Hello again dear readers! I'm sorry for the long wait. The fact that I currently has a test for job appliance in my country plus internal family affairs make me has some writer block.

At last we're going to the last recruitment chapters before Universe 3, that of course I still waiting the vote for it. Here's the current vote so far:

-Keep DxD: Darkbeast42, roggerlopez99, 5 Guests (2 Guests, Joe, TheKingdom, Rogger Shadow) [Total: 7]

-Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic: Mr. NInja21, 3 Guests (2 Guests, Condor) [Total: 4]

-Date A Live: baraka108, 3 Guests [Total: 4]

-Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry: [Total: 0]

-Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Guest, Mr. Ninja21 [Total: 2]

For all of you to know, I already count the vote as fair as possible and as you can see, seems DxD is the one that lead. After Universe 3 Recruitment, I want quickly goes to the training chapter plus the adding 3 substitute warriors for each universes that I already said on the first chapter.

This chapter will explore the recruitment of Universe 12: Kimetsu no Yaiba which said was one of the best Anime of the decade although in my opinion it's not that great in term of story, since there's another Anime with better story and pacing according to me. Even so, it's power is interesting but I can't help but wonder how hax the five main characters is. Sorry for my rant though, it's just my opinion nevertheless it's also my favorite due to its vampiric-themed stories.

Without further words, enjoy the chapter! This work joint by Raptor10.

Chapter 9

Unforgivable!

(Universe 12 God of Destruction Planet)

Universe 12 is called the Ultimate Universe for nothing. Like it's epithet, it houses mortals with quite not make sense ability, in contrast to Universe 1 that have great balance of good and evil plus the ability to use an technique named Haki. And because of it, Giin plan to use to his great advantage with the universe version of earth.

Martinu is known that the Universe 12 Earth always on the watchful eyes of both Giin and Agu, because it have the greatest chance to rebel against the rule of deities if they ever known and even rebelled against Zen-Oh. That's also with the fact that Zen-Oh keep watchful eye of them since time-travel all begins within it, with Zen-Oh immediately erase the advanced civilization that created it to prevent someone plays with time. It's not like that Giin care about the mortals in that planet, but it's because it have a very black and white view about killing. While what he heard on lower-rank universe like Universe 2, Universe 7, Universe 5, Universe 8, Universe 9, and even from Universe 1 even not have that kind of views. Sighing, the attendant then decided to speak up. "Giin-sama, is our Earth is on your mind once again?" She asked.

Giin then glanced at his attendant. "Yes. Our universe… Despite our second highest mortal level, is known because our advanced technology that rival those of Universe 3. We don't really have particularly strong fighters… Except on there. The problem is… How black & white the views of killing or evil in there. Here I thought I give the blue spider lily in there was a great idea so an evil can come and change the black and white views on there. But instead… Why it can't go like the other universes!? Because I've heard that Universe 2 has a mortal that do that kinds of thing."

"It's called naivety Giin-sama." Martinu said to him. "However for some reasons, I like that kind of people. Always looks into the good of villains behind the pile of sins they have committed. Because in fact, the world isn't black and white, between it there's shades of grey."

"I know of that already Martinu." Giin nod to his attendant. "But still… Did I really have no other choice but to recruit warriors from there? Not to mention… Sometimes in that planet, spirits of the dead are intervene with the world of the living. I must give the god that judge souls in there some little chat after this."

"That or our universe will be doomed for not sending any warriors and also… We must not waste ten days range for something trivial Giin-sama. Punishment for him can wait later. We must quickly recruit warriors from there as soon as possible." Martinu advised.

Sigh, Giin then goes to the Universe 12 Kaioshin Realm along with Martinu.


(Universe 12 Kaioshin Realm – Agu's Room)

Agu is seen watching Gowasu's channel in Godtube about the recent mortal activity on Universe 10 when Giin and Martinu suddenly appeared in his room.

"Oh my Giin-sama, did you already find the alternative for our representative besides our universe's earth?" Agu asked. Like his fellow deities, he had some doubt recruiting someone from that planet.

"We have no choice anymore Agu. Either we didn't choose team and being erase from existence, or we'll perform poorly due to lack of training and ashamed ourselves to the other universes." Giin reasoned.

"Well I can agree on that. That planet has strong warriors called Demon Slayers that exterminate Oni that's created because of our blue spider lily in the first place. I must say… That I was sorry for the humans in Japan, because for one thousand years… a mortal named Muzan Kibutsuji becoming immortal and become arrogant just because of the blue spider lily that actually belong to this realm after he killed my apprentice and thinks himself already reaches the realm of the gods. It's a relief that a boy named Tanjiro Kamado managed to put an end to his reign of terror." Agu said, agreeing with Giin's decision.

"That's the problem Agu. For others, maybe we can recruit them despite some arguments but I bet that this Tanjiro is the one that's hardest to convince. He's have such morals that for him, taking a life is consider to be unforgiveable. Not just him, but the entire Demon Slayers as well. Hump, and here they also kill Oni. I wonder if they're not a group of hypocrite." Giin explain.

"However, we can use his high morals and kindness to our advantage. No need to worry about he knows about our thoughts. I already make sure that he along with Demon Slayers that have sharpened senses can't read our thoughts, emotion, and others despite of what they see." Martinu assured his god.

"I'm glad then. That's something I don't like if someone just able to enter someone's thoughts without their permission." Giin huffed. "Well then. Let's waste no time and immediately recruit whoever we can from there and hopefully… We can convince Tanjiro Kamado to join our cause."

"Let's go then." Agu said as he along with Martinu and Giin travels to Universe 12's Earth.


(Universe 12 Earth – Japan)

It's been two months since Muzan Kibutsuji and his Twelve Demon Moons is finally taken down after thousand years of struggles by the Demon Slayer Corps. After a hard struggle, they finally able to enjoy the peace that Oni are finally gone from Japan. But for them, they must be ready for a new war: struggle on the real world.

On the Butterfly Estate, Tanjiro Kamado is seen conversing with Kanao Tsuyuri about the reasons why's the snake of the late Snake Pillar chosen her as her new master. Kanao currently also prays for her master. Currently, Zenitsu is along with Nezuko buying some supplies while Inosuke is training in the training room of the estate.

