I find it ironic how, even though he killed off arguably one of the most likeable pillars and KNY characters in general, you just couldn't really hate him after finding out about his backstory. He's really just a product of his circumstances and was forced to be blinded by the darkness for how many years under Muzan. I think, inevitably, it was a good choice that the mangaka had this specific villain and that specific pillar fight off. One very likeable character and the other not so much until you understand and empathize with what cards life had delt him. This is easily one of my favorite arcs in KNY, and definitely one of the top overall. I cried when Rengoku died, but I cried when Akaza died too. (Really really wished Rengoku didn't die, but at least the manga's last chapter did him some justice)

[@surajkarki3511]

In the afterlife he apologized to his father in law and his father in law wished he could take him to heaven with him but he can't and his love hugged him and told him goodbye.

Hakuji was born and raised in the slums with a sick father he deeply loved. To pay for the medicine, Hakuji took pickpocket the townspeople, but was arrested three times. The judge beat him and marked him with tattoos, threatening to cut off his arm the next time he was arrested and called him "the demon's child". When Hakuji returned home from his third beatings, a villager informed him that his father, after hearing of his arrest, had hanged himself. In the letter he left behind, he said that he wanted Hakuji to live a full life and would not want to take medicine if it was obtained by being dishonest. With his evil tattoos and no home to return to, Hakuji is eventually banished from Edo. Suffering from the loss of his father and resentment towards the society they live in where he cannot afford to buy medicine for his father, he fights with people and beat them. One day, after nearly killing seven adult men in a village, Keizo, the owner of a dojo in the village, approaches the man's cheerful demeanor, Hakuji challenges him, but get defeated easily. Keizo took him in so he could nurse Koyuki, Keizo's sickly daughter. Her mother, her previous caretaker, drowned herself due to stress and Keizo had to work handyman jobs to keep them afloat, so Hakuji was tasked with tending to her. Already accustomed to tending to his father, he had little trouble tending to her, though he found it awkward whenever she burst into tears. One of those times, unbeknownst to him, he had indirectly motivated her by telling her that "there will be a next year" to see the fireworks. Three years later, she was in good health and could stand and do chores. He continued training as Keizo's pupil of the Soryu style, and the dojo began to grow. One day, Keizo offered Hakuji to take over the dojo-and take Koyuki as his bride, to Hakuji's surprise and embarrassment. He agreed, silently vowing to protect both of them, even at the cost of his own life. At a festival, Koyuki told him of her past, asking if he was really okay with the proposal, to which he reaffirmed his vows to her, promising to protect her for the rest of his life. Tragically, this vow was short-lived. He took a short trip to visit his father's grave and inform him of his marriage, but quickly realized something was amiss upon his return. A student from the dojo informed him that their rivaling kenjustu dojo, which had always sought Keizo's land for themselves and prevented him from getting any students until Hakuji's arrival, had poisoned the well from where Koyuki and Keizo drank water from. The two died shortly after drinking that water while Hakuji had been away. Enraged, Hakuji killed all sixty-seven members of the rivaling dojo with his bare hands, pulverizing them to the point where their corpses were no longer recognizable. This incident caught Muzan Kibutsuji's attention and, though he was disappointed to find it had been a human rather than a demon who'd done such a gruesome act, he decided to become a demon, named himself Akaza

When the first time I saw Akaza, he killed Rengoku one of the most likable pillars and ran away cuz the sun was rising. So the first thing I thought about him was that he's a coward and I hate him with all my guts. I continue to hate him as he fought with Giyu and Tanjiro. Until they showed his backstory and how messed up his life is, as a human and as a demon. When I read his backstory, instead of hatred, tears start running down and all those hatred suddenly turn to dust to me. I couldn't stop crying. I was amazed that the author made me hate someone so hard for weeks but manage to make all those hatred disappear in just a day. Ngl I'm still mad at him for killing Rengoku but I don't hate him. It's hard to hate him now tbh. And again while I watch this video, tears starts running down again. This is so breathtaking and amazing.

Well, the guy fought 2 marked pillar level slayers at once and still could've won if it wasn't for his little humanity he had left. Honestly, Muzan lost the war after he lost akaza. Think about it, if akaza continued on and killed both giyu and tanjiro, who were both tired as fuck, akaza could've regrouped with either kokushibo or douma and boom, no way that the pillars fighing kokushibo that were having hard time killing, would beat both akaza and koku.

Akaza was so strong that he could've surpassed douma if he ate women, but definitely not kokushibo. You see, Akaza's compass needle technique is so op, that as his opponents get stronger, he can better sense their battlespirit and beat them with his destructive killer technique by counter measures. So, that's the reason why giyu marked and tanjiro marked had such a hard time beating this guy, or any pillar whether he has a mark or not. The only way to beat him is the see through world technique (which only tanjiro, upm1's twin little bro, or upm1 have) or just being >upm2. Also, akaza was the important chess piece during the last arc,where if Akaza continued on, he definitely would've bodied both tanjiro and giyu, regrouped with either koku or douma, and the demon slayer corps would've been exterminated. Also, Akaza didn't "lose" against giyu and tanjiro; He killed himself.

I have a headcanon that Gyutaro, Akaza/Hakuji, and Rui, as well as all their loved ones, have reincarnated in the present day. Because Rui's birth parents, Ume/Daki, Akaza's father, Keizo, and Koyuki still forsaken their salvation in order to be with their loved ones, so they deserve happy endings. Rui was sick, and when Muzan turned him, his parents made a suicide pact to kill him, but they never stopped loving him. Gyutaro was a ugly boy in the slums of a community where looks determined one's value, with an abusive mother, and a little sister he vowed to protect, who became his pride and joy, and would eventually give up on her chance to go to Heaven or be reborn into a better life for him, despite his protests. And Akaza just wanted to protect his loved ones, but the world plotted against them.

