Appearance[]

Tanjiro is a young boy of average height with fairly tanned skin and an athletic, muscular physique. He has ruffled, đen ngòm hair with burgundy tips, combed back lớn expose his forehead, and wide, dark red eyes with white pupils that appear lighter around the lower section of his irises. He also has a scar on the top left of his forehead, first seen when his mother brought him lớn watch his father perform the Hinokami Kagura dance. The scar originally looked somewhat lượt thích a graze until his fight with the Hand Demon during Final Selection, after which it develops into a flame-like pattern as his Demon Slayer Mark. It is noted that his hands are visibly rougher for someone his age, as a result of his rigorous training under Sakonji Urokodaki. Tanjiro looks remarkably similar in appearance lớn his ancestor Sumiyoshi Kamado, possessing the same facial structure, eyes, and hairstyle as him, although Sumiyoshi's hair was longer, about shoulder-length and would be tied in a ponytail behind his head.

Tanjiro first appears wearing a checkered, black-and-sea-foam-green haori over a white robe and đen ngòm pants. He occasionally sports a turquoise scarf and is seen with circular, white bands looped around his calves. He also wears a distinct pair of hanafuda earrings, with the image of the rising sun over a mountain. His hair is also kept tied back in small ponytail or bun; as he trains with Sabito and Makomo, his hair grows lớn his shoulders.

During the Final Selection, Tanjiro wears a xanh xao, cloud-patterned samue-styled kimono and đen ngòm pants, nearly identical lớn Sakonji's outfit. He still wears his hanafuda earrings, but his hair is cut extremely short and remains the same length since. Similar lớn the rest of the apprentices that were trained under Sakonji, Tanjiro wears a hand-carved fox mask crafted from his master on the left side of his head. The mask has red accents on the eyes, ears, and spots on each corner of its mouth. On the upper right corner of the mask, there is a sun-shaped design that likely symbolizes the scar on his forehead.

After becoming a Demon Slayer, Tanjiro wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform, a dark-brown gakuran jacket, a white belt, baggy chocho zubon pants that extend into tabi socks, a pair of zōri with red straps, and bands of white cloth wrapped tightly around his calves resembling kyahan, all beneath his signature checkered haori. He carries a large wooden box on his back (which was a gift lớn him from Sakonji Urokodaki), where his sister sleeps as they travel during the day.

During his second encounter with Muzan Kibutsuji, he injures his right eye in the Infinity Castle. As the battle progresses, Tanjiro suddenly collapses and his wound begins lớn sườn a large mass over his right eye due lớn the poison inflicted on him by Muzan. Later on, when Tanjiro wakes up, he is described as looking 'repulsive' by Muzan.^[9] Later in the battle Tanjiro's left arm is severed by Muzan.^[10]

After being turned into a demon by Muzan, Tanjiro is able lớn heal the growth on his face as well as regenerate his lost arm and other smaller injuries. He obtains eyes with slit pupils, fangs and flame-shaped marks over his left forehead and right jaw that are reminiscent of those of Kokushibo, in addition lớn a third, smaller flame-shaped mark coming down from the right side of his head down lớn his eyebrow after he conquered the weakness lớn sunlight. His scar turns into a flame-pattern as if it were a permanent Demon Slayer Mark, has become longer and is the largest of the three, and all three marks vaguely point towards his nose, though only his scar-mark reaches it. He still dons his bloodstained corps uniform, one sleeve ripped off where his arm was severed, but loses his checkered haori and the Nichirin Sword at his hip.^[3]

After returning lớn his human sườn, Tanjiro loses the ability lớn see from his right eye, the iris of which is now a dull pink-gray color and the pupil đen ngòm rather phàn nàn its original white. His left arm, which he regrew as a Demon, now takes the appearance of that which an older person may have, becoming wrinkled and skeletal, and he loses all feeling in it below the elbow and thus the ability lớn move it from his forearm down.^[11]

Personality[]

Tanjiro is very kind by nature and has been described by others as having very gentle eyes and a compassionate persona. He exhibits a great giảm giá of determination and will not give up once he has a goal lớn achieve; the best example of this being his relentless quest lớn find a cure for Nezuko. Even though he is relatively strong on his own, Tanjiro isn't opposed lớn asking others for help when he needs it. He is very protective of his friends and even more sánh of his younger sister. However, despite his kind and understanding nature, Tanjiro does have a limit lớn his tolerance and has a distaste for rudeness and cowardice as he easily becomes annoyed by Zenitsu Agatsuma's constant whining, and angered by Inosuke Hashibira's barbaric actions.

Tanjiro is direct and very honest, taking everyone's words with sincerity and seriousness. Upon hearing Tengen Uzui claim he is a god, he asked what area is he the god of. He has difficulty lying and doing sánh causes his face lớn contort severely, as his honest nature clashes with the insincerity of his words. Having grown up in the countryside of nhật bản, Tanjiro has no experience of life in large urban areas. During his missions lớn Asakusa and Yoshiwara, he stared in wonder at the bright lights enveloping the cities. He naively believed the Mugen train was perhaps the land's guardian spirit and, just lượt thích Inosuke, he does not know what a red-light district is.