Tanjiro Kamado is a muscular young man of average height with fairly tanned skin and an athletic physique. He has ruffled, black hair with burgundy tips, combed back to expose his forehead, and wide, dark red eyes with white pupils that appear lighter around the lower section of his irises. He also has a scar on the top left of his forehead, which he received when he protected his younger brother from a falling brazier. The scar originally looked somewhat like a graze until his fight with the Hand Demon during the Final Selection, after which it develops into a flame-like pattern as his Demon Slayer Mark. It is noted that his hands are visibly rougher for someone his age. He also wears a distinct pair of hanafuda earrings, with the image of the rising sun over a mountain. Tanjiro wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform, a dark-brown gakuran jacket, a white belt, baggy pants that extend into tabi socks, a pair of zōri with red straps, and bands of white cloth wrapped tightly around his calves resembling Kyahan, all beneath his signature checkered haori. After returning to his human form when he turn into an Oni by Muzan during their final battle, Tanjiro loses the ability to see from his right eye, the iris of which is now a dull pink-gray color and the pupil black rather than its original white. His left arm, which he regrew as an Oni, now takes the appearance of that which an older person may have, becoming wrinkled and skeletal, and he loses all feeling in it below the elbow and thus the ability to move it from his forearm down.

Kanao Tsuyuri is a young girl with large, gentle eyes of a pink-lilac color that are framed by thick eyelashes. She has thin black hair, worn tied into a ponytail on the right side of her head and fastened by a pink and green butterfly ornament. She has a straight fringe and two loose, chin-length strands that curve downwards from above each of her ears. Kanao wears a slightly purple-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, just with a knee-length pleated skirt in place of the usual hakama pants. Over this, she wears a short white cloak, fastened on one side by a dark pink triple knot, also sporting knee-high lace-up white boots with tan soles, heels and toes. After her battle with Doma, Kanao also loses the ability to see out of her right eye due to her using Flower Breathing's final form to take out the Upper Rank, with her eye gaining a defined pupil with a dark ring around it and becoming deprived of its gradient.

"Look at Sakura Tree at the time like this is beautiful!" Tanjiro said with happy tone.

"Uh-huh." Kanao closed her eyes while smiling, agreeing to Tanjiro. "The first user of the Flower Breathing is the one that planted this tree. That's why; I'll give the name "Victory" for this tree." She declared.

"That's cool." Tanjiro agreed.

"I want to tell this tree… That we're finally achieved our victory." Kanao said with a smile.

As Tanjiro is about to reply, suddenly Giin, Agu, and Martinu appear on the scene. Giin then looks at the sakura tree while smiling, since he's known to plant many trees on his planet. "What a beautiful tree. I wonder if I can move it to my planet as a part of my garden." He mused to himself with a grin.

Tanjiro and Kanao immediately shocked, as they even didn't sense the presence of the three deities despite Tanjiro's heightened sense of smell. Both of them immediately turn to face the deity, that appears much like an Oni rather than human.

'What the!? Impossible! If they're standing behind us all the time I can sense their presence but… I can't sense anything from them, not even their emotion and thought! Moreover… their pressure is very high. Not even Muzan emitting this kind of power! Who're these three exactly!?' Tanjiro thought in panic and confusion since this is the first time his heightened senses of smell fails him. Nevertheless, from their expression, he immediately knows that the three of them posed no threat.

"Greetings Kamado-san, Tsuyuri-san. Before you become suspicious about us we must said that the three of us didn't have any bad intentions by coming here." Martinu assured both of them.

"And why'd we must trust that?" Kanao slightly narrowed her eyes, worried about the presence of these three strangers. Ever since her battle against Douma, she's braver to show what her hearts thought.

"Don't Kanao-chan! I trust that these three didn't have any bad intentions toward us! If they have, the three of them already assault us by then!" Tanjiro immediately stand in front of Kanao, protecting her.

"Tanjiro…"

"I see that you really like Agu said to me Tanjiro Kamado, a pure soul without any speck of darkness in it. However, don't you ever dare lump us on the same ground as that Muzan. He really such a brat. Only living for a mere one thousand year and already thought he already reaches the realm of god because of it." Giin said with a slightly offended tone.

"Mere one thousand year? What're you exactly?" Tanjiro demanded.

"I'm what you mortal known as deity. In other words, we're the one that run orders in this universe. My name is Giin." Giin introduced himself. 'Tch. This is annoying. I can't tell him that my job is to destroy thing in order to preserve balance between good and evil. From what I've heard from Agu, this brat hate someone who's take lives of innocent no matter what reason while he's a good judge of character. I must keep my conversation in order.' He inwardly thought. "We… The god come here because we have a request for you, Demon Slayers."

"Request?" Tanjiro a little baffled with the Hakaishin's word.

"Sorry. Let me interpret what Giin-sama means. Before that, I'm Martinu the attendant of Giin-sama and the other one is Agu-sama." Martinu decides to take the conversation. "What he means is, we want to meet with your leader, because although we need your help for something, we still need your leader's permission to do so."

It's not hard for Kanao to write a letter via her Kasugai Crow to be deliver to the Ubuyashiki's Estate. Although it takes some time, the current leader, Kiriya Ubuyashiki allows the three deities to meet him on the estate.


The scene now takes in the meeting room of the Ubuyashiki Estate. Giin, along with Agu and Martinu now stand facing Kiriya along with his twin sisters, Kuina Ubuyashiki and Kanata Ubuyashiki.

Kiriya has light, pale skin and large eyes. He has the same hairstyle as the rest of his siblings; a blunt bob with a fringe covering his eyebrows, colored black. He wears a black kimono with a long white haori that's reminiscent of his late father, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

Kanata has pale, light skin and a set of large, dark eyes. Her hair is shaped into a blunt white bob haircut similar to the rest of her siblings. She adorns an elongated wisteria headpiece on the right side of her head as opposed to the left side like her brother. She wears a black obi.

Kuina has features similar to the rest of her family, light, pale skin with a set of large eyes. She wears a white blunt bob with fringe covering her eyes. Kuina is usually seen wearing a purple, flower-patterned kimono like her twin sister. She adorns her hair with a short flower headpiece with two beads hanging off it.

"Before we began, allow me to welcome the three of you, deities of Universe 12." Kiriya said as he bows to the three deities along with his sisters. "As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, may I ask what reason that you need our assistance?"

"Well this will take a long time my child since among other planet in Universe 12, this planet is the most primitive in knowledge." Agu is the one that speak. "But first, can you promise not be surprised? Because I bet it's something that none of you able to bear after hearing it." He said as he began to explain the Tournament of Power and it's consequences to the lower rank universes.

