The character system in Demon Slayer Sword is indeed extremely massive, but that does not mean that character building is done in a sloppy way. Each character has a unique personality and identity that leaves a deep impression on viewers. Today, let's take a look at the characters in this famous Anime series with Mincorner.
The main characters
Kamado Tanjiro
The movie Kimetsu no Yaiba begins with a happy family scene of Kamado Tanjiro. Unfortunately, while going down the mountain to sell coal, Tanjiro's entire family was murdered by demons. When he returned, only Nezuko was still warm, but she had been turned into a demon.
The righteous character Tanjiro
Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayers for revenge, he wants to destroy the demon that killed his family and turn his sister back into a human. Tanjiro has a warm, tolerant heart, not only towards humans but also towards demons. His actions freed the souls of many demons. That's why Tanjiro is loved by so many people.
Kamado Nezuko
Nezuko was the only survivor when the Kamado family was attacked by demons. Even though she turned into a demon, she still kept her memories of her brother. That's why, Giyuu Water Pillar didn't kill her, on the contrary, he sealed her mouth with a bamboo stick and let her follow her brother.
Nezuko sleeps to restore energy, not to eat people.
Unlike demons who have to eat human flesh to increase their strength, Nezuko sleeps to restore energy. She uses her strength mainly from her sharp legs and claws. Even because she received a lot of demon blood, she was strong enough to duel with the demons in the Twelve Demon Moons.
Her Blood Demon Art is Blood Blast, her blood explodes and causes great damage to the demons. However, Nezuko usually does not use this power to avoid falling into a deep sleep.
Agatsuma Zenitsu
Zenitsu is also a member of the Demon Slayers like Tanjiro. He was raised by the Former Minh Pillar with the purpose of inheriting and becoming the Pillar. Zenitsu was taught the Breath of Thunder technique, but he can only use the first of the six moves of this move.
Zenitsu was always extremely shy and feared that he would die soon.
When fighting, he is always extremely shy and fears that he will die soon. Once his fear reaches its peak, Zenitsu will fall into a "sleep" state and use swordsmanship purely on instinct. This fighting state is comparable to the top swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, when he woke up, he couldn't remember what he had done, so he always thought he was very weak. Zenitsu adored Nezuko from their first encounter, instinctively shielding her while in a deep slumber induced by the demons' Blood Demon Art.
Hashibira Inosuke
Inosuke, also known by the affectionate name of fans: The Inner One, is the member who always wears a wild boar mask. When he was an infant, his mother was killed by Thuong Huyen Nhi. Insouke was raised by wild boars and taught to talk by an old man. You don't have basic human moral values. Innosuke just wants to fight.
He has the ability to resist poison and can easily break his joints.
