So there a databook of Kimetsu no Yaiba, from that we learn couple of thing:
- There are 9 pillar slots since the word have 9 stroke in Japanese
- Requirement for pillar position is that: kill 50 demons and 1 moon
- Tokitou like origami ( kinda hard now since he lost 1 hand )
-The pillars actually pretty wealthy since Ubuyashiki let them manage the land and business of his family in their region.
E.T technically is a Isekai movieExcuse me, just writing a quick notice to raise awareness of a subject I saw in some entries in the series page, regarding the Breath of the Sun, please those who have written Breath of the Sun and Hinokami kagura / Dance of the Fire God as the same thing, stop and inform yourselves a little better, they are not the same thing, as of 169 chapters of the series and the July 2019 Databook has explicitly told that the Dance is vaguely connected to the Breath of the Sun, a subject that the author has yet to fully explain but she has made clear the Breath of the Sun is one thing entirely above what the Dance has shown, tropers should not write it as if Tanjiro has actually used the Breath of the Sun in any stance within the 169 chapters available as I write this comment.
Also, I have seen people mistaking Tanjiro and Nezuko as being descendants from the Sun users, same as Muichirou Tokitou, that is not true either, the Kamado family are descendants of Sumiyoshi, a good friend of the famed Sun user who almost defeated Muzan, but they are not family, whatever makes the Kamado family special comes from something other than being blood related to the family of Breath of the Sun users, that has yet to be revealed.
Just got through the Swordsmith's Village arc, and while I have quite a few thoughts about the series, for now I'll save them until I'm fully caught up and just say this:
Friendship ended with Harem Head Ninja Dude, Mitsuri Kanroji is now my favorite pillar.
Though the Breath of the Mist is the coolest technique.
And Inosuke is still my favorite character.
Villains Never Lie and all...I don't think Kokushibo is the type to BS. He's been very no nonsense thus far.
Fun theory about the relationship between the Dance of the Fire God and the Breath of the Sun I found in the Ko Y Wiki:
As Sumiyoshi learnt more and perfected his Bot S, the later Demon Slayers took his style and broke it down, taking fundamental lessons of combat from Bot S to create their new styles, which is why it's stated Breath derives from it. Over time, the new Breaths each accumulated new skills and adaptations as each user added their own experience and abilities, thus creating completely new paths that branched out from Bot S.
Dot FG though is the original core that has been maintained in it's purest aspects as a ritual dance. As Tanjiro has trained to use the Breath of Water, and Bot W basically contains strands dervived from Dot FG, he has subconsciously taken the lessons of Bo W and basically plugged it into the Ritual Dance. As such, he's basically started a new Bot S, using the knowledge of sword wielding from Uroboshi to once more apply Dot FG in combat.
Base on the translation of chapter 170, Koku seem to be upset that people with great skill ready to die and lets those skill be forget. Seem like his motivation is that he don't want to die and waste all the technique he has created. If Koku and the first Sun user aren't the same person, it kinda create a nice contrast between them, one faced death with dignity and entrust his skill to later generation( the doll, his sword and the Dance) while Koku can't accept that his technique will be forget overtime and cling to life to preserver it.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie
It will almost certainly involve some Heroic Sacrifice, judging by how things have been going.
Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
Hello there, Kimetsu no Yaiba fans.
I brought up an issue here
, in the "spoiler policy violation" thread. Basically, the page Characters.Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba The Demon Killing Corps organizes characters by whether they're active, retired, or dead. This means that merely looking at a folder can result in major spoilers (I was looking for whether a certain trope applied to someone in the anime, and ended up learning that they end up dead later in the manga before I even opened a folder).
I don't really see what's the purpose of even organizing characters that way. Wouldn't it make much more sense to have them ordered by when they made their first appearance, or alphabetically, or literally any criteria that isn't a huge spoiler just from looking at where a character's folder is?
Since I'm currently an anime-only watcher (I plan on reading the manga once the current season ends), I don't think I'm up for the task of re-ordering the characters, so I figured this was the best place to find people who are caught up to the manga and who could help with this problem.
I'd thought that myself, and ran into the same spoilers for Rengoku and Kocho. Granted, looking into the folders inevitably yields the same result, but at least you have to open the folders first.
I also question labeling the page pillars when we have an official English term in Hashira, but one thing at a time.
…I came to complain since I was spoiled Shinobu's death while looking up another character's name a few minutes ago, but I'm not the first one to fall into this trap apparently.
So yeah, this needs to be reorganized. Spoilers are not allowed in the character descriptions, they shouldn't be in the arrangement of the pages either (at least as much as possible).

The point I'm making isn't about which term is preferred, it's about the fact that Hashira is currently the official English term used in the official English translation of the manga (and, I think, the anime subtitles) and that the wiki, as a general rule, uses the official English terms and translations where applicable. There's been more than a few Ask The Tropers threads on it for other series, at any rate.
Also, a bit of a lighter fun: Kanao chasing Nezuko set to Super Mario World

New spoiler about UM 1:
- He confirm to be elder brother of the First Breath of the Sun user. He seem to upset that he became demon to not die due to the mark but his brother, who have the mark still live to his old age. their last duel end with the Breath of the Sun user slash his neck easily but die due to old age, so Koku never got any closer.
E.T technically is a Isekai movie![]()
I think it's just you. I don't think it's hard to remember Kensaburou and friends' names.

We are due for one more big shout in the next arc.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
