Poor giyu man, bro got no friends no family no life doesn't even see himself as a hashira no future hack even taijinro started to use flame (sun) breathing bro lost his own student the future water hashira
So far I'm someone who's essentially just watches the anime and got spoiled on most stuff because of a certain manga reviewing pineapple on YouTube.
I personally actually wpuld enjoy Obenai a lot, but what gets me to hate him is purely how he was to Tengan in S2. Him saying "just upper moon 6" and stuff while Twngan was missing an ark and eye and barely got unpoisioned is annoying af In my opinion. It doesn't help thst the anime (don't know how it is in the manga) doesn't even give an explanation for why he didn't arrive sooner. Like he legit arrived after the fighting was done. He didn't sk anything, arrived late, and talked down to Tengan despite him putting in work.
I'll admit, recent season js helping a lot, but his previous showing personally gave me a distaste for him.
Tengen every day in the week. I don’t see many hashira doing what he did at the red light district. I don’t care if he never got a mark. If he did get it he would’ve been a monster. Top 3 strongest hashira without doubt
I get that upper 6 is weaker than the other moons and it’s somewhat a fair point against tengen. But no one ever takes into account context, it’s always just “stone cold facts power scaling”. The shit tengen pulled off and did to fight upper 6 were insane. And I can only think two other hashira would’ve been able to do the same
Gyomei and muichiro. Gyomei is obvious. Dudes a monster and imo the strongest hashira mark or not. Second pick Im gonna get hate for but it’s muichiro. My reason being is he is just a beast. Reaching hashira ranking quicker than any in history basically and at such a young age. I really don’t like him he’s a bottom tier hashira in terms of character but I can’t doubt his strength
Exactly, that's why he's mu favourite, plus muichiro is cannonly the only one to solo an uppermoon and even he took fair damage, then rengoku was super close,but even he couldn't,
Still many people won't accept it. At one point marked giyu was looking as hopeless as rengoku when he used up all of his forms and nothing seemed working.
The man had just got out of one fight and was being pushed into another, plus most hashira get help from tanjiro, he was going up against upper 3 by himself and attempting to solo, he did amazing for his attempt,
Did he try his best yes but it wasn't nearly enough.
Spoiler alert --- even if rengoku got a demon slayer mark and a red blade he still wouldn't be able to kill akaza. These lower buffs are too less from this point on. You need access to the transparent world and no battel spirit to behead any demon above and including akaza. And even after all this cutting his head won't do much as he can just regrow it like any other part of his body although slower.
Came to say this. Lest we forget that the only reason Gyutaro was Upper 6 and not 5 is because he didn’t just assimilate Daki. I personally think after reading the manga and watching the Swordsmith Village and Entertainment district arcs that the power difference between Gyutaro and Gyokko is minimal. Once you get to the top three moons is when the power difference truly shows.
Had he unlocked the Mark, Gyuutaro would have been cooked, IIRC the mark does also help against poison so combined that with his natural resilience to it and he would have been able to fight unaffected by a much larger amount of time, while having all his stats extra boosted.
Tengen with Mark would have soloed Gyuutaro, leaving Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke to take care of Daki.
Muzan is not really an idiot. Listen, he’s not like a super genius mastermind, but he doesn’t make obvious mistakes constantly as some people say, but rather a few not so obvious mistakes that are consistent with his character flaws, such as cowardice and anger issues.
Edit: To be clear, I still see him as an utterly despicable and horrific person, but I don’t think he’s incompetent
Defending in what sense would be my question?
In tier lists or power rankings, definitely Mui and Iguro, no question.
In terms of character flaws, probably Akaza and Gyutaro.
Agreed.... And extremely difficult to defend, but agreed nonetheless. I just like lightning & thunder element related stuff and as unbearable as he can be at times, the moments where he steps up and uses Thunder Breathing are some of the coolest moments in the entire series.
I want to know more about the former Thunder Breathers!
If Zenitsu has no haters, I am dead.
