Zenitsu and the mysterious letter
Agatsuma learns his mentor's frightening fate
- Anime: Section 62, entitled “Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima”
Ever since Zenitsu Agatsuma debuted, he has been very cowardly and annoying. As he improves dramatically as a fighter, his heroic remains the result of his subconscious programming and relentless training done under the watchful eyes of Jigoro Kuwajima. Even in Hashira Training Arc, Zenitsu causes unnecessary inconvenience and constantly complains about the hard workout.
Zenitsu, perfect it! It's okay to cry or go by yourself. Just never give up. Believe in yourself. You endured all the hell the training. You will be rewarded for it without a doubt. Work to create yourself as a hardened leaf … and become the most resistant of all! Focus on what you do best! ~ Jigoro kuwajima to zenitsu agatsuma
Everything changes when he receives a mysterious letter when he trains under Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima. At that time, the scene doesn't seem so serious. In fact, Zenitsu is busy with his usual discoveries, which hide the unfortunate nature of the message he is getting.
Through the mysterious letter, Agatsuma is informed that his mentor and former Thunder Hashira, Jigoro Kuwajima, committed Seppuku. As if this was not already horrible, Zenitsu also learns that the process was long and painful, as it turned out to be too difficult to cut off his mentor's head. In his last moments, Kuwajima endured unthinkable pain and suffering which he should have been implemented.
The butterfly effect of the letter directed to Zenitsu
Zenitsu was transformed as a fighter after Jigoro's death
After Zenitsu learned about Kuwajima's passing, he was understandably heartbroken. But instead of giving in for despair, he had an unexpected transformation that even surprised his close friends. Agatsuma stopped complaining about training or talking to someone. He isolated himself instead and focused on the goal he had set for himself.

Demon Slayer: 7 Best Zenitsu section, ranked
These are perhaps the best demon Slayer episodes that are focused on Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Interestingly, the letter also mentioned that Kuwajima committed Seppuku after learning that one of his disciples, named Kaigaku, had become a demon. This turned out to be an unbearable burden for him, and the former Thunder Hashira felt that death was preferable to living with the shameful storage room. Kaigaku continued to replace Gyutaro and Daki as the new Upper Moon Six.
Many years ago, when Zenitsu trained under Jigoro, Kaigaku used to ridicule him. So when he realized that the same bullying was responsible for the death of the only person who believed in him, Agatsuma was understandably frightened. Unlike the bullying, Zenitsu knew that he could not forgive Kaigaku this time and promised to take revenge.
Until you die, you haven't lost. You can rub your face in dirt … you can lose your home or drink muddy water … people can curse you for stealing money … but as long as you live on … you can win a day. You will win. I have progressed with that belief. ~ Kaigaku
In Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Trilogy will focus on a whole war between Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan's underlines. While most Hashira and other demon Slayers will fight in groups, Zenitsu will confront his arch enemy Kaigaku alone. The drive by a sense of revenge and sadness, Agatsuma will drive its old bullying to look for any sense of regret for their actions.
But Kaigaku, who has lived a life driven by self -preservation, will refuse to throw a single tear for his old mentor that led him when he needed it most. Jigoro's brutal death and the incredible motivation will drive Zenitsu beyond his tolerance, and a brutal battle will follow. While most fans are happy about the fights involving Akaza, Doma and Kokushibo in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Trilogy, Agatsuma's struggle with Kaigaku will be equally exciting. It will shape the war with Muzan Kibutsuji and has far -reaching consequences.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Trilogy's first payout is scheduled to be released in the US September 12, 2025.
