In the first episode, at the Hashira Meeting, Kanroji explains how the bruises that appear on the body of Demon Slaying Corps members when they are "awakened". Kanroji recalls the time when the bruises appeared during the battle in the "Swordsmith Village Arc", and tries to explain with great excitement, "It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! My heart is pounding and my ears are ringing! It's cracking and cracking!"
Everyone was stunned by Kanroji's explanation, which was full of onomatopoeia. The Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa Shinazugawa, said "Ahh?" with an irritated expression, while the Serpent Pillar, Obanai Iguro, held his head and said "Ugh...". In the first episode, Tanjiro Kamado, who first had the birthmark, was shown explaining how it manifested, saying "It was like this, like a 'guwaaa, gaaa' sound," and it was revealed that Kanroji was also a "Tanjiro type". On social media, comments such as "Kanroji is too cute!" and "That's funny" were made.
The "Hashira Training Arc" is broadcast every Sunday at 11:15 pm on Fuji TV.
