Tanjirou - Tumblr Posts
Random things I think about after watching the latest episode of Demon Slayer:
- I thought that Muichiro's father might be siblings with Tanjirou's but the family name doesn't add up so! What if Mui's grandmother is a Kamado and married a Tokitou. Mui's father inheriting the red eyes and married a turquoise eye coloured woman hence the Tokitou twins are born.
- I love how Tanjirou gets so work up over Zohakuten victimizing himself, like he's so pissed that this demon has the audacity to acts like a victim when it's the other way around. That he also gets so angry over being questioned why he cares about others, why does he keep helping others when it's not his business.
- CRYING SCREAMING WHEN THE CLONES GET ABSORBED AIZETSU MY MAN ๐ญ๐ญ
- CRYING AGAIN WHEN MUICHIRO KEEPS TRYING TO GET KOTETSU TO LEAVE AND LOOKING SO HORRIFIED WHEN THE BOY GOT STABBED
- This episode reminds me of Gyutaro and Daki, how they're on the different side of the same coin with Tanjirou and Nezuko. They became demons because they suffered, contrast to the Kamado who became demons slayers because they suffered.
Tanjirou and Nezuko are the definition of " The world is cruel and makes us suffer so we make sure no one gets the same fate."
Tanjirou having the brother rizz



(I am feeling a little bit evil so Giyuu doesn't get to have his chance hugging Tanjirou cause there are too many people so he leaves with his head down like a disappointed dog)
I know that Muichiro and Yuichiro can easily carry things heavier than their weight I mean look at how much woods they were carrying on their backs ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Also their dad looking a lot like Tanjirou, so Mui must be seeing his dad in Tanjirou that's why he's so soft and sweet around him (the bias is so clear LMAOO)
I understand why some people thinks the fight between Muichiro and Gyokko seem shorter than the last time with Gyutaro and Daki so here are some my speculation:
1) Muichiro has gotten the mark so his strength, speed, durability get more enhanced. Not to mention that he's very strong for someone his age and became a Hashira at a young age has proved how powerful he is even without the mark.
2) Gyokko's fighting skill and range isn't as far as Gyutaro and Daki, and he isn't as destructive with his surrounding that much compare to the siblings. His attacks mainly focuses on Muichiro and are quick to vanish into ashes at being slices, leaving not traces left behind.
3) Muichiro basically more stronger than Gyokko with the mark: he is poisoned and bleeding around but still maintain a perfect strength and skill to keep up with Gyokko. The mark probably helps in slowing the poison too. So the fight is done quicker than the last fight in entertainment arc.
I think it's just me, but maybe the factor of destruction of the surrounding and the exaggeration of movement can manipulate the length of time shown. Gyokko punches and swipes a lot after transforming into his last form, and Muichiro dodges and moves only in that area without the need to jump across many trees.
Also, maybe their fight is happening at the same time as Tanjirou and the others. See how fighting Hantengu seem to take more time? With his rank and ability, Hantengu has far range fighting skill, splitting up to clones and the area of the battle expand more. Aizetsu has smaller fighting range while his other clones can expand the area more like Sekido with his thunder striking, Karaku with his wind blasting and especially Urogi who flies around and has high frequency soundwave shrieks.
Then comes Zohakuten and his dragons, so Tanjirou, Nezuko and Genya have to move around like, a LOT, to dodge and plan counter attacks. Mitsuri comes along then and she, with her unique sword, also has far range fighting skill so along with her perfect acrobatics ability, she's in her zone in fighting Hantengu.
Again, these are just my speculation though ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
(they also did so WELL on Muichiro's smirk, capturing the sinister smirk and mocking eyes)
Saw a YouTube video of someone doing a 'What If Tanjirou meets another Hashira in the first episode' so here are my speculation;
Giyuu: Already in canon, Tanjirou and Nezuko are spared
Shinobu: Same as Giyuu with attacking Nezuko first but becomes immensely curious and bewildered when Nezuko protects Tanjirou. Thinks about Kanae and decides to let her curiosity wins her over. She probably make a deal with Tanjirou like "I'll recommend you a teacher for you to become a slayer in exchange for me to take your sister with me." Probably does experimenting on Nezuko because of her opposite demonic characteristics ๐ (a complicated situation, both sides trying to find the solution for a mutual agreement with Tanjirou refusing to leave Nezuko while Shinobu wants to poke her around with needles and stuff)
Kyojuro: Attacks without hesitation, stating bluntly to Tanjirou why Nezuko should be decapitated (unintentionally harsh) and does a double take when Nezuko protects Tanjirou. He might still stands on his ground but questions the whole situation. I can either see him still trying to slay Nezuko or spare her and takes Tanjirou as his student.
Mitsuri: Despite her soft and cheerful attitude, she shows little mercy when it comes to swinging her blades. She apologies first before diving into an attack. Very shock at seeing how Nezuko protects Tanjirou and starts complicating on what she should do next, to continue her mission or spare the siblings. She might needs to sit down and thinks for a moment. The outcome probably with her sparing them.
Muichiro: So honest with his words, insults Tanjirou at hoping for Nezuko to be good. Attacks but pauses when Nezuko is protecting Tanjirou. Maybe tilts his head and stares, asking Nezuko if she has ulterior motives. The most possible outcome of this situation is him to continue his mission and slays Nezuko, reminding himself that his responsibility as a slayer outweigh everything else.
Uzui: Doesn't filter his words when it comes to explaining to Tanjirou on why the boy is stupid enough to protect his demon sister. His eyes get wide when Nezuko protects Tanjirou and questions swimming around his mind. Either he decides to grasp onto the tiny possiblity that Nezuko can be good, or that he goes ahead to behead her. I see Uzui as a hopeful man clinging on to exciting possiblity of impossible situations, so he might takes Tanjirou as his student but keeps Nezuko lock or isolated away ๐
Gyomei: He thinks the situation is pitiful and hopeless, that Tanjirou is in too much despair to hope his sister still has the humanity in her. Even with blind eyes, Gyomei senses the change of the atmosphere when Nezuko stands over Tanjirou like a protection barrier between him and Tanjirou. He keeps wondering how such thing is possible, how a child like Nezuko decides to risk her life for her human brother that she probably never has memory of. He thinks of the chance that maybe she's being defensive over her food. Either he goes for a killing strike, or to have Tanjirou learning under his guidance while keeping close watch on Nezuko.
Obanai: Very harsh insults, thinks Nezuko has ulterior motive for protecting Tanjirou and beheads her ๐
Sanemi: We all know where this is going ๐ Kill first ask later.
The last episode of Demon Slayer season 3 is just *chef kiss*
The soundtrack really contribute well in playing the emotional scenes! I love how Tanjirou's breathing gets fast to show how much he's panicking and can't come to a decision, and I love the soundtrack when Nezuko gets in contact with the sun because it really shows how scary the situation is for Tanjirou and Nezuko.
Damn and Tanjirou saying how the only reason he managed to get this far is because to turn Nezuko back into a human...ahh ๐ฅน๐ฅน she really is his only sanity, his only reason to continue living.
Haganezuka is so funny ๐ญ he does not discriminate between ages because he would even throw hands with Kotetsu LMAOOO. He even smacks Muichiro ๐๐ญ
You get to choose between saving one person, or a whole bunch of others.
Hurry, make a choice

