Today, CyberConnect2 revealed a set of new videos featuring fighters from the Demon Slayer game, titled Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles. This time around, Sakonji, Sabito, and Makomo got the spotlight.
While all of the presented fighters all use the Water Breathing technique, they each have their little quirks to set themselves apart. Tanjiro’s initial trainer Sakonji Urokodaki mixes his swordmanship with a number of traps including bamboo shoots that shoot upwards from the ground, and a giant boulder that is spawned from the sky. Makomo makes up for her low strength with her incredible agility. Lastly, there is Sabito, Sakonji’s most powerful student (until Tanjiro came along), who can certainly hold his own against another swordsman.
