Kimetsu Gakuen Characters Join Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles

In addition to the inclusion of Murata to the growing cast of characters in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles, leaks have revealed that three characters from Kimetsu Gakuen will be playable. The Kimetsu Gakuen versions of Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Giyu will appear as fighters. Not only will their appearances be different from the vanilla versions already confirmed to appear in the game, but their skills will be different as well. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089!]

Currently, there are no videos or news about how the Kimetsu Gakuen versions of Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Giyu will play. More information, as well as a trailer video, will appear soon. The Kimetsu Gakuen Tanjiro is the third playable Tanjiro in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles. Aside from the vanilla character, his Hinokami Kagura version will appear as a separate fighter. According to the leaks, Tanjiro’s moveset may involve cooking and Giyu may incorporate slaps in his fighting style.

Kimetsu Gakuen is a spin-off of Demon Slayer that focuses on the characters living in a peaceful modern world. The Hashira are various faculty members and Tanjiro’s generation of characters are students. Four episodes of Kimetsu Gakuen: Valentine-hen aired earlier in 2021 in February.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles will come out on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC in 2021 in Japan. Western audiences will see this game in English sometime in 2021 as well.
