"Demon Slayer Blade - Pillar Training Chapter" has finally started, although it is the latest new one to be broadcast in April (there is no one), but with IP advantages and years of accumulation, there are still many fans who are waiting. The first episode had a 7.0% rating.
The rating of 7.0% is not very good, but on October 17, 2020, the ratings of "Demon Slayer Blade - Second Night - Nada Spider Mountain Arc" at the Toyo Theater reached a staggering 21.4%.
However, compared to the sluggish programs above, as well as the animated version of "Azure Files" with only 0.8% ratings, 7% is already very powerful.
"Pillar Training Chapter" is a transitional chapter before "Infinite City Chapter", and it is relatively short. It mainly revolves around the content of the column's training and their personal past. In this issue, we will talk about the voice actors of the 7 pillars in "Demon Slayer".

That's it for the voice actors of the remaining pillars now. The Yanzhu people are gone, and the sound pillar has withdrawn, so I won't introduce it here. Wait, is the water column forgotten?
It's not that I don't want to introduce it because the CV of the water column is Takahiro Sakurai, but because Tomioka Yoshiyoshi is not a "pillar" in the true sense.
When he participated in the selection when he was a child, the ghosts were all knocked down by the rabbit alone, and he was not only saved by the rabbit, but also picked up the leak and became a water column, so he didn't think he was worthy.
That's why Tomioka said to others at meetings, "I'm not like you." The plot of the next episode will come out, so let's see it for yourself when the time comes.
By the way, the voice actor of Chi Rabbit is Yuki Kaji.
