Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles adds new characters to their Versus Mode that lets players freely choose two characters to fight against each other. We’ve already been introduced to Zenitsu and Inosuke, this time around Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, and the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku joins the line-up.
Shinobu Kocho, voiced by Saori Hayami, makes use of Insect Breathing. A fighter that exudes grace, she is polite and and never lets her smile fade whether she’s facing a human or demon.
Kyojuro Rengoku on the other hand is voiced by Satoshu Hino that makes use of Flame breathing when he fights. He is always cheerful and eccentric even when he is in a battle.
With the game coming to our consoles real soon, it is certainly one for fans to look forward to especially for those that are currently having a Demon Slayer withdrawal from the movie. For more information about the upcoming game, do check their official website.
