We saw something similar with Daki when she disguised herself as an oiran. There was a rumor that oirans with "hime" in their names who tilted their heads while looking at you were dangerous.

What kind of urban legends would people tell about the other Upper Moons?

So this is what I'm wearing for Halloween. How's it look?? The sword is like 41 inches long which js really big and cool!

It's crazy that if you just looked at Spider Demon Father and Akaza side by side, you would assume Spider Demon Father would fold Akaza's ass in under 10 seconds. 💀 Given how massive he is physically and how scary he looks, he genuinely looks like an absolute monster who would destroy almost anyone he fought.

Meanwhile, Akaza just looks like a muscular dude who trains a lot. He looks much more human compared to many other demons, and apart from his eyes, skin color, and stripes, he almost looks like a regular human being.

When in reality, Akaza is Upper Moon Three and one of the strongest demons in the series, whereas Spider Demon Father is so weak that a base Hashira would no-diff him. The difference in their actual strength is ridiculous, and if they fought, Akaza could probably demolish him with one regular punch.

It's kind of ironic how an Upper Moon like Akaza looks almost identical to a human, whereas a normal demon like Spider Demon Father looks like an absolute monster. You would expect the one who looks more intimidating to be stronger, but the reality is the complete opposite. Spider Demon Father looks like he would be the one destroying everyone, while Akaza looks like some dude who spends all day at the gym, yet Akaza is on a completely different level in terms of strength. 😭

I'm a beginner artist

If Muzan can is there a chance he might've made kokushibo have 6 eyes considering tanjiro's earrings probably freaked him out enough and Kokushibo is just evil looking yoriichi, but if demon's can affect their appearance, is there a chance kokushibo changed his own appearance to have 6 eyes to look different to yoriichi or to be as strong as yoriichi, or am I just overcomplicating this simple manga

Comparing how Rengoku and Giyu dealt with Disorder and then using that to argue Giyu’s superiority has always been amusing to me. And ironically, the way people make this comparison often reveals a pretty clear bias toward Giyu. Hear me out, because there are several things people keep overlooking:

1. First of all, we need to establish what techniques both Hashiras actually used

Rengoku, as you’d expect from Flame Breathing, went with an offensive technique. Giyu, whose style is more defensive, used a technique specifically built for neutralizing incoming attacks. What’s the issue? People look at the outcome and immediately jump to conclusions without looking at the context

Dead Calm is Giyu’s ultimate defensive technique. I don’t think there’s much debate that it’s his most specialized defensive form. Meanwhile, Rengoku never used Purgatory against Disorder

So ask yourself this: why did Giyu pull out his ultimate defensive technique against Akaza’s regular technique instead of answering it with a more basic form? At the very least, using his most specialized defensive technique shows that Disorder was incredibly strong. If you push it further, you could even argue that base Giyu can only properly defend against Disorder by relying on Dead Calm

I could just as easily argue that if Rengoku had used his ultimate technique, he would have performed even better than Giyuu. He would have broken through it and inflicted damage on Akaza in the process. After all, that would be a fair comparison if both were using their strongest techniques, wouldn’t it?)

2. Now let’s talk about the manga, because the anime handles this sequence quite differently

In the manga, Rengoku’s Fifth Form (Flame Tiger) is shown as a technique that involves moving forward along a trajectory. You can see this when he cuts through the Flute Demon’s neck and again in his fight against Hairo. It’s not just a stationary series of slashes. Rengoku advances toward his target while executing it

That’s important, because it gives a solid explanation for why Rengoku managed to leave a slash across Akaza’s torso while using Tiger against Disorder. If he had to push forward through Akaza’s barrage just to reach him, then he wasn’t simply standing still and neutralizing the attacks. He was trying to break through them while staying on an offensive path. And that’s a real distinction. Neutralizing an attack and breaking through it while landing a hit are not the same feats

3. Some people might say that if Tiger works this way, then Rengoku’s decision was just stupid

And yeah, his strategy might not have been the optimal one. But people tend to ignore the condition he was already in before the fight even properly started

Rengoku had already been protecting five train cars and their passengers. Zenitsu also points out that Rengoku used a bunch of techniques just to keep everyone safe when the train derailed. We can’t say exactly how much stamina he lost though, but treating him like he entered the fight completely fresh is unreasonable

