New Life

Ko Kamado

Ko Kamado is Kanao and Tanjiro's third child, and therefore the twins' little brother.

And yes, he too is a former pillar, to be precise, Muichiro Tokito, the pillar of mist, who died at the age of 14.

Muichiro is happy, not only because he has been reincarnated but also because his new father was Tanjiro, his old friend.

Of course, he was sad not to have been reincarnated with his twin brother, but his new siblings suited him completely. He knew them and respected their values.

He had a loving family and the demons had disappeared.

What's more, if Yuto and Himiko were to be believed, Kanroji and Rengoku had also been reincarnated. The icing on the cake was that they had become his cousins. What more could you ask for?

Ko was very happy, he really liked the two former pillars.

They had both always been very kind to him, even when he had amnesia.

According to Yuto, it was likely that the Hashibira triplets were Himejima, Shinazugawa and Iguro.

So, since Uzui was still alive, the eight remaining pillars would have been reincarnated.

With the Hashibira due to visit them soon, the three young Kamado would soon have their minds made up.

Muichiro had not initially believed Himiko and Yuto when they revealed to him that they were in fact Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka.

Which led to a rather comical scene if you looked at it from the outside.

While Himiko was trying to strangle Ko after receiving a thirteenth "No, that's not possible" in the face, Yuto was writing his memoirs to convince Muichiro.

Tanjiro and Kanao came into the room at this point and were puzzled to see the scene being played out.

The former Sun Breath adept burst out laughing, while his wife went to separate Shinobu and Muichiro.

-Ko! Come here!

His mother's voice snapped the former pillar out of the haze of his memories.

Kanao Kamado had put on her best kimono. From the smile on her face, her son could tell that the forthcoming visit filled her with joy. Clearly it was Aoi's visit she was looking forward to more than Inosuke's.

Muichiro smiled; if his mother was happy, so was he.

Then he went to join his brother and sister, who, to his great surprise, looked like a funeral.

-Aren't you happy to see the others again?" asked Ko as he sat down next to them.

Himiko glowered at him.

-It's not that," sighed Yuto. It's not that," sighed Yuto, "but... You know Shinazugawa and Iguro. With them, you can be sure that the happy little visit that fills all the adults with joy will quickly degenerate.

-True, but Iguro, or whatever his name is now, will be happy when we tell him that Mitsuri has also been reincarnated.

-I hope so," muttered Shinobu dully. We'll just have to pray that he stops Shinazugawa from making a scene.

-Himejima will also be there, Giyu informed. I think he'll be able to calm things down.

-Basically, we can only go on guessing," Himiko snapped, jumping to her feet. Imagine him betraying us by shouting! Goodbye, quiet life.

Her two brothers remained silent, they hadn't imagined this hypothesis. What's more, neither of them was certain that the reaction of the Kamado and Hashibira would be in their favour. And finally, if any of the adults thought hard enough, they would realise that Maemi and Fujie Agatsuma were in fact Mitsuri Kanroji and Kyojuro Rengoku. The poor things would suffer the butterfly effect through their own fault, well, Shinazugawa's fault.

The latter surely couldn't bear to learn that Tomioka had been reincarnated as his elder and that he owed him respect.

All the pillars knew that Shinazugawa hated his colleague because of his famous phrase "I'm not like you". An explosion on his part was therefore to be expected.

And none of the three young Kamado wanted to suffer the consequences.
