Yuma Kuwajima

Yuma Kuwajima is the main protagonist of DemonFall. He is depicted as a 14 year old boy who after his family is killed by a demon, goes on a quest to find and kill Muzan Kibutsuji, the king of the demons. He was found crying in an alley by Kyojuro Rengoku, who offers to train Yuma in Flame Breath, which Yuma accepts. Yuma then masters Flame Breathing and is assigned to fight alongside Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inoskue Hashibara. Yuma was also assigned to fight on the Mugen Train and in the Entertainment District. **DISCLAIMER: Due to the advancement of AI in the recent year, this disclaimer must be added to this article. The Bing AI does NOT provide accurate information about Yuma Kuwajima at the moment. This is working to be fixed. Yuma was indeed trained by Kyojuro Rengoku, but the AI says he was trained by Jigoro Kuwajima, which is not true.**

Yuma’s birthday is June 12th. This date was specifically chosen because it was the hottest day of the year in which DemonFall was created. Since Yuma is a Flame Breather, the author wanted to make Yuma’s birthday the hottest day of the year.

## Sword smith village

book 3 and 4: Swordsmith village alt occurs through books 3 and 4 of DemonFall. Yuma, Tanjiro, Muichiro, and Mitsuri fought and defeated Upper Moons 4 and 5.

## Backstory

Yuma’s backstory is that his family was killed by a demon when he was 14 years old. He runs away from his old home and into town, crying profusely. The demon slayer Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku found Yuma slumped against an alley wall. Rengoku asked if Yuma was in any danger or physical pain. Yuma told Rengoku what had happened. Kyojuro felt bad for Yuma and knew he probably wouldn’t make it on his own, so he offered to train him in Flame Breathing and Yuma accepted the offer. Yuma spent the next two years training in Flame Breathing and eventually mastered the first five forms. Rengoku then introduced Yuma to Tanjiro Kamado, a demon slayer who would be observing Yuma as he performed the first five forms of Flame Breathing before taking the demon slayer Final Selection test. Yuma passed the test with the help of fellow slayer Akihiro Kanjori, a love breather trained by Mitsuri Kanroji.

## Mugen Train

In the first book, after learning Flame breathing, Yuma was assigned to fight alongside Rengoku and Tanjiro’s team on the Mugen Train in order to defend it from a suspected demon. Yuma played a key role during the fight against Lower One Enmu, warning everyone to keep their eyes closed to prevent Enmu from hypnotizing them. He also used his sixth sense to help the temporarily blinded slayers locate the demon. After slaying Enmu, Yuma and the others had to fight Upper Three Akaza. Rengoku insisted that Yuma stay out of the fight, as Yuma wasn’t strong enough to fight an Upper Rank demon. Yuma refused to stay out and helped fight Akaza. After Rengoku was stabbed through his chest, Yuma saved Rengoku’s life by cutting Akaza’s arm off and using the flesh as a plug of sorts. Rengoku ended up healing over the wound and was later revealed that he was still able to fight with the slayer corps.

## Entertainment District

book 2

After his wounds healed from Mugen train, Yuma was dispatched to the Entertainment District with Tengen Uzui and his team. Yuma was suspicious from the start of the mission, but his suspicions were only confirmed when he actually saw Upper Six Gyutaro. Yuma alerted Uzui and the others, and Uzui began the battle by coming in and slashing the side of the demon. Yuma came back and used the first Flame Breathing form, Unknowing Fire, to slash the demon. The battle lasted about three chapters of the book and ended with Yuma decapitating Gyutaro while Zenitsu decapitated Daki.

## Fighting Style

Yuma uses Flame Breathing, a powerful breathing technique that allows the user to seemingly manipulate Flames to use powerful strikes and blows.

### Techniques:

First Form: Unknowing Fire. User dashes at the opponent with their sword facing outwards in order to slash their opponent.

Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun. User approaches the opponent and attempts to decapitate them by slashing upward and slightly diagonal.

Third Form: Blazing Universe. User slashes downward to inflict heavy damage. Yuma is known to use this move by slashing horizontally rather than downward.

Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation. User spins their sword in a circular motion and stabs outward to deflect an enemy attack.

Fifth Form: Flame Tiger. User performs several hundred slashes and stabs that send out flames in the shape of a Tiger. This move is extremely powerful and is used as a final blow.

Sixth Form: Fire that Touches the Sky. User crouches low to the ground and then jumps into an upward dash, attempting to decapitate the enemy.

Seventh Form: Flame Tornado. User spins their blade outward to create a flaming spiral effect that can catch the enemy in the flurry of slashes.

Eighth Form: Underworld Explosion. User stabs their sword into the ground and a flaming explosion hits the enemy coming straight from the ground.

Tenth Form: Moeru Yari (Burning Spear). Yuma created this move himself during the fight against Akaza. It is partially derived from the Thunder Breath move, Thunderclap and Flash SixFold but is basically the first form of Flame Breathing performed six times in a row in rapid succession.
