About

Demon Slayer Corps: An organization that has been exterminating demons since Muzan first transformed into one, continuing through the Taisho era. It is a private organization founded and operated by the Ubuyashiki clan, with the head of the clan serving as its leader for generations. However, the identity of the leader is kept secret from the public, and by the current era, the organization has been largely forgotten by all but a few elderly people. As it is not officially recognized by the government, it is technically an unauthorized, illegal organization. Nichirin Sword: Because demons possess transcendental regenerative powers, ordinary weapons can only temporarily incapacitate them. They die when exposed to sunlight, but due to this weakness, they only operate at night. The Nichirin Sword is the only weapon effective against these demons. It is imbued with the power of the sun, and decapitating a demon at the neck with one will kill them. When a demon is executed this way, their body crumbles into burning ash. Hashira: The pillars who support the Demon Slayer Corps. There are nine Hashira: Flame, Wind, Water, Stone, Mist, Insect, Love, Serpent, and Sound. While other members die at a terrifying rate, these individuals are different. +) Other members address them with high respect. e.g., Lord Kyojuro.
