You may have seen the exciting announcement last week that Sega is bringing Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles in North America and Europe for the Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One on October 15th! Developed by the team at CyberConnect2, E Cronache Hinokami it’s an octagonal arena fighter that allows players to relive the memorable moments of “Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc” and “Mugen Train Arc”.
Before we get into our topic for today, let’s talk about the general plot of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Located during the Taisho Period in Japan, Tanjiro, a heartbroken boy who sells coal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon.
Unfortunately, her younger sister Nezuko, the only survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Even devastated by this sad reality, Tanjiro decides to become a “demon killer” so that he can turn his sister into a human and kill the demon that massacred his family.
Today, we will talk about three members of the Hashira (the highest ranked members of the Demon Slayer Corps) who are part of the playable list in The Hinokami Chronicles: Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho and Kyojuro Rengoku. And as a special bonus, we will also be showing Tanjiro Kamado (Hinokami Kagura)!
Giyu Tomioka
First, let’s talk about Giyu Tomioka, one of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps the Hashira Water, who uses “Water Breathing”. A quiet and stoic man, he is the one who recruited Tanjiro for the Demon Slayer Corps.
Shinobu Kocho
And then there’s Shinobu Kocho. One of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, the insect Hashira, who uses “Insect Respiration”. Whether he is a human or a demon, he maintains a polite demeanor without ever letting his smile fade.
Kyojuro Rengoku
Next, we have Kyojuro Rengoku. Yet another of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, is the Hashira Flame that uses “Flame Breath”. He is cheerful and eccentric, but never one to mince words.
Tanjiro Kamado (Hinokami Kagura)
Finally, there is Tanjiro Kamado (Hinokami Kagura). During the battle on Natagumo Mountain, Tanjiro remembers the memory of his father’s kagura dance and applies that movement to learn a new Breathing Style: “Hinokami Kagura”.
