It could be said that Gyutaro's shout...
Expressed the truest thoughts in the depths of his heart...
As long as his sister Daki wasn't beheaded, or the interval between their beheadings was long enough.
Then, whether it was him or his sister.
They were almost invincible.
The reason it was only "almost"...
Was that Gyutaro had never actually tried going out into the sun in broad daylight.
To see whether he could revive even after being burned to ash.
But the faint sensations conveyed by his Blood Demon Art.
Gave him a rough understanding that, to some extent, he wasn't quite so afraid of sunlight.
If he really was reduced to ash, as long as his sister came near that pile of ash at night.
He could still grow back out of it.
Of course.
There was also a limit to the effective range of this immortality.
The immortality of [Two-in-One] was, at its core, still sustained by a Blood Demon Art.
If Gyutaro and Daki were too far apart.
For example, if one was in Hokkaido and the other in the Four Kingdoms...
Once their Blood Demon Art's connection failed, being beheaded would mean dying for real.
Even if the other returned to their corpse, they most likely wouldn't be able to revive.
However, over the past century.

Clearly, these members of the Nine Hashira wearing captains' haori.
Were all far stronger than him.
For the first time, Gyutaro
