History
The Demon Slayer Corps (鬼き殺さつ隊たい Kisatsutai?) was an organization of demon hunters that operated in Japan for thousands of years.
A group of Demon Slayers were dispatched to eliminate demonic activity at Natagumo Mountain (那な田た蜘ぐ 蛛も山やま Natagumo yama?) where the majority were taken control of by the Mother Spider Demon. She caused them to turn on each other thus killing the majority of their ranks. A summons was then went for further Mizunoto to reinforce their ranks.
Overview
In appearance, the Corps consisted of humans that had been trained to fight and slay demons.
Recruits were required to pass the Final Selection exam that was a test to determine their skill to join the Corps. This involved the examinees having to survive for seven days on a mountain top that was infested with demons. Those taking part had to do so without any outside aid and those that failed were simply killed by the demons inhabiting the area. Upon completion, the recruits were provided their uniform that was made of a highly durable yet light weight fabric that was resistant to damage from lower ranking Demons. Furthermore, they were asked to choose the material for their weapons with this being used to fashion their Nichirin blades. Finally, they were also provided a Kasugai crow that relayed orders and other communication to the Demon Slayer.
A number of the Demon Slayers were taught unique breath styles that were techniques used to allow them to perform their missions more efficiently.
The distinctive weapons of the Corps were the Nichirin Blades (日にち輪りん刀とう Nichirin tou?) that were created from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Crimson Ore that was located on high mountains. It was said that the ore absorbed sunlight which was the primary weakness of Demons and thus it was seen as the only weapon able to kill such creatures. These distinctive blades were also known as 'Color Changing Swords' due to them adopting a color associated with their wielder.
They were known to use Wisteria within their arsenal as this was poisonous to demons. It could be used to create areas to ward away demons or be given as a talisman to protect someone from a demon.
The area around Fujikasane Mountain was part of the Corps territory and was the site of their Final Selection exam. The region was filled with Wisteria flowers that bloomed every season from the mountain's foot to its slope. It was used as a place to imprison demons that were used to test recruits. The flowers prevented the demons from escaping the mountain and left them trapped there thus making them tools for testing new inductees into the Demon Slayers ranks.
