The Demon Slayer anime has captivated the audience with its charming stories and characters, one of which is Hantengu. As one of the Twelve Moon Demons, he has a mysterious charm and unique strength. In this article, we will dig deeper into interesting facts and reveal the secrets behind Hantengu, who is one of the most complex characters in Demon Slayer.

1. Upper Moon Ranks 4 Who Becomes the Main Villain

Hantengu is a villain that will accompany Demon Slayer or Kimetsu No Yaiba season 3, or to be precise in the Swordsmith Village arc. He is not just any ordinary demon, because in fact Hantengu is one of the top moon demons ranked 4. His strength is still below Akaza as a top 3 moon demon. However, Hantengu's strength is certainly above Gyokko and Gyutaro and Daki, top moon demons rank 5 and 6.

2. Doesn't Characterize as an Upper Moon

The upper moon demon and the lower moon demon are included as the 12 Muzan’s ace demons. But both have significant differences. For a lower moon demon he only has 1 eye engraved with Japanese kanji, the kanji of his rank. Then for the upper moon demons it consists of 2, one explaining the upper moon and another ranking. Interestingly, Hantengu does not display these traits, but these traits are present in his clones.

3. Has a General Demon Form

Apart from Gyokko being the upper moon who has a strange and abstract form, Hantengu also has a strange form, the shape of an old man and a big lump on his head. Even though Hantengu's form is strange, in fact this form is a form that is quite accurate, the same as the demon form that many people see in movies or books. Right with the two horns, red eyes, and a big bump on the shape of an old man.

4. A Scaredy Cat

It can be judged that Hantengu is the most cowardly demon among the other demons. Even so afraid of him, it's not surprising that in almost every appearance he sometimes cries incoherently. But the strange thing is, Hantengu as a cowardly demon can even become part of the upper moon demons, even with rank 4 he can defeat Gyokko and Gyutaro and Daki. The reason Hantengu can be strong as an upper moon, clearly comes from other emotions that he never showed when he was human.

5. Create Clones According to His Emotions

It should be noted, Hantengu is indeed a cowardly demon, but he is a powerful demon. The reason he's strong is because Hantengu really relies on his ability to clone himself according to his emotions. This ability is the demon blood art technique "emotion manifestation", namely the ability to divide himself into several demonic figures with their own abilities, be it electricity, flying, wind, and so on.

6. Continue to Clone Himself But in a Weak Condition

Hantengu can create clones of himself, such as Sekido (anger), Karaku (pleasure), Urogi (joy), and Aizetsu (sadness). All of them have their own weapons and techniques that are different from one another. Even if one of them splits in any part, in fact they can still regenerate their limbs. Even the interesting fact is that even from a split limb they can still control the part but that is in a condition that is not too strong.

7. His Real Body Is the Coward One

There is a reason why the 4 emotion clones created from the Hantengu demon blood technique cannot be killed and continuously regenerate. The reason is because the four of them are not real Hantengu demons. Hantengu has a real body that is cowardly and often cries, so to beat him is to slash Hantengu's head. But of course it's not easy, because the real Hantengu has a small body and can hide his presence.

8. The Four Emotions Unite to Become Stronger

When his four clones were not strong enough to defeat the enemy, Hantengu was able to unite the four clones into one. This change turned everyone into a figure called Zohakuten, aka clones with hate from Sekido. Zohakuten can be said to be the true embodiment of the upper moon demon, that's because he has the power of a demonic technique that combines everything and makes him able to manipulate the power of wood.

9. Has the Same Urami Clone as Zohakuten

The hateful nature of Hantengu would create Zohakuten, but it's a demonic figure formed from the amalgamation of other emotions. So actually Hantengu also has emotional changes related to hatred, this figure is called Urami. Urami has the same form as the original Hantengu, in which Urami will be formed from the hatred of the punished Hantengu even though he feels he has done nothing wrong. This figure would usually appear when Hantengu was cornered.

10. Never Knew His True Identity

When he was still a human, Hantengu, who was already a coward, turned out to have committed various crimes. He is a coward and does not want to be blamed is always on the run to avoid being blamed or punished for him. This is ultimately related to the identity he hides, such as his real name, age and background. As a result, he has many identities, so that it makes him forget his true self.

11. Have Been Married Several Times and Have Children

Before becoming a demon, it turns out that Hantengu was married several times and had children. It's a shame his marriage didn't last, because he felt betrayed and killed his wife and children, especially when he was angry. The broken marriage was continued by Hantengu by remarrying several times, until in the end he was arrested and sentenced to death for his various crimes. While imprisoned, Muzan appears to help him turn himself into a devil.

12. Often Lying

Because Hantengu is cowardly, it must have had an impact on his character who will run away when he is wrong. From his mistakes, Hantengu will also be inclined to lie so that he is safe and not snared by punishment. His lies continued as long as he was human, so that it made his life gloomy and there were many lies from what he made.

13. Killed by Tanjiro

As a rank 4 upper moon demon, then Hantengu isn't a weak demon. So to defeat him, many strong characters are needed, such as Tanjiro, Nezuko, Genya, and one thing for sure, there is one hashira, a love hashira named Kanroji Mitsuri. The four demon hunters will work together to defeat Hantengu, but it will be Tanjiro who will kill Hantengu in his true body. That's because Tanjiro knows that the real Hantengu is inside Urami's body.

14. Successfully Delivered Important Information Muzan Was Looking For

Even though Tanjiro manages to kill Hantengu, it's a shame Tanjiro doesn't know that Hantengu has already provided the information that Muzan really wants, the demon's immunity to the sun. This information contains information about Nezuko who has managed to survive in the sun, so that makes Muzan happy and proud of Hantengu.

15. His Voice Actor is Toshio Furukawa

The original Hantengu, who will enliven Demon Slayer season 3, has been voiced by seiyuu Toshio Furukawa. Toshio Furukawa himself is a voice actor and actor born in 1946. He started his career as an actor in 1972, and only then was he better known for filling various anime character roles. Examples include the character Piccolo in Dragon Ball, the character Portgas D.
