Talk:Nichirin Sword/@comment-44763576-20200227185243

The kanji inscribed on a Nichirin Blade denotes rank: Tanjirou's new sword has the character metsu ("Destruction") because it was forged prior to the establishment of the Demon Slayer Corps' hierarchy. Haganezuka says that this is why only Pillars have the characters akki messatsu ("Destroy All Evil Demons") on their swords. Source: Chapter 129.

Sorry for reposting my comments like this, but my phone won't let me edit the article. So I hope someone sees (^^)

Also... I'm not sure if the source given for Kokushibo's Nichirin blade being purple is official? I was under the impression that the coloured versions of the manga that get posted to manga reader sites are fan-created & aren't a suitable wiki source. (Could be wrong though). Another commenter made a good point about Kokushibo's sword not being a Nichirin blade anymore as well. Perhaps change "Kokushibo" to "Tsugikuni Michikatsu" in the table?
