The very same thing was implied with Rui. He apologized to his parents in death, saying he cant go where they went, and they make it seem like they get to stay together, and it seems all demons go to hell.
@@kenkr9449 yes like most demons have been brainwashed by muzan to forget theyr past and theyr humanity so they will not fight back and will be useful to him
Tanjiro basically reseted Akaza to when he was still human, the decapitated head had been altered while the head that grew was the one that contains all his memories
And the funny thing is, this is a formula demon slayer theyve been using in demon slayer for every. Single. Fight. So it seems that only through the experience of true death can a demon remember it's past.
@@QuackersExpress cause kokushibo always remember the man who whooped his ass, he stated that he never indeed forget the shame that yoriichi did to him.
Idk about the new head having memories thing, Its definitely closer to life flashing before eyes. Didnt happen during rengoku fight cause plot convenience
Akaza didn't choose to be a demon. When Akaza was human and Muzan came to offer becoming a demon to Akaza, Akaza simply said "f*ck off" to Muzan. Muzan had to forcefully turn Akaza into a demon. So he didn't really throw his life away
Hakuji was confronted by Muzan after killing around 60 odd people, Muzan thinking it was demon who did it. Muzan saw merit in his abilities, so when Hakuji attacked him, he stuck his hand in his head, asking if he will become a demon. Hakuji said something along the lines of ‘Go ahead, I don’t really care what happens anymore’ and thus becoming Akaza.
@@robbiestafford6889 yeah but the reason why Hakuji attacked those people was bcuz those 60 people went to a dojo. One of those 60 people poisoned a well where Hakuji's fiancé and father in-law were drinking out of bcuz he was jealous Hakuji got to marry her and he didnt
@@metadmbe02his bda is still connected to the root of his soryu style martial arts. His bda just enhances the forms to do more damage or some explosive shits.
@@metadmbe02SPOILER: His bda is compass needle which is quite powerful. It acts like a compass magnet which seek someone battle spirit or willpower automatically unless you have selfless state. No wonder rengoku lost because he always has battle spirit or willpower as you can see him always has enthusiasm. Even a crying baby has a willpower. Person who can defeat akaza only yoriichi, tanjiro, tanjiro's father and also douma (he has no emotion) kokushibo (he has selfless state and transparent world)
In the manga after getting decapitated, Akaza's lover appears pulling at his arm telling him it's okay to stop. Akaza replies "No, not yet, I have to be stronger" "But why? Why is it that you have to be stronger? "I have to get stronger so my dad can get his medicine, I have to be stronger so I can get away with stealing, I have to be stronger to protect the ones I cherish". Those panels are among some of my many favorites (even above some of my favorite fight panels) and I don't think I'll be able to handle seeing it animated.
@@sillycons370she prolly wanted to be with akaza seeing that he was a demon she prolly asked God to swnd her to hell with akaza when he dies as a demon
The man protected and avenged his loved ones and then had his memories taken by the king of demons. He was a tool used by Muzan, a victim like anyone else. He absolutely deserves to be reincarnated with his family (dad, master & wife).
And give the universe another chance to constantly shit down his throat like it did in his first life? Naw man, let Akaza enjoy the afterlife with his loved ones, don't give whatever deity that decided to make his life hell a chance to run it back
It was truly a remarkable thing to see Akaza evolving, regaining his memories, and then letting himself die. He wanted to be with Koyuki. He DESERVED it. Muzan had to remove her memory to make use of the broken pieces of Hakuji.
Akaza has never devoured innocent women or children as a demon either. He only sought out strong opponents to fight and would devour them if they lost. Respect 👊
This is why I love that Tanjiro emphasizes time after time that demons are tragic characters. There may be some that are more evil than others but many are simply a response to suffering that was then exploited by Muzan.
It’s crazy how the hashira’s are weak compared to the upper moon individually but still managed to push muzan back now imagine if the demons tried they would of lowkey won
Not all the upper moons. The lower upper moons are cooked by single hashiras. The top three require extremely powerful last arc Hashiras with all abilities unlocked to win against. And Muzan lost through a combination of an ultimate poison to counter his biological strength, the entire demon slayer corps as fodder for the Hashira and stronger slayers, Tamayo to distract and stun Muzan, the support guys to drag Muzan into the sun, and Tanjiro himself, who held Muzan down with a single arm, supported by Giyu, as Muzan died. Even then, almost everyone died. It was a fight solely for the sake of ending Muzan, regardless of whether or not they survived.
well probably XDD again japanese hell is not eternal is just a place for redemtion, and the stay can be shorten if some deitiy want to intervine for the era i should say is that hell and not shinto hell, even that hell is not eternal
Didn't he say he's killed many hashira but never a flame one of rengoku caliber? Yea I think he don't deserve to reincarnate when he's killed many hashira
@@HeroHansel321More like enjoy plot armor of every good character upper moon should absolute destroy hashira but plot armor is one of the strongest thing in fiction
@@jaredroy7315 well given the seasons so far have been late winter/spring releases i'm betting on a spring or summer 2024 release but they might want more time so either late 2024 or mid 2025 is my best bet
Ocean levels in japan are gonna rise when ufotable animators work on this entire fight. Gomna take years to animate, theyre probably working on it now.
