This article contains major spoilers from the Demon Slayer manga.

Enthusiasts of anime and cinema are thrilled by the premiere of the initial film titled “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Akaza Returns” in Japan. This movie is shattering box office records, demonstrating its exceptional quality. With the battle between demons and swordfighters escalating within the Infinity Castle, viewers anticipate witnessing dramatic scenes from the “Demon Slayer” manga unfold on screen, leaving them exhilarated.

As a dedicated fan of the captivating Infinity Castle storyline, I can’t help but feel my heart race at the prospect of yet another Hashira making their grand entrance! After witnessing the electrifying battles between Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, each bearing the active mark in Demon Slayer, the anticipation among fans is palpable. Who among the esteemed Hashira will step up next? The stage is meticulously set, with the Infinity Fortress providing a backdrop where every fight will be a matter of life or death. I can hardly wait to see what unfolds!

The Water Hashira Will Awaken the Demon Slayer Mark in Infinity Castle

  • The Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, is next in line to awaken the demon slayer mark in the Infinity Castle arc.
  • In the middle of a life-or-death situation, Giyu will unlock the elusive demon slayer mark.

In the anime ‘Demon Slayer’, activating the Demon Slayer mark isn’t a simple task. Unlike Yoriichi Tsugikuni who was naturally born with it, others must fulfill specific conditions to tap into this power. Even if a potential demon slayer has the capacity to meet these requirements, they may not be able to awaken the mark. In some unfortunate instances, those who fail to surpass these prerequisites risk losing their lives.

To date, several skilled characters in the “Demon Slayer” anime have managed to activate the rare emblem. For instance, Tanjiro Kamado unlocked it during the Entertainment District storyline, while Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji both achieved it in the Swordsmith Village arc. As we progress, viewers anticipate witnessing more gifted demon slayers unveil this mark, as battles within the Infinity Castle are predicted to test their limits to the maximum.

Indeed, it’s been confirmed that the manga “Demon Slayer” introduces a new gifted Hashira who will activate the demon slayer mark—Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka. His mark will appear on the left side of his face, as one might anticipate, taking the form of flowing water due to the breathing technique he employs. Given his encounter with a power-hungry adversary like Upper Moon Three, Akaza, Giyu requires a substantial boost in power such as the Demon Slayer Mark to engage in hand-to-hand combat with him effectively.

How Strong Will Giyu Become With a Demon Slayer Mark?

The Water Hashira Will Receive a Significant Power Boost

  • The Demon Slayer Mark will grant Giyu Tomioka faster speed and enhanced combat strength.
  • Even after awakening the mark, Giyu will have a hard time killing Akaza.

As an onlooker, it’s clear that Giyu Tomioka, even without the Demon Slayer Mark, demonstrates remarkable abilities as a Water Hashira. However, when he unveiled the enigmatic mark within the Infinity Castle arc, spectators couldn’t help but anticipate a substantial power surge. This enhancement would undoubtedly extend his endurance in an arduous battle against the Upper Demon Three, Akaza. After all, the Demon Slayer Mark bestows its bearers with heightened speed, strength, and resilience.

In Giyu’s situation, it’s likely that the Water Hashira will trigger the demon slayer mark following a formidable adversary like Akaza overpowering him after a considerable period. This event will unlock his previously sealed abilities, significantly enhancing his power for the confrontation with Upper Moon Three. Not only will Giyu’s speed accelerate, but he will also engage Akaza in a more balanced fight.

Even though the demon slayer mark’s activation might not guarantee Giyu’s victory against such an implacable opponent who only fights, it is crucial for Tanjiro to assist and shield him during the decisive moments of the battle. Prolonged combat tends to favor the demon over humans like Giyu, even after he activates the demon slayer mark.

The Remaining Hashira Who Will Awaken the Demon Slayer Mark

Gyomei, Sanemi, and Obanai Will Also Unlock the Mark

Over time, as each new Infinity Castle film drops, I can’t help but feel a thrill knowing that additional Hashira will unleash their hidden demon slayer potential. Beyond Tanjiro, Muichiro, Mitsuri, and Giyu, the intense battles and formidable adversaries we encounter will undoubtedly awaken the demon slayer mark within more brave souls.

Even if something does happen, my heart will never waver.—Giyu Tomioka

Fans of Demon Slayer can anticipate that Gyomei Himejima, Sanemi Shinazuga, and Obanai Iguro, members of the Stone, Wind, and Serpent Hashira respectively, will exhibit their demon slayer marks in the upcoming Infinity Castle films. As is customary, these marks are believed to display distinctive designs reflecting their breathing techniques, much like Giyu’s mark did previously.