After hearing such horrible thing, Kiriya tried his best to hide his shock but even those with early train in adulthood such as he and his sisters can't hide it. What a horrid atrocities this Zen-Oh tried to commit. This makes him even worse than Muzan Kibutsuji. Lucky that he didn't allow any of the remaining Hashira or Tanjiro and his friends inside, since they'll lash out without a doubt if they hear about this. But he's relief that the wish for the winner is free and has no restrictions at all. "T-That's…"

"I know it's hard to believe but that's the truth. Even though our universe is safe from that penalty, we'll be erased if we didn't gather ten warriors in ten days. Because of it, we want your permission Ubuyashiki-san… To permit us for recruiting dead Hashira for our team." Martinu support.

"Recruiting… Dead Hashira…" Kiriya couldn't believe what he just heard. Does that mean that they will defile their grave?

"No need to worry. I know very well how mortals in your organization seem view dead as something beautiful. We just recruit them for ten days till' the Tournament of Power is ended. After that, they want to return dead or be alive again is up to them and we won't force it." Giin pressed. "So what do you say, leader of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Kiriya then went silent for a moment. He knows that Zen-Oh act is unforgivable. However, like other eleven universes, he needs to decide what the most important thing is first: That's the safety of Universe 12. Steeling his resolve, he then look intently at the three deities. "Okay then. We, the Demon Slayer Corps accepting your request. But I have a request of my own. Please… If they didn't want to join this deadly game of your highest ruler… Don't force them." He pleaded.

Giin clench his fists. 'What does he meant by that!? If somehow the one that disagree to join is the strong one… Our chance to win is small and I have some uneasy feelings that Zen-Oh-sama rate our performance despite the top four universes won't be erase from existence!' He thought, dissatisfied by the plea but he must respect it in order to have good terms with the Demon Slayer Corps. "Very well. We'll agree with your condition. The reason I said that because when I see the remaining ones… Seems they suffered serious injuries."

"Hai. It's only two months ago that we manage to take down Muzan Kibutsuji, the sources of all Oni that ravages Japan for a thousand year. As results, Demon Slayer Corps lose more than three quarter of their combat force, with even our strongest swordsman, the Hashira, only leaves two person that's still alive." Kiriya explained as brief as he can about the final battle.

"For that problem, I can heal them without worry Ubuyashiki-san." Martinu assured him.

"I see. Then wait for a moment. I'll call those that available on the mansion." Kiriya agreed as he order his sisters to call for the Demon Slayers that currently on the estate.


The scene then skips where Tanjiro and Kanao along with three new person sit face to face with Kiriya while Giin, Martinu, and Agu are sitting on the left side of the room. It's an immediate call after all so not all members of the Demon Slayer Corps can come in time.

The first is a tall young man of a muscular stature and pale complexion, who is seen wearing a serious and emotionless expression. He has unruly shoulder length black hair and his bangs fall over his eyes in an uneven fringe. His eyes are sharp and moderately large, their irises a deep sapphire that fades to a lighter blue and their pupils a bluish-black, and are framed by thin eyebrows. He wears a dark cyan-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform with buttoned white leg-wrapped kyahan and a pair of white zōri with dark blue straps, the socks underneath the same cyan color as his uniform. Over this, Giyu wears a haori that's split down the middle into two different patterns: the right one a solid red and the left one geometrically patterned with squares of green, orange, and yellow. He also appears to lose his right arm. This man is Giyu Tomioka, the current Water Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps and among the few Hashira that survives the final battle against Muzan.

The second is a tall, muscular, and slender man with spiky white hair and large eyes. His face and body are covered with scars, accrued over his many years of fighting Oni. He wears a green-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, unbuttoned to expose his chest and abs with a white long sleeved shirt over it with the kanji for kill etched on the back, white buckles around his shins and tabi socks with a pair of white zōri with green straps. Like Giyu who sustains injuries due to the final battle, he appears to lose his right index finger and his right middle finger. This man is Sanemi Shinazugawa, the current Wind Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps and like Giyu is among the few Hashira that survives the final battle against Muzan.

The last one is a young man of average height and pale complexion with an extremely toned and muscular build for his age, possessing large, defined muscles most notably over his stomach and arms. In sharp contrast to this, he has an incredibly pretty and feminine face, with large, wide eyes that are framed by an array of long eyelashes, their irises a dark to soft pale green, thin eyebrows and what could be a small, well-mannered mouth. His thick, black hair reaches just past his shoulders, fading into blue at the tips and forming an unruly and uneven fringe that falls just above his eyes, puffing out before curving and thinning towards his forehead. He wears his altered version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, which consists only of the baggy hakama pants, his tinted a dark gray-blue, which he fastens around his hips with a thick belt of fluffy brown animal fur. He does not wear a haori. The usual cloth leg-wraps are replaced with what appears to be knee-high socks of a furry hide which expose his heels and toes, which also appear to be what fastens the sandal-bases he wears on his feet. This man is Inosuke Hashibira, one of Tanjiro's usual companions on mission alongside Zenitsu and the user of the Beast Breathing.

The Demon Slayers that's called into the room are sitting while look with respect at Kiriya and his sisters.

Kiriya then begin his speech. "I'm glad that despite the fast summoning, there are other three Demon Slayer that's able to come besides Tanjiro and Kanao. Then without further talking. I'll immediately explain everything, including our three mysterious visitors over here. Giin-sama. Agu-sama. Martinu-sama. The three of them are the deities of our world that protect it from harm."

"Before you're angry at us for not helping you mortal in a fight against Muzan, let me confirm one thing first. There's other… More dangerous than that freak god-wannabe in this universe." Giin explain in rather rude tone.

"What did you just said?" Sanemi quickly rise to anger as he heard this. "Do you know how many innocents died for thousand years because of your ignorance!"

"And do you think we only watch this planet? There's thousands of civilizations besides this planet on this universe. Just because we're god that doesn't mean we can always watch this planet because our responsibility is millions of lives." Agu argued.

"Why-"

"Please don't blame him Shinazugawa-san." Tanjiro suddenly speak up, defending the Kaioshin of Universe 12. "I can see sincerity in his tone. What he said is the truth."

"Huh. And here I thought you hate that innocents being killed." Sanemi huffed.

"Now however is the important part of the reason we came here and ask your help. Ten days from now, a tournament will be held between 12 universes in existence and the one that held it is the strongest god that rules the entire 12 universes, Zen-Oh-sama. However, it's the consequences of it that's the most terrifying." Martinu then begin to explain about the Tournament of Power and its consequences for the lower-rank universe and for the upper-rank universes if they didn't manage to gather team in time.

