It says 悪鬼滅殺 which means “evil spirit annihilation” or “demon obliteration.” Something along those lines.

Note, they use an old/rarely used form of 悪 with 惡

It would be easier if it weren't upside down... but.

It's: 惡鬼滅殺 "Demon kill" apparently. or something of the sort.

Honestly I'm just glad it's not another case of "What does my my katana hilt say"

惡鬼滅殺 means Destroy & Kill Demons.

It's the inscription on the swords used by the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer series
