[4] List of Known Nichirin Weapons [ ] Wielder In his battle against the former Lower Rank Two, Hairo, Kyojuro was able to out-wield the demon's bushido sword style, which Hairo appraised as he was decapitated. Kyojuro's precise blade work could also slow down Enmu in his fused form, which gave him the opportunity to explain his plan to Tanjiro and Inosuke. His mastery of the blade is best showcased during his battle with Akaza, in which he was more than capable of fighting on equal ground with the Upper Rank who had killed countless Demon Slayers and even Hashira over the last century, even to the point that Akaza constantly praised Kyojuro's swordsmanship.

Moreover, the blade is blood-red in color and has veins and eyes all over it. The eyes and veins are also present over the hilt of the sword. Unfortunately, the manga never goes over the purpose of the eyes and the veins. However, their presence is clearly dominating and scary.

This unique shape allows Obanai to use his sword in unpredictable ways, making it much harder to doge than a regular sword.Life is a series of decisions. You never have unlimited options or unlimited time to think, but what you choose in that instant defines who you are. Warriors who strive to save other people's lives are precious.

What they choose in that moment, is a cry from the depths of their souls. Isn't that right... my friends?" [31] The Rengoku Sword, also known as the “Sword of Purgatory,” is believed to have been forged centuries ago by a legendary swordsmith. According to ancient tales, the sword was imbued with the power to sever the ties between the mortal realm and the afterlife. It was said to have the ability to vanquish evil spirits and protect its wielder from supernatural dangers. By raising the temperature of the blade, a Nichirin Sword will turn shining bright red. Bright red Nichirin swords hamper the regeneration of demons and can generate extreme heat that can induce immense pain to demons. There are only 3 known methods to turn a Nichirin sword bright red: Using Nezuko's Blood Demon Art, raising the temperature of the blade with a strong grip, and clashing two Nichirin Swords together (the latter two only capable of being achieved when the Demon Slayer Mark is present).

After the intense battle, Tanjiro is seen mourning the loss of his comrade and paying his respects to Rengoku. The emotional scene left many fans wondering if Tanjiro would take up the responsibility of wielding Rengoku’s sword and carrying on his legacy. Kyojuro is one of only four Hashira that use a normal Nichirin Katana. The other three are Giyu Tomioka, Muichiro Tokito, and Sanemi Shinazugawa. On the other hand, it is important to consider Tanjiro’s own journey and character development. Throughout the series, Tanjiro has shown tremendous growth, both in his skills as a swordsman and as an individual. Taking up Rengoku’s sword could potentially overshadow his own personal growth and undermine his unique style of combat. Tanjiro has always relied on his own techniques and abilities, and it would be interesting to see him forge his own path rather than simply following in the footsteps of his fallen comrade.

Kokushibo, the demon form of Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s twin brother, was able to use breathing techniques even after being turned into one of Muzan’s demons.
