WWE Superstar Channels Demon Slayer With Rengoku Ring Gear

By Evan Valentine

Rengoku made quite the splash in the first Demon Slayer movie, with Mugen Train becoming the biggest anime trailer of all time and netting hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office around the world. With the film becoming the number one movie in North American theaters for its opening weekend, Tanjiro and company have helped prove how big anime has become in the West. Now, a superstar in the WWE has entered the ring wearing the Flame Hashira's attire.

Rengoku, for those who might not a refresher course on the Flame Hashira, first appeared in the biggest anime movie of all time, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. Sought by the stars of the series, Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Nezuko, the fiery swordsman was first portrayed as something of a goofball, obsessed with food and unable to stop himself from critiquing his meals following each bite of an edible he found delicious. With the train itself revealed to be tormented by demons, Rengoku joined Tanjiro and company in fighting against these supernatural threats, but unfortunately, was unable to claim victory against the top-tier demon known as Akaza. Becoming a major casualty in the fight against the demonic hordes, Tanjiro and his allies are fighting to honor their fallen friend. 

Demon Slayer Vega 

Zelina Vega herself shared the video showing her entering the ring wearing an outfit that had been modeled from Rengoku's fiery style, with the Demon Slayer Hashira remaining a fan-favorite character despite not being one of the main young swordsmen that follow Tanjiro in his quest to rid the world of the flesh-eating creatures: 

The third season of Demon Slayer's anime adaptation will arrive early next year and following the events of both the Mugen Train Arc and the Entertainment District Arc, the series will have to hurdle some high bars if it wants to hit the same levels for the Swordsmith Village Arc.