All of the remaining Demon Slayers that's inside the room have a cold face after hearing Martinu's explanation. Eight of twelve existing universes erased just because of them being low-rank? What a cold-hearted god this Zen-Oh. Suddenly, the participants of the room sensing that Tanjiro emitting some kind of hidden anger after hearing the revelation. 'This Zen-Oh… He really want to erased the eight universes just because some childish reason! He's unforgiveable!' He thought in anger.

"Oi Oi! Isn't that too much!?" Inosuke finally speaks in his usual tone. "Although the tournament sounds interesting!"

"Inosuke." Kanao lightly scold him before narrowed her eyes at Martinu. 'I… I can't sense any lies from her words. She's being serious. Means this Zen-Oh isn't joking about this.'

"What the!? Who does he think he is just because he's called the god of all! He has no right to play with innocents like this!" Sanemi as expected quickly roared in anger.

"He can erase… an entire universe…" Giyu however had a shocked expression on his face.

Sensing the anger in Tanjiro, Giin quickly huffed. "Before any of you pissed off because you thought Zen-Oh-sama is the same as that pathetic Muzan that you always chased: Cool you head off first! The other lower-rank universes becomes like that because of their own fault! Take Universe 7 for example. The one that proposes this deadly tournament though be the one that saved all of the universes from immediate erasure by Zen-Oh-sama, is actually just crave for a good fight despite my fellow God of Destruction claims that he has pure heart. If you're pissed because of such decision… Then your view is really black and white like I suspected." He proclaimed.

"What do you mean? I can see that you're hiding something from us. Something that we should know." Kanao observed.

"Zen-Oh-sama and his attendant Grand Priest-sama… Sometimes they way of thinking surpasses every living being. Even us fellow deities sometimes hard to understand their intentions, in particular this decision of theirs." Agu replied.

"I know that you maybe have negative views on those who easily throws the lives of one another but every seconds before the tournament begin is very decisive because at yours current condition, there's no way that all of you can compete with the warriors from the other universes. Therefore, as our sign of goodwill-" Raising her staff, Martinu restore the health of the disabled Demon Slayers, in particular Tanjiro, Giyu, Sanemi, and Kanao. "-Is this enough?"

'W-What's happened?' Tanjiro then look at his supposedly disabled left arm due to Muzan's attack and later realized that his right eye is able to see clearly once again.

The same is happen to Kanao. Her supposedly blind right eye is able to see clearly again. "I-I can see from my right eye…" She mumbling in happiness.

Giyu also shock find that his severed right arm is grow back in place. He however doesn't express it with words.

"W-What the hell!?" Sanemi find that his three of his fingers also grow back once again. "Th-This is not some kind of trickery!?"

"We deity can heal any kind of injuries as long as we wanted to. Now then, I suggest that the five of you will follow and help us in the Tournament of Power?" Martinu asked with a smile.

"Of course." Giyu is the first one to agree. He can't find any way out of this after all.

"THERE'S NO WAY I'LL NOT JOIN! THAT ZEN-OH & EVERY OTHER FIGHTER IN THE ARENA! I'LL SHOW THEM WHO'S-" Inosuke want to continue his ranting before Sanemi smacked him comically in the head.

"Shut up you brat!" Sanemi yelled at him before look toward the deities in watchful gaze. "I don't know what you mean by this horrifying decision by this so-called God of All. If there are some hidden intention in this then I'll gladly join to see if he really deserve his title as the God of All."

"I really not sure about this, however." Kanao then thought about her deceased adopted sisters, Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho. "My sisters leave me with something to protect in here & I don't want to let it waste because of some horrid decision. I'll follow the Tournament of Power!"

The one that didn't answer is only Tanjiro. The inheritor of the Sun Breath take a breath in and out repeatedly two times in order to calm his emotion first before look firmly at the deities. "Giin-sama, Martinu-sama, Agu-sama. Before I voiced my decision to join the Tournament of Power or not, allow me to speak up first." He then slightly narrows his eyes. "No matter what reason Zen-Oh-sama pulls off stunt like this, erasing innocent lives because of a simple reason like that is wrong! Because of it, even if Zen-Oh-sama somehow retracts his decisions of erasing other low-rank universes… I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HIM!" He screams with conviction.

Agu is in deep thought after hearing Tanjiro's proclamation. 'Compare to Son Goku who's also pure-hearted, Tanjiro seems even purer… So pure that he brave to voice his opinion out in the open.' He thought while glad that there's kind heart-maybe too kind heart mortal in his universe. But he must straighten up the consequences of it first. "While I appreciate what you just say Tanjiro-san, I suggest you never said that kind of things in front of Zen-Oh-sama. One wrong word and it will doomed not only yours but other universes as well." He advised.

Tanjiro just nod, didn't reply the Kaioshin advice since in his eyes it still wrong to play with the lives of the innocent for such reason.

"Now then to the next topic. As you know that Tournament of Power lasts for 96 minutes ten days from now with ten warriors from each universe must be present on the field. Ubuyashiki-san already gives it his permission and now I want to say it to all of you. We'll recruit three of deceased Hashira and two high-ranks Oni from the otherworld as a part of our team. Before all of you complaining, remember that this tournament is not the time for personal problems or moral. Other universes without a doubt will recruit any type of warriors, from benevolent one to the most evil one in order to survive except the four top universes. Because of that, I need all of you consent first before tried to recruiting them." Martinu explained.

"I know that all of you also disagree with this, but based on the written of our last battle inside Muzan Dimensional Infinite Fortress, I've heard there are two Upper Moons that are rather humble despite being loyal to Muzan Kibutsuji. If they're heard about the Tournament of Power, I can predict that they'll be more than happy to join the tournament." Kiriya reasoned.

"And if both of them decided to rebel no need to worry. As a Hakaishin, I can kill any living beings with ease even if that happens to be Muzan of all people." Giin assured them.

Sanemi then hold his head in annoyance. "Ugh… This complicated thing is too much to take." He complained.

"If there's no other way, I have no right to reject it as long you can put those two Upper Moons under control." Giyu agreed.

Tanjiro, Kanao, and Inosuke just silent, apparently they didn't accept that two Upper Moons that mercilessly kills hundreds of innocent will be join the team in order to represent their universe in front of the god of all, considers each of them have personal grudge against Muzan's elite team.

"I'll take that as a yes. Now for the three among the deceased Hashira that we'll recruit, who's in all of your opinion will be fit to join the tournament?" Martinu asked.

Giyu immediately answered. "I think if we want to win this tournament, the one that we'll choose is three that'll prove useful. For one of them, I think Shinobu Kochou, the deceased Insect Hashira will be a great addition for our team. She's known for her speed among the Hashira and expert of poison and stuff. The other two however, let the other decide it."

