Your mission
Ten swords, and it is up to you to find who wields each one. Make no mistakes and the Swordsmith Village names you its chief, and even Haganezuka puts his knife away.
The swordsmiths of the hidden village forge each demon slayer a weapon made to measure. The colour of the blade tells their breathing style, the shape of the guard tells who they are, and some Hashira have even given up the katana for a weapon no one else could handle. In Demon Slayer, an attentive fan recognises a character by their sword alone.
Ten weapons are described to you, and it is up to you to find their owner. Under each question, the image shows those who crossed the blade, or those who forged it, never the person who wields it. The explanation appears as soon as you answer, and your score comes at the end. To revise before you start, our page on Nichirin swords, their colours and their forging covers the whole subject.
