Demon Slayer: How Strong Is Upper Rank 3 Demon, Akaza?

Upper Moon 3, Akaza makes his first debut appearance during the Mugen Train Arc where he goes head-to-head with Kyojuro Rengoku. Before turning into a demon, Akaza was a strong martial artist but also like most demons in the Demon Slayer series was haunted by a depressing past. As a child the only crime Akaza comitted was to steal medicine to heal his dying father but was unable to do so, he also lost the ones he loved the most – his martial arts teacher Keizo and his daughter Koyuki who was also Akaza’s fiancée after a rival dojo poisoned their water well. This was Akaza’s turning point as he grew to hate humans. As a human, Akaza possessed a strong-willed personality and this carried on to when Muzan turned him into a demon after recognizing his strength.
