What Tanjiro’s Kindness means in Demon Slayer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- So I've been watching Demon Slayer since last season, and the most notable thing about the series aside from its amazing production is the amount of kindness weaved into its story through its protagonist, Tanjiro. At first, I took his kindness for granted, but once I was introduced to his dynamic with Inosuke and Zenitsu, the rest was history.

Same bro same 😢
He’s a good boi
So do I ? 😭😢😢
Y e s
Honestly Tanjirou is the characters that I always wished for. He's not that "I can't kill because killing bad" but he still possess empathy but knows what he has to do.
i mean to be fair u cant really use the "killings is bad" thing in the demon slayer universe cuz he demons are literally threats to humanity and cant control themselves. nezuko is shown to be an anomaly and the only reason yushiro is chill is cuz tamayo knew how to control and ease him into being one. so not killing a demon is not an option. in other stories usually there are other ways to stop the villains without needing to kill them and these villains end up being humans who do horrible shit but are still human so killing them with no mercy is kinda really dark for me personally. but if there is no way to stop villains but to kill them then that should be the option or else it will cause more death in the future.
like u said, i really like that tanjiro says he knows his duty and will kill demons with no hesitation but he will offer them prayer and kindness to those who are hurting and repent their actions. also i realized recently that almost none of these demons remembered their human lives clearly. i dont wanna give any more examples cuz idk if you've read the manga but it basically just proves tanjiro's line that demons are pitiful tragic creatures
I agree. Using the argument that "killing is bad" is just averting your eyes from the reality of things. People who commit these crimes won't learn anything from receiving mercy in that way. I believe what Tanjiro is doing is the right way to go about it. Punish them for their crimes, and then give them a gentle release when they are fading away because in the end they were just a person in pain that received no help.
M sure he is using plunderer's reference :v
@@adisaster8734 not true. You can still say killing is bad. For contrast, he isnt killing his demon sister is he? The slayers are still taking lives when killing demons as their were human.
In this case, it’s just as much a “mercy killing” if anything, as he’s freeing these ppl from suffering that not even decapitation can end.
Besides, the fact that he kills quickly, and with the sole purpose of ending further suffering (both for the demons’ victims AND for the demons themselves) makes this more of a “cruelty is bad, killing is a necessary evil (& Quicks deaths are a mercy)” situation.
Tanjiro to almost every person that is younger than him: I’m your older brother now
Make that everyone. He's younger than Zenitsu and Inosuke and still treat them like his younger siblings
nezuko to the demons that are decades older then her: you are my younger siblings
Bruh he means tanjiro treats them as if their a member of his family
Goddamn this is hard to read
It doesnt matter
Older person :
Tanjiro: I SHALL BE YOUR OLDER BROTHER AND TAKE CARE OF YOU
"In the show's eyes, demons don't exist because we are the demons" *bro..*

Tanjiro learned the hard way that the first human every demon kills is themself.
Damn man 😔😔😔
You didn’t have to hit us with that bro 😢
Honestly, if I was Tanjirou I wouldn't be able to pray for them. I wouldn't be able to mourn them. He is such an amazing character, because despite his hardships he always remembers that demons were once human. He won't forgive them for killing people but he can find it in his heart to pity them, even in their dying moments. I love his character so much.
Tanjiro is an incredible character.
Except for Nezuko
This whole video was a pep talk and now I’m crying
*hands a tissue*
*takes tissue*
*steals tissue together with the whole box*
SilverDragonGamin NL **beats to the ground for tissue**
*sitting in the corner shook*
His kindness, the way he smiled at the man who yelled at screamed at him telling him that he had no idea what it felt like to loose someone even though he just had lost his entire family. Tanjiro has sympathy, empathy, he’s pure.
Edit: lmao damn thanks for the likes guys
He didn t just smile, he let the agressiv movement of the other guy without even like throwing his hands away, he was just like "I know it s hard, be strong, I m with you"
I cried in that moment...
That is what you call a true best boi
Lillie Sanders not pure but understanding and kind pure is something that can be corrupted and move at it on emotion and desire
1:54-2:08 *hears "Man of Constant Sorrow" on my playlist running*
Honestly, how a guy like Tanjirou can go through all these troubles without breaking down before other people is a challenge in and of itself. Yet he goes a step further in putting that aside when someone else who's also going through suffering is in need of consolation. I agree with OniMaru in this analysis: this takes strength and diligence to accomplish. His overview on Tanjirou's nature was a clean cut for me. (He is my vote for best-boy in this series for that reason.)
