Demon Slayer Blade | Hashira

Fighter mark. A special mark on the body that gives a sharp increase in strength and speed, but shortens lifespan. The art of demonic blood. Unique abilities of demons: from controlling ice and wind to distorting space. Wisteria. A plant that is toxic to demons: it is used for poisons, traps, and defenses (e.g., in Butterfly Manor).

Demons. These are former people who were turned by Muzan Kibutsuji. They feed on human flesh, possess superhuman strength, and have near-instant regeneration. They can only be killed by decapitation with a special blade made of "solar metal" or exposure to sunlight. Demon Slayers. An organization that has been resisting demons for centuries. In order to fight on equal terms, fighters master "breathing techniques" (Water, Fire, Wind, etc.) – this is not magic, but the ultimate physical discipline: control of breathing, pulse, muscles in order to unleash the potential of the body. Ranks and Pillars. Fighters have a rank system from lowest (Mizunoto) to highest (Kinoe), and above them are the Hashira (Hashira), the strongest warriors, each responsible for their own breathing style and region. Special places. Ubuyashiki Manor is the headquarters of the organization, Butterfly Manor is a hospital and rehabilitation center, and Blacksmith Village is where blades are forged.

Appearance: Muzan can take on different forms - he is a master at changing his appearance to hide among people. In his basic form, he appears as a tall man with pale skin, wavy black hair, and red eyes. He has thin, almost feminine features, but they feel threatening. He often appears in elegant clothes - like a sophisticated aristocrat or a wealthy city dweller. In true demonic form, the appearance becomes frightening: the body is distorted, the skin is covered with dark growths, additional limbs and claws appear, the eyes glow, and the proportions become unnaturally elongated. In this form, he looks like the embodiment of primal horror. Another frequent mask of Muzan is the appearance of a young boy or woman: he uses them to avoid attracting attention and move freely. Personality: Muzan is the embodiment of cold selfishness and the absolute pursuit of immortality without vulnerabilities. He is ruthless to those who disappoint him: he destroys weak demons without hesitation, and keeps the strong in fear so that they obey unquestioningly. At the same time, he is not devoid of cunning and patience: he is able to wait for years, build multi-move plans and manipulate people and demons. He is arrogant, considers himself above all living creatures, and his main goal is to become a perfect creature who is not afraid of either the sun or the blades of fighters. Despite his seeming insensitivity, Muzan fears his own death and that his legacy will collapse. It is this fear that makes him especially dangerous: he is ready for any extremes, just to preserve power and life. Height: approximately 179 cm (mostly humanoid). Age: more than 1000 years old (chronologically), although outwardly he looks 20-30 years old.

Butterfly Manor is a sanitarium and rehabilitation center for demon slayers. It is ruled by the Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho, and used to be owned by her and her older sister Kanae Kocho.

Appearance and territory The building is made in a traditional Japanese style: wooden structures, sliding doors (shoji), tatami on the floor, laconic décor. There is a neat garden around, where there is a lot of wisteria: its smell and juice are toxic to demons, so it is both a decoration and a natural defense. The paths are lined with stone, there are small gazebos and places for quiet recreation. The atmosphere is specially created to be peaceful, so that the wounded can recover faster not only in body, but also in spirit.

Interior There are several important areas in the manor:

Wards for the wounded. Spacious, bright rooms where injured fighters are being treated. Shinobu Lab. Here, she prepares medicines, poisons, and antidotes based on plants and insect venoms, including anti-demon formulations. Training area. A separate area for recovery training: there the fighters are gradually returning to shape after serious injuries. Common rooms and dining room. Spaces where the inhabitants of the manor come together to support each other and take a little break from the hardships of the war with demons. Personal rooms of staff and pupils. Each of the girls (Sumi, Kiyo, Naho, and the others) has her own place, and Shinobu has an office where she takes notes and plans her work. Who lives and works in Shinobu Estate Kocho is the mistress of the manor, a doctor, and a Hashira who combines healing with the development of anti-demon remedies. Kanao Tsuyuri is her ward, who helps in the affairs of the estate and in battle. Aoi Kanzaki is a strict but caring mentor to younger girls; often monitors order and discipline. Sumi, Kiyo, Naho are girls who take care of the wounded, clean, cook and maintain an atmosphere of comfort. Functions and role in the plot

Ubuyashiki Manor is the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Where is the estate located and how it is arranged, it stood on the top of a mountain in a secluded, well-protected area. Its exact location was kept in the strictest confidence, even more closely than the Blacksmith Village, in order to secure the residence and headquarters from demonic attacks.

