Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the first
Yoriichi combined all his forms into one strike and turned his blade bright red, enabling him to cut through all of Muzan's weaknesses and overpower him.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the first swordsmen to ever use Breathing Styles, once nearly killed Muzan with Sun-Breathing, and Muzan has been both physically and psychologically scarred ever since.
With his blood, Muzan can turn others into demons and seems like an unstoppable foe. However, the demon king seems to fear one thing: Tanjirou's hanafuda earrings. A look into Muzan's past reveals that only one man ever came close to killing him.
Kokushibo was the final Upper-Rank to die during Demon Slayer's "Infinity Castle" arc. Muichiro, Genya, Sanemi Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima fought together against Kokushibo, though Muichiro and Genya were no match for him and were killed.
Kanao only succeeded in decapitating the Upper Rank when Inosuke used his swords to push her blade through Doma's neck.
Mist breather Tokito's talent as a Demon Slayer is unmatched. It became clear when he defeated the Upper 5, Gyokko, single handedly. Even after taking huge damage from poison, Tokito overpowers Gyokko with his signature Mist Breathing.
It is revealed that Muzan's true fear of dying and immense desire to live and survive was due to him being born "dead," where his heart would constantly stop in his mother's womb and was assumed stillborn until he fought to breathe before his cremation.
Many Kimetsu no Yaiba fans deduce that Yoriichi is Tanjiro's father, but that isn't the case. However, Yoriichi is responsible for teaching Tanjiro's ancestors the Hinokami Kagura, which has been passed down for generations.
Does Muzan have a favorite demon? Despite the fact that Muzan. is always shown to have disdain for his creations, Muzan does in fact have a favorite. On that list is Naki, made due to a convenient blood demon.
But the crowning moment of his achievements is when he epically slices off Daki's head and makes a run for it—after all, she won't die until her brother's head is also sliced. Unfortunately, Gyutaro spots Inosuke and stabs him right through where his heart should be with a sickle imbued with deadly poison.
Thus, Muzan created demons for hundreds of years even when he didn't want to turn someone. Since he didn't know anything about the Blue Spider Lily medicine, he needed others to find the plant for him by happenstance. This is the general reason why Muzan turned Nezuko into a demon.
The Mist Hashira, along with Gyomei, Sanemi, and Genya, fought the Upper Moon 1. While the group was able to defeat them, both Muichiro and Genya died due to the wounds inflicted by Kokushibo.
Don't go! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE! Muzan speaks his final words as he loses control over Tanjiro.
In the first few arcs of the series, the identity of the demon that killed Tanjiro's family was a mystery. It is later revealed that it was none other than the series' main antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji.
Who is stronger than Muzan, the original Demon King? The only character who was stronger than Muzan was Yoriichi. He almost beat Muzan before splitting his body into 1800 parts in an attempt to escape. He escaped successfully and managed to fuse back into a single body after a while.
Is upper rank one Tanjiro's father? No, they are not related. Tanjiro, by PURE COINCIDENCE, heavily resembles Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the creator of Breath swordsmanship, the only other person to use Sun Breathing, and the only person Muzan ever feared.
Tanjiro's connection to Yoriichi is not through blood relation, but through their similar appearances, which is due to the divine nature of Sun Breathing. (Also Read: Did Demon Slayer hire a Bollywood director for Season 3? Fans speculate!)
Tanjuro Kamado a recurring flashback hero from Demon Slayer : Kimetsu No Yaiba. He was the husband of Kie Kamado, and the father of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru, and Rokuta. Tanjuro was a flame dancer who used to dance the Hinokami Kagura during the winter.
Curse of Kibutsuji
This curse besotted any who partake of Muzan's blood must be careful. The curse prevents Muzan's name from being spoken aloud, and any who do will meet a horrible demise. One demon, Susamaru, faced this reality when battling Tamayo.
14) Muzan Kibutsuji (over 1000)
Being a demon, Muzan is capable of living for many, many years. However, unlike other demons that have aged over hundreds of years. Muzan is well over 1000 years old.
Origin. The first demon that is said to have existed was Muzan Kibutsuji. The one who turned him into a demon was a generous doctor from the Heian Period, who wanted to save Muzan from death since, at the time, he was diagnosed with a disease which would kill him before he turned twenty.
Fortunately, Zenitsu was able to single handedly beat the Upper Moon 6. Not only did he defeat the demon, he also created a seventh form called the Flaming Thunder God. These are the demons who have been given the title of Upper Moon 6 in Demon Slayer.
After various battles within the Dimensional Infinity Fortress the remaining Upper Moons are killed by the hands of various Demon Slayers. The last member, Upper Moon Four Nakime, ends up being killed by Muzan Kibutsuji himself to stop the Dimensional Infinity Fortress from being controlled by his enemies.
