Murata, a demon slayer who briefly appears in the Demon Slayer anime and manga, will become playable by completing chapter 5. Although he’s unremarkable compared to his fellow Demon Slayers, he’s a funny addition to a very colorful cast of characters.

Unlocking the Academy alternatives

Unlike the other characters in the game, you’ll have to do more than just beat the game’s story to unlock the Academy alternatives for Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Shinobu, and Inosuke. You’ll have to fulfill special conditions, such as getting memory fragments, beating the special missions, and completing the option reward missions.

All of the characters can also be unlocked for 4000 Kimetsu points each. However, we recommend completing their respective unlock conditions as that’s much easier than grinding for points.