But I do have to disagree partially with his first comment on Nezuko for the first 15 seconds into the video. Not in that she's a plot device (we can all confess that as truth), but in that her fighting nature on screen for half of her time there and her lack of a conscious mind resulting in a careless mood during her other half of time on screen only reserves her to a background character. But then again, the show is mostly in the 1st person perspective, as for a majority of the first half of the series (especially episodes 1-5,) we've only really delved into Tanjirou's P.O.V.
Though that is true at a first look (and with what we have with this first season only covering merely 1/4 of the manga so far), looking in retrospect she's very similar to her big brother Tanjirou. If you remember her at the beginning of the episode, you could see that she cares for her younger siblings as much as Tanjirou does. The only difference is now that their father passed away, Tanjirou and Nezuko had to slowly take the father-mother roles despite still being kids; Tanjirou was the working father going into town selling charcoal, and Nezuko was the nurturing mother having to watch over the kids in her mother's stead. On that fact alone, I argue that Nezuko love based on tactile skills and interaction with others is a bit more clear than Tanjirou's. Throughout their lifetime Tanjirou still is on top. But from the time their father, Tanjuro, passed away; Nezuko had to support the family interactively while Tanirou supported the family financially. Therefore, Nezuko was the one that had the more developed sibling skills for that time period.
But putting that aside, she still relies on her older brother for a lot of her needs to be met. She is his biggest role-model as a sibling. His good example as a caretaker and provider bled through into Nezuko as she started to take up that same job. And she cherishes her beloved brother for that and wants nothing less than the best for him as a token of her gratitude, appreciation, and admiration.
And both of those factors mentioned start to play out when Nezuko turned into an oni. OniMaru already stated how stricken Tanjirou must have felt when he came home to see his family slaughtered. But Nezuko? She was there. She's a strong and independent young woman as a human, but compared to Muzan (the Devil incarnate in this series) she had no chance of saving anyone yet alone manage to survive herself. We saw how she was thrown out the door with Rokuta in her arms. Based on that knowledge from Chapter/Episode 1 and her flashback in Chapter 82 of the manga, we can see that she witnessed her family massacred first hand, and that she was powerless in saving them. I believe that is the reason why she cried when she saw Tanjirou the next day; She felt she had failed her family and her big brother as the big sister, for she was overshadowed with guilt of surviving and not being able to be a factor in her family's survival. Exactly like Tanjirou. And like Tanjirou, her resolve was to at least protect the only thing she has linked to her humanity and love left, Tanjirou. When Giyuu knocked out Tanjirou after he attempted to charge at him, she retaliated and went at Giyuu as a way to ward off what she knew was a threat to the one part of her family she had left.
She then went on to play her role as big sister in a new transformed way: An older sister for the human race. Once again, this is a direct parallel to Tanjirou; Only Nezuko's motive out of defending the human race is out of justice instead of sympathy. While Tanjirou also fights for justice, Nezuko's fighting style is more emphasized in that motive for battle. She recognizes the human race as something to be protected and that oni are to be kept ways away from them at all costs. She will never forgive an oni that dares harm or consume another person. And once she's identified one of those oni, she's not turning back on that decision. She'll raise hell and eat cornbread without a second thought. Because she is not going to let any of Muzan's kind repeat what happened to the Kamado family again. Not while she's around.
[Commenter] But Vince, she's still lacking conscience. She's not as independent as she once was.
True. She's more on the reliant side of the spectrum. Especially since (as of now) she has to completely rely on Tanjirou for protection 'gainst the sun. But like how Tanjirou relies on Nezuko to push on in his mission, Nezuko relies on Tanjirou to push on in *her* mission. Her character development rest on her brother's foundation. This is brought to light in Episodes 22-23/Chapter 47 where she's tried and tempted by Sanemi at the Demon Slayer Hashira meeting. Tanjirou had to come in and verbally intervene. All he did was run to the edge of the platform and call out his sister's name. And that was enough for her to role back in time and remember why she has come so far: because she loves her family. And she still does today, in her big brother. And thanks to Urokodaki's hypnotic suggestion, she now has a duty to fulfill in defending the human race.
[Commenter] How is that like Tanjirou? This still makes her seem like a weak character if she relies on others. Not to mention her aggressive nature as a demon that kind of ruins your argument that Nezuko is an independent character not relying on others.
Well does Tanjirou not have characteristics of naivety and hesitation? He has those things holding him back as a demon slayer even to this day. And the only things that get him out of that bubble is his allies and his family. He relies on others to be his basis to fight as a demon slayer. Those things are true and honest-to-God reasons to fight. So does that make him a "weak character?" What doesn't hinder your performance or stays off to the sidelines must make you stronger.
