The long-awaited third season of the anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Swordsmith Village Arc" will be broadcast from April this year, but have you researched the characters who will be active in the third season of the anime? From the third season of the anime, not only will the main characters who have been active so far appear, but many characters who have appeared but did not play a big role will also be depicted playing an active role. Among them, the one who is attracting the most attention is Mitsuri Kanroji, who I will introduce this time. Mitsuri is one of the most popular characters among the female characters who appear in the work, and her fans must have been waiting for her to play an active role in the anime. Mitsuri has not been depicted as playing a major role in the anime so far, but in the Swordsmith Village Arc, she is a character who plays an active role. In fact, she has been selected as the image visual for the anime, and the official website seems to be praising Mitsuri as if to say, "Pay attention to Mitsuri." In this article, I would like to briefly introduce Mitsuri Kanroji, who will be showing the long-awaited role of such fans in the third season of the anime! I'm sure there are many fans who haven't read the original yet and don't know what kind of character Mitsuri is, so please check it out as a preparation for the third season.
Joining the Demon Slayer Corps in search of a man to spend the rest of her life with!?
Mitsuri is a character who belongs to the Demon Slayer Corps as the Love Pillar. While many characters join the Demon Slayer Corps after having their loved ones killed by demons, she clearly states that she "joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find a man to spend the rest of her life with," and we can see that she is a character with feelings that are quite different from the other pillars.
Even Tanjiro is shocked,,
As you can see from the explanation at the beginning, she has a very bright and optimistic personality, so she is a character that tends to stand out a little in this work, which has many somewhat serious depictions and characters. Even the main character, Tanjiro, is often stunned or shocked by what she says, which is why she is the ultimate loose and fluffy swordsman who even the main character fears.
Do her slightly off-topic remarks lighten the mood? ?
On the other hand, it is rare to find a character with such a bright personality, and her slightly off-beat remarks often lighten the mood. In Demon Slayer, which already has many heavy stories, her cheerfulness is an indispensable element.

Her abilities are outstanding! !
She is a character with outstanding abilities, as she is active as a pillar. Many people may be wondering about her abilities because she has not yet been shown to be active in the anime version, but she actually has strengths that other pillars do not have. In the next chapter, I would like to introduce Mitsuri's strengths and her activities as a pillar.
Active as the Love Pillar
Mitsuri plays an active role as the Love Pillar in the story, but she is actually a character with abilities that the other pillars do not have. In terms of normal combat ability alone, Mitsuri is slightly inferior to the other characters, but she is actually born with a strong body that is different from that of ordinary people.
Hachibai Musume
In the story, it is explained that her muscle density is eight times that of an ordinary person, which is why she is referred to as Hachibai Musume. People who are born with a lot of muscle mass or who are prone to building muscle mass are very rare, but I have never heard of a figure of eight times that of an ordinary person. If someone with such abilities were born in real life, they would probably win gold medals in all events at the Olympics in no time.
Powerful character that is contrary to her appearance
Thus, Mitsuri has a special body that is different from that of ordinary people, and she will face many strong opponents using the enormous power hidden in her body as a weapon. At first glance, she may look cute, but contrary to her appearance, she is actually a very powerful character.
Well-balanced fighting style
Normally, if you have a strong body, your mobility should decrease accordingly, but in her case, there is no depiction of this. Mitsuri's muscles cover up the decrease in explosive power caused by her increased muscle mass. If you think about it, it's a mess of logic, but the otherworldly power play setting that you wouldn't expect from a female character, where she covers up weaknesses caused by increased muscle mass with her muscles, is worth a look.
The Nichirin sword she uses is also special! !
Because she is a swordsman with a body completely different from that of an ordinary person, the Nichirin sword she uses is also of special specifications.
It bends like a whip! !
Her Nichirin sword is longer than normal and bends like a whip. Her Nichirin sword, which takes the flexibility of metal to its limits, is as unorthodox as she is.
A weapon unique to a strong arm
Naturally, it has a much longer reach than a normal Nichirin sword, so it requires several times the strength of a normal Nichirin sword to swing it around. Instead, once you can handle it, it becomes an ultimate sword with excellent offense and defense, covering a range that a normal sword cannot. It can be said that this Nichirin sword was designed to take advantage of her strong arm to the fullest.

Overwhelmingly popular with men!
Now, let's take a look at this ultimate power swordsman and her popularity in the work.
Shares popularity with Shinobu Kocho
Miji is a female character who shares popularity with Shinobu Kocho in this work "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". When it comes to female characters in Demon Slayer, many fans may first think of Shinobu Kocho, but in fact, Mitsuri is the character who has gained as much support from male fans as Shinobu.
A bright personality, rare in the work
That's because Mitsuri is a rare character in the work with a bottomless and bright personality, so for male fans who were despairing over the weight of the story, her brightness seems to be a temporary salvation. It's impossible for a woman who makes the atmosphere more cheerful not to be popular with men. In this way, she has gained the overwhelming popularity of Shinobu not only because of her cute appearance, but also because of the way she acts in the work.
He plays a major role in the Swordsmith Village arc
Though he has not yet played a dramatic role in the anime, he is already extremely popular among fans of the original work, and we can expect his popularity to increase even more in the Swordsmith Village arc.
Characters to watch out for
The production team is of course aware of her popularity, so there may be special scenes that were not in the original work. At least in the Swordsmith Village arc, she is definitely a character to keep an eye on, so be sure to check her out.
Spoiler Alert!! The End of Mitsuri Kanroji
Now, Mitsuri's performance in the Swordsmith Village arc is attracting attention, but from here on I would like to skip the Swordsmith Village arc and introduce her final moments. Naturally, this article contains many spoilers, so if you would like to enjoy this work without spoilers, I recommend that you go back to your browser here.
Participate in the final battle against Muzan
Mitsuri survives until the final battle of the story, and fights to the death against Muzan with Tanjiro and the others. Up until now, Mitsuri has often shown a rather playful expression, but when it comes to fighting Muzan, her cheerfulness disappears and she often shows a grim expression.
Defeat Upper Rank Four, Nakime
Despite numerous deadly battles, she achieves the feat of defeating Upper Rank Four, Nakime, and puts Muzan under pressure. However, at this point she has already suffered considerable damage, and even the strongest Mitsuri is gradually reaching the limits of her physical strength.
Continues to fight on the front lines despite sustaining serious injuries
Despite sustaining serious injuries, Mitsuri continues to fight on the front lines alongside Tanjiro until the very end, but is ultimately fatally wounded by Muzan's attack.
She confesses her feelings to Iguro and loses her life
Iguro was the one who was at her side as she died. Mitsuri had feelings for Iguro, who she had worked with, and confessed her feelings to him as she died. Iguro responded to her, but both of them had already been fatally wounded, and they both lost their lives. At the very end, her dream of "meeting a wonderful man" came true.
[itemlink post_id="109232"]Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced Mitsuri, also known as the Love Pillar, who will play an active role in the Swordsmith Village Arc. She is not only popular with male fans, but also with women due to her girly cuteness, so be sure to keep an eye on her exploits in the work.
