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.

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.
