But tragedy struck again when rivals poisoned Keizo and Koyuki, destroying everything Hakuji lived for. In a blind rage, he annihilated the rival dojo, crossing the line from protector to destroyer. It was at this moment that Muzan Kibutsuji (the demon lord) offered him immortality. Broken and hopeless, Hakuji accepted — and thus, the demon Akaza was born.
