Rengoku and Tengen: What It Means To Be A Hashira (Demon Slayer)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I love the concept of the Hashiras, and the way they've been portrayed so far in the anime has just been spectacular. In this video, I analyze these two hashiras, what they represent, and what it means to be...A HASHIRA.

“To stand as a beacon of hope where there is none.” I believe this is why they’re also called a “Pillar”
That and they are the figurative pillars of the demon slayer core. Without the foundation and support pillars the house will crumble.
Wait until we see gyomei in action bro, he will redefine the meaning of pillar.
@@b3as_t than he’ll get outshined by irugoat I mean iguro in the final battle
They are called a pillar because they all stand for the multiple breathing styles. The pillars of styles
@@trev9168 what are you on about lmao, iguro barely keeps up with sanemi and gyomei lmao.
Tengen actually does have a moment where he tells Tanjiro to just go home and survive, but when he realizes Tanjiro isn’t gonna listen, that’s when he allows them to be so involved
True, but that was before the actual battle began, before he understood the real nature of Waxing Moon Six. Even after he figured it out, even after doubting himself, not once did he say "Run", "Go home", "Scram", or "Fall back"
Not until they had already emerged victorious.
“Set your heart ablaze.” That line just tears to my eyes, both Hashiras were perfectly written and executed in the best way possible. Damn I love demon slayer
donut
@@Rozutoo lmaooo bro said story
@@susmitapal823is there something wrong with that
SAME THO
I guess you love kyojuro. I admire him too
You gotta love and respect the way Tengen throws the alley-oop for Tanjiro to dunk all over Gyutaro. Usually its the guy who dunks the ball who gets the credit, but Tengen did what had to be done to make the necessary play. At first I thought no way anyone could follow up Rengoku’s performance but Tengen is a serious badass, and honestly every one of 4 hashira they’ve focused on so far have been incredibly cool and unique characters. Suffice to say this show does very well with its characters and it’s not solely the animation carrying it to so much success
I agree with you man❤️
The characters are so well written
The animation most definitely is what is carrying most of this anime's success. That being said, as someone who does think Demon Slayer is disgustingly overrated, the Hashira remain the one aspect of the show I genuinely believe are well written and have consistently been the thing in Demon Slayer that I've had no issues with what so ever. Pretty much all the characters I've enjoyed the most (except Inosuke) have all been Hashira.
@@lincolnbeckett8791 Hashiras is one the best Hero's group in anime
@@lincolnbeckett8791 Ngl, I believe it's the characters that carry the show
@@lincolnbeckett8791 Animation is for sure a major boon for the show, but the story and characters are what make it. Sure the story and characters are revolutionary but they don't need to be. It's the story of humanity fighting against monsters in the night even when grossly outmatched, it's the story of how those monsters were at one point in time humans themselves. Moreover, it's the story of a boy trying to save the only family he has left.
" this boy is not weak , do not insult him " - Kyojiro Rengoku
Rengoku taught Tanjiro that no matter how limited their human abilities are, they have to break their limits in order to protect the weak
Tengen taught Tanjiro to not let their confidence fade out and keep bringing out their all, no matter how inferior they feel
I’ll never get over Rengoku’s “Set your heart ablaze” and then Tengen just screaming “Don’t stop” chills for different reasons but chills none the less
Tengen is underrated asf he's only considered weak cuz he didn't unlock mark like the other hashira, and he stood strong like a gigachad against gyutaro base. Other hashira would probably have died from the poison (without mark) except for the gigagigachad gyomei since they don't have poison resistance experience. GIVE RESPECT TO TENGEN OR HIS GIGAGIGAGIGACHAD MICE (even one mouse is richer than ur whole family tree) WILL BEAT THE UNGIGACHAD OUTTA YOU
That's lot of giga in one paragraph but loved ur take.
its not his fault he didnt unlock the mark, tanjiro had to unlock it 1st and he only unlocked it when he was beheading gyutaro.. read chapter 128-130 the master's wife explained it for the training arc
Giga what???
I may add that in the time before the mark, Tengen was easily 3rd or 2nd in the ranking. The only points he lacked in were a proper breathing technique and he has no katana. But his physical strength and his hax like peak senses, musical score and shinobi body control as well as his endurance, stamina and speed were just really good. He's also the only hashira in this period who actually tracked down and hunted an upper moon. And it was the most hidden one.
