Katanas are one of the most striking elements of Kimetsu No Yaiba, also known as Demon Slayer o Guardians of the night. Each one has its own characteristics: colors, shapes and even effects thanks to the breaths of the demon slayers.
Mitsuri Kanroji, the Pillar of Love in Kimetsu No Yaiba, has one of the most striking and characteristic katanas along with Shinobu Kocho and Inosuke Hashibira. It is a weapon halfway between a sword and a whip, something that shows the great power of the pillar in areas such as flexibility and technique.

It is considered a difficult weapon to handle and master because of the obvious: there is a high probability of injuring oneself. Martial arts masters such as kalaripayattu reserve lessons in this weapon as one of the last steps in their disciples’ lessons.
Agility, flexibility, and relentless practice are required to gain control when using this weapon. Prasanna, a former student of Isha Samskriti, is a silver medalist at the Kalaripayattu national championship in Urumi. Here’s a look at a day of Prasanna training.