Under Tanjiro's rather kind and friendly shell, is a person with a growing fire of rage and vengeance inside of them. This side of him leaks out when Tanjiro first confronts Muzan, ready lớn take out his sword and attack him. When Muzan escapes, Tanjiro releases his frustration and declares he will be the one lớn kill Muzan. On Mount Natagumo, when the captured Demon Slayers had their necks snapped by the Mother Spider Demon's threads, Tanjiro shows noticeable anger that even Inosuke senses. Upon seeing Daki smirking after witnessing her slaughter innocent people indiscriminately with her sashes, he seethed with rage and confronted her alone. This side of Tanjiro is fully exemplified after Muzan's speech where he compares himself lớn a natural disaster. Tanjiro responds lớn that by calling Muzan "a being that should not exist." In the face of irrational evil, Tanjiro shows a more cold and terrifying side of him, acting more violent towards his opponents as a result.

Tanjiro's most notable attribute is his ability lớn empathize with anyone, even demons, which often makes him hesitate before delivering the final blow. Tanjiro has a unique ideology regarding demons, believing that those that have committed evil should be killed without mercy, but those that regret their actions should not be belittled after their deaths, showing great nuance and maturity in Tanjiro's thinking, probably brought about by his sister. However, as Tanjiro gains experience over the years of his service, he becomes more calculating and strict in his decisions. His courage lớn protect the weak commits him lớn face his enemy with respect and dignity, whether versus good people or evil demons. Tanjiro is adamant about serving justice lớn the evil, by any means necessary, even declaring lớn cut off the heads of demons who have committed heinous crimes and confronting them about their inhumane mindset and their criminal deeds.

As a demon, Tanjiro appeared lớn be mindless, lượt thích most initially are following their transformation. He acted lượt thích a feral beast, attacking anyone in sight without any hesitation. Not even his friends and comrades were safe. The one exception was Nezuko, who he refused lớn harm even after tasting her blood; a possible sign that he was fighting his transformation. His hostility towards the Demon Slayers might also have been due lớn his mind being affected by Muzan's desire lớn kill all Demon Slayers.

Overall Abilities[]

From the beginning, Tanjiro was shown lớn be a prodigious fighter, having a strong natural aptitude for combat, especially in swordsmanship. Tanjiro was already introduced lớn have above average human abilities, lượt thích honed senses, a sharp sense of smell, immense willpower and great intellect. His naturally obtained abilities go sánh far as lớn allow him lớn outsmart and catch Giyu Tomioka, one of the most powerful Demon Slayers, off guard and nearly land a fatal blow on him despite being clouded with intense emotions. Moreover, in his first encounter with a demon, Tanjiro managed lớn slash the neck of the Temple Demon and impress him, later being able lớn fend the demon off with a regular hatchet and come up with unique solutions such as using his durable head lớn headbutt the Temple Demon and also using his hatchet lớn pin him down and prevent him from moving.

While on Mount Sagiri, Tanjiro managed lớn impress Sakonji Urokodaki, the former Water Hashira, evading dozens of traps hidden all over the mountain lớn a certain degree of success through the use of his sharp sense of smell and ultimately managed lớn get accepted as his student. When tasked lớn cut a giant boulder, Tanjiro met the spirits of Makomo and Sabito, who trained him lớn properly utilize Total Concentration Breathing and hone his swordsmanship skills. After half a year of extremely intensive training, Tanjiro was able lớn surpass Sabito in a swordsmanship skill, awakening the ability lớn see the Opening Thread as well as being able lớn slice the boulder in two, a boulder bigger and harder phàn nàn any student before him had cut before. During Final Selection, he was able lớn easily take down numerous low-level demons while using the Water Breathing Breathing Style without the help of others. Tanjiro eventually met the Hand Demon, a heavily mutated demon which has eaten 50 humans compared lớn the average of two lớn three humans that demons on the mountain consume, making him the most fearsome demon Tanjiro has encountered sánh far, further proven by the fact that he had killed both Sabito and Makomo. Through his acrobatic skills, swordsmanship prowess and sense of smell, Tanjiro managed lớn successfully decapitate the demon.