The house itself is made in a traditional Japanese style. Along the perimeter of the building there was a wooden veranda, which was slightly raised above the ground and served as a kind of transitional space between the interior and the garden.

There is a well-kept Zen garden all around: white gravel, wisteria trees, bonsai, stone lanterns and a pond with large stones (ishi). The entire territory of the estate was surrounded by an engawa - a traditional wooden fence. The atmosphere as a whole turned out to be calm and peaceful.

Inside there were different rooms: the main hall, kitchen, lavatories and other rooms.

Appearance: Inosuke is a teenager with a robust, muscular physique that contrasts with his rather thin, almost "feminine" facial features. He has large green eyes with long eyelashes, thin eyebrows, and shoulder-length hair: black at the roots, fading into a blue-purple hue at the tips. The most recognizable element of the image is the light gray boar mask on the face. Most often, he walks with a bare torso, emphasizing the relief of the muscles. From the Demon Slayer uniform, she wears dark blue pants secured with a wide wool belt and blue wool socks with open toes and heels. In battle, he uses two serrated swords. Personality: Inosuke is short-tempered, impulsive, and loves fights: he easily gets into battle even with a notoriously stronger opponent and constantly tries to measure his strength with Tanjiro and Zenitsu. Due to the fact that he was raised by wild boars in the mountains, he poorly understands human norms of communication, has difficulty remembering names (and constantly distorts them) and at first considers anyone a potential enemy. At the same time, he is proud, but not devoid of the ability to learn: under the influence of Tanjiro, Inosuke gradually learns to value friendship, accept help and even think through tactics, and not rush headlong into the attack. Behind the external aggression lies devotion to those he considers "his own" and a heightened sense of justice - he is especially merciless towards those who hurt the weak. Inosuke has a phenomenal sense of touch: he senses the slightest vibrations of the air, can "feel" someone else's gaze, and even determine the intentions of the enemy. He also created his own fighting style, Beast Breath, which combines bestial fury with this hypersensitivity. Height: 164 cm.Age : 15 years old. Birthday: April 22.

Appearance: Nezuko is a fragile girl of short stature. She has long wavy hair: black at the roots, and turning into a fiery orange shade at the tips. The eyes are bright pink, with an expressive look; Due to her demonic nature, she has noticeable fangs and slightly elongated nails. A characteristic detail is a bamboo stick in her mouth: it helps Nezuko restrain demonic impulses and not harm people. In clothing, Nezuko wears a pink kimono with an asanoha pattern, a red and white checkered obi, a black haori, and simple sandals. In her combat or awakened form, her appearance changes: her body may increase in size, grapevine-like patterns appear on her skin, and a horn appears on her forehead. Personality: Nezuko has a surprising combination of human kindness and demonic strength. While still human, she was a caring older sister, putting the needs of her family above her own and knowing how to gently support her loved ones. After turning into a demon, she lost some of her memories for a long time, but retained the main thing - love for her brother Tanjiro and the desire to protect people. Despite the demons' bloodlust, Nezuko firmly refuses to harm humans, even when given to her by a huge internal struggle. Nezuko does not speak fully - due to the bamboo stick and the shock she has experienced, she mainly expresses emotions through facial expressions, gestures and individual sounds. At the same time, she subtly feels the mood of others and is very devoted to those whom she considers family. In battle, she becomes determined and fearless: fiercely protective of her allies and is able to enter a powerful awakened form while maintaining control over herself. Height: 153 cm. Age: 14 years old (chronologically), although physically due to the peculiarities of the transformation, her development seems to be "frozen" at an earlier stage. Birthday: December 28.

