Repetitive Action

**Repetitive Action** (反復動作, *Hanpuku Dōsa*?) is a technique practiced and taught by a few individuals from the Demon Slayer Corps. It is introduced by Genya Shinazugawa, who has learned it from Gyomei Himejima.

## Overview

The technique allows the user to reach a state of Total Concentration Breathing by opening all five senses, which makes it similar to the technique of the Breathing Styles. By repeating a set of pre-determined movements (like constantly praying and remembering a moment of intense anger and pain), the user can constantly raise their concentration and thus draw out all the physical powers of the body for a long period of time. The strengthening causes increased body temperature and an accelerated heart rate.

A Demon Slayer utilizing both Breathing Styles and Repetitive Action can gain immense strength that even rivals Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki and the Seven Onitsumi to an extent. It is later revealed that using both techniques can help to unlock the Demon Slayer Mark and to maintain it for a prolonged time.

## Known Users

**Gyomei Himejima** - Gyomei attains this by constantly praying the Japanese Nianfo "Namu-Amidabutsu" (南無阿弥陀仏, ***"Namu-Amidabutsu"***?).

**Genya Shinazugawa** - Genya Shinazugawa cannot use Breathing Styles, thus he has to rely solely on the technique of Repetitive Action to achieve the level of Total Concentration Breathing. Like his tutor Gyomei he reaches this state by repeating prayers. The Mantra that Genya repeats in order to reach/maintain this technique is the set of prayer of the Amidāyurdhyāna Sutra (阿弥陀経, *Amida Kyō*?).

**Tanjiro Kamado** - Tanjiro learned this technique after consulting Genya. He raises his concentration to its maximum limits by remembering the faces of his loved ones and repeatedly recalling Kyojuro Rengoku's phrase "Set your heart ablaze" (心を燃やせ, *Kokoro o Moyase*?).

**Inosuke Hashibira** - Inosuke quickly understood the concept behind Repetitive Action by watching Tanjiro. He imagines the Tempura that he ate together with his training group and repeatedly calls out his favorite phrase "Boar Rush" (豬突猛進, *Chototsu Mōshin*?) as his mantra. To Zenitsu's surprise, Inosuke indeed gained enough strength to move a boulder.
Ninju

**Ninju** (忍獸ムキムキ鼠, *Ninjū Mukimuki Nezumi*?), also referred to as **Shino Buff Mice**, are intelligent mice that work for Tengen Uzui.

## Overview

The mice are specially trained for the purpose of being assistants to Tengen and his acquaintances, as seen during the events at Yoshiwara, Tokyo. They are strong enough to carry one sword per mouse, and are capable of navigating small spaces humans normally wouldn't be able to.

### Appearance

The mice have pointed snouts and large rounded pink ears. Their fur is mostly grey, but the parts covering their legs and hands are black. Unlike regular mice, the Ninju have extraordinary large muscles. Like their owner, they wear a headband of pale grey that's decorated by three big light pink gemstones arranged in a line.

## Trivia

* In the official anime, the Ninju were voiced by Subaru Kimura for Japanese, and Khoi Dao and Bill Rogers for English.
Rokuta Kamado

**Rokuta Kamado** (竈門 六太, *Kamado Rokuta*?) was the youngest brother of Tanjiro Kamado. He was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

## Etymology

* Rokuta's name contains the On'yomi/reading of the kanji for "six" (六, *roku*?) and "grand, excellent" (太, *ta*?). The full name means "sixth son", as Rokuta is the youngest of the six Kamado siblings.

## Appearance

Like the rest of his family, Rokuta has light skin and dark red eyes along with white pupils. He wears his black hair in a bowl-cut and wears a blue kimono with white diamond patterns.

## Personality

While not much of his personality is known, Rokuta seems to have a good relationship with his parents and siblings.

## History

Rokuta grew up on Mount Kumotori alongside his older siblings and mother. He is the youngest son of the Kamado family.