And I'm not arguing that Nezuko's a fully independent character. No one in Kimetsu no Yaiba is truly independent. For just like in real life, all the characters in KnY rely on a motivational factor to be able to move forward. What I *am* saying is that she needs a motive to be able to fight. For what are you fighting for if you have all but a reason? You can be the strongest warrior that the world has ever known or the most frail of peasants, and still fight if you have a motive. Be it Money, Power or in the Kamado siblings' case: Love, Justice, Peace, and Salvation.
That's just my take in defense of Kamado Nezuko. I may be a little biased since I love her. But I love Tanjirou too. And you can't have one of them without the other. They are best-duo. They are what I believe siblings should be. And as an older brother in the same age group as Tanjirou, their example is something that I want to obtain. This show was one where I was finally able to find a wholesome, non-incest sibling relationship to base mine off of.
Plus, their both so adorable together! There's a reason why they're my profile picture.
In a nutshell, Tanjiro is saying, "I can't forgive you for being a murderer but that doesn't mean you don't deserve sympathy."
Thats true
yes 😭
Some empathy as well
YES
@@fbiagent3998 especially empathy, you're right.
what sets tanjiro apart is his genuine kindness and selflessness. unlike other shonen protagnosit its not always about him , it never was. He lives to protect his sister. His kindness is not the type that makes him weak or vulnerable, its a weapon that allows him to draw his sword with a resolve. Truly a well written and balanced character
He is not naive too. So many characters in shonen dont kill their enemies, resulting in horrible consequences and bullshit reformation. Demon Slayer doesnt do that. Tanjiro kills these demons, but takes a moment to extend his condolences. In death their sins have been paid, allowing kindness for them to justified. Im not buddhist, but their hell is not eternal and once it is done these demons will return to the earth as something else.
@@Joawlisdoingfine well said, this actually reminds of the scene where giyuu told tanjiro to not waste time sympathizing with demons and tanjiro replied saying that he will always kill the demons when he has to but that will not stop him for having empathy for them
@@Joawlisdoingfine Tanjiro is naive, but he doesn't let his naivety take over during his fights with the oni. His naivety is usually between interactions with other humans during the series's downtime.
How he puts his weaknesses and his sorrows aside is amazing. When he fights, his primary purpose for his warrior status comes back to mind: protect the human race, seek a cure for his beloved sister, and bring justice to all the innocent lives taken at Muzan's hand by cutting him down and ending his reign.
Vincent Reyes
I guess his simple nature works for him
Yeah he's the type who becomes the protagonist by not trying to be the protagonist. He could just as easily of been a well fleshed out side character yet would have been loved as much or more then whatever protagonist they'd chosen.
Everyone should be kind to each other like Tanjiro
Hmmh
He is the ideal human
he also turned into a demon/muzan, truly humanity

Dad: **WHY ARE YOU CRYING SO LOUD**
Lol
wtf
Here’s where we differ. Those kind protagonist in other animes never really came across as kind to me. It wasn’t their kindness that takes center stage. It’s more of their will, determination, and never backing down attitude. WHEREAS Tanjiro, he’s a beacon. His kindness was front and center to me from the very beginning and one of the reasons why this character resonated so much with me. He still has will, determination, resolve, etc but you can see that it’s not the driving point of his character. And later on, the thing that cemented Tanjiro as one of the best protagonist, in my opinion, is he isn’t just kind. He’s also empathetic and that sits even deeper with me.
YES
Facts
ofc
THAT, is exactly why Tanjiro is my favorite anime protagonist, cause he's such a breath of fresh air for me. (Although, I still have my other favorites like Vash, Guts, Edward, or Nagisa).
Right it feels like whenever a protagonist is kind their only kind to their crushes, or their friend group/friends and that’s it. But Tanjiro is genuinely a kind person with good manners, he’s kind to everyone friend and foe even when the demons make him mad he’s still kind enough to give them a painless death and whenever he’s irritated with Zenitsu & Inosuke he’ll tell them off but in like a scolding type of way not coming off as mean or rude but like a parent being strict but understanding.
We really don’t deserve Tanjiro. He’s truly a well written character
ok
I do, I need some happiness and warmth of the sun!
thats why we dont have him irl
@@knockergd2234 👽
He is that type of characters that only god's can create with no flaws just a perfect Human being

I immediately fell in love with Tanjiro's character because he's an older sibling, like me. I would try my best to help my sister succeed, or give her the last piece of pizza, or if someone calls her an eyesore, I WILL THROW HANDS!!!!!

