The following contains major spoilers for the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, by Koyoharu Gotouge, available in English through Viz Media.
As the ultimate villain in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Muzan Kibutsuji didn’t get personally involved in the battle between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps until the manga’s final arc. Before that, the six Upper-Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki served as the primary antagonists for much of the series. The defeat of Enmu, Lower-Rank One, during the “Mugen Train” arc marked the last time Tanjiro Kamado would fight anyone other than the strongest demons around.
However, considering the Upper-Ranks were no more than Kibutsuji’s henchmen, it should come as no surprise that none of them lived to the end of the series. Let’s look at each Upper-Rank’s fate by the end of Demon Slayer — anime-only fans beware, major spoilers lie ahead.
Upper-Rank Six: Gyutaro & Daki
During Demon Slayer’s “Entertainment District” arc, Gyutaro and Daki fought against Tanjiro, Tengen Uzui, Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Nezuko Kamado. Although Iguro Obanai referred to them as the “lowly” Upper-Six, the battle to defeat them still decimated an entire city and forced Tengen, the Sound Hashira, into early retirement after losing his left hand and left eye.
Gyutaro was decapitated by Tanjiro with an assist by Tengen while Daki was beheaded by a joint attack from Zenitsu and Inosuke. Like most demons, their impending demise returned their memories of their lives as humans, and Gyutaro and Daki reaffirmed their love for each other as brother and sister and went to Hell together.
Upper-Rank Five: Gyokko
Gyokko was one of the Upper-Rank demons who attacked the titular village in Demon Slayer’s “Swordsmith Village” arc. Facing off against the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Gyokko was the only Upper-Rank in the series who 1v1’d a Hashira and lost. Gyokko was an artist whose pride in his grotesque creations using corpses of those he’d killed ultimately led to his own demise.
As a fellow artist, Gyokko became distracted by Haganezuka’s dedication to sword-polishing and opted to hold off on finishing off a wounded Muichiro. Tokito then manifested his Mark and effortlessly decapitated Gyokko with Mist-Breathing, Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds. Unlike other demons, Gyokko didn’t have time to lament his actions or regain his human memories, as Muichiro split Gyokko’s decapitated head in half to get him to stop talking.
Upper-Rank Four: Hantengu
Hantengu attacked the Swordsmith Village alongside Gyokko and battled against Tanjiro, Nezuko, Genya Shinazugawa and Mitsuri Kanroji. Hantengu was unique in that being decapitated only made him stronger. He split into seven different bodies over the course of the battle, while Tanjiro and the others struggled to find the real body whose beheading would kill him.
Although Hantengu was defeated by Tanjiro, his forcing Nezuko into the sunlight only for her to survive exposure was the only time in Demon Slayer that Muzan enthusiastically praised one of his demons. Like Gyokko, Hantengu didn’t have much time to reflect upon his human memories as most dying demons do — his corpse was caught in the sunlight immediately after his beheading.
Upper-Rank Three: Akaza
After his debut in the “Mugen Train” arc, Akaza didn’t see action again until Demon Slayer’s “Infinity Castle” arc. Squaring off against Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka, Akaza proved himself to be genuinely unbeatable. His Compass Needle ability allowed him to predict his opponent’s moves, and even when Tanjiro neutralized the Compass Needle and decapitated him, Akaza’s headless body continued fighting while his head regenerated. The exhausted Tanjiro and Giyu would’ve died at Akaza’s hands if being decapitated hadn’t triggered Akaza’s memories of his human life.
As a young martial artist named Hakuji, he lost his fiancée and teacher when a rival dojo poisoned their well. He became a demon when Kibutsuji came to investigate the demon-level carnage that Hakuji had inflicted on the rival dojo. When Akaza remembered his late fiancée, he became remorseful over the monster he’d become and obliterated his own freshly regenerated head, allowing himself to die.
Upper-Rank Two: Doma
During the “Infinity Castle” arc, Doma was first confronted by the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, whom he quickly consumed after her poisons failed to kill him. Kanao Tsuyuri and Inosuke then teamed up to fight, but were no match for him until the 37 kilograms of Wisteria poison he’d inadvertently ingested by consuming Shinobu began to melt his body. Doma was described by Kanao (accurately) as completely empty inside.
Even as he was dying, Doma acknowledged that he didn’t feel anger at losing or even fear of dying, but rather he felt the same thing he’d always felt even as a human — nothing. After being decapitated by Kanao and Inosuke, Doma experienced his first emotion in his entire life when he met Shinobu in the afterlife and, despite her hatred for him, began to develop a crush on her.
Upper-Rank One: Kokushibo
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. Sanemi and Gyomei decapitated Kokushibo, but he successfully regenerated his head just as Akaza had. However, the wound from Muichiro’s burning red blade caused his body to disintegrate anyway.
As his body withered away, Kokushibo reflected on his human life as Michikatsu Tsugikuni, the twin brother of Yoriichi. Michikatsu always felt inferior to his brother because only Yoriichi could wield the all-powerful Sun-Breathing Technique. He chose to become a demon so he could live forever and improve his sword skills, though as he died, he admitted he’d just wanted to be as strong as Yoriichi.