Sanemi is silent for a moment, before speaking. "For the second, I think Mitsuri Kanroji will be perfect. She has the muscle strength eight times the strength of a regular human plus her Breath Style is rather tricky to be easily read. As for the last one, I think to recruit Muichiro Tokitou."

"Tokitou-san?" Tanjiro then speak up after hearing the Mist Hashira being mentioned. "I'm sorry Shinazugawa-san but-"

"No but. I already witness Muichiro's willpower and it's not something to be taken lightly. Plus, we'll need him to put one of the Upper Moon in control." Sanemi quickly reasoned, putting Tanjiro's argument off.


(Universe 12 Hell)

Deep in Hell, Upper Moon One, Kokushibo or formerly known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni is still on his own thought. Even after two months since the final battle ended, he can't erase this thought that's emerge after he sees his own horrible transformation. Kokushibo took the form of a pale-skinned, tall and muscular man with long and spiky hair with red tips that he kept in a ponytail. His most notable feature is the three sets of eyes on his face with red sclera and yellow irises. His middle set of eyes featured the kanji of Upper Rank and One, and red markings resembling flames were seen on his face and neck. He wore a purple-and-black bee-hive patterned nagagi kimono and black umanori-styled hakama pants tied with a white cloth. As a soul of the dead, he has Halo on the top of his head.

'I could never grab hold of anything. Anything at all. I abandoned my home. I abandoned my wife and children. I abandoned my humanity. I cut down my descendants and abandoned being a samurai. But even all that wasn't enough? You said that those who master their paths all reach the same place. But I never did. I could not see the same world that you did. Why could I not leave anything behind? Why could I not become someone known? Why are we so different? Why in the world was I ever born? Tell me... Yoriichi.' Kokushibo still lament on his own last thought after his demise when he suddenly he's heard unfamiliar voices.

"B-But Giin-sama!"

"My decision is final Yemma. Let that two come out for ten days forward. If they want to be resurrected or not are up to both of them."

"B-But-"

"No but! So what if he's eaten thousands of innocents!?"

This word picks Kokushibo interest and also awaken him from his thought. His interest is paid off as Giin using Hakai to destroy the space that imprisons his soul in hell. 'An Oni… No, his power is incredible.' Using his enhanced eyesight, Kokushibo tried to scan Giin's inside only to find out nothing since he's encased by Aura of Destruction. 'What's this power? Muzan-sama pales in comparison to him. Yoriichi also…' He thought in shock after sensing how massive Giin power is.

"Hello Kokushibo. Or should I say Michikatsu Tsugikuni." Giin greet him using his human name.

"Who are you?" Kokushibo demanded when he tried to reach his katana Kyokokukamusari, only not to find him on his waist. Two months of lamenting make him forgot that all of his ability is sealed as a resident of hell.

"Relax. Even though I'm Hakaishin, I have no intention to destroy for your so-called crime. I actually have a proposition that you maybe like." Giin said with a smirk. "Care to listen it?"

"What kind of proposition? And what's Hakaishin exactly?" Kokushibo asked, this proposition of his really picks up his interest.

After the explanation of the Tournament of Power and its consequences plus the members of Team Universe 12, Kokushibo nod, hiding his excitement at such tournament. "I see. In other words, you need my help and one other Twelve Demon Moons for this tournament?" He asked.

"Correct. And I also come here to apologize to you. About your brother Yorichii, he's born special with a reason. I think this is a secret that I shall share only with you: The flower that you master so desire to obtain." Giin revealed while genuinely apologized.

"No need for that. But I can't deny that my younger brother seems like the man that's chosen to be powerful from the very start. As for the tournament, I'll gladly join if that helps me to become even more powerful than now." Kokushibo agreed to join. 'And maybe… I can finally find out my true paths in life. Isn't that right, Yoriichi?'


On the other area of Universe 12 Hell which consists of black space surrounded by flame, Agu and Martinu are flying inside of protective barrier on search of yet another Upper Moon that will become member of Team Universe 12.

"If I not wrong, he's being surrounded by wall of flame along with his lover." Agu said to himself when he found the said location. "There it is."

Bring her staff forward, Martinu use her power to erase the Hell Flame that surrounded the person they're looking for. Inside of it, two people are hugging each other. Both of them have Halo in their head.

The first is a young girl with fair-skinned with large, rounded pink eyes with white pupils shaped as flowers. She had black hair which was always tied into a large bun fastened with a hairpin and decorated with a Kushi (hair comb) and three snowflake hairpins. She wore a circle-patterned, pink kimono that faded into a snowflake pattern tied with an obi.

The other one is rather different than the young girl since he's rather demonic in appearance. He took the form of a tall and muscular young man with skin so fair that appears bright green-tinged white, decorated by a pattern of thick blue lines, which resemble the criminal tattoos he had as a human. He had short, bright pink hair that fluffed out around his head, and inward-tilting yellow eyes with pink eyelashes and blue sclera that looked somewhat like cracked glass, the kanji for "Upper Rank Three" etched into their irises. The lines on his face curved through each of his eyes from below his ears to over his temples, another blue line running from the center of his hairline to the bridge of his nose, with two more lines running around his neck, three others branching off the lower one to his torso. The center line ran directly down his chest to halfway down his stomach, and the other two branched off to the sides over each side of his chest to join the two other lines, this same three-line pattern there also repeating around his waist. On his arms there were lines running down the front of his shoulders that ran into to two more, which went around his biceps, before continuing to run down to his wrists, below which it could be seen that each of his fingers are also dark blue with an orange fingernail, his toes also sharing this unusual appearance. He wore little, only sporting a short, sleeveless dark purple-pink haori that was cut off at his waist, left open to expose his chest, that was decorated by a square pattern on his back. Below this, he sported a pair of baggy white pants that he rolled to just below the knee with a blue rope belt to secure them at his waist. He also wears a chain of large round pearls around each of his ankles. This man is Hakuji or more commonly known as Akaza, the Upper Moon Three of the Twelve Demon Moons.

'It's a true love. Despite the sins that Akaza-san did unknowingly when he became an Oni, she still accompanies him in Hell. I feel sorry for both of them.' Agu thought with pity as he know that Akaza unwillingly turn into an Oni by Muzan.

Among the two, Akaza is the first one to notice the presence of Agu and Martinu and immediately stand protectively in front of Koyuki. "Who're you?" He asked in suspicion. Universe 12 Hell is rather unique since there's no warden that guards the dead souls inside this blank, black space and one that considers the dangerous criminals during their lifetime were imprisoned close to Universe 12 Yemma.