(and yet he didn't.)
What a I love about this scene:
1. Tanjirou having a panic attack, his breathing gets messy and unsteady
2. The background music and soundtrack, the voice acting is so good too! Love how they make the sounds of struggling, cries and shrieking in pain.
3. Nezuko realizing that they are at the mercy of time and decides to make the decision instead
Continuation of the one with Kuina (I am working on the Haganezuka comic)
A 'What-If' situation where Kuina is the one monitoring the Final Selection with Kiriya instead of Kanata.

Some drabbles below. Anyway, I am trying some style and colour testing. I put baby Hakuji and Tanjirou in cool and calming color while Akaza in a bright flashing colour to bring out the contrast in it.
I tried making Tanjirou looking soft and reminiscing memories of the past,
While having Akaza staring in perplexed with his all sensory going haywire because of the painful memory that Tanjirou reminds him of that he can't even remember; so hence frustration and confusing resulting to being alarmed and angry.
(Without colour)

Based on the manga panel;

It's the way Tanjirou expression that gets me. He looks at Akaza in a pitiful, sympathetic gaze that is not in an insulting nor looking down on way. It's more like Tanjirou thinks;
" What happened to you? "
Tanjirou recognizes the belief Akaza has rooted from something, an event happening in his human life. In some way, I think Tanjirou has an idea perhaps of why Akaza has such belief, despite the disagreement he has for it.
Even if he has hatred for Akaza, he wonders how could such villain starts as a small pure baby. What happened? What happened to make Akaza turning out like this?
Tanjirou is mostly a forgiving person but when it comes to Akaza, I don't think he will ever forgive nor forget what the demon has done. But remember that Tanjirou is understanding, sympathetic and empathetic.
He doesn't know what happened but he always wants to understand the demons he fought because he knows that they were once humans too. That they had humanity at one point. The real villain here is Muzan and Tanjirou reminds himself of that often. He would never blame the other demons, holding onto the hope and possibility that not every demons wanted to become what they are.
I think the time spent before Tanjirou can meet Akaza again allows the boy to learns more of his enemies. He's met Gyutaro and Daki (Ume), he's met Hantengu...time has allow his heart to slowly toughen and soften, to ignore the seek for revenge in the beginning.
And when Tanjirou meets Akaza again, the hatred comes but so does the pity and sympathy. With bits of sprinkle a question,
" What happened to you? "
Green flags

Tanjirou is soldier, Izuku is poet and Luffy is king.

