Mist Hashira was a mystery to the readers since his debut. He remained aloof, and his air-headed conversation made no sense. But deep down, Muichiro was himself lost as he had no memory of his early life and could barely recall anything that gave him an identity.

Remember that boiling anger. [...] Even if I lose my memories, my body will remember that anger that will not leave me until I die. It's why I trained so hard that I vomited blood to destroy demons. And more... To eradicate them! ~ Muichiro Tokito

But as he faced Gyokko in the Swordsmith Village and almost lost his life, he suddenly recalled the horrifying truth about his family and the last moments of his twin brother. Those memories transformed Tokito and gave him a life purpose. As he awakened a Demon Slayer Mark simultaneously, the battle with Gyokko turned into a one-sided beatdown, revealing why the Mist Hashira was rated so highly. Each move was beautifully drawn, and the artwork perfectly captured Muichiro's unique talent.

I will stop your bleeding. Humans are so fragile. However... If you bleed to death... Or if his lordship doesn't approve of you... And you die... Then death was always your fate. In that case... You were no greater a man than that. Don't you... Agree? ~ Kokushibo to Muichiro Tokito

Akaza’s nonchalance and lack of remorse made the battle even more intense and pushed the combatants to their physical limits.