I've had a lot of conversations about Tanjiro and why he feels different, and what I've found is that a lot of protagonists are "kind in spite of the cost of strength", "kind in the face of danger". But Tanjiro is "strong because he is kind" he is a force not of vengeance or "need to be the greatest", but in a dramatic shift away from a lot of shonen protagonists, Tanjiro is a force of mercy. He sees the pain that demons go through but still does not hesitate to fight and kill them, he doesnt struggle to do so because to him he is bringing mercy to them, not death or hatred. That's what makes him different in my opinion.
facts
Actually he did hesitate although it was only once.
That demon on the way to Mt Sagiri. He didn't know how to kill him. So he picked up a stone and still hesitated wondering if the demon will suffer.
Facts
"These two crazy, loveable idiots." Best way to describe Inosuke and Zenitsu.

"Nezuko is a plot device"
Me: *laughs in manga reader*
*Cries in future*
*What's a plot device?*
we crying
*ahahahahahahahahahhahahaha-..... uhuhuhuhu hug me
Haha
I'll tell you why Tanjiro is so kind
1. He knows that demons can't change the way they are it's not like all of them wanted it. They were humans who also had it hard,who had something to do or protect like Nezuko who tried to protect her little brother.
2. He puts himself in other people's shoes like a empath would that can feel other people's emotions
3. He doesn't ever judge anyone by their looks it's like the saying don't judge a book by its cover,but I like to add until you read the story meaning he won't ever judge you until he gets to know you as well as relate,and show the emotion that you always needed. Like comfort,love and knowing
I absolutely AGREE with you
@@eigenrauflinog9069 Thanks
Wow man love to read that especially the empath part

Doggo :3 wut about deku
I cannot disagree
Tanjiro's kindness seems more authentic than loudmouth, validation-seeking Naruto.
Fun fact, I know that you may not have related to any of the characters, but myself as a person found Zenitsu's story to be highly(almost unfairly) relatable in that I *want* to succeed and meet the expectations of those around me, but I'm not the kind of person who can simply psyche myself up to a massive physical or mental challenge.
late comment, but yeah I feel the same, honestly. not surprised that zenitsu is my favorite character of the series. the fact that I can relate to him so much still amazes me.
Zenitsu has become one of my all time favourite anime characters cuz I can relate to him way too much....just like you do ^_^
this is so loud
I’m late but I relate to this too. As someone who struggles with generalized anxiety I saw a lot of my self in this beautiful nervous wreck of a character. It does take a lot of self assuring to convince myself to even do simple tasks but it doesn’t mean I won’t try. I just have to work harder at it
As a manga reader that finished the manga YALL ARENT ready this kid is precious and must protect. He’s such a kind human being one of the MCs I actually like, such a sweet kid he never complained about his life and all the shit he goes thru. He’s best boy 🥺🥺 idk how to explain

@@theparodywizard677 And now I want to read a fic with that.
this is exactly what makes Tanjiro one of my favourite characters. I find it so interesting that before he trained with Urokodaki, he was called weak and slow and that his sympathy for the demons is considered a weakness, but we then get to see him get stronger and learn the skills necessary to become an efficient demon slayer without losing that part of him. My heart reaches out to those demons he treats with kindness in their last moments - it's so refreshing and I honestly cry every time it happens because he still has the capacity to offer them kindness and respect, during and even after their deaths (e.g. yelling at Giyu after the battle with Rui).
Tanjiro’s character is such a huge breath of fresh air...I’ve honestly never been so emotionally impacted by an anime before. Sure ones like Naruto and FMA have made me sob, and I think they’re beautifully written, but something about Demon Slayer and it’s characters really hit different. I feel like this video explained it really well. Tanjiro’s kindness
SPOILER AHEAD!!!!
Is so overwhelming that it literally manifests in his subconscious stops the boy that was trying to kill him by entering his heart in the Mugen Train Arc and I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that before in a shounen anime. I’m so in love with this show/manga and it’s characters. Gotouge sensei is a genius 🥺❤️

tanjiro lost half of his family from those demons and leaving nezuko as his only priority but as of that he treats every single person equally. despite being in a world full of despair he still manages to fight with care and purpose and he learned from the hardest like loosing his family and watching people die in front of his eyes. tanjiro is one of those anime characters that i truly respect and adored 🙂
Bro this started off as
“What does this guy know saying Tanjiro is underdeveloped-“
To actual tears
Totally bud... It felt like getting hit by a truck of emotions
This is literally the first time I’ve never properly cried cause of a video
@@wholethere9535 I have never seen an anime character so humanized and relatable. Tanjiro has the confidence of Goku, determination of Naruto, selflessness of Ed and Al, but he is his own. This show has driven me to be a better person to the people around me. To do what is right and stand up to what is wrong. The firs time I saw Tanjiro vs Rui, I cried. The surge of emotion plus visuals were amazing. When Nezuko woke up and use her blood demon art, it was just a masterpiece. This is not the greatest anime but it is my favorite anime.
