The Hashira Training Arc of Demon Slayer’s fourth season is presently airing. Fans may infer from the title alone that the Hashira, the strongest demon slayers, would be a major theme of this season, and they were spot on.
The narrative now centers on the Hashira, who are still members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and their efforts to teach and prepare the normal cadets for the impending battle with Muzan, the demon commander.
However, one aspect of the Demon Slayer Corps has changed significantly this season: the Hashira. Kagaya Ubuyashiki, a mystery guy, was always in charge of the Hashira. It was clear that something was wrong with him from the moment he made his anime debut in Episode 5 (albeit we did not see him in his entirety until Episode 22).
As Kagaya’s screen time increased, it became increasingly apparent. However, Kagaya becomes too ill to continue leading the Demon Slayer Corps in the Hashira Training Arc. What precisely is wrong with him, though?
What Illness Does the Demon Slayer Master Have?
Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki is only 23 years old, she appears considerably older. This is because his skin has odd marks. The majority of his face was already covered with marks when he was initially shown in Demon Slayer, extending from his forehead to his nose.
His vision has been clouded by the rough, scaly, purple marks. The marks had extended from his forehead to a large portion of his face and the rest of his body by the time of the Hashira Training Arc. Due to his condition, he is shown in bed and covered in bandages.
However, Kagaya appears as an adolescent in flashbacks before the tattoos covered so much of his face. This displays only his right eye’s original purple mark, which was caused by a demon’s curse.
Although the curse mark is initially minor, it gradually expands from Kagaya’s right eye to finally cover his entire body, giving his skin a rotting aspect as he ages. He will eventually die from the strength of the curse mark, which has already made it impossible for him to move by the Hashira Training Arc and, as a result, no longer be able to command the Demon Slayer Corps.
The Curse of the Ubuyashiki Family
Kagaya Ubuyashiki is not surprised by his fate because it is a curse that has been passed down through the generations among all the men in his family. One thousand years before Demon Slayer’s time, Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King, was descended from the Ubuyashiki dynasty.
The Ubuyashiki family was cursed for introducing the first demon into the world because Muzan is the source of all other demons. All boys die before the age of thirty due to this curse, which is genetically transmitted through the family as a curse mark. The only way for girls to avoid it is to change their names and be married by the age of 13.
The Ubuyashiki family has been in charge of the Demon Slayer Corps as a result of their feeling of duty. It also explains why Kagaya has put in so much effort to make the Hashira into the formidable warriors they are.
He must be rigorous with their training during his brief stay because he is aware that he won’t be staying for long. His partner, Amane Ubuyashiki, now speaks to Hashira and the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps on his behalf because he is bedridden and blind.
She also serves as Kagaya’s principal caregiver, making every effort to ensure his comfort right up to the end.
Despite his lifelong death from the devils’ curse, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has achieved a great deal. With the Hashira, he produced the most formidable force the Demon Slayer Corps has ever encountered, one that can now defeat even the most formidable demon armies in Muzan.
Even though Nezuko was a demon herself, he still embraced Tanjiro and Nezuko. Even though they share a bloodline, his intense animosity for Muzan has propelled him thus far and keeps him and the task he started even as he lies dying.