"Hakuji…" The woman whimpered while look at him.

"Greetings Hakuji-san. I'm sorry for interrupting you in here but we really need your strength." Agu said with honesty. "As for your question I'm Agu. I'm the one you mortal known as God."

"God?" Akaza wondered.

"Could it be… That the one we prayed upon have a physical form?" Koyuki innocently asked.

"That's correct Koyuki-san. Since you also here I think you should listen to what we'll propose to Hakuji-san as well." Martinu replied kindly before explaining about Universe 12 and the Tournament of Power.

After hearing it, Akaza looks baffled in contrast to his Oni persona when he was under Muzan, which without a doubt interested with the tournament. "I don't understand. If there's such tournament like you claim why'd not just recruiting those Demon Slayers?" He wondered.

"Akaza-san. After your death, Demon Slayers also suffers crushing defeat. Only two Hashira that's remaining alive and most of them are killed by your former master Muzan. My fellow God already recruit you associate Kokushibo-san." Martinu revealed much to Akaza's shock.

"That's right Akaza." Kokushibo suddenly appear via teleportation alongside Giin. "I hate to say it but your strength will be useful in the tournament, considers Universe 7 and Universe 11 are mainly hand to hand fighters."

"Even so… What's benefit for me to follow it? I have too many sin in my past life as an Oni. I don't think I have right to join the tournament." Akaza said while shook his head in denial.

"Akaza…"

"The winner of the tournament gets Super Dragon Ball. It's a mystical object that can grant three unlimited wish." Giin informed. "I understand your pain because of what you did in your past life Hakuji. However, I'm certain that someone like you have the right to be resurrected and start over again to clean your past sins."

"Still-"

"Hakuji-san." Akaza then look at Koyuki who called him. "It's okay. Moreover, if you win this tournament, you can use one of the wish to save other universes. The last two, even if you wish to revive me and we start over again… I'll accept anything that you want." She said in hope to support his husband.

"Koyuki…" Akaza don't believe what his wife just said before smiled and pat her head. "Very well then. If that's what you want, I'll join and promise to beat even this Son Goku and Jiren in order to make you proud." He said with a smile, finally agreeing to join the Tournament of Power.

"I'm glad that I'm not alone then." Kokushibo said in relief that at least someone that he views as a great challenge on his team is joining as well.

"Seems you're mellowing a bit Kokushibo." Akaza quickly noted as the Upper Moon One usually harsh and a man that very strict of hierarchy.

"I want to find something by following this tournament." Kokushibo said while narrowing his middle eyes. "What's the reason I was born? Am I really not someone that special? The answer I think will be found out by my performance in the battle with the other warriors."

"Hmph. In that case, I think Kokushibo will be the leader of Team Universe 12." Giin said with a smirk, noting how Kokushibo calm demeanor is something that's critical in leading Universe 12 to victory.

"What." Kokushibo didn't believe what he just heard. "I'm sorry. But I think the Demon Slayers won't-"

"You're the most experienced in the team plus you're cool headed so I think you can bring our team in perfect coordinate to victory. That's what Giin-sama meant Kokushibo-san." Martinu explain why'd Giin choose the Upper Moon One as the leader of Team Universe 12.

Want to complain at first, Kokushibo finally backs down and bow his head in respect. "If that's what you wish Giin-sama. I'll gladly become the leader that will lead to our victory over the other universes."

"Good." Giin happily smiled since he managed to get two powerhouses for his team. "If that so, let's goes to the Heaven first. The Demon Slayers request us to recruit three of their deceased Hashira. That'll makes our team completes." He informed.

"I see." Akaza nod in understanding. Seems even the God must be on Demon Slayer good terms in order to make this team. Seems even the gods must be have a hard time convince them to allow both he and Kokushibo join the team.

"Anoo. If I may interrupt." Koyuki speak up, gaining the attention of others. "From what Martinu-sama explain earlier, Hakuji-san will be semi-resurrected for ten days right and from there is up to him. Then… May I also follow to see Hakuji-san in the tournament? I know that sounds strange but… I want to support him."

"Unfortunately, the rules of the tournament are there's no spectator besides Gods are allow in the Null Realm. However, I can use my power to help you watch it from Giin-sama planet." Martinu explained.

Koyuki then bow in gratitude. "Thank you so much." She thanked.

"That matter is finish then we go back to the main thing. The recruitment of the deceased Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. Kokushibo, as the leader of Team Universe 12, I want to ask your suggestion of who's we're going to recruit from the Heaven."


(Universe 12 Heaven Entrance)

"So this is the Heaven of Universe 12…" Kokushibo thought aloud as he and the others are arrived on the Heaven of Universe 12. It's basically a collection of world bubbles where dead souls are basically get what they deserve for good actions in their life. "Seeing this up close, why'd I prefer actual punishment in Hell rather than end up in here." The Heaven of Universe 12 is revealed to be a collections of bubbles where inside of it, a human soul reside while they're get what they desired during their lifetime before being reincarnate into human on modern era.

Giin however quickly look at Martinu and nod, signaling her to force called three Hashira souls that's agree by Demon Slayer Corps.

Glowing her staff, Martinu summons three souls that's chosen for the Tournament of Power.

The first is a curvaceous young woman with a slightly pale complexion and round, pale green eyes with long eyelashes, a small beauty mark beneath each of them. She has long, light pink hair that fades into a lime green color at the halfway point, which she wears in three thick braids. She has five shorter, choppy clumps hanging over her face as voluminous bangs; the tips lime green as well. She wears a modified pink tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform along with a plain white haori. The chest area of her uniform is left unbuttoned and she wears a short pleated skirt in place of the usual hakama pants. She wears a pair of navy blue thigh-high socks layered with the vertically striped lime-green socks and a pair of white zōri with pink straps. This woman is Mitsuri Kanroji, the former Love Hashira and the user of the Love Breathing. She then look at her surroundings. "What? Where am I?" She asked.