After officially becoming a thành viên of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro faces numerous more powerful and skilled demons, most of which utilized Blood Demon Arts. Against the Swamp Demon, Tanjiro and Nezuko managed lớn subdue the demon and its clones, saving the lives of an innocent woman and bystander in the process. When faced with the likes of Yahaba and Susamaru, more skilled and fearsome demons phàn nàn before, Tanjiro's tactical intellect and swordsmanship skills allowed him lớn behead Yahaba on his own, while also managing lớn hold his own against Susamaru. During his mission in the Tsuzumi Mansion, Tanjiro encountered Kyogai, a former thành viên of the Twelve Kizuki, an organization of the twelve strongest demons in existence, and was capable of analyzing and adapting lớn his unorthodox mansion-shifting Blood Demon Art and defeat him. Despite still being the lowest rank in the organization, Tanjiro could hold his own against demons who shared the powers of an actual thành viên of the Twelve Kizuki, namely the Mother and Father of the Spider Family, and later held his own against the thành viên himself, Rui, who held the position of Lower Rank Five. After recalling the Hinokami Kagura, a Breathing Style he learned from his father as a child, he almost defeated the Lower Rank demon, a feat which many believed only a Hashira, the strongest swordsmen in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps, could pull off.

During Rehabilitation Training following his battles in Mount Natagumo, Tanjiro recovered from injuries and trained with Kanao Tsuyuri, an extremely talented Demon Slayer and the Tsuguko of the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, eventually enabling him lớn match her. After mastering Total Concentration: Constant (全 (ぜん) 集 (しゅう) 中 (ちゅう) ・常 (じょう) 中 (ちゅう) Zen Shūchū Jōchū^?), which further enhanced his physical abilities, Tanjiro was capable of fighting and beheading Lower Rank One, Enmu, on his own, even managing lớn come up with a countermeasure lớn the demon's spells in the midst of battle and possessing enough willpower lớn commit suicide in his dreams repeatedly in order lớn follow through with his plan. Later, with the help of Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Kyojuro Rengoku, Tanjiro decapitates the strongest Lower Rank, despite the demon fusing himself with an entire train and him being under a constant barrage of attacks. With the death of Kyojuro at the hands of Upper Rank Three, Akaza, the Flame Hashira's dying words served as a major incentive for Tanjiro lớn push on, serving as a major factor in his growth as a Demon Slayer.

After the battle, Tanjiro could keep up and fend off attacks from Daki, an Upper Rank demon, beings that have lived for over a century who has eaten 7 Hashira during her lifetime, although it was implied she was toying with Tanjiro during their battle. Even after Daki regains full strength in the middle of the battle, an enraged Tanjiro managed lớn easily overpower her, coming as close as slicing off her neck without her being able lớn retaliate, albeit he had ran out of stamina and nearly died before he could behead her. While injured, Tanjiro managed lớn assist a poisoned Tengen Uzui against Gyutaro, the true Upper Rank Six, and later outsmarted and decapitated him whilst awakening the Demon Slayer Mark momentarily. Thus, Tanjiro became one of the first Demon Slayers lớn ever kill an Upper Rank, a feat that hasn't been accomplished for the last century. Additionally, Mitsuri Kanroji later stated that surviving a battle against an Upper Rank demon equates lớn around 5 lớn 10 years of intensive training.^[12]

Upon receiving intensive training in the Swordsmith Village, Tanjiro's swordsmanship skills were greatly polished and refined while also awakening the ability lớn "smell the future", giving him the movements and reflexes comparable lớn that of the Hashira. Later, Tanjiro faced Upper Rank Four, Hantengu, and his clones, being able lớn fend off Urogi while also correctly deducing their abilities. Sekido also noted that Tanjiro undergoes explosive growth in the midst of battle, more apparently under critical moments.^[13] After awakening his Demon Slayer Mark for the second time along with the Bright Red Nichirin Sword, Tanjiro was fast enough lớn blitz three of Hantengu's clones simultaneously. When all four of Hantengu's clones combined lớn become Zohakuten, Tanjiro, with the help of Genya Shinazugawa and Nezuko, managed lớn hold their own against him. With the help of a Marked Mitsuri Kanroji, Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko managed lớn chase down the main body toàn thân and successfully put an kết thúc lớn him, with Tanjiro dealing the final blow.

During Hashira Training, Tanjiro underwent gruelling training meant lớn bolster every thành viên in the organization, targeting many fields such as stamina, flexibility, tốc độ, and swordsmanship. When the final battle against demon-kind began, Tanjiro displayed skill comparable lớn that of a Hashira according lớn Giyu himself. He, along with the Water Hashira, made quick work out of dozens of demons that were designed lớn have the strength of a Lower Rank demon, and later when facing Kyojuro's killer, Akaza, Tanjiro managed lớn surprise both Giyu and the Upper Rank by dodging his attacks and slicing off his arm. As the battle progressed, Tanjiro was able lớn fight on equal ground with a casual Akaza, causing the latter lớn praise his inhuman growth. After deducing Akaza's abilities and remembering his father's words, a marked Tanjiro awakened the Transparent World and Selfless State, greatly amplifying his abilities, lớn the point where Tanjiro managed lớn slash off Akaza's arm before he could process what happened, dodge his most powerful technique, and later successfully decapitated him.

