Kimetsu no Yaiba, popularly known as Demon Slayer, made some advancements regarding the upcoming season of the anime last month. The latest news is that the first promotional reel of Season 4, the Hashira Training arc, will be released next month. This news was confirmed by the official Japanese X (Formerly Twitter) account. The X account also asked audiences to “please wait for further details,” leaving fans anticipating further news.
However, just prior to the release of any updates about the upcoming season, the subreddit of Demon Slayer has posted images of what the Hashira would look like reimagined as Upper Moon Demons. This includes all the Hashira, even Rengoku, who unfortunately couldn’t continue his journey beyond the Mugen Train Arc.
Rengoku’s Fan Art as an Upper Moon Demon
Rengoku was a very engaging character, and fans grew to love him as the story in the Mugen Train Arc progressed. The Flame Hashira proved himself to be a force to reckon with as his battle with Akaza was unveiled.
His death was impactful and heavy on the fans and our protagonists since Rengoku almost started to lead Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke as their brother figure in the series. Even in the last moment of his dear life, he went down with a smile.
