Jujutsu Kaisen: Top 6 Strongest Jujutsu kaisen Characters, Number 3 is unavoidable!

Jujutsu kaisen is a must-watch anime packed with insanely strong characters, including Jujutsu Sorcerers and Courses. After I completed the first season of this anime, I thought of coming up with my list of the strongest characters in the series. My number 3 might come as a shock, but there’s just something about that character.

6/6

Itadori Yuji

This guy is the protagonist of the series as well as the least experienced shaman on the list. He has a decent personality, always believes he can save everyone and is also a glutton. He can be likened to the nature of the anime character Uzumaki Naruto. He doesn’t use cursed energy quite well but has a great deal of Superhuman strength. Itadori Yuji is also the vessel of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. It’s quite surprising that he could even put the special grade curse under control. He sure has a lot of potentials that we would be seeing as the story further unfolds.

5/6

Hanami

Best described as a cursed spirit portraying forests. It is important to know that cursed spirits are borne out of the clumped feelings of fear, anger, and pain in humans. As a special grade spirit, hanami is extremely powerful. He can withstand strong attacks from Jujutsu Sorcerers because of the “Ultimate Durability” feature he possesses. His powers let him control plants around him. It took the combined efforts of Todou and Itadori to weaken him in the series.

4/6

Mahito

This guy is an extremely powerful Special grade curse user. Idle Transfiguration, his cursed technique, enables him to change the shape of someone’s soul and control them as his subjects. Mahito says to Nanami during their first fight that a body is constantly wrapped around a soul.

Mahito can even modify the shape of his soul and develop a pair of wings, claws, and other accessories in a matter of seconds using this philosophy. He’s a truly fearsome opponent.

3/6

Suguru Geto

Looking at the first season of the series, Geto is for sure one hell of a shady guy. All he does is just talk and hasn’t displayed any bit of power. This certainly leaves us wondering what this guy is capable of. 

Second in strength among the four special grade shamans, Suguru Geto is a former Jujutsu High School student. As a teenager, Suguru attended the same high school as Satoru Gojo and Principal Masamichi Yaiga. Gojou Satoru, for example, has praised Geto for his strength and talents.

2/6

Gojou Satoru

Satoru Gojo believes that he is the strongest . While all of the other Jujutsu sorcerers have their unique curses, Gojou’s “Six Eyes” and “Limitless” seem to make him appear to be more powerful than all of them together.

He’s from one of the Three Great Shaman families, the Gojo clan. He is currently teaching the first-year shamans at Jujutsu High School. He has complete command of the atoms and the space surrounding him, and he possesses a vast store of the curse energy.

1/6

Ryomen Sukuna

As the series’ main villain, Ryomen Sukuna is the indisputable King of Curses. Because of his mastery of all poisons, he’s also known as the King of Poisons.

A powerful cursed spirit with two faces and four arms was defeated by the shamans of the Golden Age of Jujutsu Sorcery, giving him the moniker ‘Ryoumen Sukuna.’ Sukuna, on the other hand, easily overcame all of them.

Shamans couldn’t destroy Sukuna’s body, so they chopped all 20 of his fingers and trapped his powers in his hands to protect them.

However, until all 20 fingers of Itadori have been consumed, he can not attain full power. Unquestionably, Sukuna will have reached his full potential by the time this happens, which is something we eagerly await the arrival of.

HxH: Five Hunter X Hunter Characters That Are Yet To Display Their True Power

If you are a fan of the Hunter x Hunter anime series, you would agree that there was a lot of content that we did not get to watch. The anime series pretty much ended after the ant king was somewhat defeated by the President of the Hunter Association, Chairman Netero. However, as we were all expectant for more action and adventures, the series ended abruptly. I believe there’s a lot that we didn’t get to see. So, this write-up will contain detailed information on the most interesting characters that we didn’t get to see their full power on the hunter x hunter anime series. 

Killua Zoldyck

As one of the notable characters in the anime series with just as many hours of screen time as Gon, Killua seems to have lagged in power as the series was coming to an end. Although understandably, the Enhancer group of Nen users where Gon belongs are only second to specialists, Killua trained just as much as Gon, so we expected there would be much to see. However, we didn’t.

