In front of the Great Immoran Wall, Kokushibo was still battling the remaining Hashira who were aided by Valen and the Night Sentinels. Near their location was a large Sentinel Atlan battling a demonic titan, the two giants were locked in combat as they threw sluggish and heavy punches towards each other. Kokushibo was surrounded by Valen, Rengoku, and Uzui who were keeping him preoccupied for the time being with their relentless attacks. The two Hashira tapped into one breathing form after the other to give Kokushibo no room to breathe. Despite their best efforts, the man seemed unphased by their added efforts as he maintained his poker face. As they all swung their swords, Kokushibo extended his limbs outwards to catch each of them by the wrist as he held them in place. Kokushibo explained in a monotone yet stern voice, "The only reason I have allowed you to live is in the hopes that you'll entertain me. If you maintain this pathetic display, I'll get this over with instead of wasting any more of my time."

Rengoku turned his head in a different direction as he called out to his remaining peers, "Kanroji, Iguro, do it now!" Both the love and snake hashiras revealed themselves as they leapt from a nearby rock and advanced on Kokushibo's position. They jumped into the air towards the Upper Moon and swung their blades like a whip. Their nichirin blades were crafted to be like sword whips, having the ability to bend and change its shape. The two lovers channeled their spiritual energy into their breathing techniques as they went for a decapitation with both of their blades.

Kokushibo's upper body spun while his legs remained planted to the ground. With this maneuver, he threw Valen, Rengoku, and Uzui aside before shifting his body back into its normal position and extended separate blades for each arm. He sliced at Iguro and Kanroji, cutting through their blades with a single slash. Iguro's snake, that was wrapped around him, Kaburamaru, acted as a secondary pair of eyes for the snake hashira as he was partially blind, himself. Kaburamaru alerted Obanai of the incoming attack, allowing him to narrow roll out of the way of the slash, but not without having a chunk of his arm skin be shaved off in the process. Mitsuri, however, was not so fortunate as she was sliced in two when she was preparing to evade.

Once Iguro landed on the floor, his eyes widened in horror at the sight of his partner being sliced in half by the demon in front of him. Her corpse dropped lifelessly to the ground, pouring blood from her open wounds and coating the floor red with her blood. Iguro's pupils dilated from fury as he lost all his senses, his primal instincts of rage causing him to lunge at Kokushibo. However, Uzui zoomed over to Obanai, holding him still as he held the snake pillar back from getting himself killed. Iguro yelled at the top of his lungs, "I'LL KILL HIM, I'M GONNA FUCKING KILLING HIM!"

Uzui struggled to hold his comrade back as he barked at Obanai to calm down, "Obanai, stay with me, man! I get how you feel but we still need you with us! Don't let Mitsuri's death go to waste like the rest of our comrades, try to stay alive with us, please!"

Kokushibo swung his blade in the air to shake off the blood that was staining his sword. He turned towards the two Hashira and nonchalantly stated, "You know, I wasn't even trying with that swing. Frankly, I'm surprised the girl couldn't dodge. Perhaps I wasn't holding back enough. But by all means, I'm in no hurry. If you wish to rush towards your inevitable demise, feel free. It doesn't matter in which order I slaughter you Hashira. By the end of this, you will all die by my hands. So do try to make this entertaining for me in the meantime, I haven't had a proper challenge since receiving Master Muzan's blood." The statement caused the blood of all the remaining Hashira and Valen to boil considerably, their resolve to murder this demon grew by the second.