Izuku and Luffy got curious on Tanjirou's forehead strength.

Wouldn't it be funny if Nezuko's Blood Demon Art registers the devilfruit and quirk in Luffy and Izuku's bodies the same as demonic cell so her Blood Demon Art force out their powers from their bodies. (The same way white blood cell registers unknown cell as threatening)
On a more, not so comedic note, her fire would've burnt Luffy and Izuku bodies to crisp since it thinks the boys are demons.

In a world where people can enhanced their bodies through breathing method...
or those who gains power through a deal with the fruits of the devil...
or simply born with quirks...
...this simple story starts with a day after school at the park;










I love Academy AU, this is a silly idea I thought of last night.
[Masterlist]
TW: Blood, horror-ish a bit




Them bonding over their tragic siblings.
Izuku accidentally called Tanjirou 'mom' that one time where Tanjirou is cooking and Izuku walks in like " that smells good, mom -- " and he freezes, takes a moment before collapsing on the floor sobbing and then rushes to call his bio mom to say how much he loves her and all.
Luffy watches Tanjirou training his hinokami kagura and the 'fire' illusion movement reminds him of Ace and when he is about to call out Tanjirou's name, he started with " hey, Ac -- " and catches himself in time by bitting his tongue so hard he bleeds a lot.
(Tanjirou worries a lot about them)

Random doodles I sketched in class today




can we see gyutaro in the mermaid AU
I would be amazing
(And daki ofc)
I haven't figured out everyone's lore yet (lol) but here are the mermen of this AU and sea creatures they are based off, either from look or other traits.

(why Giyuu is an eel? Cause my first thought when I saw that eel was 'whats up with this dude' which is the same phrase when I first saw Giyuu)

Do you know that Tiger Shark eats almost anything? Kinda like Genya with demons, they're both gluttonous :)
I thought of having Gyomei with Basking Shark but I am still not sure.

There are a lot of things I am unsure about, like Douma cause my first choice was Crocodile Icefish and why is Yoriichi a small fish? Cause I said so (honestly Idk what to put him as)
I thought of Akaza as mantis shrimp cause they pack powerful punches tho hrmm I am not sure.

I promise I am not doing Tanjirou dirty (iam)
Him and the fish have too many similarities. Like their forehead.
If you guys have any suggestions of sea creatures they can be based off, please do comment (โ โฏโ แดโ โฏโ )

can you show us any giyushino art or something that includes them you have been doing lately
i miss them
I missed them too

I am still trying to decide why at the time Shinobu tried to roast him. One idea consists of Giyuu unintentionally jumpscared Shinobu when he emerged from the water and she dropkick him into unconsciousness before tying him up in an attempt to scare him.
Demon Slayer, but Nezuko looking a bit unhinged.


I should do a series of this. Lol.
Losing my mind at kny season 4 episode 2 cause I just see the same situations between Tanjirou/Giyuu and Kanao/Shinobu's interactions.
Big siblings figure with their little siblings moment >>>>
Giyuu thinking he's rather off dead and Tanjirou managed to successfully help him realise that his life is worth it,

and Shinobu about to tell Kanao of her suicidal plan with Kanao unable to convince her otherwise.

Two Hashiras; one overwhelmed with survivor guilt and another stop caring about anything else but revenge.
One realises he needs to live because that's what his late sister and Sabito would've wanted, and another ignores her late sister's will to keep on living and decides to soothe her anger by avenging the late sister.
Also I love how Giyuu asked about Shinobu's training, seeing that he doesn't 'hear' anything from her; implying that, possibly, in times he went to shut himself off like this, she would've written to him about what's going on and keeps in touch with him.

Oh my god he doesn't know about her plan. This hits harder now :((
Off topic, but look at how beautiful they are;


Woah it's like a reverse role. Now that I added the pics side by side, I adore the switch between them -- like how we see another side of them.
It's a bit odd to see the usually cheerful Shinobu looking so serious, and the sombre looking Giyuu seems relaxed now, isn't it?