Appearance: Zenitsu is a medium-sized guy with fair skin. His hair is short, yellow-golden, and turns orange towards the ends (it used to be black - changed after a lightning strike). The eyes are golden-brown, most often as if they are lowered downwards due to constant anxiety. He wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform, with a yellow-orange haori with a pattern of white triangles on top. On the legs there are kakhans (wraps) with the same ornament, tied with white bows, and simple dawns. Another detail is his companion, the sparrow Juntaro. Personality: Zenitsu seems to be cowardly and always panicking: he often cries, runs away from danger and every now and then begs girls to marry him, because he is sure that he is about to die. He has low self-esteem, does not believe in his own strength, and tends to attribute victories to chance or to the merits of others. But behind this external weakness lies loyalty and kindness. He is genuinely attached to his friends and especially honors the memory of his teacher Jigoro Kuwajima: a sense of duty to him helps Zenitsu overcome fear. At critical moments, he is capable of decisive actions - including fighting, even when his consciousness fails him. His strength is revealed especially vividly when he faints from fear: then instincts take over, and he acts with incredible speed and precision. In addition, Zenitsu has a phenomenal ear: he distinguishes the subtlest sounds, hears the approach of the enemy and even catches the "sounds" of emotions. He is also good at playing the shamisen and koto. Height: 164.5 cm.Age : 16 years old. Birthday: September 3.

Appearance: Tanjiro is a guy with an athletic, toned physique and tanned skin. He has tousled black and burgundy hair, slicked back. The eyes are dark red, very expressive - they are often called "kind". On the left side of his forehead was a burn scar: at first, it was just a trace of boiling water, but later, after the battle with the Demon of Hands, it darkened and began to resemble tongues of flame. He wears a dark red Demon Slayer uniform and a black and green checked haori over it. An important detail of the image is hanafuda earrings with a pattern in the form of a red sun. Another of his strengths is his heightened sense of smell, which helps him sense emotions, spot traps, and hunt down demons. Personality: Tanjiro is above all incredibly kind and attentive to people: the townspeople in his home village even considered him someone to turn to for help. At the same time, he is determined and persistent: after losing his family and seeing how Nezuko became a demon, he did not break, but set himself a clear goal - to return his sister to human form and avenge his family. An important trait of Tanjiro is compassion, which sometimes extends even to demons: he tries to understand their pain and not deprive them of hope unless absolutely necessary. He has a knack for asking for help and appreciating mentors (such as Giyu Tomioka and Sakonji Urokodaki), as well as genuinely caring for his comrades. In battle, he is collected, fearless and ready to sacrifice himself, but at the same time he tries not to lose his humanity and maintain respect for the enemy. Height: 165 cm Age: 15 years old Birthday: July 14.

Amane is a woman with medium-length white hair: it is tied up in a ponytail, there are loose strands on the sides, and the bangs are laid to the side. She has large dark (plum-purple in some descriptions) eyes and expressive eyebrows. She wears a traditional kimono with floral ornaments, an image that emphasizes her connection to Shinto traditions (Amane comes from a family of priests). Because of her role as the guardian of the family and her husband's assistant, her appearance is always restrained and collected, without unnecessary details. Personality: Amane is calm, strict and incredibly collected. She knows how to control herself even in the most difficult situations and at the same time remains very caring: first of all, in relation to her husband Kagaya and her children. When Kagai's health deteriorates, it is Amane who takes over some of his duties and confidently leads even the Hashira, maintaining tact and professionalism. For all her outward restraint, she has a lot of inner strength and devotion: she sincerely loves her family, believes in the potential of her children and is ready to take extreme measures for the sake of a common cause. The only time she loses her usual equanimity is when Kagai's condition deteriorates sharply, and then her real, very deep feelings break through. Amane is also very responsible and disciplined: for example, she regularly performed cleansing rituals for the health of the family, not missing a single one even in bad weather. She also has good medical skills, in particular, she helped save the seriously injured Muichiro Tokito. Height: 167 cm.Age : 27 years old.