I feel like people who initially don't like or understand Tanjiro as a character might have expected a different sort of shonen protagonist. He is very similar to traditional shonen protagonists in that he's brave, has strong morals and loudly speaks up, while he also has a noticeable soft and gentle side. And too often we interpret gentleness and kindness as "bland" and "weak". So I absolutely agree with you that the beauty of Demon Slayer is that it shows how this kindness is actually the biggest sign of strength- being angry and mean is much easier than retaining one's compassion, even for the enemy.
Those are just the people who like edgy and more layered characters. Some people favor characters who aren't that morally righteous and light sided. They want a main protagonist who can show the different shades of grey. It's why characters with a trash personality like Bakugou from My Hero gets so popular. They see main characters like that and want to follow their story to see how they ultimately turn out. Honestly I myself love simple kind characters like Tanjiro who can prove that their kindness makes them far from weak.

I’m the oldest so I can relate to some of this stuff. Hard but fulfilling
Im the oldest son but not generally oldest
Being the eldest is fun, you have authority over your siblings 🤷♀️ We may look like jerks for being too strict to them but atleast they're safe.
I’m second oldest and I’m the biggest shit in my whole family lmao.
Majestrys lmao what, I’m terrified of my younger sibling. If I try to have some authority, he gon’ whoop my ass with his martial arts.
What's the similarity between my sister and Tanjirou and Nezuko? We're both the same general respective age difference and age group as the Kamado siblings, and we're both the eldest. But my little sister's more of a Nezuko than I am a Tanjirou. Plus, she hates me and my ***. Maybe if she'd watch this anime, she'd have a change of heart and we can be best friends again like when we were kids.
How he didnt cry every single day even though his family died? Damn if i was him i would've cried every seconds. His heart is so kind and strong at the same time
He did become very emotional especially in the movie. But he tries his best to move on and become stronger

And yeah haters thought this anime is overrated .
@@saimyintmyat9373fr tho
When you talked about how Tanjiro’s identity probably revolved solely in being an older brother to his siblings and then the despair he must’ve felt when his whole life was stripped away from him was beautiful. I loved this analysis.
Everybody said this anime would be boring, AND THEY WERE PROVED WRONG. I recommend this anime to ppl when it first came out (including the manga) and when the later EP came out they listened.
FACTS. i LOVE EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT. can't wait for the manga to be fully animated
Damn this guy knows how to speak
Giyu's troubled expression when he sees Tanjiro on his knees begging for his sister's life, hearing the sincerity and desperation of it and realising how devastated he is always gets me. And so does him showing such kindness to the demon in the final selection. That part always makes me choke up, seeing him gently grasp the fading hand, and it closing around his hand some...this show has a way of pulling at your heartstrings.

Thank you for this video, this tears came as a relief and proud of my actions. I understand you Tanjiro boy s2
Never let the bad things in our world shade the light of goodness in you. Keep calm, keep kind.
What a comment man loved it
When I first saw the scene where the guy was screaming that Tanjiro that he didn’t know what it was like to lose someone so dear, I could see it in Tanjiro’s eyes and I just said, “Oh you sweet summer child..” out loud.
I remember gandalfs quote suddenly: "True courage is not when to take a life but when to spare one."
Good quote,but does not seem relatable to this video
Watching Tanjirou being nice to everyone and hearing his voice makes me wanna hug him.
The creator of this character put up much effort on him that he's genuine kindness and his resolve rivals other main characters in terms of how to deal with situations.
Onimaru: “tanjiro keeps them in line”
Manga readers: **intense sobbing**
Read the newest one, I'll assure you we don't need to cry anymore :')
@@MiyaSakur4 tru
@@zzz-yb4gn no reason why u shouldnt do both! i watched the anime and then jumped into the manga which is complete btw. in october its the movie and its only 1 arc and then u gotta wait for season 2. reading the manga before the anime will spoil u for whats to come but the way i see it, with the manga u get the creator's full vision and story and will basically get all the info, characters, the development etc. and then u can watch the anime when it comes out and it will still hit u hard cuz the animation and soundtrack will be epic. if u go with anime first then the manga will feel a bit dull cuz manga doesnt have those extra things to add to the experience. also if u are watching demon slayer videos on youtube, you WILL get spoiled cuz this fandom has a hard time with spoiler warnings even on video titles and thumbnails and getting spoiled for this story sucks
:')
im crying because it ended. Thank god he didnt hurt nezuko that badly
This video made tears fall from my eyes, it really shows how much of a burden older siblings carry, the only thing they want is for the younger ones to be happy. Even if your not an older sibling u can still show people kindness weather it’s your older sibling parents grandparents, or even just a random little kid at school. Even if u suffered try to be positive and help others do they do not have to suffer as you did. Those who hv the biggest smile are the ones that have suffered the most but they are also the strongest. So let’s all try to show others that we care about them!
