Slayer Corps

The **Slayer Corps** (鬼殺隊 *Kisatsutai***?**) is an organization that has existed since ancient times, dedicating its existence to protecting humanity from demons.

There are hundreds of Demon Slayers within the organization, however they are not officially recognized by the government. With Muzan Kibutsuji's demise and the near-extinction of the demon race, the Corps officially disbanded.

## Structure

### Joining

In order to become a Demon Slayer, an individual must pass the Final Selection, a test used as an entrance exam to join the Slayer Corps. During this selection, examinees must survive for seven days on a mountain top infested with demons without any aid from the outside world.

Candidates who complete the Final Selection are issued the standard uniform, as well as being given the opportunity to choose the ore for their special sword, which is designed to eliminate Demons efficiently. Each new Demon Slayer is also assigned one of a rare species of talking bird for communication purposes.

### Salary

Mizunoto are roughly paid around 20,000 yen whereas Hashira are paid as much as they want.

### Ranks

Members of the Slayer Corps are separated into ten different ranks. From lowest rank to highest, these ranks are:

**Slayer Ranks**

Once a Demon Slayer has fully settled into the organization, they are classified as a member of the lowest rank: Mizunoto. They must complete a variety of missions to ultimately climb the ranks and reach the highest Demon Slayer position: Kinoe.

Following the Final Selection, each swordsman has their rank inscribed on their hand through a process called "Wisteria Flower Engraving." As they continue to progress as swordsman, they can check their rank by saying a password and flexing their arm to reveal their status.

### Hashira

Within the Demon Slayer Corps, there is a group of elites known as the Hashira. This group consists of the most powerful combatants in the organization.

The Hashira, in accordance with their great strength, are the most highly ranked members of the Corps, second only to the leader of the organization. In order to become eligible to join the Hashira, a Demon Slayer must either successfully kill 50 demons or a member of Twelve Kizuki as a Kinoe.

## Slayer Mark

The Slayer Mark is a mysterious supernatural marking that can be unlocked and may appear on the body of a strong Slayer. The most talented Slayers of the Slayer Corps have a chance to develop a mysterious tattoo, scar, or birthmark marking. It resembles the demon crests that appear on the bodies of most demons. These marks are referred to as Slayer Marks. It looks somewhat like a tattoo, scar, or birthmark and each Demon Slayer Mark looks unique, relating to the Breathing Style of the bearer.

## Equipments

### Uniform

The members of the Slayer Corps wear a uniform that is highly durable and light-weight, they are also water-resistant and non-flammable. The uniform cannot be easily damaged by minor Demons. They sport their uniforms with a white belt and hakama pants, also wearing a white long-sleeved collared shirt under the uniform.

The Slayer uniform appears remarkably similar to a Gakuran uniform, consisting of a buttoned shirt with a white framed collar having the kanji for **Destroy** (滅 *Metsu***?**) engraved on the back, a shirt pocket on top of the left breast and white undershirt. It also consists of long, saggy tattsuke-hakama pants strapped by a white buckled belt that can be optionally tucked in with any kind of Kyahan that extends into tabi socks.

### Nichirin Sword

**Nichirin Swords** (日輪刀 *Nichirin Tō***?**) are special blades used by and made specifically for theSlayer Corps to slay demons. They are forged from a unique ore that constantly absorbs sunlight, one of the only major weaknesses of demons. Therefore, decapitation by Nichirin Sword is one of the only ways a human can kill a demon, the other being the use of a Wisteria-poison coated weapon.

Nichirin Swords take on a distinct color when first drawn by its owner, which is why they are also referred to as **"Color Changing Katanas"**. However, the holder is required to have a certain amount of skill, or the blade will not change color.

### Kasugai Crow

Upon passing the entrance exam, each new Slayer is also assigned a Kasugai Crow. These crows posses the ability to speak in full sentences, though their speech is very loud and somewhat limited.

It is the job of these birds to deliver missions to their designated Demon Slayer.