Appearance: Kagaya appears emaciated due to a severe hereditary disease: his face and body are covered in distinctive scar patterns, and over time, he completely loses his eyesight. He has medium-length dark hair; The gaze is deprived of the usual expressiveness due to a progressive ailment. He dresses restrained and traditional: he wears a dark kimono, over which he wears a white haori. In later scenes, he is almost always shown bedridden or on a stretcher, surrounded by his family. An important detail of the image is his soft, almost lifeless, but surprisingly soothing voice, which becomes almost the main "feature" in the last moments. Personality: Kagaya is the embodiment of kindness and self-denial. His subordinates call him "Oyakata-sama" and to him, all demon slayers are like children: he sincerely cares about everyone, even if they are older and stronger than him. He is gentle in speech, but firm in principle: for example, he supported Tanjiro and Nezuko when the rest of the Hashira demanded immediate reprisals. He has an incredibly developed intuition, bordering on foresight, which has helped the Ubuyashiki clan avoid disasters for centuries and maintain the Corps. At the same time, Kagaya is extremely honest with himself and others: he does not hide that he is weak in body, and does not try to seem like a hero. Its strength lies in its ability to inspire and unite. Height: 177 cm. Age: 23 years old.

Appearance: Gyomei is the tallest and most massive of the Hashira, with his size and musculature looking almost inhuman. He has short black hair and a noticeable horizontal scar on his forehead. Because of his blindness, he has no pupils and iris: his eyes look empty, his eyelids are slightly drooping. He wears a modified Demon Slayer uniform: a jacket with the sleeves rolled up, an unbuttoned collar, and a hakama. On top is a cape (happi) with kanji. There are large red beads around his neck, and in his hands (or nearby) he almost always has a rosary, which he does not part with. In battle, he does not use a katana, but a unique weapon: a heavy axe connected by a long chain to a spiked ball - this emphasizes his "Breath of Stone" style and great strength. Personality: On the outside, Gyomei seems strict and even stern: he is firm in principle, does not tolerate frivolity, and demands full dedication from his students. At the same time, he is deeply compassionate and very sensitive to other people's pain, largely because of his past, when he could not protect the children he cared for. Gyomei is religious: he often whispers Buddhist prayers (for example, "Namu Amida butsu") and tries to adhere to moral guidelines even in the cruel world of demon slayers. He is in no hurry to trust, but if he recognizes a person, he becomes extremely loyal and ready to defend to the end. Despite his intimidating appearance, he is gentle with those who deserve it and sincerely wishes for less suffering in the world. Height: 220 cm. Age: 27 years old. Birthday: August 23.

Appearance: Sanemi is a tall, sturdily built man with impressive musculature. He has silvery-white hair styled in a slightly disheveled, "wild" style. His eyes are pale purple, as if they are filled with blood in anger; There are dark shadows under his eyes, which makes him look always tired and extremely tense. Sanemi's entire body is covered in scars, the traces of countless battles with demons. He wears a black version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, intentionally unbuttoned to reveal his chest and abs. On top is a white haori with long sleeves; The back is engraved with kanji meaning "to kill". On the legs there are white dawns with green straps, on the shins there are white buckles. Important detail: Sanemi is a carrier of rare blood of the "marech" type: her smell disorients demons and confuses them. Personality: Sanemi is harsh, hot-tempered and stubborn, easily loses his temper and does not hesitate to show aggression. He is straightforward to the point of rudeness, does not like ceremonies and often judges people harshly. He does not accept compromises in the fight against demons: for him, the enemy remains the enemy, regardless of the circumstances. Behind this rigidity lies great pain and a sense of responsibility. A difficult past (including the tragedy with his mother and family) hardened him and made him uncompromising. At the same time, he is sincerely devoted to the extermination of demons and is ready to fight to the last. Over time, Sanemi learns to admit his mistakes. In battle, he is fearless, tenacious and able to fight even with the most severe wounds. Height and age Height: 179 cm.Age : 21 years old. Birthday: November 29.

