Too much glaze for days, our troops are finally starting to fight back.
Get her past Kaigaku and top 9 hashira first.

Fun fact: First time I tried to record this, Kyojuro lost more HP and was bleeding in the eye, but I scrapped the footage because mic was on and it ended up recording background noise.
It's been a while since I last visited this place, so...
It all started in 1983, when William and Henry founded Fredbear's, and also made a sister location named Freddy Fazbear's, it was all good until a brat named Michael forced his brother CC into the mouth of the Fredbear animatronic, causing the Big Bite (aka Bite of 83 later on), and the Fredbear diner closed for a while. CC died in the hospital, was him having nightmares with the animtronics? Maybe.
William was so pissed that in the Freddy's location, he killed Charlotte, Henry's daughter (not because he loved his sons, but because he hated the idea of Henry having a better family, paired with psychopathy anyway). The girl possessed the Puppet (programmed to protect her), and later on the springlock suits from Fredbear's were discarded after an accident. Later on, the 85 Freddy's was founded, this time with only the Freddy's cast. Willy decided to kill five kids using an old golden Bonnie suit from the older gens: Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, Fritz. and Cassideez (this one probably in the most painful or traumatizing way).
There's a 6th kid who probably died in a separate moment too ig, but I'm too tired to find a way to put him here, but all you need to know is that he likes crocs. Either way, animatronics started to leak ooze and blood, so the health inspector closed the restaurant.
Meanwhile, William tried his own business, making the funtime animatronics, but one of them, Circus Baby, killed his daughter Elizabeth. The truth is that these funtimes were made to capture and kill kids. Why? Willy was studying soul, kids, and immortality or smth, and even made a nightmare chamber based on his own house.
Either way, Fazbear's tried AGAIN in 1987, now with toy animatronics programmed to spot criminals (the Foxy one was mangled by the kids tho). Fazbear's included a new Balloon Boy character inspired by an old Fredbear's prototype named JJ (I swear, it's just my headcanon), and the Puppet returned too. Jeremy entered the pizzeria and started working, but then the withereds activated (powered by the MCI kids, Charlie put their souls in the suits), Willy (as Dave Miller), wearing a Fredbear suit, killed five more kids that possessed the toys, and in the end, Jeremy got bit in the frontal lobe by Toy Foxy (or Mangle, or whatever).
Oh, and about the shadows, endoskeletons, and weird props across the series, it's all agony caused by the negative energy of the killings, these hallucinations and paranormal phenomena were common. The shadowy Freddy was even spawned from William's malice when killing the MCI kids, and the dark Toy Bonnie figure was spawned from the DCI I assume.
Anyway, pizzeria closed, toys were scrapped, the pizzeria entered a hiatus period. They opened again in 93, using the old robots again. Michael, using his nickname and mother surname (headcanon) as Mike Schmidt, started working at Freddy's for free pizza, but was stalked by the animatronics, the same ones that one week before, killed a veteran employee named Ralph (aka Phone Guy), and every time Mike slept, he had nightmares of his childhood days, but in his bedroom being stalked by nightmarish versions of the animatronics.
Afterwards, he was fired, and Willy asked him to go to Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals (the place where the funtimes are stored) to get Elizabeth back.
William also entered the abandoned 93 Freddy's, lured the robots via his wickedness or smth (the dark Freddy) destroyed the suits, and extracted their remnant from endos. What is this? Well, it's soul energy or smth. He injected those into the funtimes (my headcanon is that he injected Gabriel's in Funtime Freddy, Jeremy's in Bon-Bon, Susie's in Ballora, and Fritz' in Funtime Foxy. Not sure about Cassideez tho, she either wasn't included or she went as well and was scattered across the funtimes. Also, did I mention that CC's soul has a chance of being in the old Fredbear suit with Cassideez? Feel free to believe in it or not).
Willy went on the five day to get the fifth remnant from Cassideez (maybe), but got cornered and tried to escape by entering the old Spring Bonnie suit, but the moisture in the suit (building was full of leaks) trapped Willy and killed him.
Anyway, for Mike, the result? Lizzie/Baby manipulates Mike and turns him into a flesh costume, and Ennard (the amalgamate of funtimes commanded by Baby) escaped the building only to have the flesh costume to rot, so they left it and escaped to the sewers. Michael? Well, the remnant of the scooper he got hit made him return to life, I guess he's now slowly regenerating, but whatever, Lizzie is free, and Michael now wants to find his father.
During this time, the MCI kids were tired of Lizzie's control and expelled her from the wire mess. Lizzie had to rebuild herself, and the MCI kids became a spaghetti version of Freddy, lead by Gabriel.
