To herself, in regards to Shinobu Kocho) " I wanted to protect her. I wanted to risk my life for her. I wanted to go home together." [16] The options for Kanao's surname were Kocho ( 胡 ( こ ) 蝶 ( ちょう ) , Kochō ?) (Kanae and Shinobu's last name), Kanzaki ( 神 ( かん ) 崎 ( ざき ) , Kanzaki ?) (Aoi's last name), Kuze ( 久 ( く ) 世 ( ぜ ) , Kuze ?), Motomiya ( 本 ( もと ) 宮 ( みや ) , Motomiya ?), and Tsuyuri ( 栗 ( つ ) 花 ( ゆ ) 落 ( り ) , Tsuyuri ?). Indomitable Will: Shinobu possesses an undaunted spirit and incredible willpower, mostly due to her unquenchable hatred for demons. Even with her inferiority complex brought about by her small size and weak physical strength, and despite losing so much blood to the point she couldn't stand and not being able to breathe. After remembering her promise to Kanao and hearing Kanae's words, Shinobu remained steadfast and stood up, a feat that surprised even Doma. The chain was durable enough that Kokushibo couldn’t cut through it and had to fight at close range. Considering that Kokushibo is the second most powerful demon alive, this is quite an accomplishment. It wasn’t until the final fight with Muzan that the chain of his weapon began breaking. However, it wasn’t without reward and Gyomei was one of the key factors in defeating him. The Swordsmith Village Arc Brings In Three New Allies And Two Upper Rank Kizuki

When Shinobu gave the paper having said names written on it to Kanae, the latter's face froze making an " Eh?!" sound. Butterfly Dance: Caprice ( 蝶 ( ちょう ) ノ 舞 ( まい ) 戯 ( たわむ ) れ , Chō no mai: Tawamure ?) [19] - The user leaps into the air and charges towards the opponent, stinging them multiple times with their blade to inject poison in just seemingly one strike. Although Shinobu wouldn't admit it, she was a natural airhead. The names she came up with for Kanao Tsuyuri were so bizarre that upon seeing them, Kanae broke down into such an "EH?!" expression that even Aoi Kanzaki wasn't able to smoothen things out. [31] Shinobu's younger self had a more brash, blunt and uncomplicated demeanor as seen when she and her sister rescued Kanao Tsuyuri, who she had a pointedly negative attitude towards raising. After the death of Kanae, however, Shinobu began to outwardly behave more like her sister and eventually developed her positive attitude and mannerisms to match while internally holding in her rage, which she later clarifies is fueled by her desire to continuously display the smile that her sister favored. Though never shown onscreen, Shinobu has a notable temper, namely in the way that makes even Inosuke Hashibira take notice.Kagaya Ubuyashiki · Amane Ubuyashiki · Hinaki Ubuyashiki · Nichika Ubuyashiki · Kiriya Ubuyashiki · Kuina Ubuyashiki · Kanata Ubuyashiki Muzan Kibutsuji · Nezuko Kamado · Tamayo · Yushiro · Chachamaru · Susamaru · Yahaba · Temple Demon · Hand Demon · Tongue Demon · Horned Demon · Swamp Demon · Serpent Demon · Spider Demon (Father) · Spider Demon (Mother) · Spider Demon (Son) · Spider Demon (Daughter) A pair of weapons that are fitting for the strongest Hashira.

Because Gyomei is blind, he uses the echoes of the chain to help him know the space and movements around him thanks to his acute sense of hearing.

With the Upper Ranks Kizuki appearing, the Hashira need to be properly prepared. Thankfully, they have their Nichirin weapons to help make the battle easier. Some wield the traditional katana while others have opted for modified versions or different weapons to better suit their fighting styles. Their namesake contains the kanji for "sun" ( 日 ( にち ) , nichi ?), "ring" ( 輪 ( りん ) , rin ?), which could translate to either "sun ring" or its most common meaning, "solar". In addition to the kanji for "sword/blade" ( 刀 ( とう ) , tō ?), the full translation to the Nichirin Sword is "solar blade".In addition, with a weight of 1500 grams, this katana is light and easy to handle, which will allow you to make fast and precise movements.

After the Demon Slayer reaches the rank of Hashira, their weapons will be engraved with the words " Destroyer of Demons" ( 惡 ( あっ ) 鬼 ( き ) 滅 ( めっ ) 殺 ( さつ ) , Akki Messatsu ?).

Introducing a meticulously crafted, full-tang handmade replica of Shinobu Kocho's Sword from the acclaimed anime and manga series, Demon Slayer. This sword embodies the elegance and fierceness of the Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho. It is perfect for fans, collectors, and cosplayers who seek an authentic, high-quality piece to showcase or use in their performance. Since Kanao couldn't do housework and nursing at the Butterfly Mansion like her colleagues, she opted to be a Demon Slayer. Without their knowledge, Kanao learned Flower Breathing by watching her sister Kanae. The ore used to forge the swords are likely based off of Hihiirokane ( 日 ( ひひ ) 光 ( いろ ) 金 ( かね ) , hihi'irokane ?), which literally means (Brilliant Scarlet Metal), a legendary metal of Japanese myth that shines brightly in a manner that it resembles flames or the sun. The metal is considered to be similar to other mythical ores such as Orichalcum of Greek and Roman myth, and as such is said to have had magical properties. Kanao is the Tsuguko of Kanae and Shinobu and has been personally trained by the both of them in the art of combat. As such, Kanao possesses superhuman physical skills, abilities and prowess that potentially marks her as a future member of Demon Slayer Corps' Hashira. Tanjiro, another promising candidate, even states that, during their first meeting together, he could already sense that Kanao was the closest to the Hashira out of the existing Demon Slayers, just by smelling her scent and feeling her aura, which further confirms her skills.