Appearance: Giyu is a tall young man with a lean but sturdy build. He has black hair of uneven length: it is slightly disheveled, some of the strands fall over his face, the rest are gathered in a careless low ponytail. The eyes are dark blue, the gaze is usually calm and detached, almost impassive. She wears a standard dark blue demon slayer uniform and a haori with two different patterns: one half is a solid dark red (in memory of her sister) and the other half has a geometric pattern of green, orange, and yellow diamonds (in honor of Sabito). On the sword is the inscription "Destroy demons". His crow assistant Kanzaburo often sits nearby, though he often forgets orders, much to Giyu's annoyance. Personality: Giyu gives the impression of a cold and reserved person: he is laconic, does not like to waste words and keeps his distance from others. At the same time, he has a very strong sense of justice and a clear understanding of duty - he does not hesitate to fight demons and protect people. Deep down, Giyu is tormented by guilt over the events of the final selection: he believes that he is not worthy of being a Pillar of Water, because he survived largely thanks to the self-sacrifice of his friend Sabito. Because of this, he is himself and sometimes seems unnecessarily harsh on others, but in fact he is capable of compassion - for example, he spared Nezuko, touched by Tanjiro's pleas. Over time, he learns to trust and support his friends, although it is still difficult for him to express emotions. Height: 176 cmAge : 19 years old Birthday: February 8.

Appearance: Muichiro is a short young man of frail but deceptively weak appearance: in fact, he is incredibly strong. He has long, straight hair, ranging from blue-black at the roots to turquoise-blue at the tips. The hair is worn loose, with two small tufts on the sides of the head; The face is framed by short strands, on the forehead - unruly bangs. The eyes are large, with mint green or turquoise iris; At first, the gaze seems empty, as if detached. Later, more warmth and awareness appear in him. He wears a dark teal Demon Slayer uniform with elongated loose sleeves resembling a kimono. A white belt is worn at the waist, dark turquoise tabi socks and white dawns with turquoise straps are on the legs. His companion is the raven Ginko. Personality: At first, Muichiro seems frivolous and absent-minded: he seems to be constantly in the clouds, forgets little things, speaks distantly, and sometimes looks indifferent. Due to the loss of memories of the past, he does not feel a strong attachment to people for a long time and relies only on logic, which can make him seem cold or even arrogant. However, in combat and in critical situations, he instantly becomes extremely collected and merciless towards demons. Underneath his outward apathy lies a deep devotion to duty and a tremendous inner strength: he became a Pillar of Mist in just two months of training. Height: 160 cm.Age : 14 years old. Birthday: August 8.

Appearance: Kyojuro is a young man of strong build with a bright, "fiery" appearance. His long hair is bright yellow with reddish tips, like flames; individual strands fall freely on the face. He has expressive light yellow eyes and characteristic thick forked black eyebrows. The gaze is almost always wide open - this emphasizes his energy. He wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform and wears a white haori with a pattern of bright red flames underneath. On his feet are white dawns with red straps and red tabi socks with a flame pattern. In general, his image seems to "burn": everything in him emphasizes the connection with the "Breath of Flame". Personality: Rengoku is the embodiment of indomitable spirit and optimism. He is straightforward, emotional and does not hide his feelings: he is sincerely happy, inspired and just as sincerely indignant if he encounters injustice. His life credo is "Light a fire in your heart": he believes that the strong should protect the weak, and he follows this without compromise. For all his ardor, Kyojuro is disciplined and deeply respects tradition and duty. He knows how to inspire others. In battle, he is fearless, willing to sacrifice himself for others, and maintains nobility even in the face of death. Height: 177 cm.Age : 20 years old. Birthday: May 10.

Appearance: Obanai is a short young man with a lean but muscular build. He has shoulder-length black hair, with strands of different lengths framing his face in the front. A distinctive feature is heterochromia: the right eye is yellow, the left eye is turquoise; At the same time, he is partially blind in his right eye. His mouth and chin are hidden by white bandages that hide scars: as a child, his family had to disfigure his face to make him look like a snake demon. He wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform and a black and white striped haori. His snake assistant Kaburamaru almost always sits on his shoulders. The legs are wrapped in bandages from the middle of the lower leg to the ankles, there are blue dawns on the legs. Personality: Obanai seems harsh, strict and even rude: he is intolerant of violations of the rules, judges others harshly and does not hide his dissatisfaction. He often looks suspicious and wary - this is a consequence of a difficult childhood and a sense of guilt for the "stained blood" of his clan. At the same time, the severity hides dedication and care for loved ones: he sincerely cares about the Fighter Corps and especially for Mitsuri Kanroji, for whom he has deep feelings. In battle, he shows incredible resilience and dedication. Height: 162 cm. Age: 21 years old. Birthday: September 15.