Years later, in 2023, a group of investigators went to the old Fazbear's to get props for a horror attraction based on the legends of the killings. William's body was found, inside the rotten suit he died in. He was placed in the Fazbear's Fright attraction, and Michael decided to go there, again, to confront his dad, wherever he is now. Well, for Mike's surprise, Will was there, as a zombie, a thing named Springtrap. They confronted each other through a week until the attraction burned for bad ventilation maintenance. Mike and Will escaped, and Will rebuilt himself with old bonnie parts after losing parts of his body (arm included).
Henry (Henry practically abandoned his own company after the 93 Freddy's) then decided to act. He built a machine named LEFTE (Lure, Encapsulate, Fuse, Transport, Extract), aka Lefty, to capture Puppet (who was basically a full on cryptid in the town by then), and opened a Fazbear's place for a franchisee. He's not a flawless saint tho, considering his extreme methods (you'll see) and delay to act, but at least he's trying.
Anyway, Mike joined the place as a franchisee, colaborating with Henry (he wanted whatever person to fill the role, Mike just got lucky) to lure everyone: Lizzie, the MCI kids, Charlotte inside Lefty, and the devil in form of zombie Willy. After everyone was there, Henry burned the place to ground, killing himself, destroying the animatronics, and even Mike decided to stay and die to, idk, atone for his sins and kill the memory of Fazbear's for good?
Willy didn't die, Cassideez (or maybe the croc kid but whatever) wanted to torture him more, trapping him in a dreamscape, recreating the animatronics (and also a shadowy being named XOR) forcing Willy to endure punishment again and again. Then, a higher being (OMC) told Cassideez to chill and let Willy go to hell already, and so she did.
Willy is dead, Fazbear's is dead, Henry is dead, Afrons no more, the kids finally got their Happiest Day and everyone could rest in peace.
(I tried to remember the relevant shit I swear, and nah I'm not interested in proceeding with the new lore, I'll stop here.)
Ignore Kaburamaru on the image. It's just Tanjiro and him here.
Another Shinobu matchup in Minecraft.
Let's see what Minecraft has to say.
I couldn't ignore the similarities of the Skylanders elemental classes with the hashiras + Yoriichi, so I made this.
For mods: Muichiro full potential > peak Gyomei (speculation)
For mods: Mitsuri > Shinobu.
Like, Zohakuten is the strongest clone, the clone who appears when Hantengu's main body is found and attacked, we all know that.
If we take a look at it, we'll see that all the bottom 3 upper moons have another, harder, "phase 2" once their initial forms are defeated.
- Upper Moon 6 would have the slayer thinking they killed Daki, only to Gyutaro to spawn and start the most intense part of the battle.
- Upper Moon 5 has the slayer facing Gyokko's pot form and after a while they can force him into his faster, stronger true form that can turn everything he touches into fish.
We have the same principle for Upper Moon 4. You behead the 87 years old Hantengu and starts fighting Sekido and Karaku (who are looking like men on their 40s). You behead them and suddenly, Sekido and Karaku regenerate, but Aizetsu and Urogi also spawn, and the four look like men on their 20s (notice how the clones get younger as they split, as Tanjiro pointed out).
Then, if the slayer manages to find the main body and hit it, the strongest and hardest part of Hantengu, Zohakuten, who I assume looks like an early 10s year old kid, spawns.
The thing is: multiple people, pretty much weaker than the current gen hashiras, died to UM 6 and 5 "first phases":
- 22 hashiras fought UM 6, 7 died to Daki and 15 managed to force Gyutaro out of her body and only then died (tho you might argue those 7 might have died to third eye Daki or smth).
- Among the unknown number of slayers who died to Gyokko, only TWO managed to force the upper moon into his true form (probably past hashiras), with Muichiro being the third person who saw it.
But what about Hantengu?
While chasing the main body, Genya sees how the battle was a cat and ouse game the whole time and understands why so many people died to Upper Moon 4, since his whole deal is fighting four strong clones while chasing the tiny main body. That means that a lot of slayers, pretty much hashiras included, died to the four clones without even managing to hit the main body, and to fight Zohakuten, you would have to fight the emotion clones first.
The escalation curve goes like this:
- UM 6: Daki (7 died) -> Gyutaro and Daki (15 died)
- UM 5: Gyokko (pot) -> Gyokko (true, only seen by 2 people before Muichiro)
- UM 4: Sekido and Karaku -> Sekido, Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urogi -> Zohakuten (and Urami)
If only TWO people made Gyokko go intro true form, I assume that forcing Kidoairaku into Zohakuten is just as rare.
So, how many times was Zohakuten summoned? Do you have any idea?
Those whom I deemed relevant to include I guess. I'm speculating the peaks of past hashiras, and I'm vibescaling human Kaigaku.
Any changes?
Join the UM agenda.