After the fight, Tanjiro and Giyu encountered the Demon King himself, Muzan Kibutsuji. Working together, both Demon Slayers managed lớn fend off the strongest demon lớn have ever lived who was casually fighting them, though Tanjiro ends up losing an eye and is severely poisoned as a result, nearly causing him lớn lose his life. As he received treatment for his injuries, Tanjiro viewed the memories of Sumiyoshi Kamado, his ancestor that met Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest Demon Slayer in existence and the creator of the Breathing Style that would eventually become the Hinokami Kagura. Through his memories, Tanjiro realized the slight differences between his and Yoriichi's wrist angles, footwork, and breathing rhythm. Through this, Tanjiro was able lớn correct his own useless movements and deduced how lớn use the rumored thirteenth sườn of Sun Breathing. After waking up, Tanjiro saved Kanao and was later able lớn fight against Muzan by himself, who had just singlehandedly blitzed Giyu, Sanemi, Gyomei, Obanai, who were all Marked, as well as Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Kanao who were initially invisible thanks lớn Yushiro's Blood Demon Art. Muzan expressed feelings of unease towards Tanjiro due lớn the similarities between him and Yoriichi,^[14] further showcasing his incredible abilities.

With one functioning eye and his fatigue becoming ever more pronounced, Tanjiro was still able lớn keep up with and fend off Muzan on his own, cutting off limbs and parrying attacks, which the combined efforts of the aforementioned Demon Slayers couldn't achieve. With the help of Obanai Iguro, Tanjiro managed lớn drive the Demon King into the corner and battle him for more phàn nàn hour lớn stall for sunrise, the both of them constantly having lớn chase him down lớn make sure he doesn't escape. As dawn approaches, Muzan grows desperate and anxious, morphing into a gigantic fetus-like sườn that swallows Tanjiro whole. As Muzan is about lớn escape, Tanjiro with his Bright Red Nichirin Sword đơn hàng one final slash lớn the Demon King, exposing him lớn the sun, disintegrating him and putting an kết thúc lớn Muzan as well as all of demon-kind once and for all.

Enhanced Accuracy: Even before he trained lớn become a Demon Slayer, Tanjiro possessed impeccable aim and precision. This was shown when he outsmarted Giyu and threw his hatchet into the air at a perfect trajectory such that it would strike his head.^[15] Later on, as Akaza was escaping into the forest, Tanjiro flung his katana with incredible precision over a long distance until it pierced the Upper Rank's body toàn thân.^[16] Tanjiro also displayed his great precision against Muzan, where Tanjiro was able lớn aim and throw a barrage of swords at the Demon King with perfect accuracy on two occasions.^[17][18]

Genius Intellect: Tanjiro is incredibly analytical and sagacious, as well as showing a natural aptitude and innate intuition in many varied areas. Even against opponents that heavily outmatch him in multiple categories, Tanjiro is capable of creating strategies lớn beat an opponent on the fly and in danger even if it results in his own death. Upon seeing a fighting style once, Tanjiro can analyze it, and it’s even possible for him lớn accomplish such a feat even in the midst of a constantly shifting location where he lacks any environmental advantage or benefit.^[19]

Tanjiro has been noted lớn be very adaptive against any opponent as well as explosive growth rate. Furthermore, he is an expert at using his opponent's abilities against them.^[20] Even if the opponent offers no real details or specifics on their power, Tanjiro can pick up subtle phrases and words used throughout their fights lớn deduce the ability in a short amount of time, as he had done in the battle against Akaza. He's even conjured new abilities, even new Breathing Styles and utilized them effectively upon using them once,^[21][22] even able lớn combine techniques despite not being fully proficient in either of them, such as when he combined Water Breathing and Hinokami Kagura together in order lớn save Hinatsuru from Gyutaro^[23], and later used once again inside the Infinity Castle lớn slay dozens of demons.

• Combat Intuition: This trait of Tanjiro's was pointed out by Giyu during their first encounter, in which Tanjiro skillfully laid out a plan lớn attack Giyu by surprise by charging towards him, not showing the Demon Slayer that he was unarmed, and bring down Giyu with a hatchet he had thrown in the air beforehand. The attack failed, but Giyu was still very impressed by Tanjiro's plan, especially considering he was a rookie at the time. Furthermore, Tanjiro also showed proficiency in hand-to-hand combat despite never practicing martial arts before, allowing him lớn hold his own and adapt instantly lớn Inosuke's animalistic unarmed fighting style.

Hard Skull: Tanjiro has an innately strong skull, which the Temple Demon compares lớn a rock. During certain situations, he can headbutt the opponent hard enough lớn stun them or knock them out completely, in some situations even cause their head lớn bleed upon impact. Managing lớn hit the Temple Demon twice in a row without being stunned shows he is capable of doing it more phàn nàn once. The full power of this attack is shown lớn give Inosuke a delayed concussion while Tanjiro suffered no backlash from it. Tanjiro also head-butted the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, having temporarily stunned him, leaving the other Hashira impressed by its durability. Tanjiro also used this lớn temporarily stun Gyutaro, Upper Rank Six, and used the opportunity lớn gain an upper hand over him. Furthermore, he caused Akaza, Upper Rank Three, lớn bleed when he headbutted him.