It appears that Rokuta had a positive relationship with his father as Nezuko mentioned him to be lonely and clingy to Tanjiro after their father's death.

## Synopsis

### Final Selection Arc

As his father had recently passed away, Rokuta has trouble sleeping out of loneliness. Nezuko is seen carrying Rokuta on her back to lull him to sleep.

While Tanjiro is in the town, Rokuta and the rest of his family are attacked and, aside from Nezuko, are killed by Muzan.

Damage and Casualties|  | * The Tongue Demon is killed

**Zenitsu Agatsuma vs Tongue Demon** was a battle that takes place in the Tsuzumi Mansion. It focuses on the confrontation between the Demon Slayer Zenitsu Agatsuma and one of the three demons inside the mansion.

## Prologue

As they walk around the halls of the mansion, a nervous and wary Zenitsu continues to hold onto Shoichi's hand as the duo attempt to find a way out. Calling out to Zenitsu, only to be told off by the latter for making a loud noise, Shoichi then tells Zenitsu how he feels unsafe around him, especially considering how frightened Zenitsu was. Zenitsu begins to profusely apologize and tell him that they should stay quiet to avoid being attacked by demons, just as the Tongue Demon appears in front of them.

Zenitsu, now much more terrified than before, desperately tells the demon to stay back, additionally saying that saying neither he nor Shoichi would taste good as they begin to run away. The demon simply responds by saying that he would not know how they would taste if he did not try, proceeding to chase and attack them.

After running into a room, Zenitsu collapses onto the ground out of sheer fear, telling Shoichi to escape and leave him. The young boy of the two on the other hand immediately refuses and Zenitsu is further pressured with his responsibility to save Shoichi. As the Tongue Demon approaches them, he tells them that he is going to suck their brains out through their ears. Zenitsu suddenly passes out due to both his fear and the stress of the current situation finally catching up to him. Shoichi begs him to wake up just as the demon lashes out its tongue.

## Battle

An unexpected gesture occurs as the demon's tongue is cut off by Zenitsu as the latter stands with his head hung low; subconscious sustaining him. Moving into the stance for using **Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash**, Zenitsu gets ready to decapitate the Tongue Demon without hesitation. With one swift move and a direct slice from Zenitsu's Nichirin Sword, the demon's head now lies on the ground, as Zenitsu easily goes through with his attack, now standing victorious against the demon in battle.

## Aftermath

Shoichi gapes in shock while he looks at Zenitsu who wakes up and screams at the sight of the deceased demon's head, now decapitated from its body. The confused Demon Slayer misunderstands the situation and begins to express extreme gratitude towards Shoichi for "saving" the pair, also telling him he should have let possessed extreme strength much earlier on. Shoichi, now at a loss for words and decides not to say anything, telling Zenitsu they should go.

It is not known when the Kyogoku House was established in Entertainment District. However, when Tengen Uzui was investigating the report of a demon within the district, he sends his wife, Hinatsuru, to infiltrate the Kyogoku House to try and gather information.

After he loses contact with his wife, Tengen travels to the Entertainment District with the Demon Slayer's to try to infiltrate a second time. After Tanjiro and Inosuke are dropped off at their corresponding houses, Zenitsu is abandoned at the Kyogoku house by Tengen (disguised as Zenko).

It is revealed that two days before the Demon Slayer's arrived at the district, the demon, Daki, had been discovered living within the house by Omitsu, the headmistress, and seemingly murdered her.

After settling into the house, Zenitsu puts on an emotional performance to play the shamisen for the staff of the house after being abandoned by Tengen.

Following his episode, Zenitsu begins to search the house for Hinatsuru, but when he uses his advanced sense of hearing, he realizes there's a girl crying within the house and runs to her aid. When he arrives to the room, the walls and door have been destroyed and the young girl has been beat up. The oiran of the house, Warabihime, comes behind him and demands to know why Zenitsu is in her room, and proceeds to abuse the girl who was supposed to be cleaning the room. Sensing that she is a demon, Zenitsu tries to protect the girl, but Warabihime becomes enraged and knocks him unconscious.