Although his Godspeed technique came in handy during the fight against the strongest of the Chimera Ant king’s royal guard Menthuthuyoupi, Gon’s power up during the battle with Neferpitou leaves Killua in the dust. While it is unlikely that Gon will be able to tap into this power again, it shows that he has potential. In my opinion, we need to see more of killua’s strength.

Hisoka Morow

Hisoka is one of the most loved characters in the anime series. Not for his strength or skill but his weird personality which wavers between a hero and a villain. Also, His obsession with Gon’s potential makes him an exciting character to watch.

It is undeniable that Hisoka is a strong men user even though he’s not at the same level as chairman Netero and the likes of them. However, it was evident in the series that this character never took any fight seriously. Yes, I know he has fought some strong characters; Hisoka never had to fight in a life or death situation. He easily got into the Phantom Troupe (although we didn’t get to see who he defeated) just because he wanted to fight the leader, Chrollo. 

Overall, he’s a cool character, but there’s still much more than we are yet to see from him in the series, or at least I hope so.

Zeno Zoldyck

Zeno is Killua’s mysterious grandpa. Although we got to see little of him when Killua returned home, his true power was displayed during the invasion of the Chimera Ants palace by Zeno and Chairman Netero.  

However, after almost killing Komugi, he lost his motivation for the attack and ended the contract with Netero. Although he claims that chairman Netero is way stronger and more experienced than he is, most anime fans consider both characters equals.

The invasion of the chimera ant palace is the maximum we got to see Zeno’s power. Since we have never got to see him in one-on-one combat, I must conclude that there is still much that he has to offer.

Ging Freecs

Rumored to be one of the strongest hunters in the world and the most qualified to take over as the chairman of the hunter association, Gons father, Ging, is undoubtedly an interesting character. After abandoning Gon during his early childhood, he went ahead to discover new ruins and seek crazy adventures. While we know that he is very good at hiding or rather disappearing, we have seen nothing of his true strength.

This character was preserved throughout the anime series. Even during the attacks by the chimera ants on the hunters, we saw nothing of Ging. I wonder where he was during this period? It is clear that the creators of the anime series are starving us of this character potential. So, he makes the list of interesting characters we didn’t get to see their potential on the hunter x hunter series.

Chrollo Lucifer

The mysterious leader of the phantom troupe, a criminal group with some of the strongest characters in the hunter x hunter anime series. While he held up nicely against the Zoldycks, Zeno realized that he wasn’t fighting seriously. 

This episode was mind-blowing because one of the beat assassins in the world, Zeno Zoldyck commended the strength of Chrollo. Although we must agree the Zoldycks were not fighting at full power, I think Chrollo has shown that he is worthy of being the leader of the phantom troupe but there’s still more we are yet to see. 

There are many characters who are yet to display there true power in the anime series, but I believe that these ate the ones that are most anticipated. The manga series has definitely provided more content in these characters, however, this write up is with regards to the anime series only. What are your thoughts on these characters?

Squid Game: The 3 Most Hated and 3 Most Loved Characters 

A lot of us must have seen the recently most talked about Netflix series ‘Squid Game’. It’s taking over as one of the most streamed Netflix Original shows and rightly so. The thrill it delivers from the beginning captures its viewers and the show manages to sustain its momentum till the end and leaves us in suspense and anticipation of the subsequent season.

 Those that haven’t yet seen the show should beware of the SPOILERS ahead. This article aims to see the most loved and most hated characters from the show.

Most Hated Characters

3. Han Mi-nyeo (212)

Han Mi-nyeo was an eventful character in the show. From her survival-inspired love affair with Deok-su to her tricks in the show, she sure makes an interesting character to watch.

On the negative side, Player 212 was a highly annoying, manipulative, and self-centered character as we could see from her screen time in the first season of Squid Game. She derived pleasure from being irritable to the other players and guards. Do you remember when she pointed out that Ali (199) was an illegal immigrant and suggested that the team should be restructured? The fact that she got past the tug-of-war game with the team didn’t cause her to stop being manipulative and narcissistic.

Furthermore, Han Mi-nyeo was a “pest”. She could bug other people in a bid to survive. For instance, she pestered and clung to Deok-su during the games and tried to convince other players to be her partner when she had no partner for the pebble game.

Her way of life didn’t go well for her in the end as Deok-su thought she couldn’t offer anything special. Then, her desire for him developed into hatred and eventually led her to kill herself along with him.