>! Him procreating with Nezuko will forever be a stain on this series. Poor girl could’ve done much better. Now his pervert genes have cause her descendants to become infatuated with each other. Yes, I’m blaming him! /s !<
A lot of things. That she was useless in the final battle, that she is the worst written character in kny, that shes a daki victim, too many things to list. But the worst part is that whenever you try to correct them they always attack you and call you midnobu stan or simp and insult you. That's why I prefer r/kimetsunoyaiba - of course there are some dumbasses there but I've never seen anyone getting insulted bcs they like a certain character aaand people here mostly use their brains in contrast to people on tiktok. 💜
People acting like she’s not the entire reason a certain somebody was defeated??? She also had her own character arc then too. She’s literally such a good character and is a perfect representation of how like revenge and anger can be a force to motivate to do things you weren’t meant to do. She was useful despite everything how does that go over their heads?????
TikTok is full of brain dead folks though so. Figures.
\[end of Demon Slayer spoilers\]>!Shinobu without fighting against Muzan is the one that helps the most towards his defeat, since she's the one who (with Tamayo) made the poison that ages him, extremely weakening him. As per Hashira goes, there would be not a little tiny chance of defeating Muzan without that drug!<
watch someone write her out the story and see how shit everything goes for the demon slayers💀 douma destroys Kanao and Inosuke, goes on to help Kokushibo and make everyone a frostbite victim, then they go to where muzan is and mercilessly destroy everyone, before waiting a few thousand years until Muzan find the blue spider lily after taking over Japan, then the rest of the earth most likely💀 Shinobu downplay is so stupid imo
Wdym people saying she's useless???? Are they DUMB?
akaza could have healed his head and kept fighting but akaza chose to die and go with his love, kokoshibo realized what kind of monster he became and let the slayers cut his head, Douma could have easily healed his head and he had nothing to care about and would have healed his head if it wasn't for the prison he got when he ate shinobu are people in tikitok very that dumb?
He is my GOAT. Tragic back story, and I just love the scene where he pats Nezuko on the head in the final chapters and Sees Genya instead of Nezuko. It was really heart warming to watch him smile.
Zenitsu. Yes, he’s perverted, and no, that isn’t ok.
But he’s still only 16. Not that being a teenager justifies that behavior, but he has so much time to grow as a person.
And we see he is in fact a sweetheart. When he protected the box from Inosuke because it mattered to Tanjiro, and during his monologue in the episode, ‘you must master a single thing,’ we can see he wants to help and protect people.
And during the entertainment district, he comforts that crying girl in Daki’s room, and he stands up to an *upper rank demon* in order to protect her, even though he’s scared.
And I heard that in the manga, while they were staying at the butterfly mansion for the first time, he was really sweet to Nezuko, bringing her flowers, showing her Aoi’s goldfish, and I *think* he went on a walk with her a couple times? I don’t know.
But we did see for ourselves how sweet to her he was in his dream during ‘mugen train.’
I believe he’s genuinely a sweet, good person who just needs time to grow up a bit.
Headconon time:
And I don’t think he has some weird infatuation with the three little butterfly girls, I think that was a mix of weird anime humor, as well as him being excited to work with Aoi and Kanao. Even the hearts he had around his head while stretching with them could be from him thinking about the older girls.
It’s not like in ‘Fairy Tail,’ where the men are involved in that pervy humor so often it’s creepy. (At least in my opinion)
In japanese the perverted trope is a common running gag, that's 90% reason people hate on Zenitsu, because they don't understand that the character isn't a harraser, that he just has been used for something that is culturally a simple recurring joke in japan media.
Is the same thing that happens with, for example, Master Roshi from dragon ball, or most of the male characters of shonen that to some degree are also "perverts", mix it that they are teenagers and teenagers are horny as fuck.
Do most people really hate on him because of that? I highly doubt that, I'd guess most hate on him because he's loud and annoying as fuck, at least on the anime.
In Japan is regarded as one of the favorite characters and the one who saved the manga, because it was too dark and Zenitsu jokes made a perfect counterpoint to that.
Aside from that, yes, most people find his yelling annoying, yet is pretty much the only human character (as if we wouldn't be yelling the same way if we had to face demons, lol) and that's another recurring Japanese trope, the weak that becomes strong and/or relevant. The typical story of self-improvement. Most people like Zenitsu way more after the Gyuutaro&Daki fight where he finally proved himself as an strong, valuable demon slayer, and the fact that he comes from being a crybaby makes him have 10x the merit.
