Kugisaki will do what it takes, no matter the cost, and that would translate well with her being the Wind Hashira. Eso used his Decay technique in an attempt to end her life, only for Kugisaki to drive nails through her own arm using her Resonance technique to cause Eso and his brother so much pain that Decay is released. Kugisaki showed similar self-sacrifice when she became poisoned with Eso’s blood. Sanemi possesses a rare blood type that demons crave, so he’ll inflict injury on himself to lure them out, then use his devastating Wind Breathing technique to inflict his punishment. Neither of them maintains any notion of self-preservation when the time comes to get the job done. Kugisaki is mostly unlike Sanemi Shinazugawa when it comes to temperament, but they share one feature that defines their fighting styles and the way they live their lives: their willingness to sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. If the Serpent Hashira has to be a tortured introvert with massive power and a hint of kindness buried under a dark exterior, Fushiguro has us covered. Each is plagued by their past and their family, and seeks to leave behind a better legacy than they were born into. They have little outward empathy or consideration, but are highly motivated by the desire to do the right thing (Fushiguro was a terror to school bullies even without any jujutsu abilities). Each holds himself and those around him to a very high standard.
Iguro and Fushiguro have more similarities than just their names. It stands to reason that he would master Serpent Breathing, which was actually created by the real Serpent Hashira, Obani Iguro. These shikigami include dogs, frogs, an owl, an elephant, and even a serpent. Fushiguro uses Cursed Energy for his Ten Shadows Technique, which summons various animal companions (called shikigami) to help aid him in battle. This one has a pretty obvious connection, but that doesn’t make it any less valid. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead.” Megumi Fushiguro – “Go ahead and live with your head held high! No matter how devastated you may be by your own weakness or uselessness, set your heart ablaze. It’s easy to see him living the advice Kyojuro gives Tanjiro: It’s about heart, and Yuji has it in abundance. While this isn’t requisite for a Flame Hashira, it is a feature that he shares with Kyojuro. Yuji is prepared to sacrifice himself to save others, being fixated on the idea of dying well. If he’s pushed far enough, we see just how intensely he feels this compassion and responsibility-like when one of his close friends is used and killed by a cursed spirit. Yuji feels a great sense of compassion and responsibility for those around him, and greatly emphasizes the value of human life. With that difference it’s tough to justify Yuji as the Flame Hashira, but it’s how he and Kyojuro are similar that seals the deal-each feels the strong compulsion and obligation to help those who are weak or powerless, and each is willing to take that obligation to the furthest extremes. On the other hand, Kyojuro approaches everything with passion and intensity, whether that’s slaying demons or eating dozens of boxes of bento. In fact, the only reason he ends up cursed in the first place is because he joined a club at school that would require the least work and commitment. He doesn’t apply himself with extracurricular activities despite his exceptional innate abilities. He’s quick with a joke and casual almost to the point of disrespect. Unlike Kyojuro Rengoku (the real Flame Hashira), Yuji is very laid back. With that understanding, let’s see how the characters of Jujutsu Kaisen fit in with this dynamic. While the Hashira are the most skilled, no two are alike-in style or in personality. These styles range from elemental (like Flame, Stone, or Water) to ethereal (like Sound, Mist, or Love). Their titles are based on their Breathing Styles. The Hashira are the most elite warriors in the Demon Slayer Corps. Let’s give into temptation, then, and decide which Hashira each of the four main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen would be. As we enjoy these shows, there’s a temptation to compare and conflate elements of each series.
#ESO JAILBREAKER ARM COPRS SERIES#
Each series is based on a manga the source material for Demon Slayer is complete, and Jujutsu Kaisen is projected to end sometime in 2023. Each only has one season out so far, so fans are looking forward to a few more years of content (in the meantime, the wait is killing us). Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are two of the most popular contemporary anime, and they’re only just starting.