2. Jang Deok-su (101)

Deok-su is the main antagonist in the intoductory season of the series. He’s a character you would love to hate.

A former gangster,  he had a criminal history with Sae-byeok (Player 067). It may seem like he was the one who took her in as he explained in episode one, but their relationship grew sour and Sae-byeok ran away. He was surprised to see her in the game and didn’t hesitate to beat her to express his anger. Their little brawl continues throughout the first season of the show where they try to eliminate each other.

Some reasons people dislike the character include his bullying nature, maltreatment of women, self-centeredness, and the fact that he’s a brute murderous force.

Again, Deok-su instigated most fights in the show and was a character nobody wanted to be up against. He eventually met his demise in the hands of his supposed lover, Han Mi-nyeo, in the glass bridge.

1. Cho Sang-woo (Player 218) 

Sang-woo

Sang-woo is clearly the most hated character in the first season of Squid Game. Originally, he left the country for greener pastures, but it didn’t quite work out for him. The high expectations from his friends and family led him to dive into fraudulence after being plagued by his debts. He eventually joins the Squid Game to make enough money to settle his debts.

The first thing Sang-woo did that got us to frown in disgust was his failure to dissuade the protagonist Gi-hun (Player 456) from picking the umbrella shape in “The Man the Umbrella” episode (episode 2) though had known the implication of the game.

Similarly, he betrayed Ali (Player 199) by using his kindness and lack of intelligence against him. Though one might explain this act was a necessary evil, it doesn’t make us forgive Sang-woo for making Ali die in his stead.

Again,  Sang-woo got to the peak of his evil deeds when he finally killed Sae-byeok (Player 67), an injured defenseless woman, who was no threat to him. Let’s face it, this action was cruel to the core. Even Hitler may have spared Sae-byeok in that situation.

The 3 Most Loved Characters

3. Ali Abdul (Player 199)

Ali

 He definitely takes this spot. In the show, he was a Pakistani immigrant who came to South Korea seeking a better life. He was a factory worker whose boss withheld his pay. After leaving the game the first time, he confronted his stingy boss, which led to a struggle between both men. His boss ended up losing his fingers, while he made away with some money. 

Ali was an innocent man with the heart of an angel, the strength of a bull, and the brain of a child. Thus, it wasn’t difficult for the viewers of the show to fall in love with him.

His relationship with Sang-woo grew as the show went on until the bitter part where he was tricked by Sang-woo and ultimately eliminated. Additionally, his kind gesture of trying to save Sang-woo may be considered naive in the kill-or-be-killed game, still, it remains one of the reasons he’s one of the most loved characters in the show.

2. Ji-yeong (Player 240)

Ji-yeong

To be factual,  we know little of this character aside from the fact that she was once in prison for murdering her abusive father. We first took notice of her in the third game where a team of 10 was to be formed and Gi-hun’s team needed to recruit more members.

 Although Sang-woo was opposed to taking in more ladies, Sae-byeok ignored him and brought Ji-yeong seeing she had no teammates.

Her relationship with Sae-byeok developed shortly in the show, with Ji-yeong promising to do anything to make sure Sae-byeok wins the money. She literally gave her life up for Sae-byeok after deliberately throwing short in the pebble game, claiming Sae-byeok had better reasons to win the money.

1. Kang Sae-byeok (Player 067)

Sae-byeok

Am I the only one who thinks Sae-byeok was unnecessarily taken out? I mean what was the point of shattering the glass after the fifth game, the Bridge game. Sae-byeok was a good and lovable character who was unjustly taken out. Most of us wanted her to win the 45.6 billion Won with Gi-hun. However, the creators of the show didn’t share a similar feeling.

Sae-byeok had an impressive character development from the quiet, ever-frowning pickpocket to a fascinating main character who had the solid goal of reuniting her family with the prize money. Again, she developed a healthy friendship with the show’s lead role, Gi-hun, which brought her to the spotlight.

She had initially defected and emigrated from the North with her brother, leaving her mother behind. However, her brother was compelled to reside in an orphanage. Although she couldn’t carry out her plans by herself, she made Gi-hun vow to reclaim her brother from the orphanage. 

Lelouch vs Light: Battle of the wits. Who’s likely to outwit the other?

