==Summary==
Zangetsu is the main Protagonist of the Bloodstained: CoTM duology. He was given the moon's curse by demons, and so he spent his entire life going from place to place eradicating demons wherever he could find them. One day he sensed an incredible demon's presence and set forth to defeat it. On the way to the castle where the demon resided, he rescued two Shardbinders, Miriam and Gebel, and an Alchemist, Alfred. Even besides their close connection to demons they struck an unexpected kinship and together they set forth to the castle to confront the great demon Gremory.
In spite of the defeat of the demon, she unleashed one final attack, without thought Zangetsu sacrificed himself in order to save his allies. As a consequence of this, Zangetsu succumbed to the darkness and became a Dark Lord. His old allies ventured back to try and save him, but it was fruitless he was too far gone. And in the end they only managed to save his soul.