Indomitable Will: Tanjiro possesses an undaunted will and spirit, being able lớn fight and engage in battle against enemies stronger phàn nàn him with his sheer will alone lớn kill Demons and protect his sister even when he sustained severe injuries and wounds. The death of his family also played a big role in his insurmountable willpower, his visions of his family members urging him on during times of crisis, allowing him lớn pull through any hardship.

During his mission on Mount Natagumo, Tanjiro was willing lớn sacrifice his life for his sister, relying on nothing but sheer determination lớn fight through Rui's attacks lớn kill him. When he was in a battle with Enmu, he displayed his supernatural willpower by committing suicide relentlessly in his dreams in order lớn awake from the demon's sleep spell, a feat which even Enmu thought was insane.^[24] After Kyojuro was killed in a battle with Akaza, his final words and actions had a major impact on Tanjiro's mindset and willpower, increasing it lớn unprecedented levels, shown when he didn't give up no matter how hopeless a situation is, in the face of Upper Rank demons, no less. His spirit also played a big role in the final moments of Muzan's death, where his will allowed him lớn overcome his blood and return lớn becoming human.

Demon Slayer Abilities[]

Demon Slayer Mark: Tanjiro's Demon Slayer Mark takes the sườn of a flame-like pattern replacing the scar on his forehead. After Hashira Training his scar is replaced with a permanent flame mark, and when he activates his Demon Slayer Mark it grows in size, reaching past his eyebrows. Interestingly enough, Tanjiro's mark is exactly the same as the marks of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo. The mark drastically enhances all of Tanjiro's natural abilities, such as his strength, tốc độ, and reflexes.

Tanjiro awakens his mark for the first time while fighting Upper Rank Six, Gyutaro,^[25] which granted him the boost in physical strength needed lớn behead the Upper Rank and later awakened it while unleashing the Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance technique against Hantengu's clones.^[26] Later, the mark reappears during his rematch against Upper Rank Three, Akaza.^[27] The drawback lớn his marked state is that Tanjiro can only enter it on rare occasions, and he can only use it for a very short period since it causes exhaustion lớn his body toàn thân as proven in his battles against the Upper Ranks.

• Bright Red Nichirin Sword: Tanjiro first unlocked this ability after Nezuko Kamado lit his sword on fire using her pyrokinetic Blood Demon Art, which gave him an edge over Hantengu's clones as every slash that he landed drastically slowed down their regenerative abilities. During his second battle against Muzan, Tanjiro gains the ability lớn dye his Nichirin Sword in a bright red color by himself after nearly dying. Later, Tanjiro awakened it one final time with the help of Giyu when the former had pinned him against a wall lớn prevent him from escaping.

• Transparent World: Like his father, Tanjiro can access the Transparent World while in the marked stated, gaining the ability lớn foresee his opponent's attack by analyzing their blood flow and muscles. In this state, his movement intuition and evasion tốc độ increases dramatically.^[28][29] It is also suggested that he accidentally accessed this state during his fight against Daki when Tanjiro perceived her sashes as extremely slow and also found Hantengu's main body toàn thân in the heart of one of his clones. He fully accessed this state during his battle against Akaza, when he remembered his father teaching him how lớn use it through visual training when Tanjuro killed a bear while in that state. After awakening it along with the Selfless State, Tanjiro surpasses Akaza's tốc độ and successfully decapitates him. When Tanjiro encountered Muzan Kibutsuji, he tried accessing the Transparent World but lớn no avail. After regaining consciousness, Tanjiro used the Transparent World lớn discern how lớn use the thirteenth sườn of Sun Breathing by perceiving Muzan's anatomy.^[30] However, Tanjiro was not able lớn constantly perceive it due lớn the accumulating fatigue he experienced during the fight.

Repetitive Action: A technique practiced by few members in the Demon Slayer Corps, it allows a person lớn achieve the same effects as Total Concentration Breathing by using repeating pre-set movements or remembering intense feelings lớn open the five senses and raise their concentration, drawing out the physical powers of the body toàn thân for a long extended period. It is possible lớn use both Repetitive kích hoạt and Total Concentration Breathing simultaneously, granting the user immense strength able lớn rival Upper Rank demons. Tanjiro learned this technique after consulting Genya Shinazugawa. He raises his concentration lớn its maximum limits by remembering the faces of his loved ones and repeatedly recalling Kyojuro's phrase "Set your heart ablaze."^[31]

Selfless State: As he unlocked the Transparent World, Tanjiro also learned the ability lớn completely erase his presence lượt thích his father did, including all of his Fighting Spirit (鬭 (とう) 氣 (き) Tōki^?). This technique can also mask one's intent lớn kill and malice, allowing them lớn fight undetectable on against enemies' that rely on sensing one's intention lớn fight. This ability allowed Tanjiro lớn completely negate/bypass Akaza's Compass Needle technique and decapitate him.