The second is a short, muscular young man of light complexion with long, straight hair of a black color that fades to mint green as it approaches his waist. He wears his hair loose with two clumps protruding slightly from each side of his head, a set of marginally shorter hair left down to frame his face, and unruly bangs over his forehead. He also possesses large, empty-looking mint-green eyes. He wears a dark, slightly turquoise-tinted version of the Demon Slayer uniform. His uniform has longer, looser sleeves that are more reminiscent of those of a kimono than of the standard cuffed uniform. Along with this, the lack of bands of cloth wrapped around his calves gives his uniform an overall loose and sizable appearance. Finally, he wears dark blue tabi socks and a pair of white zōri with dark blue straps. This young man is Muichiro Tokitou, the former Mist Hashira, one of the prodigies that need only two months to become a Hashira, and the descendant of Kokushibo. When he lock gaze with the latter, anger immediately flash in his eyes. "You…"

The last is a petite young woman with a pale complexion and large, compound-like eyes that lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple, making her eyes appear similar to those of insects. She has shoulder-length wavy hair that fades from black into dark purple, usually styled at the back of her head into a flat 'yakai-maki' bun, fastened with a white and purple butterfly ornament. She has center-split, ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length locks of hair in front of her ears below them. She is short in height and has been described as having a small and weak-looking build. She wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform with gold buttons, consisting of a dark-purple tinted straight-lined black jacket and matching colored tabi socks and hakama pants, tucked into white butterfly pattern Kyahan fading into pale turquoise then pink around her lower legs, fastened with white ribbons. Over her uniform, she wears a white haori that previously belonged to her older sister, which has a butterfly wing pattern that fades into a pale turquoise then pink color on the sleeves and hem which are cuffed with a black and white dotted trim. She wears white zōri sandals with purple straps for footwear. This woman is Shinobu Kocho, the elder adoptive sister of Kanao and the former Insect Hashira. When she saw the participants, she gasp in shock. "Tokitou-san and Mitsuri-san. What's happened?" She asked, completely forgot to use her façade.

Muichiro shook his head at Shinobu. He clearly don't understand what's happened and how could his so-called ancestor standing casually in front of him.

"Wait a minute… These two…" Mitsuri quickly notices the Kanji in Kokushibo and Akaza's eyes. "They're Twelve Demon Moons Upper Moon!?"

Immediately after hearing those, Shinobu suddenly disappear before appears in front of Kokushibo ready to attack him without realizing she doesn't have her Nichirin with her.

'What a speed. So this is what Douma meant by them.' Kokushibo conclude after secretly watching Douma's fight against Shinobu. Oni are known to be able share information through thoughts, that's why during the final battle, both Upper Moons and Muzan already found some countermeasures against Shinobu's poison. Sighing, he unsheathe his Kyokokukamusari before Shinobu can even see it, and hit her gut with the blunt tip of its handle. "I've heard that among the Hashira, there's two of them that so aggressive about killing Oni. The first one is the Wind Hashira that I fight before I died… And the other one… Is you. So you're the one that's eaten by Douma back then." Kokushibo plainly commented, not knowing that it touch Shinobu most sore spot.

"Say that again you vile being~." Shinobu sweetly smiled in contrast of her true emotion before suddenly a knife is emerge from her right heels and she doing backflip kick to stab the Upper Moon's One face.

Only for Giin to easily caught her right leg by appearing in front of Kokushibo. "And here I thought you Demon Slayer always say yourselves to be better than Oni. Yet here… That proves it's wrong." He grimly commented.

'What the!? I-I can't move my legs!? This stranger… He's strong! Even stronger than that bastard!' Shinobu thought in panic as she struggles to free her right leg. Her mask starting to crumble as she realized how vast the difference of strength between both of them.

Seeing his comrade in danger, Muichiro immediately dash forward, only to be kick in the chin by Akaza, making him thrown to the air. "Listen to us dammit! Here we arrive here to summon three of your sorry ass only to be greeted with violence like this!? Did what you did only kiss your leader's boot!?" He yelled in frustration, remembering his encounter with Kyojuuro back when he was still evil.

"There's no need listen to Oni." Muichiro said emotionlessly as he delivered aerial downward kick toward Akaza but surprisingly, Mitsuri appear in front of Akaza and bring her hands upward defensively, taking the force of the kick that easily absorb due to her muscle density.

"You-" Akaza didn't expect that among all of things, a Hashira is protecting an Oni.

"Kanroji-san!" Muichiro emotionless face slightly broke as Mitsuri doing something unexpected. He then elegantly jumps back to the ground, keeping his distance from Mitsuri and Akaza.

"They… They said the truth." Mitsuri said toward Muichiro. "Both of them didn't have any intention to fight us and I'm certain the other three strangers also the same." She said while fondly remembers Obanai. 'Iguro-san… If you're here, this is what you'll do right?' She ask herself.

"Seems you're different from these two. I'm glad that we're chosen you Mitsuri Kanroji." Giin said with a smile as he release his hold on Shinobu, makes her fall shamelessly to the ground.

"I've also heard of you Love Hashira. You're the one that managed to hold off Hantengu's strongest clone till' morning right? If that so, that's really something amazing considers his Kekkijutsu." Kokushibo commented, revealing that he also spy Mitsuri's battles. He really genuinely praises her, since fighting Hantengu is not that easy. Even he takes some time before discovering the true nature of the Upper Moon Four Kekkijutsu.

"T-Thank you…" Mitsuri replied as she didn't expect a Twelve Demon Moons is praising her.

"Don't trust every words that come from their mouth Kanroji-san, they are Oni." Shinobu said with serious tone as she stands up from her fall. "These two have already killed thousands of innocents for their own selfish desires. That's why they always lie."

"You said that like you're innocent and righteous. Need to remind you how you plan to torture the spider girl before? Maybe she's wrong because killing those eighty innocent people but in truth… You're no different than them." Giin said rather bluntly. He already observed all of the Hashira personality and among all of them, he hated Shinobu the most but can't help agreeing with Giyuu about her usefulness in the tournament. Although this decision is completely denied by Kanao, the majority of vote besides her and Tanjiro agree that Shinobu should participate.

"You say I'm equal to that man-eating beast that'll do anything in order to survive?" Shinobu lowered her voice in hidden anger. How dare this unknown say she's the same as the being that she relentlessly slaughtered for many years ever since she became a Demon Slayer! She then look at Akaza with hatred. "From the info I get, I know you. You're the Upper Moon Three that's responsible for Rengoku-san death am I right?"

Akaza just huffed and look to the right. Being reminded of his actions as an Oni really brings some unwanted feelings of guilt in his heart. Although he somewhat agree with Kyojuro, his past shown that kinds of ideals: The strong shall protect the weak is nothing more than idealistic thinking, because that's how the world actually works. For a second, he's glad that his principle as an Oni actually has some truth in it.

"Stop!" A sudden yelled make Shinobu turn her attention to Koyuki. "You have no right to judge Hakuji-san like that!? You… Don't even know what kinds of hardships he went through!"

Shinobu is baffled. Why'd this woman defend him even after knowing he's eating human?


While Shinobu is being silenced, on the other side Kokushibo is looking at Muichiro and Mitsuri. A heavy tense surround the two as they carefully watch each other, afraid that one of them will make a move first.