I don't know if you're going to see this or not but I would like to extend my gratitude. You not only put this anime in a new like you also put my role in a new light as well. Thank you, that meant a lot.
You are welcome.
Tanjiro is a great protagonist, after watching a few episodes. He really does act like a older brother.
Man he will do some thing that no protagonist have ever done
Naruto: Punches his friend and talk no justsu
Tanjiro: Brotherly love and affection and see everybody as family
It was the fact that he was nice within reason that got me really hooked on this show. Usually when you get characters as kind as Tanjiro, they want everyone to live 😑, no matter how much wrong they've done. I like that he accepts those sins and deals with it but also shows sympathizes with the other demons.
”i gotta kill you. You've kinda had it coming and it's my job to do so, but I feels for you man. R. I. P.”
I also didn't think his background was going to be that harsh. I mean... I'm not gonna lie, I started watching this because Nezuko was mad cute getting into that basket and I thought ” I have to watch this whole anime”, but it was surprisingly upsetting for me cause I got attached to his little family so quickly and then...well...y’all know.
And there was just the impression that the art left on me that just made the storyline that much better to me.
I've never been a stickler for those types of things because it ruins anime for people, but the art in Demon Slayer just spoke to my mind differently.
Omg yes his philosophy is pretty much “your trauma is valid but not an excuse to be shitty” and I love that. It’s so rare to find in fictional characters who are either all or nothing
I absolutely agree with you.
You made me cry. Tanjiro made me cry for everything. Why so pure boy?
“
Balance between these two crazy lovable idiots”....
GOD DANG RIGHT 😌
Really loVaBLe bAkAs😌💞
Tanjiro knows what suffering is, after all, he experienced it. The fact that he can show kindness to demons who have devoured others is inspirational.
"So imagine how it felt when he-"
Me: "STOP!! RIGHT!! THERE!!! THIS AIN'T A TRY NOT TO CRY CHALLENGE!!!!!1!!!!1!!"
Also me: "...or is it..?"
Now this is a dope analysis of the characters!
I honestly feel like most people who watched demon slayer watched it because of “the girl with the bamboo mouth” But when she kind of disappears for plot mainly you are left with Tanjiro and get attached depending on who you are
Really? When I heard of demon slayer, the only character I knew was Tanjiro- I saw Zenitsu too but had no idea who he was lol
@@igotthatdawginme22 Ah my bad, well it's what my experience was at least. I hear it from a lot of other people too.
Even as an older sister, i get put down alot for not being as smart or as pretty by my family. But it took me 6 years and 2 friends to tell me that ive done my best. Tanjiro makes me work harder to keep being kind even as the world doesn't return those gestures. This video makes me work harder to love my sisters as silly as they are. Thank you.
This show reminds me that my family was ripped apart and that I am an older brother who failed to uptake his responsibility.
10/10 would recommend
OMFG!!! So sorry for your loss! What happened?
whatever happens, i hope you stay strong.
I...I umm think this was a joke guys..😅
When you said Tanjiro treats Zenitsu and Inosuke like his younger siblings it made my heart burst, literally teared upfcbajkfvbas
This person didn’t take a single breath
Conclusion: he’s a merman thriving in the ocean of our tears.
Depression : Exists
Tanjiro : im your older brother now
I need a Tanjiro in my life
I, too need a tanjiro in my life
@@misutasa same
his the older brother we never had😭
I need Tanjiro and Nezuko 😂😂😂
see this is why demon slayer is one of the best out there right now. It's portrayal of a truly kind character such as Tanjiro has to be some of the most poetic and brilliant shit i have ever seen in anime. People really underestimate him, like how onimaru did.
I remember when this series first came out, in manga form, the many international fans that read manga were so against a shounen character like Tanjirou and that he didn't deserve to be a part of the Shounen Jump franchise due to him not fitting the "standard shounen they knew or grew up with". The few of us who stood with the series until the anime announcement came was so happy that Shounen Jump picked up this series and did not drop it as it became so popular in Japan that an anime was possible. As the anime began reaching a bigger audience overseas Tanjirou became so much loved internationally as well as the series as a whole. I fell in love with this series because of Tanjirou. He's so relatable in many ways - being an eldest myself of many siblings I had to sacrifice some things in life too while growing up and even now. I don't know how long the series will go on for but I do know for sure that it's now being loved worldwide which makes me happy about it because it deserves it.
