Demon Slayer or Demon Killer (鬼殺し – Onigoroshi) is a furibisha strategy where player can erect a rapid attack against opponent’s king. (Diego, 2016). However, there are less players who use this opening nowadays. Demon Slayer is considered a kishuu (surprise) opening. If the opponent knows the correct moves, he can get a better position. But if he mistakes or doesn’t know the correct moves, you can get a great advantage (Diego, 2016).