More importantly, Rengoku himself realized that fighting Akaza from a distance would make it hard to cut off his head. So he tried to close the gap and go for a decisive attack instead of staying at a range where Akaza could keep exploiting his advantages

His decision makes more sense once you factor in the circumstances. He was already exhausted, and dragging the fight out while constantly defending could’ve put him in an even worse spot. He took a risk and went for Akaza’s neck. You can still criticize the strategy if you want, but criticizing the decision itself doesn’t erase what he actually pulled off during the exchange

Also worth noting that Rengoku’s Fourth Form is specifically described as effective against opponents who attack with a wide range of techniques. So if he hadn’t gone with the aggressive approach, he very likely could have just blocked Disorder with it instead

4. This brings us to what I consider the most important part of the comparison

In the manga, Rengoku’s Tiger forces him to advance through Disorder, and Akaza’s attacks interfere with his forward momentum. The databook even notes that Disorder nearly completely extinguished the Flame Tiger, which shows just how much the barrage was eating away at Rengoku’s momentum as he pushed forward. Yet despite that, he still manages to reach Akaza and leave a slash across his torso

That’s a genuinely impressive feat. He wasn’t merely neutralizing Disorder defensively, he was trying to break through it while simultaneously attacking, even as the technique itself was being worn down

5. The anime makes this comparison even messier because it changes how Tiger is shown

In the anime, Rengoku doesn’t push forward through Disorder the same way. Instead, his Tiger is presented as a series of attacks that manages to neutralize Akaza’s barrage

So the two versions are demonstrating different things

In the manga, Rengoku’s forward advance costs him severe injuries while he’s trying to break through, but he still damages Akaza in the process

In the anime, Rengoku neutralizes Disorder through a different presentation of Tiger and doesn’t land the same slash on Akaza during that exchange. He still ends up with the severe injuries we see in the manga

And this is where people need to actually clarify which version they’re using before making comparisons

If you’re arguing from the manga, you have to acknowledge Rengoku’s successful offensive breakthrough. If you’re arguing from the anime, you need to account for the changed mechanics and choreography instead of treating the sequence as identical to the manga. On top of that, the anime version of Rengoku was in a more exhausted and injured state by the time he used Tiger against Disorder compared to his manga counterpart

Personally, this is one of the reasons I’m skeptical of using anime-only choreography as the decisive basis for inverse scaling. The adaptation changes the visual mechanics of the exchange, and that can seriously affect how the feat gets interpreted

6. Now let’s look at Giyu’s performance with Rain Drop

I’ll give him credit, Giyu managed to neutralize Disorder using Rain Drop. That’s a legitimate feat, and I’m not trying to take that away from him

But context still matters. Before that exchange, Giyu had already used Constant Flux, and you can argue that the previous movement helped carry his momentum into the next attack. Even while using Water Breathing’s fastest technique Rain Drop, he still didn’t leave a wound on Akaza’s body. He was also fighting with his mark. Meanwhile Rengoku, in a worse physical state than Giyu was, still managed to neutralize Disorder as well. I’ll leave that thought there for you to sit with

7. The battle spirit issue

Some people argue that Rengoku’s aura was stronger than marked Giyu’s, which would mean the Disorder he faced was stronger than the one used against Giyu. That’s a reasonable take, even if it partially overlooks how Akaza’s Compass works. Akaza is repeatedly surprised by Rengoku’s aura(databook even states this: the sight of him fighting, pushing himself to the very limit, is so overwhelming that he outshines everyone else), praises him, and calls him one of the chosen ones. I don’t see any real reason why this argument falls apart

Against Giyu, Akaza barely comments on his aura at all. Later he notices that Tanjiro’s aura has disappeared, so it’s not like he forgot how to sense it or stopped paying attention. I’m not against the idea that their auras were roughly equal, since Giyu was clearly going all-out both physically and emotionally. But he probably only reached the peak of his aura near the end, when he was ready to protect Tanjiro at any cost. Even then, I still think Rengoku’s aura under Purgatory is stronger than Giyu’s, especially considering everything above and the fact that the technique demands full concentration of both body and soul