😢 let's go tanjiro
That’s the old generation. You know how old people are like, “it was better in my days”, just shut up and let people enjoy what they like
Manga has finished ;-; There will be a second season for anime I think
@@Tapiocamelon I believe so, even the seiyuu had said that even though the manga is done, the series will continue with the animation. So until then, Kimetsu no Yaiba isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
@@kiabpaj Tanjiro is one of the best Shonen protagonists for this generation along side Deku both of them have kindness as their fatal flaw which makes them a little bit different from other Shonen protagonists.
I love how you explain it beautifully. When i first watched it, i couldn't understand it either but when the demon's past keep showing everytime they're dying, i now understand it. We all have demons in ourselves. We all have been hurt before. The way Tanjiro keep being kind to other especially the demon, it warms my heart.
As a younger sibling who is ignored/hated by my whole family Tanjiro's kindness made me cry every time
Really ??your family hated you😢😢.how pitiful😩😩
Same
I'm your big sister now, no questions
*Ok, why isn't your older sibling doing their role?*
(Yass a Rui reference-)
I’m your big bro now, you don’t have a say in the matter.
This literally had me to tears... This is such a good description and hits the nail on the head. I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS ANIME! I'm the second of 3 kids in my family. And thinking back, I can see it from both sides. Seeing how much my older sister had to go through because she was the oldest - what she spared me from. But I can also see the things I do to spare my little brother, and the lengths that I would go to for him. AWESOME VIDEO! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!
I feel like there aren’t enough “kind” main characters in media. Most cliche protagonists are determined, confident people striving to get to their goal, and while Tanjiro *is* like that, he portrays it much more realistically. He’s patient, kind, slow to speak, and simple. He’s not prideful or overly hyper, he’s simply a young man working diligently towards his goal. And, he forgives! Gosh, it means the world to me how forgiveness is a common theme throughout this show. It’s about showing compassion to those that were lead astray onto the wrong path (demons). He impacts all of the characters he meets in every way, meaning he subconsciously “kills them with kindness”. In the later arcs, they do all look up to and respect tanjiro for his compassion and he serves as inspiration in the Hashira’s final battles. Praise Tanjibro 👏
I absolutely agree with you. Tanjiro has genuine kindness and he's willing to befriend people. He also sympathetic and he understands that other people has been in bad situations like him.
What sets Tanjirou apart from other "kind shonen protagonists" is that he's kind even compared to other good morale characters. Most "protagonists whose main personality is being nice" is only kind compared to their asshole environment, they are only seems nice because everyone else is much worse than them (coughcough haremprotagonists).
But Tanjirou is the kind of people you would genuinely look up to irl.
FACTS
An analysis on nezuko: we must protecc her
And she protecc us from demonz
Nezuko is 14 parallell universes ahead of us.
I cried during all of the demons backstorys. ALL. Rui is one of my favorite characters.
4:19 "Kindness is the most powerful weapon, but at the same time, the most difficult to wield"
Also it really easy to corrupt
Agreed
I just remember a time where one of my classmates was stealing food off my plate, and I told him if he wanted it he could have some. But he said "It's no fun if you're just giving it to me". He makes me think of Inosuke 🐗
THANK YOU this is why demon slayer is one of my favorites. It shows kindness. Kindness is my motive, the thing that keeps me moving. However I fail time and time again to show it. As an older sister, I can relate to Tanjiro, I'm far behind him, but I can strive to be kind to others.
God dam, that was deep. Makes me want to rewatch the series again
Do it again
This analysis is very well said and also makes me reflect on my role as the oldest sibling. Sometimes it's hard to be kind and not expect anything in return because it feels like you're not acknowledged and you feel unappreciated for what you do, but I've always been willing to to sacrifice my ambitions in order for my younger ones to flourish more than myself.
1:13 is so relateable, especially with younger brothers, I'll give them their favourite pieces from my dish or just let them have some of my food, it just makes me feel happy seeing them happy.
Tanjiro is such a well-written and relatable character that makes me want to be a better sibling.
True with my 2 younger Bros I can relate
I relate to you
As another protective older sibling, I loved Tanjiro and related to him from the very beginning. I have three younger sisters and a little brother, and Tanjiro's love and devotion to Nezuko are inspiring to me. His personality reminds me of my own as well, if I were stronger and more selfless. Tanjiro is the person I want to be.