But no. People with obanai or muichiro profile pic claim he's weak so ofc he has to be
Absolutely gyutaro is only um 6 because his poison doesn't work on demons but for human he is menacing terrifying to fight against
Tengen and the Kamaboko trio: *perform a miracle kill that hasn't been done in 100 years*
Obanai: yeah that's okay tho but wtf why just number 6 tho?
Also contrary to popular headcanon, Obanai was late because Hashira are assigned to specific regions of Japan, so he likely had to run there from miles away. Not helping was how he was the slowest Hashira due to habitually running in a zigzag pattern
Also, Kyojuro is the only Hashira to consistently arrive on time throughout the whole series. Mitsuri even lived right next to the fight and still got late at one point, while Muichiro was already at the scene for different reasons. Giyuu is always late due to being terrible at gathering information, and he sometimes even gets misidentified as the guy who killed the demon's victims, even almost getting arrested at least once.
Well Giyu's crow is very old so it makes occasional mistakes, and is overall rather slow at delivering the informations; it's not Giyu's fault really.
The concept of giyu almost getting arrested is so funny to me for some reason 💀
@@somedavidoguy_5629 He was accused of killing Tanjiro's family and was almost arrested actually.
WHAAaaat?! No way! 😱x
Isnt mitsuri the slowest?
I'd definitly say Rengoku captured to essence of being a Hashira and a symbol better, this is proven even more as he dosen't get nearly as much screen time yet he still remains relevant even after his death. It all just rolls back on his fortitude, Rengoku stood alone against Akaza. Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu were all way to weak to aid him in his fight, so he shined through the darkness even though he stood alone. Uzui on the other hand got alot of help from the trio, as they're stronger now and can actually aid in the battle rather than just get in the way of the Hashira. All I'm saying is that a beacon is portrayed better and more clearly if it stands alone, yet still shines through till the end.
Rengoku showed them what it meant to be a hashira, while Uzui showed them that they could become one.
@@Pillowcars Fair enough. And now the new Hashira, Mitsuri & Muichiro will teach them how to become a Hashira.
Well Rengoku being the flame hashira he literally is the pilot light of the whole group
Imo uzui needing help do not make him less of a hashira. Um 6 is 2 demon anyway. I think in 1v1 fight uzui would beat gyutaro.
@@ariffarhan5054 Nah cause you can see that in episode 10 when Tengen has completed his musical score they fight equal ground and no one has the upper hand (before the music score Gyutaro definitly had the upper hand in their dual). Uzui needed Tanjiro to aid him giving them the advantage and finish off Gyutaro. If Tanjiro hadn’t been their they would’ve continued fighting until either the poison or Gyutaro’s infinite stamina got the better of Tengen.
Mate your reviews are amazing your editing and just comminicating is so good ı realy felt everything you said in your haikyuu stormlight archive and demon slayer videos its just fasinating keep up mate .
I appreciate that bud! Thanks so much :)
Though we never see Kanae's fight with Doma, I always imagine it was similar to Rengoku's against Akaza. A fight where the hashira did not relent and kept on fighting until sunrise. Until Doma had to leave or risk dying from the sun. Kanae still lost, but she held back the number 2 upper moon until the sun started to rise.
Really love how the series manages to make the Hashira so different from one another yet deep down, share a common goal. Rengoku really did serve asa great introduction to what it meant to be a Hashira and the price that must be paid to protect innocent people. and the lives of those you care about. Tengen adds onto what Rengoku taught us to show us that the Hashira aren't perfect and all had been brought up under different circumstances. Yet, regardless of where you came from, you can change and do your best to grow yourself. Physically and morally. I think that's the beauty of Rengoku and Tengen. They are both these older brother mentor figures with such different ways at handling a situation. But at the core, they have a deep respect for themselves and others and will do anything to protect those they care about.
Really liked the video, one thing though, Tengen wasn't flashy, he was FLAMBOYANT.
Ah, yes, FLAMBOYANT indeed.
