Will Akaza die in Demon Slayer?
Yes, Akaza will die in Demon Slayer. Akaza is one of the most iconic demons who makes his first appearance in Mugen Train. He is also the one that is responsible for the death of Kyojuro Rengoku at the end of Mugen Train. Akaza is known as Upper 3 or Upper Moon 3 in the twelve Kizuki. He is one of the strong foes the slayers have ever met. Akaza in Kimetsu no Yaiba is killed by himself. He dies at the Infinity Castle Arch. However, it is shown in the manga that Tanjiro, Hashira, and Tomioka had already made him weak. Tanjiro and the demon had an intense fight where Tanjiro’s words made Akaza remember his human life. Akaza, however, used his forbidden Blood Demon Art called Destructive Death on Tanjiro.
Akaza
Throughout the fight, the demon was constantly reminded of his human life. Akaza was reminded of his fiance Koyuki while fighting Giyuu. He does not recognize Koyuki, but in his mind, she constantly asks him why he would want to kill people? Upper 3 Demon Akaza regains his memory and now wants to destroy himself. But, the demon king, Muzan Kibutsuji, does not want that to happen. And as Akaza remembers Muzan, he starts regenerating. However, Koyuki expresses her gratitude which has Akaza to let go and disintegrate.

Nezuko is Tanjiro’s sister. She was turned into a demon when the Kamado family was attacked by demons. Nezuko, however, had all her memories intact and thus, could not be turned into a demon completely.
Inosuke Hasibira, a boy, was raised by the wild boars after his mother was killed by demons. He is mostly self-taught and uses a unique style called “Beast Breathing”. And then we have Zenitsu Agatsuma, who is so scared of demons that he could only fight them when he is asleep or unconscious through his “Lightning Breathing.”
