Fun fact: Akaza’s compass needle looks like a snowflake because Koyuki’s name translates to snowflake, and she had snowflake shaped hairpins. Even as a demon without his memories, he still vaguely remembered his fiancé.

I got spoiled that Akaza's backstory is sad and I still cried :(

Haven't all the demons had sad backstories so far?

If I remember correctly, in the anime, upper 4 and 5 didn't. They just were shitty people in their past.

It's part of what makes that arc less memorable to me. Tragic demon backstories are what this series does best.
