Kokushibo once killed a leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. This caused the Corps to put extreme effort in hiding the residence of future leaders. This event was also the one that caused the Kakushi to be formed. It's not just about the sword, but also the hands that held it. The legendary warriors who wielded this blade knew its worth, and in their grip, it wasn’t just a weapon – it was an extension of their will, their spirit. One can’t help but think about the connection between the blade and its master, two elements working seamlessly together to create history. The Intricacies of Kokushibo Sword Craftsmanship Materials Used in Forging the Blade Kokushibo ( 黒 ( こく ) 死 ( し ) 牟 ( ぼう ) , Kokushibō ?), formerly known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni ( 継 ( つぎ ) 国 ( くに ) 巌 ( みち ) 勝 ( かつ ) , Tsugikuni Michikatsu ?), is one of the interact-able NPCs in Demon Fall. He is a newly added character as the current final boss of the Slayer Storyline. He has also been added in the Patch 2.5 along with Doma and Akaza. Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze ( 伍 ( ご ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 霞 ( か ) 雲 ( うん ) の 海 ( うみ ) , Go no kata: Kaun no Umi ?) [35] - The user charges at their target at blistering speeds while performing dozens of slashes in front and/or around them.

However, despite this immense jealousy, spite, and the outright hatred he harbors for Yoriichi, he still deeply cares for his brother, as seen when he was touched by Yoriichi treasuring the handmade flute he had made for him as children; Kokushibo sheds tears over his brother's death, and even goes as far as keeping the flute itself for the following centuries as a memento. While the Kokushibo Sword is a marvel, the techniques used to craft such a blade weren't developed overnight. It was a journey, an evolution that spanned several generations. The ancient methods, passed down from master to apprentice, ensured that every blade was not just good but perfect.This sword is ornamental and not full tang, therefore not battle ready. We recommend not to sharpen the blade for your safety. Genya also appears to be very confident in battle, telling Aizetsu to focus on him despite the latter already having stabbed Genya with his Yari, and later announced his name to the demon and declared that he is the one who will kill him.

He employs a hand-ax with a thrash with spikes attached to the hilt with a lengthy chain, different from the Nichirin Blade. The weapon Gyomei employed was an imitator. It was created using a more advanced method than its predecessor, the Nichirin Blade but the same distinctive ore. 3. Yellow I could never grab hold of anything. Anything at all. I abandoned my home. I abandoned my wife and children. I abandoned my humanity. I cut down my descendants and abandoned being a samurai. But even all that wasn't enough? You said that those who master their paths all reach the same place. But I never did. I could not see the same world that you did. Why could I not leave anything behind? Why could I not become someone known? Why are we so different? Why in the world was I ever born? Tell me... Yoriichi... Moon Breathing : Kokushibo was the very first one to utilize Breathing Styles. His is one of the most dangerous and powerful breathing styles presented thus far. He can create many chaotic crescent moon blades, enhanced with his Blood Demon Art, that vary in length and size when slashing. Only after he had lived among the hills could he progress through The Breath of The Beast. Inosuke’s breath-taking style is the consequence of his Breath of Wind technique. It improves his perception of touch, as well as a better trace. 5. Pink Kokushibo's human family name contains the Kun'yomi/reading of the kanji for "to inherit, succeed" ( 継 ( つぎ ) , tsugi ?) and "country" ( 国 ( くに ) , kuni ?), while his first name contains the Nanori of the kanji for "sterness, severity" ( 巌 ( みち ) , michi ?) and the Kun'yomi reading for "to prevail, victory" ( 勝 ( かつ ) , katsu ?). His father was the one who named him, as he believed Michikatsu would be strong and successful.

Even so, deep down, he was a broken man who feared his own demise and was deeply jealous of his brothers' survival even with his mark, and he will hunt him down and kill him because of such jealousy. The Demon Slayer’s personality, skills, and overall energy can be seen in the color change. The Demon Slayer with a strong and determined character may have their sword change color into red, orange, or yellow. Likewise, the Demon Slayer who is full of love might be gifted a pink blade. These colors permit the swords to be used as an extension that reflects the demon’s character and values.

Regeneration: In fighting with the stone pillars in the arc of the castle infinity, Kokushibo’s sword is broken but, after a while, it heals, and damages are eliminated. What is the reason Kokushibo wields swords? He's like a wildcat. He's quiet and has pretty eyes. The nonmatching colors surprised me at first." - Serpent Hashira Against Kokushibo, the strongest Upper Rank, Genya consumed his hair and a chunk of his flesh katana, gaining enough strength to develop his own Blood Demon Art which played a pivotal role in the defeat of the Upper Rank. Despite his jealousy, Michikatsu was a great fan of his brother. It later was a part of the Demonslayers with his brother. After it was found out that no one could duplicate the techniques of Sun Breathing well enough to be able to master them, they were modified to fit the individual, resulting in different basic Breath techniques. Michikatsu was able to create his version, Moon Breathing. When it comes to sword-making, especially something as iconic as the Kokushibo Sword, old-school techniques reign supreme. It’s not a thing of mass production; every blade is handmade, reflecting the soul and skill of the craftsman behind it. The traditional methods employed ensure the blade doesn't just look good but also holds up when put to the test. Imagine the craftsmen, working diligently, their hands shaping, molding, and giving life to a weapon that would soon become legendary.

Demon Consumption & Empowerment: Genya possesses unnaturally strong jaws and special digestive organs which allow him to tear off and consume the flesh of demons without any adverse effects and tear off even the likes of tree bark. By devouring demon flesh, Genya temporarily gains demonic characteristics, such as fangs, dark sclera, and unique yellow tips in his hair. Sometimes, presumably because of how concentrated a demon’s blood is, Genya can gain attributes related to the demon he devours, like when he gained Kokushibo’s eyes, hair, and Demon Slayer Mark, with his shotgun even gaining the appearance of the Upper Rank’s katana.
