Inosuke has not only saddened many Kimetsu no Yaiba fans with his new abilities but has also become the most talked-about character lately.

If things weren't clear enough, Inosuke Hashibira is now the brightest star in Kimetsu no Yaiba: Entertainment District. Inosuke has quickly made fans worldwide exclaim 'truly horrifying' as he successfully identifies Tengen Uzui's missing wife. Inosuke has become the focal point in the latter half of season 2, succeeding where Tanjiro and Zenitsu failed and capturing the audience's excitement.
Fans' unanimous appreciation for Inosuke stems from his newfound ability. After Tanjiro suggests a tunnel between the houses that the demon they are hunting is passing through, Inosuke demolishes Ogimoto's house until he finds a small hole in the ground. Unfortunately, the hole is too small for him to crawl through.
However, 'Lord Inosuke,' as he often calls himself, is a demon slayer who never allows himself to be hindered by ordinary logic or physics. Realizing only his head fits the hole, Inosuke decides to dislocate the joints in his body to squeeze into the hole—and of course, he succeeds. Inosuke turns himself into a soft, flexible noodle amid spine-chilling sounds, diving into the hole and burrowing into the earth. The scene leaves the audience in shivers for a few minutes. Everything returns to normal when Inosuke adjusts his joints back to their original positions, proving that Tengen's mission would never succeed without him.
As Tengen roams the city, something captures his attention—sounds of a fierce battle underground. The story then takes a reverse journey to a previous time when Inosuke discovered a hole beneath eight floorboards and rescued Makio, Suma, and Zenitsu from Daki's food storage. The group engages in combat with a demon wearing a kimono belt—a creature seemingly born from Daki's will, and the sounds of the battle start drawing Tengen's notice.
Inosuke's jaw-dropping joint-dislocating ability aided him in infiltrating Daki's food storage, a feat that left many viewers astounded. Tengen likely wouldn't have been able to locate the underground chamber without the sounds created by Inosuke and others to guide the way. Without Inosuke, Tengen's wife, Zenitsu, and Daki's other victims might have been lost forever.
Surprisingly, Inosuke delivers an impressive performance in the Entertainment District, despite not being suited for bustling urban activities. Among the 6 individuals Tengen sent on the covert mission, Inosuke is the only one whose identity remains undisclosed. He is also the first to encounter Daki and learn about her ability to move between walls. Inosuke hunts demons while Tanjiro does household chores without deceiving anyone, and Zenitsu plays the shamisen.
Inosuke has many outstanding moments in this film segment. He could truly become a hero in the story, or this might be his last chance to shine before tragedy strikes. Now that Tengen's wives are safe, the group must join forces with Tanjiro to fight against Daki. Based on Inosuke's successful action, he may soon join the battle. The lower moon's power has yet to be fully revealed, so a major plot twist may still lie ahead.