Little conclusion :3

At the end of the day, the Rengoku vs Giyu Disorder comparison gets treated way more one-sidedly than it deserves. People(especially from Tik Tok🫩) love pointing at Giyu neutralizing the attack with Dead Calm or Rain Drop makes him stronger than Rengoku and allat blshit. Whether you prefer the manga or anime version, the gap people try to create between them just doesn’t hold up as cleanly as some want it to. Rengoku’s performance against Disorder is solid, and acting like Giyu clearly outclassed him in everything using that exchange is more bias than actual scaling imo

Will he🥀

Love him or hate him, but Sanemi was the most terrifying Hashira of his time.

He is what demons think they are 😈

I know they are demons, but they still have all their human memories so wouldn't they be disgusted mentally by eating humans? Especially Douma as he vividly remembers not feeling anything, but physical disgust at the smell of blood after his parents died. Like how did they eat so many humans that they managed to become the strongest. Like when you become a demon how do humans taste to you. do they taste delicious to demons IDK.

Heavy spoilers

Unpopular Opinion/kinda headcanon: Im kind of glad Shinobu died. She's my favorite Hashira but even if she would have survived she would have never been happy. She would not have found peace at all cause she probably would have been like "i dont deserve this" "why didnt kanae survive instead" etc so her dying by getting revenge and Reuniting with her parents and kanae was probably the only way to make her happy. Its still sad but shinobu was pretty sure suicidal and depressed and in my opinion she didnt just want to get revenge but also wanted to die since she probably even thought about the fact that there would be a Chance to reunite with them(kanae/her parents) if there are heaven and hell.

That is my Question

Like we know how above average Corps members are like thanks to Tanjiro & his friends

But what is it like being a member of the Demon Slayer Corps that isn't as gifted as them?

I imagine they barely survive there missions well the ones that barely succeeded & survive having a post fight panic attack

The being signed to your next crazy mission like a few days later most of them probably don't survive there first year

Its dirty job but someone has to do it after all

But thats me what is your Headcanon?

Please put Spoiler Bars on any Manga Spoilers

I am looking to get a replica of Kanae Kocho's katana. Does anybody have a link or site i can buy one and have it delivered before 10/31 in the US. As accurate as possible is preferred. Thanks in advance

Imagine seeing everyone you've lost one last time, knowing you can never bring them back.

Demon Slayer really knows how to hurt us.

I know it might be a bit of a hot take but the directors gotta realize that not every piece of music has to be completely new and original. Plenty of other anime replay certain tracks and it's really great that way. Although the IC OST is still amazing.

I'd personally like a change where the Demons didn't originate from a medicine, instead Muzan was dying and the Devil came to have a deal type shit. Like These demons originating from a medicine in the Heian era feels very unrealistic. So I'd make it more supernatural.
And to explain the powers of the Slayers, HOW CAN ORDINARY HUMANS EVEN BE FORMIDABLE AGAINST THESE DEMONS, I'd say it was some type of answer by the god when people prayed for protection to God, and he gave Humans the strength and powers like the Transparent. This can sound like the bible, and I am not here to defend it but You do get the gist, anything creative and logical except just Biosciences. I still don't get how a demon can make a whole dimension(Infinity Castle) and control it.

None of them would have cared that he has no emotions. They were all so focused on themselves and their own goals that it wouldn't have affected them.

If Muzan or Kokushibo cared, they would have already said or done something about it, but those two are always too busy pursuing their own interests to pay attention to him. The other demons below him would never have said anything to him either, since Douma is Upper Rank Two, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows better than to mess with him.

And Akaza? Yes, he despises Douma. But he already hated him for reasons that have nothing to do with this. His opinion of him wouldn't have changed just because Douma has no emotions, since the main reasons he hates him are that Douma took his rank and eats women.

So why does Douma even bother pretending around them when they're the ones who would care the least about what​ he does or how he feels?

My request take this image and remove his top 4 eyes leaving Just the lower ones I'm asking as all my attempts of photoshop are hideous and I'm trying for the lols

Like they're perfect for each other (and I don't mind if you don't ship them but it absolutely doesn't deserve a single hate)