Imagine being one of 67 people who had katanas and completely outnumbered Akaza and yet gets clapped by a guy who isn't even armed that's so embarrassing.
@@Re_Bannatothey were ordered to do so by their master, Akaza was following Muzans orders when he devoured so many innocent man to become an upper rank, I dint see how he can avoid guilt while they can’t (plus he did kill all of them with his bare hands for revenge so…🤷🏻)
Akaza’s back story was the best bro, him saying he has to get stronger so he can bring the medicine back to his sick dad made my heart break but showed that he had a resolve so deeply embedded into him that it Transcended his own Humanity being his only drive while not knowing of the bud of human memories that tanjiro was able to not only nurture and eventually made fully bloom into the beautiful beast once again named, Hakuji Soyama. RIP
The fact that Koyuki is supposed to be an angel but chose to be in hell for her husband show how strong they're relationship is strong that even Yoriichi can't beat
I am Japanese. I think it would be even more sad if I knew the meaning of the name. Hakuji uses the same kanji as shrine guardian dogs. It means that there is someone to protect. Akaza has the meaning of ``a dog that has lost its place'' and ``a useless guardian dog.'' It represents that Akaza was a worthless person who was unable to fulfill his mission to protect the people he cared about, and because of that, he lost everything.
@@suprabhatkumar1608 he 100% can keep going if he wish to as implying his body was still fighting and head was regenerate back to his body. He simply want to give up
@@gosukuma9369 nope he can't, when he started regenerating his head all those memories began to update and that was his life flashbacks before his eyes.
@@suprabhatkumar1608 It was Akaza's sheer willpower that allowed him to keep regenerating and he would've kept fighting if he hadn't lost the will to fight anymore after remembering all of his loved ones with his wife being the final nail in the coffin.
@@CalebVela682 so you couldn't understand it properly, when akaza started regenerating his head all those memories began to update and that was his life flashbacks before his eyes.
Yeah but after Kokushibo evolved, he surpassed even an evolved Akaza, I mean they have the same thing, they both want to be stronger, evolved Koku is stronger than evolved Akaza, but the battle would be endless because they basically surpassed Muzan's durability a.k.a. both are damn immortals at the time
💀💀 Tanjiro ain't surpassing upm 1 and 2💀 Make Tanjiro 1v1 Kokushibo and Kokushibo will go all out and instantly speedblitz Tanjiro before he can even breathe 💀because he has the earring
Akaza is my favorite character. He became my favorite when we learned of his back story, and when we watched him struggle to die but finally give in for his love.
Akaza was TRULY broken when Muzan turned him. I mean, he lost EVERYTHING, and had nothing to live for anymore. Muzan stripped away all of his memories and only left this SHELL of a person. He couldn't even remember why he wanted to be strong in the first place. I think what makes Muzan truly evil is how every one of his demons is just a means to an end. something to be used up and then discarded. Akaza remembering his like as Hakuji, and his fiance, Koyuki, SET HIM FREE.
Actually, he was higher than Muzan. Muzan had 4 cores that needed to be destroyed. Muzan started dying when they were destroyed. Akaza only had one, his head, which end up destroyed when cut. His body was surviving without any core.
It would've been cool to actually see a demon go through with the transformation and go full monster mode. Imagine how powerful kokushibo could've been
My bro akaza. In his human body he massacred a whole fucking dojo. Then Muzan came to the scene cuz he didn't remember dispatching a demon to the area of the dojo. Then Muzan forcefully turned Akaza into a demon. The only reason Tanjiro and Giyuu won the battle is Akaza himself. He's a fucking man. He admitted defeat, even if that defeat means death. Had Akaza been like any other demon, which would do anything they could to not get killed, he would've let his body regenerate the head and beat Tanjiro and Giyuu (although if he did regenerate his head and continue on fighting, maybe some sort of plot armour would come and still make those two win). What a demon. Definitely my favorite.
