Hello, I am KENTA, a manga lover! This time, I’d like to share with you a discussion about a particularly mysterious entity in “Demon-Slayer,” the Sanyashiki family. I will explain in detail the curse of the San-yashiki family, its terrible secret, and its relationship with the Oni-killer Squad. By reading this discussion, you may discover a new aspect of the “Demon-Slayer”. So, we hope you enjoy it with excitement!
What is the Ubuyashiki family?
The Ubuyashiki family is a prestigious family that has produced the chief executive officer (oyakata-sama) of the Demon-Slayer for generations. The current head of the family, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, took over at the young age of 4. Kagaya’s voice has a special characteristic called “1/f fluctuation,” which has a charisma that makes listeners feel comfortable. This voice has an effect similar to that of modern healing music.
Master’s charisma and leadership
Kagaya led the Onikagiri with overwhelming charisma even though he had lost his sight; when Tanjiro first attended the Central Conference, Kagaya’s two eyes were already blind, but his presence and influence were enormous. Kagaya apologized with deep bosom and acceptance to Sanemi Shinazugawa, who complained that he was only giving orders instead of fighting for himself.
Under Kagaya, many pillars of trust were placed in him, including Uzui Tengen and Kanroji Mitsuri, who were praised for their attributes and given words of encouragement to boost their confidence. Thus, Kagaya’s ability to praise others was also a gift, and his charisma and leadership have been passed down in the family tradition.
The Ubuyashiki Family Curse and Its Impact
However, a great curse exists in the Ubuyashiki family. It is that the children of the family are born sickly and die soon after. Boys die soon after leaving behind one child, and girls must marry and change their surnames by the age of 13, or they will die from accident or illness, a terrible curse. This curse cannot be avoided no matter how careful one is, and has been considered an unavoidable fate for the Ubuyashiki family.
When the family was about to be cut off, the god told them, “A demon is coming from the same bloodline. If you put your heart and soul into defeating him, your family will never cease to exist. This led to the Ubuyashiki family receiving wives from the priestly lineage, and although their children were less likely to die, it was still difficult for them to live to the age of 30, and Kagaya, at the age of 23, was also consumed by illness.
The Rationale for the Oni-Killing Squad and the Final Sorting
The Oni-kiri-tai can be said to be an organization assembled to lift the curse of the Ubuyashiki family. Kagaya’s wife, Amane, followed this tradition and married into the Ubuyashiki family.
In the final selection, 20 people participated and only five survived the seven days, including Tanjiro. This was a test in the mountains, where the Ubuyashiki family has many ogres, and it was essential to have humans to feed the ogres. This selection process was very strict and often wasted lives, giving us a glimpse into the rigors of the Oni-Killing Squad and the madness of the Ubuyashiki family.
The Ubuyashiki Family’s Relationship with Muzan
The relationship between the Ubuyashiki family and Onimai Tsuji Muzan is also interesting: when Muzan attacked the Ubuyashiki family, Kagaya used himself as bait and blew himself up, involving his wife and daughters. This action inflicted great damage on Muzan and led to the final battle.
Kiriya, who succeeded Kagaya, survived the defeat of Muzan and became the oldest person in Japan. This was proof that the curse of the Ubuyashiki family had been lifted; by defeating Muzan, the Ubuyashiki had achieved their long-held goal and succeeded in lifting the curse.
The Ubuyashiki Madness and Obsession
The madness of the Ubuyashiki family is not limited to Kagaya’s actions. The severity of the final selection process and the inhumane practice of keeping the demons are also part of their madness. The Ubuyashiki family’s determination to sacrifice themselves in order to avenge Muzan also illustrates their insanity.
The curse of the Ubuyashiki family is lifted, and a peaceful future awaits them.
Conclusion
The Ubuyashiki family, as portrayed in “Demon-Slayer,” is set apart from other characters by their abnormality and curse. Their madness and obsession played an important role in the story and paved the way for the defeat of Muzan; without the Ubuyashiki family, the Demon-Slayer would not have been possible and the story would have had a different ending.