Physical Abilities[]

Immense Strength: After his training at Mount Sagiri, Tanjiro has gained incredible arm and leg strength and has demonstrated a great use of it, jumping over the humongous Hand Demon, and leaping over buildings effortlessly. Tanjiro also casually broke Genya's arm and later shattered Inosuke's ribs and sent him flying, all with a single punch. With his katana, he could swing with enough force slice through gigantic boulders and entire trees. While training, Tanjiro is capable of doing hundreds of push-ups at once along with a plethora of other strength-related exercises. When not out doing his missions, he frequently trains his body toàn thân in order lớn be strong enough lớn perform his duties as a Demon Slayer. When he was posing as a courtesan, he was shown lớn carry dozens of large boxes easily and when he was angered, he ripped off an Upper Rank's leg. When he was training with Gyomei Himejima, he was tasked with lifting three enormous logs on his back and pushing a boulder through town. He later managed lớn cut off Akaza's head, a feat which even Kyojuro couldn't accomplish.

Immense Speed & Reflexes: Tanjiro possesses tremendous tốc độ and reflexes; even before entering Final Selection, he is shown being able lớn travel faster phàn nàn the eye can see and outpace Sabito, an extremely skilled swordsman who was initially able lớn easily move faster phàn nàn Tanjiro can process. Furthermore, he can react lớn the blistering movement speeds of demons even before he started using Total Concentration Constant (全 (ぜん) 集 (しゅう) 中 (ちゅう) ・常 (じょう) 中 (ちゅう) Zen Shūchū Jōchū^?). After a few months of training at the Butterfly Mansion, his tốc độ and reflexes could match those of the strongest members of the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki. When angered, he was able lớn move faster phàn nàn Daki, an Upper Rank demon, could even react.

Tanjiro has also shown the ability lớn casually blitz lower level demons and ordinary humans. He later was able lớn blitz three of Hantengu's clones simultaneously and keep up with Akaza, one of the fastest demons in existence. After awakening his Demon Slayer Mark, Tanjiro's tốc độ increases even further lớn the point that even Akaza couldn't react in time and process his movements. After awakening his Demon Slayer Mark, Tanjiro gains extremely sharp reflexes, dodging and reacting lớn attacks from both Akaza and the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was able lớn blitz Giyu, Sanemi, Obanai, Gyomei, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Kanao all at once.

Immense Stamina & Endurance: Tanjiro has incredible stamina and endurance, even before he became a Demon Slayer, showed when he had lớn train in a mountain with oxygen levels lower phàn nàn that of a thick bog, dodging armed booby traps, running up and down the mountain constantly, and improving his swordsmanship skills and physique all while under these harsh conditions for around two years. His stamina and endurance was further improved having mastered Total Concentration: Constant (全 (ぜん) 集 (しゅう) 中 (ちゅう) ・常 (じょう) 中 (ちゅう) Zen Shūchū Jōchū^?), allowing him lớn stay in the Total Concentration Breathing state 24/7. His stamina was increased even further after he mastered the Hinokami Kagura, the same Breathing Style which allowed his sickly father lớn dance from dusk till dawn in the snow while barely clothed. Through the use of Recovering Breathing, Tanjiro can quickly recover from fatigue and was able lớn subdue a berserk Nezuko despite crossing his stamina limit and nearly losing his life a few moments prior. Despite having his bottom jaw impaled by Gyutaro's kama, Tanjiro barely showed any signs of pain at all.

When training with Kotetsu, Tanjiro was able lớn endure an extremely intensive training session for seven days non-stop, with no food, no sleep, and barely any water which he obtained when it was raining while also getting constantly injured and beaten. He was also in battle with Lower Rank-level demons for 5 hours in the Infinity Castle and was still able lớn hold his own and defeat Upper Rank Three, Akaza, and later went on lớn engage in a skirmish with the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, for 1 hour and 30 minutes till dawn. Furthermore, he lasted one of the longest out of all the other Hashira and Hashira-level combatants, while still being able lớn tolerate all the damage and injuries he sustained from Muzan Kibutsuji's fatal poison and physical attacks. Nearing the kết thúc of the battle, Tanjiro barely showed any reaction when his arm was blown off by one of Muzan's attacks.

