#Hinokami cutting off a Demons head should be how you kill them.

What i think would be a great thing to add, if you arent planning it already, is making it so you actually have to focus on cutting the demons head off instead of just hitting them till they die, where you see like maybe a thread like Tanjiro does in the anime and that thread is an opportunity to cut off the head, and if you dont they'll just keep regenerating or something like that.

That would be a slightly cool mechanic for maybe a boss or two, but for overall, that would just get annoying/tedious all too quickly as you'd eother always be ready to do whatever move thay would entail, if you don't know of the mechanic it'd just make pve stupid, or if it was implimented in pvp, it'd just make pvp annoying as the person could run

Thats a fair point, i agree that it could get repetitive if it happened in like every fight, but i think it could work pretty well if it was balanced right, like if instead of always needing to cut off the head, the thread could show up for a short moment when the demon is open, vulnurable og weakened, giving them a chance to deliver a finishing strike, og just a highly damaging one. And with clear visual or audio cues like Tanjiros thread, that would make it easier to realize when that moment happens. In pvp it could work like a high risk high reward type finisher or just high damage move.

Yes but those would be lopsided mechanics and would still cause say enemy farming to feel very sluggish or for pvp to just feel like a heavy hit farming game

Yes, that’s true, but a crucial point of Demon Slayer is that demons only truly die when their heads are cut off, and that without targeting the head they can just keep on fighting. Tho, i get whatchu mean, i still think it would be cool tho for some bosses or special encounters or something like that.