Yea this is very true
I can relate 🙋♀️
this the main reason why tanjiro is one of my most beloved and comfort characters,he's really the best boy ever and means a lot to me what he represents and teach and show to the audience. He's not just a sofite silly dumb guy,he's just the whole DEFINITION of what truly kindness is and means and how much more people need to learn about it
in all that constant long history of pure hate and demons and humans killing each other, tanjiro was the only one to do and show something different. He was the only one that could cut off the hate and rage and killing,and remind them to the demons who they were,and save them by showing them that kindness and compassion andgave them that warmth,and like that,their souls go to a better place,feeling much better and getting back what they needed.
He just makes everything so much better for everyone,he shows so much comfort and support is crazy. He really is such a big brother figure and good example for every one of them,and everyone can see it
he is that little sunshine that everyone needs
And IMAGINE how pure you have to be to have suffered so much by your own,and still be SO selfless and still keep that warmth and kind in your heart,and the amount of mental strenght you must have. Many characters after they got awfully traumatized,their whole essence and personality changes,they get colder or rougher and meaner and much much more selfish, while tanjiro is still the same person as the day he was born. No matter how much he would have got hurt,his spark was incredible invencible. He's just as shiny and warm as the son,he's something impossible to not feel touched by eventually.
he means so so so much and he's,again,the perfect definition of what actual kindness means, and how strong he is. He means everything in this world and deserves so so so much,he's such a comfort for everyone that felt touched by him and love him as much as i do.
As an older sister,i feel pretty touched and in a kinda connection with him. Our need to just be there for em,show em the best of everything,show em that we're here for them cause that's what we do. That's what we try to do everyday. And i really wish i could be much more like him. He's everything i want for myself,and also want to be for the people around me.
conclusion:tanjiro best boy
“I Actually Understood Nothing At All”
Literally my life
Tanjiro is the definition of an older brother: kind, caring and willing to put your well being over his own. Naruto’s kindness is WTF levels, since he grew up a brat and is suddenly kind? If you’re aiming for consistency, don’t make your character kind when they’re always a jerk.
Jesus Christ... EVERY time. Without fail. If someone talks about how kind and compassionate Gonpachiro is, I weep like a child.
same. He's such a great MC
I felt like tanjiro is a perfect substitute to kind people
I am depressed since i was a kid like.. 8/9 i have no friends.. But i accept anyone to be my friends no matter what religion i *sometime* help people unless its a bad thing i won't
Sup dude, I can be your friend if you'd like!
How many friends you can get before you let them go
@@animatoraoi3672 atleast none
I AM YOUR FREIND 💕💕💖
I didn't need to cry while I'm at lunch at work dude... I've already watched the entire thing and cried enough already. I've seen this in Tanjiro before and is primarily the reason why I admire him because of his indomitable will to be kind like you said, but damn... This just broke me down... People would think a loved one died by the way I look right now man...
Over and over again I'm amazed at his ability to still be kind after everything that's been thrown his way. He is honestly one of the best characters ever full stop imo.
This video made me so happy. Thank you
Tanjiro is indeed the older brother everyone deserves
The song in the background is Kamado Tanjirou no Uta. It’s one of my favorites :D
It's great..
It's tanjiros song
Currently my most played song on Spotify!
Tanjiro kinda reminds me of my older brother, he’s really kind, ready to fight for anybody close to him and overall a great person.
This is indeed a very “nice” feeling Anime with great art and entertaining voice work. When he slew the demon that offered up her neck with his mercy sword form... very touching and moving moment which really finalized my impression of the protagonist (I don’t know how to spell his name).
This is a wonderful analysis of Demon Slayer and it's main character. Tanjiro is a true hero; some who's actions teach us to be a better version of ourselves regardless if he's fiction or not.
*Damn... This gave me chills this really explains a bunch tanjiro if just an angel of kindness and the pain he's been through he just hide with a smile it really it sad.. 💔*
I think understanding some cultural context in important to fully enjoy this show. I enjoyed it from the start because of the cultural and religious references that it had, but if you've ever been to the inaka of Japan, such as the town where Tanjiro is from, you see that his kindness reflects real Japanese-style hospitality. As opposed to the "nice" protagonists of other shows, he shows a real self-sacrificing kindness and generosity in small and big ways, and the way he does it is deeply rooted in the conflict-avoidant, social-duty-feeling hospitality of traditional Japanese culture.
tanjiro really is like the older brother i never had. my brother is great and i love him but we fight all the time and we cant go one day without insulting each other. He would constantly complain whenever told to do something and i honestly felt like we were the same age. (if not for me always getting blamed for our fights and the talent he had for always hurting me more during our physical fights) i just sometimes wish i could confide in my older brother more when i was upset, but we dont have that relationship. Its only just now becoming better.
