However, who is this extraordinary Demon Slayer, and what sets him apart?

A Hashira is Set to Impress Kokushibo in the Final Battle

The Upper Rank Will Praise a Hashira For His Extraordinary Talent

In the fortress known as Eternal Castle, the Demon Slayer Group is gearing up to confront Muzan’s minions before they can reach the Demon King. So far, the demon slayers have usually battled an Upper Moon in teams, with the only exception being Muichiro who defeated Gyokko single-handedly. However, things are set to escalate as Akaza, Kokushibo, and Doma prepare to unleash their full might.

It’s heartbreaking to see that the world often doesn’t treat kind-hearted individuals fairly, as they seem to pass away one after another. (Sanemi Shinazugawa)

It’s intriguing that the full Demon Slayer Infinity Castle trailer didn’t show Kokushibo, but instead hinted at Doma and Akaza’s enemies. However, it’s been mentioned that Kokushibo, the Upper Rank One, will have a thrilling battle, engaging in individual fights against Genya, Sanemi, Gyomei, and Muichiro. Despite being outnumbered by some of this generation’s top-tier swordsmen, Kokushibo is expected to overpower them on multiple occasions, demonstrating why Muzan holds him in such high regard.

Amidst the turmoil, it is the Wind Hashira, renowned for his exceptional swordsmanship and impressive physique, who will captivate Kokushibo. The warrior in question is none other than Sanemi Shinazugawa. He’ll make his entrance after Kokushibo has subdued Muichiro Tokito and viciously assaulted Genya. The gruesome wounds of his brother will spark a blaze within the Wind Hashira, propelling him to transcend his bodily limits. His form, timing, and masterful maneuvers will align perfectly with his intentions.

Kokushibo, as usual observant, scrutinizes his fighting style and acknowledges that his physical prowess has reached its pinnacle. The Upper Moon will share this astonishment upon encountering Sanemi’s techniques, conceding that he might be one of the finest swordsmen they have ever crossed blades with. Despite suffering severe wounds, Sanemi manages to outsmart and astound Kokushibo on several occasions. In fact, Kokushibo will comment on how Shinazugawa’s command over Wind Breathing recalls the first Wind Hashira from the Sengoku Era.

Sanemi’s swordplay is distinguished not only by his exceptional abilities but also his extraordinary determination. He’s a resilient figure who can battle despite grievous wounds. This tenacity will undoubtedly come into play when facing Kokushibo as well. Shinazugawa will sustain serious injuries, yet he’ll press on, fighting the Upper Moon with unyielding courage, like the wounding never occurred. His movements and swordplay will be swift and graceful. The accuracy of each strike will not go unappreciated, and Kokushibo will often find himself outmatched by Sanemi’s swordsmanship.

What Makes Shinazugawa’s Swordsmanship So Effective?

Sanemi Shinazugawa demonstrates an unyielding fighting style that’s tough to match. It’s no wonder that even a skilled swordsman like Kokushibo, who has honed his craft for centuries, acknowledges the exceptional skill of the Wind Hashira. His speed, stamina, and iron will are indeed key factors in his swordsmanship prowess. However, the primary reason behind his greatness lies in his command over the element of wind through his mastery of the Wind breathing technique.

After learning his unique breathing style, Wind Hashira Sanemi quickly developed an intense focus on perfecting it. This relentless pursuit of mastery eventually made him one of the most skilled swordsmen among his peers. What’s even more remarkable is that his already awe-inspiring swordsmanship and ruthless fighting style will reach new heights once he unleashes his Demon Slayer Mark.

Sanemi gets the chance to wield the enigmatic Bright Red Nichirin Sword, a weapon that hinders a demon’s healing powers. Meanwhile, Kokushibo faces two challenges: first, dealing with Shinazugawa; second, engaging in combat against Gyomei, Genya, and Muichiro all at once. Initially, the Wind Hashira’s attacks might not be as potent, but they will gradually make Upper Moon One appear vulnerable to defeat. Sanemi’s masterful swordplay is destined to carve a lasting impression on history and secure his enduring legacy.

The initial part of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle trilogy is set to debut in the U.S. on September 12, 2025.
