Muichiro Tokito vs. Gyokko
In the heart of the "Swordsmith Village Arc," the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito found himself in a perilous encounter with the formidable Upper-Rank 5, Gyokko, amidst the dense forests surrounding the Swordsmith Village. Muichiro's resilience was put to the test as he endured a barrage of poisoned needles, ultimately finding himself ensnared within Gyokko's seemingly impenetrable bubble.
With Muichiro seemingly subdued, Gyokko, confident in his victory, departed to attend to other matters. However, in a last desperate attempt, Muichiro summoned his remaining strength to pierce the bubble as his life force waned. On the brink of succumbing to death, he glimpsed Tanjiro, questioning the latter's willingness to sacrifice himself.
As Muichiro teetered on the edge of mortality, his latent Demon Slayer mark suddenly ignited. At this critical moment, young Kotetsu arrived, blowing life-sustaining air into the bubble. Empowered by this unexpected aid, Muichiro shattered the confining barrier and set forth in pursuit of Gyokko.
The ensuing battle unfolded in a dramatic crescendo, with Muichiro displaying unwavering determination. Despite the daunting challenges, he successfully beheaded Upper-Rank 5, while Tanjiro and his companions confronted the formidable Upper-Rank 4 in a parallel struggle. The clash between Muichiro and Gyokko marked a pivotal moment in the intense narrative of the Swordsmith Village Arc.
