the japanese portal Myjitsu shared an article pointing out that social networks began to point out that the sword of Mitsuri Kanrojithe Pillar of Love in the history of Kimetsu no Yaibais “extremely similar” to one shown in Rurouni Kenshinand some even dare to affirm that it is “a copy”.

«The fifth episode of the third season of the anime “Kimetsu no Yaiba” aired on May 7, and it seems that a variety of fans They began to point out on social networks that they noticed a copy of an element shown in the story of “Rurouni Kenshin”, another shonen story from Weekly Shonen Jump.».

«In the fifth episode, Mitsuri Kanroji, one of the highest ranking Demon Slayers within the entire conglomerate, rushed to the Blacksmith Village, which was being devastated by a demon attack. Arriving, she gracefully cut down all the demons that threatened the lives of the blacksmiths. Surprisingly though, the sword that the Pillar of Love uses was made with an extremely flexible material that made it look like a gymnastics ribbon.».

«One industry critic commented on it: “That sword is mentioned to be too similar to the “Hakujin no Tachi” of the character Sawagejo Cho in the “Rurouni Kenshin” story. This sword is very long and was made as thin as possible, with the goal that the wielder can control the direction in which the blade flies with a flick of the wrist. Usually Cho wears it hidden, around his waist under his clothes, and only uses it when his opponent proves worthy of it.».

«Leaving aside whether or not the sword design is original, it seems that fans had something to say regarding it: “I was watching Kimetsu no Yaiba, and suddenly the Hakujin no Tachi appeared“; “Wow, didn’t that sword appear in Rurouni Kenshin?“; “It looks like the type of sword that appeared in Rurouni Kenshin, I think even the movements are identical“; y “The sword of the Pillar of Love is a clear reference, or is it a direct copy? I don’t know, maybe at some point we’ll run into a double sword?».

«And the aforementioned critic continued: “However, said sword in “Kimetsu no Yaiba” did have inspirations from others in real life, such as the waist sword used in China and the Urumi from India. The impression is that the sword of “Rurouni Kenshin” is closer to that of China and that of “Kimetsu no Yaiba” is closer to that of India. Rather than being a copy, it seems that they were inspired by the same concept“. So, it seems that when some other franchise shows a similar concept in the future, fans will be divided between those that remind them of “Kimetsu no Yaiba” and those that remind them of “Rurouni Kenshin”.».
