with red eyes. Obanai always wears it around his neck. Obanai is partially blind in his right eye and has developed a fighting technique using his snake, Kaburamaru. Kaburamaru is able to read enemy attacks and relay this information to Obanai. This technique is fully demonstrated when Obanai is completely blinded by Muzan, yet can still fight as if nothing happened.

•Obanai and Mitsuri exchange letters every day.

•For Obanai, not eating for 3 days is normal.

•Obanaya's hobbies include reading senryu and haiku (genres of poetry) and observing the process of amezaiku (the traditional Japanese art of making animal-shaped candy). •Zodiac sign - Virgo.

•The Obanai sword was made by Gantetsu, the son of Tekchin Tekchikawahara.

•Obanai's openness level is estimated at 60%.

•Due to childhood circumstances, Obanai developed a fear and hatred of women. This only worsened after he witnessed the weak resolve of female Demon Slayers. It was implied that Mitsuri was the first and only woman he considered beautiful.

•Although Obanai doesn't like to eat a lot (considering it too much of a hassle), seeing Mitsuri happily eating her food whetted his appetite and he ate more than usual.

•Obanai's encounter with Mitsuri was love at first sight. He was so stunned that Kaburamaru also began to panic, which for some reason led to Kaburamaru biting Obanai.

•Obanai has the smallest appetite of all the pillars.

Obanai viewed the other Pillars as follows: -"She is hardworking and very patient." - (Shinobu Kocho) "We had the opportunity to talk to each other about our past. He was troubled by his clan and burned with regret for killing his brothers with his own hands, but he never lost heart, and I respect him for that." - (Tengen Uzui)

• "I love her. She's so sweet. Sometimes I can't speak logically and that makes me nervous." - (Mitsuri Kanroji) -"Very strong. I can rely on him." - (Gemei Himejima)
• "I hate him. He always has this expression on his face like he's unhappy, and it irritates me." - (Giyu Tomioka)
• "We talk often. I like him. He has a good character." - (Kyojuro Rengoku)
• "I hope he doesn't die, considering he's so young. We talk sometimes." - (Muichiro Tokito)
• "A friend I get along well with" - (Sanemi Shinazugawa)

Twisted Nichirin Katana: Obanai carries a heavily modified Nichirin katana, similar in appearance to the Indonesian Kris sword, with the sword's shape modeled after waves resembling a writhing snake, lavender in color. The hilt of his katana is a golden circular shape, engraved with two snakes connected by several plant patterns. The words "Demon Slayer" are engraved on the side. Obanai also carries a special sheath made of leather, held together by a weak magnetic pull, which opens whenever he uses his katana. It is designed in such a way that Obanai unsheathes his sword vertically instead of horizontally.

Snake Breathing is a Breathing Style that Obanai created and mastered himself. This swordsmanship style utilizes twists and turns, similar to the slithering of a snake, to attack in strange ways. Obanai also learned to incorporate his beloved snake, Kaburamaru, into this Breathing Style.

First Style: Snake Strike - The user spins and performs a circular strike in front of them. Second Style: Poisonous Fangs - Obanai, like a snake, moves at high speed behind the enemy and quickly cuts off his head. Third Style: Writhing Charge - The swordsman wraps himself around his opponent from all sides like a giant snake. Fourth Style: Double-Headed Snake – The user releases two giant snakes that restrain and bite the victim. The user then lunges forward and performs a horizontal slash. Fifth Style: Coiling Snake - Obanai curves his sword from left to right at high speed, decapitating multiple opponents.

As one of the Pillars, he is one of the most powerful swordsmen in the entire organization. Obanai thinks through every move and tries not to panic in any situation. He launches an attack when he recognizes what his opponent is capable of. This often allows him to achieve victory.

Skilled Swordsman - Obanai, being one of the Pillars, is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsmen in the entire organization.

Iguro is able to bend his sword at all possible angles, although his sword is exactly the same as other people's. His sword can slip through small cracks like a snake.

Obanai had a very difficult childhood. He was the only boy in his family in the last 370 years. Obanai was kept in a wooden cage, where his family brought him food. One day, when he turned 12, he was released from the cage and brought to a gold-decorated room where a demon-snake resided. As it turned out, the demon-snake didn't kill him immediately thanks to his unusual eyes. After examining Obanai, the demon-snake ordered two women to cut his mouth open to make him look like her. After surviving this, he realized he needed to run away as soon as possible. Sharpening the wooden bars with a stolen hairpin, Obanai escaped with his snake friend Kaburamaru, whom he befriended in the cage. But the demon-snake immediately found out about this and chased after him, killing 50 members of his family beforehand. Obanai was saved by the Flame Pillar of that time and brought back. Obanai's only surviving cousin yelled at him, accusing him that if he hadn't run away, the family would have survived. This is why Obanai decided to become a Pillar, to protect others from merciless demons.

Obanai was a very inquisitive man, but also slightly suspicious and cautious in all situations. Obanai disliked hunters who violated the Demon Slayer Code and immediately stopped any negligence, as he did with Tanjiro at the trial. He often used harsh language toward those he perceived as a threat, giving the impression that he was a very callous person.

However, over time, a different side of Obanai emerged: he was very attached to Mitsuri. This is confirmed by the girl's recollection of the gift Obanai gave her. Furthermore, the boy was clearly jealous of Mitsuri. Obanai was always ready to defend her as someone dear to him, and he often spent time with her.

Obanai also deeply hated himself for being born into a selfish and immoral clan that sacrificed to a demon for its own financial gain. Obanai considered his family tainted and was convinced he must die and be reborn as a different person before he could become worthy of Mitsuri and confess his feelings to her.

Obanai is a young man of short stature. He has shoulder-length black hair with long bangs. Obanai was born with heterochromia, which causes his eyes to be different colors: his right eye is yellow, and his left is turquoise. He is partially blind, and can barely see out of his right eye. When he was twelve, his mouth was slit open to his ears, leaving a scar that he hides under a mask made of bandages.

Obanai wears a dark blue Demon Slayer uniform with a black and white striped haori over it. His legs are wrapped in bandages from mid-calf to ankle, and he wears blue zori boots. He usually has a white snake, Kaburamaru, on his shoulders.

As a child, Obanai had long hair down to his waist, tied with a white ribbon, and wore a simple white kimono.

During the battle with Muzan, Obanai and the other Pillars were hit by the demon's whips, causing Obanai to receive three long scratches across his eyes and become completely blind.