Probably one of the most argued comparisons in anime world, it talks about the intelligence of two smart characters of two very different animes. Lelouch vi Britannia, who is the protagonist and possible antihero of the anime series; Code Geass, and Yagami Light; the protagonist of Death note. If you’ve watched these two anime, you’ll likely be compelled to marvel at the brilliance and cunning of both characters in their attempt for “world peace”. So, who would likely be your pick for best wit? 

Lelouch Vi Britannia

Lelouch vi Britannia, a prince of Britannia fighting his father and empire from the shadows disguised as the hero; Zero with the Geass, given by CC which is the power to compel anyone of choice to do his bidding. Kinda cool right? He fights for his sister Nunnally, against his family members as we see in the anime for the elevens. Lost his Geass later on, betrayed by his friend, Suzaku, later got his Geass back, fought an entire army, and in the end, died in a villainous manner. Quite the sad ending for me though. Would have loved to see a third season.  

Yagami Light

Let’s see Yagami Light, the protagonist of Death note, an anime about books owned by death gods which enables it’s handler to determine the time and manner of death of anyone whose name is scribbled on its pages. Light is a student who became a police officer later on who possesses the death note owned by Ryuk, a death god who surprisingly likes apples. Light delivers his own version of justice by killing off criminals and anyone not up to society’s moral standards usually with a face and a name. Eventually suspected of this by the witty L, this makes Light consider the death god eyes Ryuk offers which he later rejects. Came across Misa-chan who aids him in his spree. Eventually he gets L killed. But is later discovered by Near who maybe too perfectly laid everything bare before everyone. 

My take

For me though, looking at both characters, I’ll pick Lelouch over Light. Lelouch seemed calm and collected, always weighing his options and using unexpected situations to his advantage like when he mistakenly compelled Euphemia to kill the elevens at the stadium. Now don’t get me wrong. both characters are kinda cool, but Lelouch is way cooler with his Geass, he has a goal which is liberating Japan even though it’s a front for getting back at his father, he utilizes his power and wit very well compared to Light who upon discovering about the death note begins killing off individuals with no compassion. 

Although both are for the most part killers, Light is also careless and overconfident albeit smart in the handling of his death note seen especially in the first few episodes when he unknowingly disclosed an important fact of the book; needing a name and face to execute the criminals. Both deserved the manner in which they died, but Light’s was way demeaning.

Another important fact is that Lelouch defeated Schneizel who was always a level above him compared to Light and his situation with Near who was surprisingly always a step ahead when he discovered Light. Looking at a one-on-one situation, Lelouch only needs to use his Geass on Light while keeping his Zero mask on while Light needs to write Lelouch’s name with an idea of his face which wouldn’t matter if Lelouch compelled him to kill himself. That’s what I think anyway. I know you probably love Light. Who do you say will prevail in a battle of intelligence? 

Money Heist: Three things that might happen in La Casa De Papel from volume 5 part 2 trailer


La casa de papel popularly known as money heist is a Spanish TV series on Netflix which started airing in December 2017. Yes, it’s been that long. The series has gained popularity over the years due to the non-stop action, romance, thrills and drama that comes along with it. In the first season, we see a group of criminals who we might say had no dream being brought together by a criminal mastermind called “the professor” to rob the royal mint bank of Spain.


These criminals have taken the names of various popular cities like Tokyo, Nairobi, Berlin, Denver and Rio, has become one of the people’s favourite characters as we get to see their different badass personalities along the line in the show. Although the series started all cool and easy with most things going according to plan for our favourite criminals, the Netflix show has taken a drastic turn due to unforeseen circumstances that have left the criminals fending for their lives in a deadly battle of survival between them and the police.


Lives have been lost along the line with most death being painful, and the fight for survival continues in the final season which has two parts. With the suspenseful end of the first part, we can only wonder what will happen in the second part which I must say may not be appealing to we fans from what we have seen so far. Shits will go down and there may be no happy ending for we money heist fans, so grab your tissue papers and brace yourself for impact. The greatest heist comes to end on December 3rd 2021 and here are three things I think may happen from the released trailer.


