• Hantengu's true main body is a tiny demon hiding inside the heart of the resentment demon.
• Gyokko was defeated by Muichiro Tokito after being outsmarted and overwhelmed by his awakened mark and mist breathing.
• Akaza chose to stop fighting and let himself die after remembering his human life and his promise to protect his loved ones.
• Doma was defeated through the ultimate sacrifice of Shinobu Kocho, whose wisteria poison weakened him enough for Inosuke and Kanao to finish him off.
