The anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is based on the popular manga by Koyoharu Gotouge. The "Hashira Training Arc", which depicts the Hashira training for the final battle with the demon's progenitor, Kibutsuji Muzan, aired its final episode on June 30th, and it was announced that the new anime "Infinity Castle Arc" will be produced as a trilogy of films. The final episode of the "Hashira Training Arc" became a hot topic due to its shocking development, in which the final battle between Demon Slaying Corps and Muzan begins. We will explain the "three shocks" of the final episode.

◇Shock 1: The Master’s desperate "Ubuyashiki Bomber" Even Muzan is shocked “That wicked guy!”
In the final episode "The Hashira Unite", Muzan meets the head of Demon Slaying Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, also known as the Master. Ubuyashiki and Muzan were originally of the same bloodline, and the Ubuyashiki family formed Demon Slaying Corps to defeat the demons that had been born from their clan, and have been pursuing Muzan for 1,000 years.
When Muzan came to kill him, Ubuyashiki told him, "You are dreaming of eternity," and "Your dreams will never come true, Muzan," and explained the "strength of human feelings," saying, "Eternity is a human dream. Human feelings are what are eternal and immortal." The moment Muzan was about to kill Ubuyashiki, the Ubuyashiki mansion exploded. In order to defeat Muzan, Ubuyashiki blew up the mansion with a large amount of explosives, taking his wife and children with him. The explosion of the Ubuyashiki mansion depicted in the anime was so powerful that "Ubuyashiki Bomber" immediately trended during the broadcast and became a hot topic.
The extent of Ubuyashiki Bomber's shock can also be seen from Muzan's comments. Muzan, who has been killing humans for 1000 years without any remorse, was shocked and said, "That man is completely insane!" "He used himself as bait, that cunning!" "It's amazing that he was able to hide such murderous intent at such a young age." He even went so far as to ask, "Did his wife and child know about it?", a thought uncharacteristic of the cruel Muzan.
◇Shocking 2: Tamayo 's surprise attack Muzan is attacked by Kekkijutsu of "the person who turned him into a demon in Asakusa"
As the shockwaves of the Ubuyashiki Mansion explosion continue, Muzan is suddenly attacked by Kekkijutsu of Thorns. With his body pinned down by the thorns, the next moment, the demon Tamayo stabs him in the stomach with her arm. In the first episode of the "Hashira Training Arc," the Master's Kasugai Crows visits Tamayo and asks her to cooperate with Demon Slaying Corps. It seems likely that Tamayo had been preparing for this moment.
Tamayo reveals to Muzan that the Thorn Kekkijutsu belongs to the person you turned into a demon in Asakusa. Muzan, who first appeared in "Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc," encountered Tanjiro Kamado in Asakusa, where he killed people in the town and turned a man into a demon. After the incident in Asakusa, Tamayo had protected the man who had been turned into a demon. Muzan didn't seem to remember, but his past sins came back to haunt him.
While Muzan was being held captive, Tamayo had him absorb her fist. Inside the fist was a drug that turns demons back into humans. When Muzan said, "There's no way you can make something like that!", Tamayo replied, "I've finished it. The situation has changed a lot. I couldn't have done it with just my strength." With the cooperation of Demon Slaying Corps the drug was completed, and Tamayo who seems to have a deep connection with Muzan, made her first move to defeat him.
◇Shock 3: The Hashira Unite The Power of Stone Breathing
After Ubuyashiki Bomber and Tamayo 's surprise attack, Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira who is said to be the strongest Demon Slaying Corps, appeared before Muzan. Ubuyashiki told Himejima, "Muzan will come within five days," and "Use me as a decoy to take Muzan's head." Himejima, who was told, "I can only ask you," blew off Muzan's head with a special Nichirin sword like an iron ball, while shedding tears. This was the first time that Himejima's battle scene was depicted in the anime, and the incredible destructive power of his Rock Breathing was unveiled.
Afterwards, Tanjiro and the other Hashiras, Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka, Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho, Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji Kanroji, Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro, and Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa, gathered together. The scene where they all tried to unleash the Breath of Total Concentration on their nemesis Muzan was overwhelmingly powerful.
However, at the moment Muzan was attacked by Demon Slaying Corps, the Infinity Castle suddenly appeared, and the Hashiras, Tanjiro, and the corps members fell one by one. Tanjiro declared to Muzan, "I will definitely defeat you!! Muzan Kibutsuji!!" and the final episode came to a close.
In the final episode, it was revealed that Muzan's head regenerated immediately after being blown off by Himejima, and unlike other demons, he does not die even if his head is cut off. Ubuyashiki also predicted, "I think that the only thing that can destroy Muzan is sunlight," and "It will be a protracted battle until the sun rises." The "Infinity Castle Arc" finally depicts the final battle between Muzan and Demon Slaying Corps. It will be interesting to see what kind of fierce battle awaits.
