Iguro Obanai

At his death moment, he vows to Mitsuri that he will protect her if ever they are reborn; he will make sure that she’s happy. Iguro’s death scene is full of deep regrets and love. Much of his life he spent fighting and living his life with the trauma of his family. In the last minutes, however, he wants to make up for the time lost and show Mitsuri that he truly cares for her.

Shinobu Kocho
Shinobu Kocho, Insect Hashira, is a character who is driven by an intense hatred of demons due to the death of her family. Her last words, “Rot in hell,” reflect an intense longing for revenge, which was accompanied by pain and anger that had driven her throughout all those years. While a heartbreaking death, it liberates Shinobu by the fact that she now has no burden of revenge. Her words bring the complexities of human emotion into one’s mind—how sometimes even a person, to others’ eyes, seems normal or even peaceful but can still harbor an intense, stabbing pain within. Shinobu’s last words might be hard, but still, it is her reflection of never-ending hate and malice toward those demonic forces who took away nearly everything she had.
“Rot in hell.”