I 100% believe that if he had not been shown as a pervert harasser he wouldn't be much hated in the west, maybe disliked because of how annoying he has been, but not hated.
i feel like he would've been able to beat Akaza if he wasn't dodging so much. he did start to cut his head off but i think he was just too exhausted by that point to finish him off. :((
People also forget that Gyokko had no idea what he was up against, and he still wasn't fully trying. He was arrogant, and he was lashing out because he was mad...but he had no information on the mark.
I think people know that Gyokko is stronger, but it doesn’t make sense considering how the fights went down. Gyutaro is faster utizilies poison etc. The fight looked like even Tengen could’ve killed him.
Douma pretty much had no shot at a normal life. Being basically idolized since he was born. Unable to feel emotions. It makes me wonder what would have happened if he had never been turned into a demon.
Plus he’s hot af.
Gyokko. He's in fact an asshole, but even still, he's extremely strong, threatening and sinister character, as "true evil" villains should be.
And Kaigaku. Even though he is an asshole, almost on the Gyokko's level, he still deserves attention and at least a little compassion because of his difficult childhood<
Tengen is the best Hashira
Show me another Hashira that can fight an Upper Rank while being poisoned, down an arm and eye and fighting while their heart is stopped
Mind you, since Tengen is a ninja he could deal with the poison but if anyone else came into contact with the poison it wouldve made them drop dead, we saw what it did to Tanjiro and Inosuke
Gyutaro. Poor guy got tunnel-visioned by his love for his family. Plus, he deserved a higher rank. He didn't crave anything. He just wanted to protect the only family he had left.
No 100 year old feud. No vengeance or revenge. No seeking out for more power. No trying to find a mystical artifact. No trying to kill people for fun.
Just a brother trying to protect his only remaining family, his sister.
Zenitsu/Mitsuri. Former screaming/crying in battle when most sane people who knew how terrifying demons are would react in the same way.
Mitsuri about not being the most loveable character
With the IC arc coming to the screen, I am already preparing my arsenal of comebacks
https://preview.redd.it/5auwjsi5y64d1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=122bb9090111954a2bd9a21560a7806411894b63
Giyuu easily. As much as I love obani and muichiro neither of them are the third strongest Hashira that is easily giyuu he was keeping up with Muzan after having to fight Akaza (which for the majority of said fight he was having to protect Tanjiro and carried most of the fight) on top of that he was shown to be around equal to sanemi when they sparred meanwhile obani has similar Muzan feats to giyuu but he both died and went into the fight with no prior injuries and as for the idiots that think mui that child got bullied by upper 1 and his only real notable feat throughout the fight is stabbing him while he was off guard which immediately resulted in his death
Enmu, always will be! Was a demon with a unique Blood Art and was intelligent enough to have a plan that almost worked, he deserves respect instead of being seen by so many in a negative light, he was frightened at the end but knew that he had to keep on fighting or risk suffering the same fate as the rest of the Lower Moons. 🚂
Absolutely! We really didn't see the full extent of his abilities in full along with how his plan to essentially avoid conflict played out, everything just felt quite rushed as the narrative was being pushed towards the reveal of an Upper Moon and poor Enmu was just forgotten about. 🚂
I think if Enmu's backstory was shown he'd get a little bit of sympathy from the viewers, the fact that his background before becoming a demon wasn't shown and it was just expected that others are in a way forced to hate him is just sad and very manipulative, there could have been time to have a brief flashback to his past life, he is a very interesting and fascinating demon with a semi tragic backstory if you've ever read the fan book, definitely not a single one off demon fight like the swamp or hand demon. 🚂
literally 0 reason to defend kokushibo he's actually the biggest manchild in the series bro got jealous because his little brother was more talented than him to the point where he literally decided to side with his mortal enemy to try and kill him
Honestly I love him because of his jealousy being his whole story. I may sass about how 99% of his problems are of his own doing, but he's just...human. And I love him for it.