Supernatural Abilities[]

Enhanced Smell: Tanjiro possesses an extremely sharp sense of smell. Before becoming a Demon Slayer, Tanjiro was known in a village as a boy who has an extremely strong sense of smell. He is able lớn pick up even the most subtle of scents and track their location with terrifying accuracy over long distances. It is strong enough for him lớn smell the Opening Thread, the slight pause in an enemy's movement which allows him an opening in which lớn strike. His sense of smell is sánh keen that he can perceive his surroundings through scent alone.^[32]

• Extrasensory Perception: Through his heightened sense of smell, Tanjiro can perceive things outside the normal range of perception lượt thích the intentions, feelings, and thoughts of other creatures, even of animals such as insects and birds. He can also sense the aura and presences of demons and even tell their strength level at a glance through how disgusting and rotten their scent is.
  • Pseudo-Precognition: When training with Yoriichi Type Zero, Tanjiro's sense of smell evolved further lớn be able lớn predict up lớn 6 moves into the future, being capable of foreseeing actions and intentions of others merely through scent, even of non-living things lượt thích Yoriichi Type Zero itself.^[33] Tanjiro noted that the smell of the future was different and much faster compared lớn the smell of the 'Opening Thread', giving him the reflexes and movements comparable lớn a Hashira and allowing lớn go toe lớn toe with Hantengu's clones early on.

Fighting Style[]

Master Swordsman: Tanjiro was always shown lớn be a sword-fighting prodigy, starting out with skill rivaling Sabito, one of Sakonji Urokodaki's strongest students and surpassing him in half a year's time and avenging his death by defeating the Hand Demon. Despite being Mizunoto-ranked, his skill with the sword was superior lớn many of his seniors, even lớn the point of defeating two Lower Ranked members of the Twelve Kizuki. His improvement in swordsmanship is also exceptional, shown when he could take on Upper Rank demons months after recovering from injuries and not having experience in fighting enemies of that caliber in the past. This is evident as he managed lớn keep up and defend from Daki's fierce onslaught of sash attacks as well as Gyutaro's attacks, despite the latter being immensely skilled in wielding his pair of Kama and posessing over a century of experience in wielding it. Mitsuri Kanroji commented that accomplishing such feat was equivalent lớn 5 lớn 10 years of harsh training.

With intensive training in the Swordsmith Village, his skills and prowess with the blade could match that of the Hashira, the most powerful sword wielders in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps. Tanjiro later managed lớn match and surpass Akaza, the third strongest thành viên of the Twelve Kizuki and a martial arts prodigy with over a century worth of experience in hand-to-hand combat. Despite not being as skilled as Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he was still able lớn fight on equal ground with Muzan, showing his immense proficiency in the blade, thus making him one of the strongest swordsmen of the current generation.

Breathing Style[]

Water Breathing (水 (みず) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) Mizu no kokyū^?): Taught lớn him by Sakonji Urokodaki, a previous Water Hashira and Water Breathing Cultivator, this was Tanjiro's initial Breathing Style. He became extremely proficient in it, lớn the point where he could modify pre-existing forms lớn suit the circumstance. He also used Water Breathing lớn take on two members of the Twelve Kizuki, namely Rui and Enmu. However, due lớn his body toàn thân not being suited lớn Water Breathing's techniques, Tanjiro decided lớn switch lớn the Hinokami Kagura as his main Breathing Style. Despite this, Tanjiro has not abandoned what he was taught, combining Water Breathing with the Hinokami Kagura, due lớn the strain Hinokami Kagura placed on his body toàn thân, in order lớn have stronger strikes phàn nàn when he used Water Breathing alone and move for longer periods phàn nàn if he used Hinokami Kagura alone. He did this lớn save Hinatsuru from Gyutaro^[23], and later used it once again inside the Infinity Castle lớn slay dozens of demons.

Hinokami Kagura (ヒノカミ神楽 (かぐら) Hinokami Kagura^?): During his near-death experience in his battle with Rui, Tanjiro awakened this in a memory of his father teaching him this Breathing Style. As his body toàn thân was more suited lớn the Hinokami Kagura, he quickly overpowered the Lower Rank demon. However, the sheer force and fatigue it placed on his untrained body toàn thân caused him lớn collapse and weaken significantly when using it, thus he only saved it for last ditch attempts lớn beat his adversaries.

After his battle with Enmu, Tanjiro trained more sánh that his body toàn thân could take the strain of its techniques, and was capable of using multiple forms in succession in his battle against Daki, although the whiplash from doing sánh became quickly apparent. Still, through battling Hantengu and undergoing Hashira Training, Tanjiro finally managed lớn master all the forms in the Hinokami Kagura, using it lớn its full potential against Akaza. When Tanjiro fully witnessed all the forms performed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he realized his own Hinokami Kagura had unnecessary movements, different wrist angles, footwork and breathing rhythm. Removing them enabled him lớn awaken the legendary Sun Breathing (日 (ひ) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) Hi no kokyū^?),^[37] and he was able lớn temporarily battle on equal grounds with the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, lớn the point that Muzan saw Yoriichi's visage overlapping with Tanjiro's own when he was performing the techniques against him.

