Demon Slayer SHOCK: Jinya’s NEW Ally Will Change EVERYTHING!

by

In the seventh installment of Sword of the Demon Hunter, named ‘The Cursed Night of Kudanzaka,’ we find Juuzou, who has a troubled past with Jinya, hiring him for an intriguing task: investigating a supposedly demonic painting. Despite Juuzou’s efforts to mend their strained bond, their issues remain unsettled. As Jinya delves into the mystery, he uncovers a chilling tale – the previous owner of the painting met with an unexplained demise, and the artist eventually fell ill, stoking whispers among the people.

In this artwork, it was Motoharu, who became Jinya’s father through adoption, that had it created, enchanted by Yokaze. The painting gave off a haunting vibe which was often misinterpreted. As Jinya recalled Motoharu’s last words urging him to accept change and animosity, he made peace with Juuzou, resolving the case and healing their fractured relationship.

1854 Spring sets in, and I, an obsessed fan of the Demon Hunter, can hardly contain my excitement as Episode 8 of Sword of the Demon Hunter approaches. Whispers of terror circulate through the vibrant streets of Yoshiwara’s red-light district, where a monstrous female demon is said to be lurking beneath the enchanting night-blooming cherry blossoms, preying on unsuspecting men. The allure of unraveling this mystery compels me, and I eagerly await the moment when Yotaka, a trusted local informant, entrusts me with this case.

Underneath the blooming sakura tree, our protagonist will come across a tormented demon, its form marred by scars, crying out in agony. He’ll eliminate this demon using Yorai. Later, it’ll be disclosed that the demon was once a discarded courtesan, her body and soul both destroyed. The informant, Yotaka, will eventually forge a strong bond with Jinya and become one of his most trusted allies and valuable sources of information.

Titled ‘The Night Flower Hairpin – First Installment,’ the eighth episode of Sword of the Demon Hunter is scheduled to air in Japan on May 6, 2025, at midnight (Japan Standard Time). New episodes will be aired weekly every Tuesday. The broadcast will take place on BS Fuji, Tokyo MX, and MBS.