Zenitsu is then seemingly taken from the house and is not seen there again. It is unknown if the Kyogoku House was still standing at the end of the major battles.
Tomi

**Tomi** (トミ, *Tomi*?) is a bento vendor for a train station supporting the Mugen Train, and the grandmother of Fuku.

## Etymology

* Tomi name kanji mean "weath, abundance." or used as combination of (to) meaning capital and (mi) meaning beautiful.

## Appearance

Tomi is an old woman of a short stature with long white hair worn in a bun down her back. She has dark purple eyes that fade into a violet color lower down, their irises white and vertically rectangular.

Tomi wears a brown kimono and a red haori, as well as large round glasses.

## Personality

Tomi was seen to be a polite and kind woman, evident when she defended Kyojuro Rengoku after her granddaughter became suspicious of him when he had asked her about demons. She cares for her greatly and tried many times to reassure her when she was upset about the poor sales of her bentos at night.

Unlike most humans, she has known about the existence of demons for a long time, owing to her own life almost ending to an attack years ago, which was the reasoning for her cautioning Fuku not to stay out at night, in spite of the girl's skepticism. She also was shown to be very brave, attacking the Slasher when he tried to attack her granddaughter.

## History

Twenty years before meeting Kyojuro Rengoku, Tomi and her young daughter were attacked by a demon. In the nick of time, they were saved by the Flame Hashira of then, Shinjuro Rengoku. Rescued and safe from the threat, she never forgot his appearance and ritualistic way of sheathing his Nichirin sword.

## Synopsis

### Mugen Train Arc

   At the station, Tomi listens as her granddaughter Fuku laments to her about the poor sales of their bento boxes. Kyojuro Rengoku appears, and Fuku becomes wary of him, which Tomi tries to pacify. After he buys their bento boxes and leaves, the two close up the shop together.

Tomi and Fuku are attending the shop again the next day when they're approached by a demon, Slasher, who almost strangles Fuku. Kyojuro appears and is able to save her, defeating the demon, to which the two express their thanks by offering the Hashira a bento box.

Tomi reminisces about the time she herself was saved by a Flame Hashira, along with Fuku's mother, which Kyojuro recognizes as his father. Fuku apologizes to her grandmother about her disregard for demons but Kyojuro cheerfully responds that not believing in them may be for the better.

Before Kyojuro boards the Mugen Train for his investigation, Tomi and her granddaughter provided him with beef bentos as a token of appreciation for saving their lives, which he happily accepted and enjoyed.

## Abilities

As an ordinary human, she doesn't possess any additional powers or abilities.

## Quotes

* (To Kyojuro after mistaken for Shinjuro) *"You..saved us, didn't you? Twice. I'll never forget that face, that haori. Fuku's mother...and I...20 years ago, you saved our lives."*

The first kanji of her surname translates to a traditional Japanese wood or charcoal-fuelled cookstove/furnace (竈, *kama*?), while the second kanji means "door" (門, *do*?) with it being affected by rendaku.
	+ The fact that her surname translates to the word for a wood-fueled furnace is likely a reference to her family's occupation prior to their demise.

## Personality

The Horned Demon was prideful and confident, as seen when he showed no hesitation to attack at the sight of Inosuke Hashibira, even boasting about the fact that he'd soon taste Inosuke's flesh and sarcastically complimenting his attack. However, his pride and lack of caution quickly became his downfall as he underestimated Inosuke, showing a lack of ability to properly size up his opponent before fighting them.

Inosuke breathes in using his self-taught **Beast Breathing** style and lunges forward, using both of his swords to slice off the Horned Demon's arms. He then uses **Third Fang: Devour** and swings his blades into the demon's neck, cutting off its head and killing it.

