5 Surprising Things in Kimetsu no Yaiba: To the Swordsmith Village

Kimetsu no Yaiba: To the Swordsmith Village is the start of the third story, which will be released on April 9. 

Following the Entertainment District Arc, Tanjirou Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Tengen Uzui are seriously injured after fighting Upper Rank 6 demons, Gyutaro and Daki.

Before Tanjirou starts another mission, he travels to Swordsmith Village to get a new sword, which will be shown in the movie To the Swordsmith Village. 

Even though it is only the beginning of the Swordsmith Village Arc, this film has already presented surprises, for example the following five things.

1. The end of To the Swordsmith Village

When Mitsuri Kanroji was notified that his sword was ready, he said goodbye to Tanjirou Kamado. 

Before that, he had given Tanjirou interesting information about hidden weapons in Swordsmith Village that could make someone stronger.

Tanjirou and Nezuko Kamado also explore Swordsmith Village. 

When passing through the forest, he met Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, who was talking with village children. 

When her gaze shifted, she saw the man with the Nichirin sword and Hanafuda earrings, exactly the same as the mysterious man in her dream.

2. Revealing the identity of an Upper Rank 1 demon

When the Upper Rank demons, Jyougen, were summoned to Infinity Castle, it seemed that all were present, except for Upper Rank 1. 

However, Demon Biwa said that he had summoned Upper Rank 1, Kokushibou, who had been listening to the crimes they were committing all along.

It is here, Kokushibou's identity is revealed. 

Not only was his presence terrifying, the appearance he gave off was utterly familiar. 

He has long red-black hair and recognizable birthmarks on his chin and forehead.

3. Upper Rank 4 and 5 Devil's terrifying appearance

Most of the demons maintain a human-like appearance. 

However, there are some exceptions, however, they can use their power to change form or they may have taken so many human lives that their form changed.

Up until now, there had not been a demon that had a more terrifying appearance than an Upper Rank 4 and 5 devil. 

An Upper Rank 4 devil had a devil-like face, far from human in appearance, with large horns protruding from its head.

Even stranger, an Upper Rank 5 demon had eyes located in its mouth, a mouth located in its eyes, and small limbs all over its body. 

He lives in a decorative vase in a liquid state, like a snake. 

When he came out of the place he lived in, he would appear with a terrifying appearance that was truly shocking.

4. Genya and Sanemi Shinazugawa are siblings

So far, not much truth has been revealed about Genya Shinazugawa though he is expected to stick around to the end. 

He has a violent personality, in fact he is not approachable by anyone. 

He also never showed interest in the people around him.

When he appeared at the Swordsmith Village, Genya still showed a rude attitude. 

When Tanjirou Kamado and Mitsuri Kanroji talk about him, he is most likely Wind Hashira's younger brother, Sanemi, because he shares the same last name. 

Even so, it seems he is not close to Sanemi after a conflict occurred.

5. Upper Rank devils still have humanity

One of the interesting things that came out of Muzan Kibutsuji's conversation with the Upper Rank demons was a comment he made in passing. 

He was annoyed by Gyutaro's defeat so he reprimanded the remaining demons. 

He tells him that 'clinging' to Daki is Gyutaro's weakness.

Muzan informs that they all fall based on the number of humans left. 

From the reminder he threw out, it could be seen that Upper Rank demons had humanity. 

In other words, he was saying that Nezuko Kamado wasn't the only demon that could be saved if Upper Rank demons clung to their human side.

Kimetsu no Yaiba always presents surprising things, and the film To the Swordsmith Village is no exception.