[@barakuda6747]

I dont think Ive ever seen someone give Akaza this attention before, thats actually really cool! Good for you!

[@lemon-pop2923]

Just hurts seeing Akaza's story. His life was truly about to turn around for the better. He was about to marry the love of his life with his master as his father in law and father figure after losing his own biological father and inherit the dojo. And then some jealous and cruel people took that future away from him. We already know Hakuji is an all or nothing person as well. When he loves someone, he loved them with all of his might. He threw away his reputation and got jailed over and over if it meant he could steal enough money to buy medicine for his father. So Hakuji's rage led him to massacre those people who killed his new family. This even manifests in his demon self, where he still uses his master's techniques, fireworks bursting, refusing to kill women, and the snowflake motifs reminiscent of Koyuki's hairpin. The original Hakuji wanted to protect the weak, but this desire got twisted into Demon Akaza hating weak people. When really, in truth, he hated himself for not being able to help his loved ones and people who were cowardly like the rival martial art dojo. He didn't even choose to become a demon. He lost all desire to live after his beloved family's deaths. The most bittersweet part to me is that, in the end, his story will fade away and unknown since there is no one to tell the tale. Only we, the readers, learn his story. Tanjiro and the rest of the cast will never know. But I suppose that in a way is beautiful too since we are humans and such is life. Someday things will be lost to time and new stories will arise.

Akaza always hated people who refused to fight fair, especially after losing his fiancée and sensei to people like that, and regrowing his head would make him a hypocrite.

Akaza is one of the characters who deserve the world. He lost his father, father in law, a master, friend, wife and almost everything. He could live a beautiful life with people he cared about and i really hope the mangaka will make a spin off /side story of akaza in a beautiful world 💕

[@clairdelune4372]

well, gladly we have the kimetsu academy, a spin off where there's no such tragedies. akaza lives normally as hakuji and apparently married to koyuki 🥰

I actually can't- this PMV captures his backstory so well it's just so sad. Knowing that even after he got turned into a demon, he didn't know why but he was doing things for a reason until moments before his death when he looked back on his life as a human, remembering the love of his life and that she was the reason he kept going. I love Akaza sm. his story is just so sad and sympathetic

[@victoriahiromi2256]

this vid is gonna blow up again when it's animated

[@berry9164]

I have come back to this video an unhealthy amount of times.

[@rattersworld1016]

THIS IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAH I'm currently loving TBHK, I enjoyed Demon Slayer, I love Yorushika, and your art is spectacular (there is so much personality in the proportioning, lining, and coloring!!!) so I've watched the "Itte" videos multiple times, I loved the "Hitchcock" one, and (I know this isn't Yorushika, but still) I love this one!!

[@theanimegang3285]

Akaza was one of the best villains in anime history and you can't change my mind. And I just noticed, if you look closely, Akaza's compass attack thingy? Yeah the one he uses to sense battle spirit and attack, it's shaped like Koyuki's snowflake hairpin

[@aitrennguyen5795]

Hi I'm Vietnamese, I watched this video many times because it was so good, for some reason but I like * Akaza * -First: Akaza never eats women and children, if Akaza eats them, Akaza will probably be much stronger than DouMa, but you won't do that, I think because in your heart you miss Koyuki, the lady very much. . my great brother -second thing: he has a lot of respect for others over his match against Rengoku. and also when you fight Tanjirou and Giyuu. Akaza is a very different demon from Kobushibo and Douma, in his memory of the grief of an 11-year-old. He had to steal money to buy medicine for his father, his family was poor, his father did not want to tire Akaza anymore, so he committed suicide. This puts Akaza in the most miserable situation, but at that time his master has guided him on the right path, and he has a crush on Koyuki, the son of his master, every day Akaza has to work hard. take care of Koyuki because she is sick. When he was 18 years old, Koyuki was 16 years old. Your master gave Koyuki to you .... You two are married. But for a long time, the people who hated his master's martial arts chapel poisoned Koyuki and his master. Where did Akaza go at that time (I don't remember very well, sorry) so he was not at home, at that time he came home ... Akaza was in shock, his precious wife and his father-in-law that. ..lost.... -Really. Akaza was once again in the most miserable situation. Now that the one he loves is dead, he starts to go mad, killing everyone involved in the poisoning with his bare hands ... 67 .... Akaza killed 67 people ..... While he seemed to lose his mind, the demon lord Muzan appeared and turned Akaza into a goblin. Also because when he was a human, he was very strong, and when he became a demon, Akaza's power would naturally become much stronger. When fighting Rengoku he claimed to have killed a lot of turrets before ... and he finally defeated Rengoku, he wanted strong guys like Rengoku to become youkai to fight forever ... Coming to the Final Battle. If his wife Koyuki didn't appear in his memory, Akaza would have killed Tanjirou and Giyuu. "Hakuji-san, that's more than enough" Koyuki appeared in his memory and spoke lovingly with Akaza "Everything is fine, everything is fine! Hakuji sir!" - she continued At this time, Akaza is like going back to the Hakuji of the old days, approaching Koyuki and crying like a child. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you! When you needed me most, I wasn't there, really, I'm sorry so much" Akaza cried while talking to Koyuki "I .. I did not fulfill my promise! Forgive me, forgive me!" He continued, Koyuki was crying ... Koyuiki said: "I ... I'm so glad you remembered everyone .... I'm so happy that you went back to the Hakuji of the old days ..... Welcome Back! My husband! After that, he disintegrated, his body did not revive, Akaza disintegrated while the priest knelt and hugged others, much to Tanjirou and Giyuu's surprise ... I really like Akaza ❤️ Thank you everyone for reading here! I translate on google translate so there are also some inaccurate places, people ignore!