## Aftermath

While at times he seems insecure and weak-willed, as shown when he attempting to argue with Muichiro Tokito's harsh but true statements, Kotetsu can also be hot-headed and barbed tongued. Without Muichiro to see him in the company of Tanjiro, he openly insulted the Hashira on multiple occasions, which shocked Tanjiro with his sharp contrast in demeanour.

Despite initially bearing a grudge on the Mist Hashira, Kotetsu openly wept and repeatedly thanked Muichiro for saving him from a demon attack, even taking back his hatred and insults (which Muichiro did not even know about). He began begging Muichiro to save Kozo Kanamori and Hotaru Haganezuka, showing that he is open to changing his feelings towards people and be on better terms.

## History

Kotetsu was born to a family of swordsmiths dating back to the Sengoku period, over 300 years before the Taisho period. His ancestors built an advanced battle doll modelled after a Demon Slayer named Yoriichi Tsugikuni and it was used to practice swordsmanship and refine the skills of other Demon Slayers.

His father died unexpectedly, leaving him a lonely orphan; he was an only child. Unfortunately, this also meant that he alone had the knowledge about the inner workings of the doll and should it break, no one but him can repair it. This led him to be protective of the doll to avoid further damage.

## Abilities

**Overview:** Despite his young age, he has shown to be a skilled teacher and trainer, as shown when he asks Tanjiro to face Yoriichi Type Zero. Kotetsu also corrected the posture and mistakes that Tanjiro made and how he had survived this way, which indicates that Kotetsu has had some trouble with demons.

## Trivia

* Kotetsu's actual face bears a striking resemblance to his mask, so much so that people say he doesn't really need to wear the mask.
* He is an orphan with no siblings.
* After hearing of Muichiro Tokito's death after the final battle, an adult Kotetsu styled his hair to appear as Muichiro's in a way of honoring the late Mist Hashira.

Insect Breathing

**Insect Breathing** (蟲の呼吸, *Mushi no Kokyū*?) is a Breathing Style derived from Flower Breathing.

## Overview

Insect Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics insects, specifically their lethal stings and movements, and replicates it with user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms include stabbing, thrusting, and making shallow cuts with a specially coated/made sword to inflict multiple wounds onto the intended target in order to inject various lethal wisteria-based poisons into them. Users of Insect Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly manifesting insects (mainly butterflies) when unleashing its techniques.

This Breathing Style is the personal creation of Shinobu Kocho, who designed it to compensate for her lack of physical strength to behead a demon. Hence, this sword style can only be utilized by her and only using a unique katana with a needle-like tip, resembling an insect's stinger in appearance and function. The "stinger" is designed for injection of Wisteria poison into demons. As noted by Doma, the blade sheath was also designed as a portable poison mixer, allowing Shinobu to change the poison that coats her blade at a moment's notice.

After the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, Insect Breathing, like Sun Breathing and the other Breathing Styles, became a ritual dance known as the **Mushinokami Kagura** (蟲の神 神楽, *Mushinokami Kagura*?, lit. "Dance of the Insect God") offered to the Japanese deity, Ōkuninushi.

## Weaponry used with this Breathing Style

Most known users of the Insect Breathing have wielded modified thin rod-like stinger Nichirin swords whose blade is lavender blue in color.

## Techniques

Insect Breathing has 4 known techniques and forms at minimum.

* **Butterfly Dance: Caprice** (蝶ノ舞: 戯れ, *Chō no mai: Tawamure*?) - The user leaps into the air and charges towards the opponent, stinging them multiple times with their blade to inject poison in just seemingly one strike.
* **Bee Sting Dance: True Flutter** (蜂牙ノ舞: 真靡き, *Hōga no mai: Manabiki*?) - The user dashes at their target at blinding speeds and uses the momentum of their speed to then strengthen a single thrust into their opponent and inject poison into them.
* **Dragonfly Dance: Compound Eye Hexagon** (蜻蛉ノ舞: 複眼六角, *Seirei no mai: Fukugan Rokkaku*?) - A six strike attack with which the user aims to strike and inject their target with multiple doses of poison at the target's weak spots (such as the neck, heart, torso, etc.) in order to kill them with a large dose of poison.
* **Centipede Dance: Hundred-Legged Zigzag** (蜈蚣ノ舞: 百足蛇腹, *Gokō no mai: Hyakusoku Jabara*?) - An attack with which the user uses their full speed to run a zigzag pattern that confuses their opponent in order to create an opening for them to directly stab their opponent's neck and inject poison to kill them, with the stab's force and power being further enhanced by the momentum of their speed. Doma noted that the sheer speed of this technique is strong enough to destroy an entire wooden bridge.

