Hello, I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves manga. I will discuss in detail the abilities of Hantengu, the Sangen no Oni, who appears in the Sword Forging Arc of “Demon-Slayer. By unraveling the secrets of his split body and his true power, you too will be able to enjoy the anime battles even more. Now, let’s explore the mystery of Hantengu together!
Hantengu’s Appearance and Appearance Hantengu is a Sangen demon described in the official fan book as looking like an old man of about 87 years old. He first appears in the comic book volume 12, episode 98, “Upper Limit Concentration,” and is characterized by his large hump. On his forehead is the character for “grudge,” and he has no Jogen-like demeanor, and is always seen as being frightened of something. When he first appeared before Sumijiro and Muichiro, he was so good at hiding his presence that an ordinary demon-slayer would have been killed before he was noticed.
Hantengu was already outrageous even as a human. He feigned blindness, stole and killed repeatedly, and when he was found guilty and beheaded, he falsely claimed that he was innocent, saying, “I cannot do it. The reason he lied about his blindness was to be forgiven when he bumped into a ruffian.
