Even if an Upper Rank demon suddenly appears from behind a sliding door, a genius swordsman will react immediately! In episode 3 of the anime ” Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc,” “Mist Pillar” Tokito Muichiro (CV: Kawanishi Kengo) shows superhuman speed when dealing with the demon.
In the third episode of the “Swordsmith Village Arc,” Muichiro and Tanjiro Kamado (voiced by Natsuki Hanae ) were chatting happily in their room when a sliding door slid open and a crying Hantengu (voiced by Toshio Furukawa), Upper Rank Four, appeared. While Tanjiro was confused and asked, “What, is he a demon?”, Muichiro quickly drew his sword and unleashed the “Fourth Form: Convection Slash” of the Mist Breathing Technique in one fluid movement.
Muichiro’s actions in instantly dealing with the demon drew a stream of praise, with comments such as, “Just as you’d expect from a Pillar, his initiative is extraordinary,” and “Mui-kun is so cool.”
