The Demon Slayer Corps is like a shield, protecting people from demons. Its members are skilled fighters, mastering swordsmanship to battle demons. Tanjiro Kamado, once a coal seller, joined after learning swordsmanship out of necessity.
Surprisingly, the Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, lacks strength and cannot wield a sword. Yet, even the strongest demon hunters, the Hashiras, respect him deeply.
Fans have been curious about Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s illness. It’s linked to a curse running in his family, affecting his health.
The Curse of Kagaya Ubuyashik Revealing the Legacy of the Demon King
The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, suffers from a curse inherited from his bloodline, stemming from their connection to the Demon King, Kibutsuji Muzan.
Being direct descendants of the demon, every member of the clan is born weak and has a short lifespan. Seeking a solution, the clan consulted a priest who revealed their bloodline’s link to the first-ever demon.
To extend their lifespan, the clan arranged marriages with members of the priest’s clan. While this helped, members still didn’t live past 30. Kagaya Ubuyashiki, belonging to this clan, faces the same fate and falls seriously ill later in the series.
The Ubuyashiki Clan dedicated themselves to defeating Muzan, their ultimate goal being his demise. Thus, they assumed leadership of the Demon Slayer Corps to pursue this mission.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki isn’t merely a feeble elder; he holds a crucial role thanks to his clairvoyant abilities. His knack for resource management has spared lives and guided his demon hunters through challenging times, earning him Muzan’s disdain.
In the upcoming season, a pivotal moment unfolds as Muzan confronts Ubuyashiki in his home while the demon hunters are away. Their dialogue promises to reveal crucial insights into the series’ narrative.
Ubuyashiki’s link to the Demon King is the root cause of his curse and subsequent illness. Despite his physical limitations, he displays remarkable courage and resilience when faced with Muzan’s presence, leaving a lasting impression on those around him.