Akaza trying to be stronger is him constantly trying to fill the void that Koyuki's memory left behind. Muzan couldnt rip her out completely though. Akaza still never ate a woman in his entire century as a demon. He saw a bit of Koyuki in all of them.
Love that you pointed this out it also shows through his blood demon art his compass needle is based on her hair pin that looks like a snowflake ❄️ he couldn’t completely take her away even with his memories gone ❤ can’t wait to see this animated
Since Douma didn’t care about his past he would be the perfect Demon. He would not have nothing left behind to make him weak. He would be even better than Muzan.
@jYUZOWiDZSKY to be fair, Shinobu literally ate wisteria poison until it was so potent in her body that it would even affect muzan in some sort of way. Her whole plan was to get eaten anyways
@jYUZOWiDZSKY very true, and to be honest if he did then there was nothing inosuke and kanao could do. They probably would've been instanly killed and that wasnt the authors plan
@jYUZOWiDZSKY that’s kinda the point of storytelling 💀. That’s like saying they should have a big fight first and the weaker one in power loses. Y’all literally think in black and white 😭
Akaza evolved into the only thing mightier than a demon......He became human, and that's the pinacol of power. Let's be real, ain't no better way for our fist fighting menace to have gone out.
The Upper 3 moons cannot be killed by blades, the only thing that can kill them is sun. So they are practically invincible and that’s why Muzan dedicated his whole life to conquer sun.
Akaza can be killed if you continue to attack his body while he was in the middle of regeneration, since the only reason why he survived death is because he manage to stop the bleeding from his neck wound using his skin. Tanjiro and giyu didn't manage to stop akaza's regeneration because they're both exhausted at that moment, but if gyomei and akaza face off, gyomei will literally behead akaza and if akaza didn't die, gyomei will continue to swung his both weapons to akaza's body so he will not be able to regenerate his head back. Enough with the bullshit you telling that the sunlight is only way to kill the uppermoon 3
There is also another way by destroying the demon to bits cell to cell hence no regeneration which yorichi almost did to muzan no demon is fully immortal
It's amazing how many characters are shown to choose damnation out of love and kindness, perhaps their is redemption and peace somewhere along the line for them we may never know
There are lots of comments saying a lots of stuff all i will say is akaza and rengoku should be reincarnated as bros or friends. That really would be whole some
Akaza really didn't deserve to go to Hell. The poor guy had everything taken away from him Twice despite him trying everything he could to be a relatively good person and was then turned into a demon against his will. If any Demon deserved to be reincarnated and live a happy live it's him.
I believe hell is depicted differently in Demon Slayer world. Not sure which religion it's inspired from, but basically hell in Demon Slayer is a place to wash off your sins and then go to heaven after.
@@neofulcrum5013 but rui has killed a lot of people too tho, one of his last lines are ¨I've killed so many people tho, father and mother i can't go to the same place as you can i?¨
@@dynamightq I’m guessing it’s the same situation with Daki. Rui from what I remember was ill and didn’t want to die right there so took the offer naturally. But then again I don’t know what the mangaka is thinking
The comparison between light and dark in that anime is something special! Note that demons (dark) have no feelings of love and when they got cut or feel who they were/what they become they just vanish
Thanks...... for making me cry...not in a bad way... seriously...... I never wanted him to die...he deserves better.....why don't people understand that demons could be good
It's really sad how she could have gone and reincarnated to be born again. But she ended up waiting for her husband to go with him to the afterlife. 😭😭😭😭😭
He would be stronger than Muzan, 'cause Muzan never really conquered beheading, he just gave himself many brains so that even if you cut off his head he wouldn't die Akaza and, in some way, Kokushibo, were the only ones that managed this feat
Though I would argue, (and its hard to say for sure because we never see it) almost certainly Muzan had the better long fight strategy there- it could very well be that being beheaded messed with Akaza and Kokushibos minds much more than it did Muzans and shook them because it cut off their demon essence
Bruh the only reason why akaza didn't die from beheading is because he manage to stop the bleeding from his neck wound, he stop it after he uses his skin to sealed on it, that's the reason why he survived death, but if you continue to attack him while he's in the middle of regeneration, he will be killed. Giyu and tanjiro didn't manage to stop the regeneration of akaza because they're both exhausted at that moment. You're all unbelievable to think that akaza is stronger than muzan lmao 😂 Gyomei is the only hashira who can clapped your boy "akaza"". He will behead akaza easily and if akaza didn't die gyomei will continue to swing his both weapons to akaza's body until he crumbles away.
@patrick6219 You Gyomei fans seem to forget that even though he is very strong, he is still an human, even if Akaza got decapitated he would just keep fighting without his head. That just shows how far Akaza's willpower really is.
