Initially avoids participating, but later joins after being encouraged by Tanjiro. He mainly trains alongside others, focusing on breathing techniques and combat, rather than leading a specific training section.
What the Demon Slayers Learn
- Overall physical improvement (strength, endurance, flexibility)
- Enhanced swordsmanship and combat skills
- Better coordination and movement techniques
- Mental resilience and preparation for future battles
This training acts as a complete preparation phase before the final confrontation with the most powerful demons, strengthening both the abilities and confidence of the Demon Slayers.