3/3
There may be no happy ending for Denver and Stockholm

People may wonder how romance can be involved in a heist movie. Well, money heist did it and did it well. From the various love affairs seen in the show, one of fans favourite couples Denver and Stockholm may likely come to an end in this upcoming part. The character Denver which has always been seen as a hot-blooded, dense, and the cool guy still had someone for him. The story behind him having a love life was beautiful to watch since he lost his father, Moscow, to the heist he got his romance. He was able to charm the beautiful Monica Gaztambide, a secretary in his first heist in the royal mint bank of Spain, who later joined him in the second heist in the bank of Spain as Stockholm with his funny laugh and dance moves.


As we can see in the final season, there are some tensions between them and in the just-released trailer for the second part, we see a scene where Stockholm confesses her love for Denver no matter the situation. This could be before a great sacrifice of our dear Stockholm or a death of our beloved Denver because I will think that the producers might do what they want to both characters thinking they have fulfilled their part in showing us the true extent of love they both have for each other. Sad for we viewers I must say, but all we can do is watch and see.


2/3


Our favourite Dali criminals may not end up escaping with the Gold


With recent activities going on in the final season, their will to live may take the better of them. Why won’t it I will say, as staying alive seems to be more important following the death of important characters so far. Surviving is the top priority and escaping with the gold if at all they can escape just doesn’t seem to be possible, to be frank. Such a scene wasn’t even shown in the trailer. Don’t expect much guys because you going to get heartbroken.


1/3


The professor is most likely going to come to an abrupt end


The professor as we know him is seen and proven to be one of the smartest characters in the show. One of his admirable qualities is his love for his team members as he is willing to die for them. This is why I feel the producers will have to kill the professor not even arrest him because he is most likely to come out of a difficult situation as seen in the show. With the dirty cops and government running the operations, this shouldn’t be too hard for them.


Following the death of Tokyo in the first part, we can see how down and heartbroken he is, having lost so much. We can also see in the trailer that he comes to the bank to help his gang, but what can he do in this difficult situation? We might say he is the professor, he will think of something and come through for us, but I believe the writers will use this as a perfect opportunity to kill our beloved professor. This is most likely to happen, and one thing I am certain of is that his death will live millions of fans in tears.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Can Gojou Satoru Defeat Ryomen Sukuna at full strength?

The Jujutsu Kaisen series has become better and better with each episode. Gojou Satoru displaying his super-speed and strength at the early part of the series. To Gojou, at the time , Sukuna wouldn’t have been able to defeat him in a one on one combat. This was, however, very insulting to, Ryomen Sukuna, the King of curses.

Let’s take it from this angle, Sukuna with his complete 20 fingers and full control over Itadori’s body, his vessel, Versus Gojou Satoru. Who do you think will come out victorious in a fight? I personally believe Gojou would be no match for Ryomen Sukuna at full strength. In this piece, we would be looking at how this fight may play out.

Sukuna Has Been a Formidable Force for Millenia

Even with 9 fingers, Sukuna is a force of nature. He seems to reveal more techniques and abilities when he has more fingers. His strength, speed, and reflexes also seem to be improving. We can assume that Sukuna will be much stronger at full power than during the Golden Age since his fingers, cursed objects of extraordinary goodness, have been absorbing cursed energy for 1000 years.

Both Characters Are Skilled in Combat and Seemingly Untouchable, but Sukuna Possesses Incredible Regenerative Abilities

Although Gojou shows superb skills in hand to hand to hand combat, I feel sukuna is slightly above him in physical action by roughly 10%. There’s a chance that Sukuna wouldn’t be able to hit Gojou due to “Infinity”. During Gojou’s Fight with Jogo, he easily brushed of Jogo’s meteor attack without breaking a sweat. Sukuna was also able to get past the red and purple hollow. While either of these two characters brushed the attacks off, Sukuna definitely has one of the best Regenerative abilities in the series.

Sukuna can dodge Gojou’s attacks while regenerating at the same time, and Gojou Limitless would be providing an endless supply of cursed energy. 

The outcome of this battle would hinge on his domain expansion techniques. Sukuna’s domain expansion is near perfect. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else. 

Sukuna Has Two Tremendous Special Techniques, Malevolent Shrine and Curse Editing Technique

To defeat the Malevolent Shrine of Sukuna, which was capable of engulfing a wide area of the Shibuya Arch environment, Gojou needs to use the infinite void. To make matters worse, Gojou’s infinity cannot be effectve within domains leaving him at the mercy of Sukuna’s cursed editing technique. Sukuna and Gojou appear to be evenly matched. However, Sukuna would be able to defeat Gojo, but with difficulty, at even 75% of his total strength.