I don’t think you understand the level of excitement I had when opening RUclips and seeing this on my feed! I needed this video rn thanks dude
That means the absolute world to me! I'm glad you enjoyed my dude :)
Tengen and rengoku are amazing love their personalities
Rengoku is one of the best characters I have ever come across on any anime, and I don’t know very many. This is my very first one you could say I was spoiled just a little time that I had to get to know him I completely fell in love with his character, he was a good mentor and a very good big brother figure and I’m not that of an emotional person but I cried some manly tears just seeing how he fights to the death with a smile and he never gave up and just his background with his sick, mom that passed away I could relate to him . He will always go down as one of my favorite characters
Saw this from another video but I agree with...
That Rengoku is like the older brother that protects and admonishes his younger siblings, while Tengen is the rustle-your-hair, playful type older brother that will challenge you to grow.
Great video. We are truly blessed to be have been born in a time where these fictional characters were created.
amazing analysis of both my favourite characters in demon slayer
In mha all might always says to smile but when he nearly died fighting all for one he lost the smile but even when Rengoku died he had a smile on his face
I guess by your logic you can call yourself a hashira. You mentor and inspire people like me who have a wonder for these characters and ideas, by making it simple and understandable to learn.
You're too kind :) I appreciate that!
I love the review. But I think Tengen only works though the loss of Rengoku. Before that he would be to chaotic and the trio couldn't really follow up on his style.
Agreed, but it also goes both ways. I’m not sure if any other Hashira could’ve built upon what Rengoku left as well as Tengen.
@@HarshReviews oh. Yes definitely Rengoku showed them their first step to over come fear. He showed that the care of others sometimes goes beyond ones fears and while Tanjiro knew and possessed that, through Regoku it was harrnesed. Tengen really showed how to improvise and adapt, which was shown in two beautiful scenes, where Tanjiro and Zenitsu, saved own of his maidens with their styles combined and more importantly, the scene where Tanjiro combines the styles.... Still a thrilling moment.
Thank you for you quick reactions. Your videos really shine bright with their creativity and I can see that you want to teach and show, what you learned through shows. Keep going man ^^
That's a fine made video, brings back the feelings, first i loved rangoku and then i was obsesed of how tengen uzui suprised me and managed to bring an even better hashira, this video really tells about their characteristics ,better than some kids in the comments trying to fight which is the strongest
My favourite thing about the Hashiras is the fact they all have very different personalities, yet they all have a strong sense of justice.
Becoming a Hashira is not for the faint of heart. And sacrifice is the core of your being
Great video man! It's really amazing how even though these two characters appear in the story for such a short amount of time, it's honestly very fitting that this is as much time as they need to inspire others and give hope like you touched upon. The way you narrated/spoke about them really elevated the video itself to show off that beautiful side of these characters even more. Really spot on as always bro. Loved it!!
Glad you liked it my dude! Your feedback is always appreciated 🙏🙏
In the next arc I want to see our quartett of protags decimating "normal" demons. After the fight against Gyutaro and Daki they must've developed by leaps and bounds, so they need to show us how much stronger they have become. Just give us a small portion of the first episode of the next arc showing us a fight against a normal demon, where they totally dominate. Then go to the swordsmith villaige.
Sadge, I wish they did, Tanjiro really just going from Upper Moon to Upper Moon 😭
@@Minicario that is true. Some everday demon slayer activity would be cool
Honestly normal demons didn't stand a chance against them even before the Entertainment District, we see Tanjiro murdering one at the beginning of the arc. It'd be kinda inconsequential to show them kill non-kizuki demons after they can stand against something that's at least Lower Moon level
Well they did that at the start of the entertainment district arc. Tanjiro easily took down a demon.
@@lumilight4242 But it would show the growth and help ground the world of DS a bit. Showing that it's not just about the Kisuki and there are still other demons out there. And also showing how much our quad of heroes has grown. Just a little scrap of a scene or something would have been nice. To further immerse me, but they didn't do it, so this discussion is kinda pointless now, sadly.
Mitsuri bathing scene though xD
Congratulations, another great video where you really showed us what it means to be a hashira. Keep up doing this, I'm looking forward for the next one
Thanks so much!
Why are you such a good human, all of you're video teach me a new thing, whether to look to the future and push forward, or to finally take that one step and breath. And now to never give up and be that shinging hope I nedded.
I love your channel and your mind for sharing what I could never see on my own.
Thank you.
