Tengen Uzui is definitely the flashiest character in whole Demon Slayer series. His flamboyant fighting ways are just breathtaking and always gets fans hyped up. He was leading the Entertainment District Arc mission and successfully pulled it off. In his first encounter with Daki, he beheaded her in the blink of an eye, without her noticing. With such feats why Tengen Uzui is retiring as a Hashira from Demon Slayer corps? Well we know exactly why and we have covered all points in this article.
After watching season 2, whenever we hear the word ‘Flamboyant’ it just reminds us of Tengen Uzui, the sound hashira. His flashy lifestyle has fans impressed but the ending of season 2 is just sad because Uzui said that he wants to retire as a Hashira from Demon Slayer corps.
Manga readers already know what will happen but those who watch only anime are still processing the retirement statement of Tengen Uzui. Given that he lost one hand, it’s unlikely that he would retain the position of Hashira.
Reason of Tengen Uzui’s Retirement
Most of fans are thinking that Uzui retiring as a Hashira from Demon Slayer crop is because of the loss of his one arm. The loss of his left arm in the battle didn’t stop him from fighting Gyutaro, the upper rank six. So that’s not actually the case here. The reason behind the retirement of Tengen Uzui is his respect towards the wish of Hinatsuru.
It was the wish of hinatsuru to retire so they could live a normal life as a family. It was shown during the flashback on episode 9. When Hinatsuru asked Tengen Uzui if they could withdraw from the frontlines after they defeat an Upper Moon Demon.
When Obanai asked how long it would take Uzui to recover from the injuries to get back on the frontlines. Tengen Uzui’s answer was simple, that he can’t fight anymore and will be retiring.
Will Tengen Uzui Join The Hashiras Again?
Tengen Uzui made his decision of retiring from Demon Slayer corps as a Hashira. Even if he joins the title in future he won’t be able to carry out missions against upper moons considering his physical condition. So he won’t join the Hashiras in future but he will be the part of Demon Slayer corps.