Final Thoughts

It’s important to remember that each finger has an enormous impact on strength. Sukuna’s power would be significantly increased if the remaining five fingers were added. 

Sukuna’s rebirth was likewise far more powerful than it had been during the Heian period. He may be invincible if he reincarnated and escaped Yuji’s human body’s restrictions. Sukuna, despite Gojo’s cursed technique, has all of her fingers intact.

With no trump card in his arsenal, Gojo is unlikely to defeat Sukuna with all his strength. Sukuna’s strength is far greater than he admits! Sukuna is more powerful than Gojo when he is at his peak. Even though Gojo appears to be more powerful than Sukuna, they are practically equal in strength! With an increasing number of fingers at his disposal, Sukuna would be sure able to defeat Gojo.

Demon Slayer: 3 Reasons Why Kyojuro Rengoku’s Death Was Painful, Yet Necessary

The Demon Slayer Movie: Mugen Train which was released in October 2020 saw one of the legendary Hashiras being killed in a fight against one of the upper fives. Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, was involved in an intense battle against Akaza, the Upper Moon 3 of demon leader Muzan’s demonic horde. Though Rengoku gave his all during his fierce encounter with Akaza, he was not able to eliminate the demon. Kyojuro died from his severe battle injuries leaving the younger demon slayers, Tanjiro and Inosuke in tears and grief.

3/3

It Was a Tremendous Means to Introduce an Upper Moon Demon

During the introductory season of the anime show, we got to see the strength and abilities of various Lower Moon demons. We also realized that the Hashiras were a great force to be reckoned with after watching some intense actions of Hashiras, such as Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, and Kyojuro Rengoku.

Still, we didn’t really know the implication of the Upper Moon demon category. Of course, the demons had to be way stronger than Rui the formidable Lower Moon 5 or the show would’ve been considered sloppy. So, the creators of the show didn’t mind killing off a powerful Hashira to prove that battling the Upper Moon demons isn’t just a stroll in the park. Poor Rengoku!

2/2

His Death Was Needed to Motivate Tanjiro, Inosuke, And Zenitsu To Train Harder

Before Kyojuro Rengoku’s painful demise, the younger demon slayers were training at a relatively sluggish pace. While Tanjiro was inspired to kill Muzan as a revenge against killing his mother and siblings, Inosuke and Zenitsu had less tangible reasons to train as demon slayers.

However, as Tanjiro and Inosuke witnessed Kyojuro Rengoku’s heroic death, they realized they had to put in more effort to become better demon slayers. Zenitsu also learns that he can’t climb to the position of a Hashira by being weak and lazy. Thus, Kyojuro’s death was significant.

1/3

It Paved a Way For Tanjiro to Learn About His Innate Sun Breathing Ability

Though Tanjiro primarily made use of the water technique in the first season of the anime series, the show’s second season makes us understand that the Sun Breathing technique, which is apparently the most powerful breathing technique and source of other breathing techniques, is Tanjiro’s innate ability. His father utilized this breathing technique to perform the Hinokami Kagura dance. 

Tanjiro only became aware of his innate ability when he visited the Rengokus’ family home after Kyojuro’s death. In an unconventional way, the makers of the show may have felt the need to kill off Kyojuro to lure Tanjiro to Kyojuro’s father, who knew about his hidden ability and subsequently revealed it to Tanjiro. What other way could Tanjiro have met Kyojuro’s dad?

Hence, Kyojuro Rengoku sadly needed to die to allow Tanjiro discover and reach his full potential to defeat Muzan.

1/3

It Paved Way For Tanjiro To Become The Fire Hashira

Though Tanjiro primarily made use of the water technique in the first season of the anime series, the movie Mugen Train makes us understand that the fire technique is Tanjiro’s innate ability. His father utilized this power to perform the Hinokami Kagura dance. 

Again, there could either be a Flame or Fire Hashira, not both. Since Rengoku was already the Flame Hashira, his continuous presence in the show would have impeded the protagonist, Kamado Tanjiro, from becoming the Fire Hashira.

Hence, Rengoku sadly needed to die to allow Tanjiro to reach his full potential and defeat Muzan.