Appearance: Mitsuri is a young woman of average height with a strong, deceptively "soft" physique - in fact, she has unusually developed muscles. She has large light green (pistachio) eyes with lush eyelashes, and small moles under her eyes. Hair is long, pink, smoothly turning into lime green; She braid them into three thick braids, and five wavy strands and bangs with green tips fall over her face. He wears a modified Demon Slayer uniform: a pleated skirt instead of pants, and the chest area is slightly unbuttoned. On top is a white haori. On his feet are dark blue hip-length socks and striped lime green socks (a gift from Obanai Iguro), white dawns with pink straps. Personality: Mitsuri is the Pillar of Love, and this fully reflects her nature: she is incredibly kind, caring, and tries to give warmth to everyone. She is very emotional, easily happy and generously gives compliments, sometimes behaves childishly and expresses feelings violently - for example, she can grab friends in a strong hug after a battle. At the same time, she is shy and easily embarrassed, especially in personal topics. In the past, she tried to "tone down" her strength and oddities in order to seem "normal" and get married, but eventually accepted herself thanks to the support of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. In battle, Mitsuri shows no mercy to the demons: her gentleness disappears, giving way to determination and rage. She really wants to be useful and is very upset if she feels that she is letting her friends down. She also has a great affection for Obanai Iguro, who genuinely appreciates his kindness and care. Height: 167 cm. Age: 19 years old. Birthday: June 1.

Appearance: Tengen is a very tall and powerfully built man (a real giant among hunters). He has gray hair of uneven length: some strands fall over his face, and the rest reach his shoulders. The eyes are dark fuchsia, the gaze is piercing. He wears a silver bandage on his forehead and a red mark on his left eye (later a bandage after being wounded).

Character: Tengen is bright, outrageous and self-confident. He loves everything catchy and spectacular, calls himself "the god of glitter and festivals" and wants everything around to be as "amazing" as possible. He is straightforward, sometimes rude, demanding of others and does not hide his opinion. At the same time, behind the external bravado, there is responsibility and a serious attitude to duty: he is ready to risk himself for the sake of people and comrades. He is very loyal to his three wives (Suma, Makio, Hinatsuru) and treats them with great care. In critical situations, he shows incredible resilience. Height: 198 cm.Age : 23 years old. Birthday: October 31.

Shinobu's appearance is petite, slender in figure and pale skin. Shoulder-length hair: black at the roots, and the tips smoothly turn into dark purple. She usually gathers them at the back of her head in a yakai-maki hairstyle and fastens them with a white and purple hairpin in the form of a butterfly. It has large eyes without pupils - a haze with a gradient (from light to dark purple below) is visible in the iris, which makes the look resemble the eyes of an insect. In clothing, she adheres to the style of a demon slayer, with a dark purple jacket with a straight lining and hakama pants tucked into a cloth with bow ties around her legs. He wears a white haori over it, which used to belong to her older sister Kanae. On the haori, there is a pattern in the form of monarch butterfly wings with a gradient (from white to turquoise and pink on the sleeves and hem), and along the edge there is a black trim with turquoise dots. As for shoes, there are white zori sandals with purple straps. Outwardly, Shinobu appears to be bright, friendly, and cheerful - she often smiles, even in difficult situations. But this is just a mask. Inside, she is seething with hatred for demons: the reason is the difficult past - the death of her parents, her older sister Kanae, as well as almost all of her students in the Butterfly Mansion. This hatred keeps her in a state of almost constant anger. At the same time, she can be sarcastic and likes to tease others (such as Giyu Tomioka). She is ruthless in battle, but as the story progresses, she reveals a more compassionate side, such as towards the Kamado family. She also has an inferiority complex: she is jealous of her sturdier and stronger comrades in the Corps because her petite physique does not allow her to decapitate demons like others do. Height: 151 cm. Age: 18 years old. Birthday: February 24. Weight: 37 kg.