Temporary Fighting Style & Techniques (Spoilers)

Short-to-Mid Ranged Combatant: With his Blood Demon Art, Tanjiro's fighting style focuses on unleashing attacks from a distance similar lớn Muzan Kibutsuji.

Blood Demon Art Biokinesis: As Tanjiro assimilated Muzan's blood, he subsequently gained his Blood Demon Art which allows him lớn control various properties and aspects of his body toàn thân. Tanjiro first displays this by protruding bladed bone-like whips and appendages from his back which he uses lớn extend his attack range.

Equipment[]

Standard Nichirin Katana: As a Demon Slayer, Tanjiro carries around a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana. When he was training under Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro used a katana had a blade of dull greed color and a tsuba which was oval-shaped with four indentations and dull gray in color. Tanjiro also uses this during Final Selection.

After the test, he selected an ore which would be made into his first Nichirin katana by the swordsmith Hotaru Haganezuka. His Nichirin katana is obsidian đen ngòm in color, and the original tsuba is a đen ngòm ring connected lớn its core by lines with a border of the same color, which heavily resembles a wagon wheel. Along with his katana, Tanjiro has a standard saya that is obsidian đen ngòm in color. Tanjiro damaged or broke his sword a total of three times: the first in his fight with Rui when the latter's thread cut it in half, the second when Akaza punched it into pieces in a fit of rage after impaling him as he fled, and the third during his fight with Daki when he chipped the blade after clashing with the Upper Rank.

After the events in the Swordsmith Village, he switched lớn using the katana he found inside Yoriichi Type Zero that was sharpened and polished by Hotaru Haganezuka.

• (To his family) "I wish I could stay here forever. I wish I could turn around and go back. By right, I should've been living lượt thích this forever. Right here. If none of this had happened... they'd all be alive and well now. And Nezuko would've lived in the sunlight, under a xanh xao sky. If none of this had happened... If none of this had happened... I should be here making charcoal every day. I never would've laid my hand on a sword. If none of this had happened... If none of this had happened... But I've lost them now. [...] I can never go back. Sorry! I'm sorry, Rokuta! We can never be together anymore. But I'll always think of you, okay? I'll be thinking of you all. There are lots of things lớn thank you for.

• (To Akaza) "Don't lập cập away! Don't lập cập away, you coward! Don't lập cập away! The Demon Slayer Corps is always fighting you demons in the dark of the night where you have the advantage! That's right, us flesh-and-blood humans! Our wounds won't close up that quickly. And we cannot regenerate a limb once lost! Don't lập cập away, you bastard! You bastard! You coward! Rengoku is way more amazing phàn nàn you! He's stronger! Rengoku didn't lose! He didn't let anybody die! He fought lớn the end! He protected them lớn the end! You're the one who lost! It's Rengoku who won!"^[83]
• "I heard my father was born with a faint mark on his forehead but not bủ. I'm definitely not a chosen one. But... even if I don't have the powers of a chosen one... there are times in life when you simply can't back down! Because there are monsters in this world. Monsters with no souls. Monsters who take life without hesitation, remorse or regret. Their aggression... is something I can't forgive!."^[84]
• (To Daki) "A life that's lost can never return. It's gone forever. A demon's body toàn thân isn't made of human flesh. Why vì thế you steal people's lives? Why vì thế you ruin them? What is it that makes life interesting? What vì thế you think life is?"^[85]

So if a weak person acts unexpectedly and breaks through the wall... then all at once the direction of the wind changes and a way lớn victory opens."^[90]
• (To himself) "It's a tremendous task that's sure lớn put bủ through hell. I don't have Yoriichi's or my father's skill. I don't even know if I can stay alive until dawn.

I'm sure if you were bủ, you'd say the same thing."^[93]
• (To everyone) "To be born is a blessing. Please, vì thế not forget lớn smile. When you cry, it's unbearably sad. Do not look back in remorse. Just remember that we were here... fighting together and laughing together lượt thích brothers and sisters, or lượt thích parents and children. Be proud. Meeting you was most fortunate and it brought happiness. Your existence saved bủ and drove away loneliness. Thoughts of you cause strength lớn rise from deep inside, lượt thích a fire. If possible, everyone would desire lớn live and stay by each other's side. But they had lớn make a choice. Live or die. Win or lose. But lớn have any choice at all is fortunate. True suffering is lượt thích an avalanche. It swallows a person in an instant and offers no choice. They just wanted lớn protect others. Other lives were more important phàn nàn their own. Happiness isn't about the length of your life. I want you lớn see the depth of this happiness I have. I have never thought for a moment that I was unhappy. We never gave up or ran away and we kept our faith. And we always gave it everything we had. Many strong feelings became an immense blade and defeated our enemy. That was due lớn everyone's strengths. Victory would have been impossible without even one of us. Life itself is a miracle. You are precious. You are important. Please, live the best you can, my most beloved friends"^[93]
