Akaza had many regrets. For one, not being able to protect his fiancée of whose face had wiped from his memory. And two, becoming a demon.

But that didn't matter anymore. He was greedy and filthy.

And as the final battle dragged on, his battle against Tanjiro and the water hashira became increasingly difficult.

Even if he was uppermoon three, he still had weaknesses.

He couldn't regenerate forever.

Akaza's head had been blown off.. but he still stood, refusing to die as he tried to regenerate his head again.

As he did so, he heard something.

His name being called... but it wasn't his. It wasn't Akaza or Uppermoon three..

It was a name he had loathed a name that he meant to forget.

The soft voice calling out was so... foreign... yet he knew it..