## Trivia

* Shinobu's sword is similar to the rapier sword from Western Europe.
Mount Fujikasane

**Mount Fujikasane** (藤襲山, *Fujikasane Yama*?), is a mountain full of Wisteria blooming every season from the mountain's foot to its slope.

## History

### Final Selection

The mountain is used by the Demon Slayer Corps for the Final Selection, where individuals seeking to become an official Demon Slayer can prove themselves. The examinees that pass shall be recognized and receive their own Demon Slayer Uniform, Nichirin weapon and Kasugai Crows.

In order to insure the success and skill of the crop of Demon Slayer candidates, the Mountain itself is used to house a large number of demons, captured by previous Demon Slayers in order to be used to test the survival skills and combat abilities of the candidates.

Due to the large amount of Wisteria trees growing from its foot to its slope, the mountain has essentially become a gigantic prison for demons. With the Wisteria trees preventing them from leaving the mountains, the demons there are forced to starve until the Final Selection.

During his time as a active Demon Slayer, former Water Hashira, Sakonji Urokodaki captured a initially weak demon and imprisoned him in the mountain to use him in the Final Selection. However, unknown to him, this Demon would thrive and gain power and strength in the mountain by feasting on the Demon slayer candidates. The Demon in particular would make a point of targeting the apprentices of Sakonji and made a point of devouring them after killing them in the most painful way possible.
Blood Demon Art

**Blood Demon Arts** (血鬼術, *Kekkijutsu*?) also known as **Èmó Yìshù** (惡魔藝術, *Èmó Yìshù*?) in Chinese, are specialized supernatural abilities possessed by higher-level demons.

## Overview

Every time a demon devours a human, the demon becomes stronger, and they can eventually develop unique supernatural powers, known as Blood Demon Arts. Blood Demon Arts are different from demon to demon, with every power seemingly based on a central theme, (i.e. martial arts, sleep, the sea) some of which are evidently based on a demon's past, personality, interests, and/or occupation. Moreover, Blood Demon Arts may not have a singular usage, and instead grant multiple abilities under the same concept or theme. As suggested by its name, all supernatural phenomena and effects use their wielders' blood as a medium to manifest themselves in reality. Essentially, Blood Demon Arts are blood magic.

The abilities and effects granted through Blood Demon Arts can vary greatly. Some can be combat-orientated (i.e. creating dozens of blades) or more supplementary and practical (i.e. controlling a fortress, manifesting illusions). Some are more simple and recognizable (i.e. manipulating electricity and ice), while some are more complex and unorthodox (i.e. creating invisible arrows that control a person's vector, controlling one's biology), thus making the abilities of demon-kind extremely versatile and powerful.

It is implied that Blood Demon Arts can be shared, as Rui was able to share his spider-themed Blood Demon Art with demons in his "family", granting them Blood Demon Arts (as well as characteristics) based on spiders.

Blood Demon Arts are not to be confused with other supernatural abilities possessed by demons including but not limited to their regeneration, flesh morphing, extrasensory perception, and absorption abilities.

### Weaknesses

A universal weakness to Blood Demon Arts is that they are susceptible to both sunlight and Nichirin weapons, meaning that they will disintegrate or be dispelled when exposed to sunlight or cut with a Nichirin Sword, possibly attributed to the fact that each ability and technique is created from a demon's flesh and blood.

