In short, that wraps up the plot of Volu 1.🤞🥳
Sakoma Iori's death had been planned from the start.
It wasn't because she was disliked or anything like that.
It was only through her death that Takeo—a person from a modern, peaceful world who had never experienced true death, loss, and cruelty—could begin to understand how harsh this world truly is.
This entire first volu has essentially been about Takeo's transmigration and integration into this world.
Otherwise, he would, like the MCs of generic DS fanfics, have looked completely out of place.
Now that that's done, here's a Q&A to clarify a few things:
Q1: Did Takeo transmigrate, or was he reincarnated?
A1: Although he thinks he's a transmigrator. The answer is that he reincarnated! He regained mories from his past life only after dying. Because he had been dead for a while, his brain had so mory fragntation, which is why he couldn't rember things at first.
Q2: Why are Old Man Logan's powers so weak?
A2: This version of Old Man Logan is the one who died and was buried, as seen at the end of his movie. Those familiar will know how weakened he had beco. Since Takeo received this legacy right after, the power was also further diminished.
The short ans—For the Plot! However, it will gradually recover as Takeo grows stronger.
Q3: Why did 2B attack Takeo right away?
A3: Because the first ti Takeo inherited a power, he took a shortcut. 2B was carrying out the trial ant for Old Man Logan. If not for that, 2B's trial would've been different.
Q4: Who dug Takeo and the others out after the battle with the Dust Demon?
A4: The Kakushi (隠) squad, the Demon Slayer Corps' support and logistics unit. They appear in the original story too, and their role will be explained more later.
Q5: If Takeo hadn't been there, who would've defeated the Dust Demon?
A5: The Serpent Hashira, Iguro Obanai. His bandaged mouth prevents him from inhaling dust, and his snake Kaburamaru can detect heat signatures. He could've ended the fight instantly.
Q6: So did the Serpent Hashira show up?
A6: Yes, but when he saw that the demon had already been dealt with, he left. That's why Takeo didn't see him.
Q7: Are Iori and Asato original characters?
A7: Yes. In my setup, without Takeo, one would have died to a Water Demon, and the other in the arms of the Cloth Demon.So technically, Iori did live a bit longer… yeah.
Q8: How many Hashira are there right now?
A8: As of the end of Volu 1, there are eight Hashira. Only the Mist Hashira hasn't appeared yet since Muichiro Tokito hasn't beco a hashira rn; the others are all in place.
While the original story said that six months without a personnel change was considered excellent, if you look at the side stories:Giyu, Shinobu, Gyoi, Tengen, and Sanemi all beca Hashira before Kyojuro. Shortly after Kyojuro's promotion, Mitsuri also beca a Hashira.
That's seven.
Obanai, who was saved by Shinjuro Rengoku, soon beca a Hashira too.So logically, he should've already been one before Kyojuro, even if the side story doesn't ntion it.
So yes, there are eight.
Q9: What's my favorite Demon Slayer fanfic?
A9: My favorite Demon Slayer fanfic is A Silent Journey by Emmanuel_capricorn.
…
That's all for Volu 1. Enough rambling—please look forward to Volu 2!
See you in Volu 2!