Such kind words! Thank you so much, this means a lot :)
Truly rengoku was a great man totally different from any other anime character same as vegeta is different from community ❤️ i love this man
How you were able to explain, portray, interpret the two was amazing! For this I look forward to more of your videos!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
your videos are so awesome and how you notice everything layout every small detail it's so amazing not only in Haikyuu but in Run with the wind in Demon slayer its just all to awesome !!! Thank you for making these videos they all are too awesome !!!
I've been watching your videos for the past few days now, I think I'm through most of them. It is beautiful how you put these emotions that I felt into words.
Amazing work my guy, you're gonna skyrocket soon :D
Rengoku taught us what a hashira is.
Tengen taught us that we could become a hashira.
This is by far the best character study/video essay I’ve ever seen on Demon Slayer.
As someone who has read the manga, you can tell how strong the Tanjiro/the boys are getting just observing the outcome of their respective battles with the Hashira they end up fighting alongside. It’s subtle but I think it’s brilliant.
This is seriously beautiful. I never thought of it that way but that's amazing.
You’re really underrated, keep on grinding and I just know you’re gonna make it! Because these videos are sooo good!
I can see that Rengoku was there to show, while Tengen was there to test.
A great way to put it!
I like how u said that I'd just change what u said a little Rengoku was there to show or teach while Tengen was there to do or put into action what they learned and trained for. When Inoskue said what was the point of all the training they started clicking and fighting more as a team. When he said that I could have cried.
And people like them really exist IRL. Thats the magic of demon slayer. Thank you for this video
Tengen doesn't doubt himself. He just accepts that he isn't the best, while still continuing the Fight.
Because like you said, he is practical.
Bookmarked until I watch the season because this man is goated ✅✅✅
All love brother
Man, I'm so glad that i found your channel.
incredible narration man, props to you, keep grinding and I know you'll make it!
Rengoku Kyojiro and Tengen Uzui are my favorite KNY characters, but I prefer the first one by a little
You should make a podcast I would totally listen to that. Also I love your videos they make me a better person and really think about the people around me
The moment before tengen and tanjiro double team the brother demon, tanjiro is looking for an opportunity to jump in, and tengen yells "Dont stop!" Not at himself but at tanjiro. He needs his help to kill this demon and he sees tanjiro almost as an equal and it was AWESOME. I enjoyed that fight a hell of a lot
I firmly believe that Rengoku is the calm and kind older brother who tries to do things for you and shows you things
Tengen is the rough and spuratic older brother. He teaches you by making you do everything with him. And while he can come across as a hard ass or a jerk he loves and cares about ya more than anything else. Both of them are amazing teachers
Man fuck everytime I hear Rengokus name I shed a few tears for my homie
I found your channel like 2 weeks ago and I just love the reviews. You need more recognition
I think, you are the most underrated youtuber i know (and also one of the best😉)
Perfect breakdown my dude. I honestly dont think it couldve been done any better. They were truly pillars of the demon slayer community and super pumped for the rest of the show after their display of courage and strength. Again 10 out of 10 job.
man. the fact ive cried in both arcs and this made me cry once again. i cant get enough of this masterpiece of an anime
Kyojuro is the definition of a "real man", of the kind of man every woman desires, and every man desires to be.
Tengen is also awesome, though less of a gentleman. His flaws make him more human, though, which has its own appeal and charm. His loyalty to his wives is inspiring as well.
Amazing video yet again, I really love watching these videos you make with greats edits and well articulated thoughts.
Rengoku set the Hashira example. Tengen set the Hashira experience. I think Tengen likely knew that Rengoku made them stay outta the battle. So he wanted to do something different and make them engage in the battle.
what a video. Thank you bro. I hope in future you can make another demon slayer prespective like this , or another anime like the OG Naruto hehe.
DONT HIT ME WITH THE SAD RENGOKU THEME WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT HIM UR GONNA MAKE ME CRY 😭😭😭😭
this channel is the best anime channel on youtube! keep up the awesome work man
Oml a harsh reviews vid I already love it
harsh popped off once again like ufotable :D the scripting is great, I approve as a manga reader
Appreciate you so much buddy.
Bossman back at it again, releasing bangers
Appreciate you Irui 🙏
INCREDIBLE WORK !!!