"Its been a while Muichiro." Kokushibo greet his descendant formally.

"I see. Like me, you're dead that time. Seems my sacrifice wasn't in vain." Muichiro noted in dull tone. "Then, what're you doing here? Surely it isn't because your sin is forgiven right?"

"None of it. I have a proposal-no, a request. Dire consequences will happen to all of us if the three of you didn't want to participate." Kokushibo said before explaining about the Tournament of Power, its consequences, and the prize for the winner.

After hearing the explanation, Mitsuri gasps while covering her mouth. "T-That's horrible…" She said, horrified by the acts that Zen-Oh will done to eight lower rank universes if they ever lose the Tournament of Power.

"You must be joking." Muichiro still replied in dull tone. He'll never acknowledge the Upper Moon One as his ancestor despite the fact his blood flow in his veins.

"Kokushibo-san isn't joking." Agu then decided to take over the conversation. Despite being appointed as the leader of Team Universe 12, Kokushibo won't be trust that easily. "Before that let me introduce myself. My name is Agu, I'm what you human called God. The one over there is Giin-sama. He's the God of Destruction. Behind Kokushibo-san is Martinu. She's Giin-sama teacher."

"So… God really exist…" Mitsuri stated in disbelief.

"I don't really care about that." Muichiro said. "However, the destruction of this universe… Is that true?"

"Unfortunately it is. That's why we recruit the three of you in the first place… Tokitou-san, Kanroji-san, and Kochou-san. The other warriors are powerful without a doubt and we still have ten days before the tournament began. That's why we must quickly train in order to combat the power of other eleven universes." Martinu explained.

"Wait a minute." Shinobu called the attendant. "I've heard everything I need from the six-eyed bastard explanation. So you're going to say that you just bring us back from the Heaven in order to please a certain god?"

"That or our universe will be erase in ten days for not gathering enough team, making your struggles against Muzan will be in vain. So tell me, are you still going to stay on your foolish pride of Oni being evil or for ten days tolerate each other for victory?" Giin asked the Insect Hashira.

Shinobu grunted. Of course she's known the most important thing besides the conflict of Oni and Demon Slayer but she of all people must tolerate with two vile beings that eating humans makes her want to throw up. "Then tell me the last one, this Super Dragon Ball… It can grant anything right?"

Giin nod in confirmation. "As long it's not a bad wish. You can do three unlimited wish."

"I see." Shinobu simply said while her head thought about something. 'If that so… Then I know what I wish for.'

"I'll follow too! I'll use my wish to revive the erased universes!" Mitsuri quickly stated.

"Seems I have no choice." Muichiro shrugged. 'That means we'll meet again even for a while… Tanjiro.' He thought in relief before look at Kokushibo. "I'll never acknowledge you as my ancestor. However, what Giin-sama said to us is right. Because of that." Muichiro surprisingly kneel in respect of Kokushibo's strength. "Please help me polish my swordsmanship."

Kokushibo just nod in confirmation. "Very well. But don't expect me to go easy on you." He stated.

"As I believe any word come out from your mouth." Muichiro spat.

Kokushibo then glance at Giin. "I think our business in here is over. Lets return to the living world Giin-sama."

Giin nod. While he glad that he finally manages to form a team for Universe 12, in his mind he had a doubt that his universe will prevail in the Tournament of Power. The conflict between Demon Slayer Corps and Oni already run too deep to make perfect team cohesion. However, somehow he had a little hope that Kokushibo will manage the team perfectly in order to bring victory.

Author Notes

At last… IT'S FINISHED! I once again apologized for the delay. My mother and father have internal problems and them almost wanting to divorce. That makes me stressed out and can't find any ideas of writing plus with the fact that I currently searching a job. Luckily, my parents manage to reconcile with each other and I have the strength to write again.

As usual, I'll explain the reason I choose each members of the team:

-Kokushibo: In term of experience, he beat all of the other member plus his strength is something not to be taken lightly according to how he's defeated. At first, I thought of adding Muzan instead of him but many readers protest that he's hard to control with his stupid pride as an almost completely perfect being…. UHUM (Cell).

-Akaza: This is unique because he's the only hand to hand fighter in this team. His ability to sense battle spirit will be quite nonsense to other fighters especially to Universe 1 (One Piece). Universe 4 (Bungou Stray Dogs), Universe 5 (Naruto), and Universe 9 (Akame ga Kill!) maybe have a slight chance to annoy or maybe defeat him due to the fact that some of them can conceal their presence and battle spirit.

Now as for Demon Slayer Corps, it's rather hard to pick one that'll be participate rather than other previous team. The reason is simple. Is because… I LIKE ALMOST ALL OF THEM. That's why I pick up the character that I favored and throw the other. For example, I didn't include Zenitsu in the team because let me be plain… I really hate his character. Enough for the rant lets go to the explanation.

-Giyu: His mysterious Eleventh Form could be quite a nuisance for long-range fighter.

-Sanemi: His durability and tenacity isn't something to be taken lightly plus how fierce his Breath Style is.

-Muichiro: One of the two prodigies besides Gyomei. I choose him over Gyomei because although I like Gyomei I rather favored Muichiro since the fact he can grow even stronger considering he's Kokushibo descendant.

-Mitsuri: When I read the panel when she ripped off Muzan's arm using pure strength alone, I was quite surprised. Sure she's poor in term of speed but she's quite strong.

-Tanjiro: The main character. His state when fighting Akaza is almost the same as Ultra Instinct and could maybe annoy Jiren, Vegeta, Goku, or Hit for a bit.

-Inosuke: Basically a wild beast that's hard to predict.

-Kanao: Her sharp eyesight is almost the same as Sharingan, making her an annoying opponent for any fighters that dare to cross her path.

-Shinobu: Now this is a rather controversial since I actually confused whether I use Kyojuro or her. Since I really don't favor Kyojuro that much (His face… That almost smile and rarely blinking eyes gives me nightmare in my sleep), I choose her over him. Now this is also strange since from what I read, Demon Slayer Corps saw death as a beautiful thing. Well, I think that doesn't go well with Shinobu after hearing the Super Dragon Ball. I also have some plan for her training.

After that matter is finish, lets look at the vote.

Apparently, DxD lead with 7 votes. Both Magi and Mahouka is equal with 4 votes. Mahouka is the third with 2 votes and the last one is Rakudai Kishi with 0 vote.

Because of it, I hereby declare that the one that represents Universe 3 will be… DXD!

See you in the next update and be careful with COVID-19.
