Another reason why Rengoku is popular is his strength. He was able to take on Akaza and ensured that no one was hurt on his watch. This fight raises an interesting question. Fans and viewers know that Rengoku was inferior to Akaza in terms of strength, but it is also known that the difference between consecutive Upper Moon is also high. A potential fight between Rengoku and Hantengu, the Upper Moon 4 demon, would be interesting.
The clash itself is a wonderous flash of Kyojuro Rengoku’s Fire Breathing and Akaza’s Destructive Death techniques that highlights their strengths, but what s this fight especially poignant is their differing ideals. Akaza recognizes that Rengoku is powerful and tries to convince him to turn into a demon instead of being ed. Still, the Flame Hashira refuses, saying, “Growing old and dying is what gives meaning and beauty to the fleeting span of human life.”
Though the fight ends with Rengoku’s death and Akaza escaping the rising sun, Tanjiro s it a point to let the demon know that the victory belongs to the fallen Hashira. Rengoku dared to fight until the end, saving everyone regardless of the perceived weakness of humanity, while Akaza’s fear of the sun him to flee. Rengoku’s death and his final words profoundly affect Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu, and serve as a turning point for the young Demon Slayers.