I LOVE HOW YOU TALKED ABOUT ME AND TENGAN !!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HARSH REVIEWS !!!
RENGOKU SAN?!
@@HarshReviews 🍩 you already dead rengoku 🍩
just earned a new sub. keep up the good work
After the infinity castle arc, you understand the other pillars.
W video, my 2 favourite hashira 😮💨
When Tengen said “ I’m at my best when I’m poisoned” I loved him🔥🔥😂😂
“To stand as a beacon of hope where there is none.”
Sanemi:…..
Thanks for this video! You yourself posses the essence of what it means to be a Hashira!
This is what I keep telling people. The Demon Slayer anime is AMAZING!! But the author wrote an amazing story. It's inspiring and deep, even as it is simple and straight forward. The beauty of Demon Slayer the manga is that it knows the story it wants to tell, and it tells that story well. The beauty of Demon Slayer the anime is that it is stunningly animated and breathtaking.
Awesome video man. And I totally agree. I loved Rengoku and was so sad at his death. Btw I would love for a video on the Stormlight archives about Adolin, because man I think like Taln he does not get enough credit.
Thanks! Adolin is just fantastic, will definitely think about it :)
@@HarshReviews Awesome, and man your video on these guys and Taln are so damn good!
Rengoku is such a bro. I love it.
Dude this is so good dude I love it you got my subscribe
you deserve more likes
Goddamn.. this hits me some type of way. Very nice video.
Let’s get that bread!!! Another beautiful review 🔥
Thanks homie! Much appreciated :)
Love this video
Thought it would be like the others just stating obvious matters
But you went deeper made me realize and appreciate the plot more
your videos has a beautiful style ;)
Wow the way you explained this made me love this anime even more😎
Excellent video, best anime channel, keep up !!
W harsh it was a nice watch ngl
Thanks Avent, I appreciate you brother!
What does it mean to be a hashira? To have the animators spend their entire budget on them. Great vid btw
Really good breakdown.
Tengen is so underrated.everyone says he is bottom 3 of the hashira when he is arguably the strongest hashira
Pre-HTA and Unwavering Resolve Arc, he's probably the second strongest behind only Gyomei.
I can't wait to see gyomei in action, he will redefine the meaning of Hashira/Pillar
Love your video review on Rengoku and Uzui.😁
Best as always
Can we please get an updated version of this to include Muichiro Tokito. I loved his arc in season three, going from arrogant as can be simply because of he gained the title of Hashira. To flipping that around and being a selfless, protective, inspiring leader like a Hashira should be. Like Rengoku and Tengen.
Great video! great use of inflections. Awesome job! Looking forward to watching more!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
Tegan is my spirit animal, I strive to be like him
Absolutely love your each and every video. One request, Can you make something about one piece, like personality review of Luffy or something like this, Thanks, Love your Content
each hashira down the line shows what it truly means to be a hashira. especially Sanemi obanai and Giyu.
?
like what
Can't wait for part 2 of this video on Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji
If they're this hype, of course.
@Oikawa No not at all. These are the best written ones, with the most narrative role.
@Oikawa Yes, they aren't. In terms of character writing and narrative importance, they are not better than Rengoku and Tengen. Both of their character arcs were rushed, especially iguro, he was such a wasted potential.
@Oikawa yeah, if you are talking about those typical shounen powerups then, yes. They are. But character wise, not really. They both had hype as hell fights but iguro's character arc was rushed asf. And, yeah, I understand mangaka's problems.
Adding to your point, tengan even let's his wives help him on dangerous missions.. whereas rengoku goes solo for most.. i an sense rengoku is like a brighter sasuke and tengan is an extremely cool naruto 😂
Also, this is a personal opinion, but the small assymtery in the thumbnail bugs me a little.😅
Not that it takes away from the video experience which was *chef's kiss*
Great breakdown
they are quite literally pillars of hope
everysingle time you feel like you're about to lose
it just takes one hashira to make you go "alright were good, nvm theres still hope"
your legs could be gone
your arm is completely broken
and you have a 3rd of the amount of people you came with
and you'd still feel like you would win if just one of them came into the field
Undying resolutions and determination and strength to live on that's what it means to be a hashira
amazing. just amazing.
Exceptionally beautiful video!!