Another weakness is related to the demon's blood, where if in some situation where their body's blood gets depleted, they will be unable to use their Blood Demon Arts. This is evident in Kokushibo being unable to unleash any crescent moon blades when Genya Shinazugawa's blood-sucking trees are holding the Upper Rank down.

It is stated that Qi and Umoya abilities are extremely effective against them.

## List of Known Blood Demon Arts and Users

\**The name of the Blood Demon Arts listed above are not their official names, and are named based on conjuncture.*
Tsuguko

A **Tsuguko** (継子, *Tsuguko*?, lit. "Successor") is an exceptionally talented combatant of the Demon Slayer Corps who is designated as the apprentice of one of the Hashira.

## Overview

The Tsugoku position acts as a wild card for the Hashira position in the Demon Slayer Corps, which can only be obtained by a select few who have impressed the current Hashira. Becoming a Tsuguko to a Hashira can be achieved through two methods:

1. **Application:** by applying for the position and being accepted. An example of this method is Genya Shinazugawa, who ardently desired to become a Hashira. Despite lacking the ability to use a Breathing Style, Genya persistently sought to be Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima's Tsuguko, who was the strongest Hashira of the current generation. While Gyomei couldn't make him his Tsuguko, he still provided training and guidance to Genya.
2. **Scouting:** by being scouted by a current Hashira. An example of this method being used is when the Flame Hashira: Kyojuro Rengoku extended an invitation to Tanjiro Kamado to become his Tsuguko, recognizing his potential and skills.

The ability to use a Breathing Style is considered a prerequisite to becoming a Tsuguko. While it is common for a Tsuguko to utilize the same Breathing Style as their mentor, it is not a strict requirement. For example, Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, was Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku’s Tsuguko and Mitsuri used Love Breathing, a modified version of Flame Breathing.

The primary role of a Tsuguko is to step into the shoes of the Hashira they serve under, should the Hashira no longer be able to fulfill their duties. This can occur when a Hashira retires or passes away. In the event that the Tsuguko practices a different Breathing Style than their Hashira mentor, they may eventually assume the position of a Hashira within their respective Breathing Style. This ensures the continuity and strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, as the next generation of skilled warriors is prepared to uphold the responsibility.
Aoki Ubuyashiki

**Aoki Ubuyashiki** (産屋敷 青木, *Ubuyashiki Aoki*?) is the youngest child of Hideyoshi Ubuyashiki and Yuiko Ubuyashiki. He was the 36th Oyakata-sama of the Demon Slayer Corps and was the leader who asked Yoriichi Tsugikuni to leave the Demon Slayer Corps. He also was the head of the Ubuyashiki Family at his time after his father's death.

## Etymology

Aoki's surname, Ubuyashiki, contains the kanji for "bear, give birth to" (産, *ubu*?), "house, shop" (屋, *ya*?) and "spread" (敷, *shiki*?). His given name contains the kanji for "blue" (青, *ao*?) and "wood, tree, timber" (木, *ki*?).

## Appearance

## Abilities

### Supernatural Abilities

**Soothing Voice:** Aoki, like his father, and past and future male family members of the Ubuyashiki Family, possesses the ability to put others at ease just by the tone of his voice and rhythm of his actions. In modern times, this attribute is called 1/F Fluctuation, and is said to be possessed by many charismatic people and have the strength of presence to move mass audiences. He used it to persuade the other Hashira not to have Yoriichi be killed.

## Trivia

* Aoki became the Oyakata-sama at age six after his father's demise.
Cyclops

## Powers and abilities

Due to his mutation, Cyclops can generate an optic blast of exceptional force from his eyes, capable of penetrating most surfaces and even able to hold back- albeit briefly- the nigh-unstoppable Juggernaut when he completely lets rip. However, brain damage sustained in the past has damaged his ability to control these blasts, requiring him to constantly wear specially-designed lenses made of ruby quartz to absorb and contain his blasts in order to allow him to see without risking leveling everything in sight.