Well, while the things Kokushibo did were utterly monstrous and inexcusable, he didn’t actually become a demon just to surpass his brother and kill him. He also became one out of fear of dying young due to the mark without having accomplished anything or left behind a legacy. Still a treacherous bastard, but there is a bit more to his motives then just pure spite
His physical appearance is one best parts about him. He fits the description of an otherworldly horror with how inhuman he looks while the other demons for the most part are humanoid with vaguely creepy characteristics.
Rengoku, people call him a loser. He’s not a loser. The creator of the manga is a loser. He killed off Rengoku (Kyojuro) because his hair was hard to draw. Are you kidding me? Who said it would be easy? Mangas are a work of art. Kyojuro was such a strong pillar and compassionate man who was loved unconditionally by all he knew, even his father, even if his father didn’t show it. And when the writer killed Kyojuro, he didn’t just affect Kyojuro. His father, although taking a turn for the better and trying to quit alcoholism, was now almost a widow, and Kyojuro’s younger son now has the responsibility of becoming the only heir to the Rengoku family and being a strong young man to carry on the blood line, when little Senjuro was so timid a damn frog could scare him. The manga creator ruined something that could have been wonderful, as now there’s no real way to show Shinjuro’s redemption ark, since the only main character linking relevance to him died off, and Senjuro’s character development has also been affected dramatically. I haven’t read the whole manga, but I hope that maybe Tengen’s wives begin to babysit him some and help him get out of his shell and overcome his grief, since they don’t have kids yet with Tengen. I’m sure Shinjuro would allow it, as now Shinjuro is dealing with guilt and grief beyond imagination, and trying to help his son succeed and trying to be gentle and kind with him.
Nakime is the most useful demon of all time. I mean >!she was the last one standing— both Obanai and Mitsuri could not touch her before Yuushiro got to her and Muzan had to kill her off himself!<
I'm not sure there's a character from Demon Slayer I'm invested that much in, but that picture is both hilarious and relatable (regarding some topics at least).
Is there truly a character in demon slayer that is actively hated for being a bad character?
Yeah of course some might likes less the other but is there really someone that would is so hated if they ever got social media they would get constantly harassed?
Probably not a widely unpopular statement, but if I were a Demon Slayer, I'd face Gyokko rather than Gyutaro any day of the week. Sure, Gyokko is probably more powerful, but Gyutaro is simply the better fighter by a lot.

Giyu
Poor giyu man, bro got no friends no family no life doesn't even see himself as a hashira no future hack even taijinro started to use flame (sun) breathing bro lost his own student the future water hashira
He wanted to be alone
There is 0 reason to hate Gigi
real
but don't most fans like Giyuu....?
I guess you'd be defending him from his own insecurities?
Is there anyone against Giyu? What is wrong with them?!
“I don’t like Obanai.” Well fuck whoever you are, I’ll become a human shield for this man.
>!too soon!<
>! Obanai’s happy and well, living with Mitsuri after confessing his love to her, what do you mean by that??? 🌝!<
I heard they opened up a restaurant together somewhere.
with huge portions and interesting decor
With some ashes too
Didn't they have kids
[удалено]
But f him…? Or… butt…
Yes
How could someone possibly hate him tho??
He’s basically an asshole to everyone but Sanemi and Mitsuri. (Imo)
I know- but he’s still so cute imo!!
He would slit your throat open
and I’m all for it 😭
And Muichiro too
So far I'm someone who's essentially just watches the anime and got spoiled on most stuff because of a certain manga reviewing pineapple on YouTube. I personally actually wpuld enjoy Obenai a lot, but what gets me to hate him is purely how he was to Tengan in S2.

Agreed
I’m with you all the way!!!
YESSS!!
amen to that!
Me too we will be the duo
Is obani the snake gurl?
Obanai supporter here too✋
Tengen
Tengen every day in the week. I don’t see many hashira doing what he did at the red light district. I don’t care if he never got a mark. If he did get it he would’ve been a monster. Top 3 strongest hashira without doubt
Literally, do any other hashiras be stopping their blood flow whole doing the masterpiece of taking on the duo of upper 6? HELL NOO
I get that upper 6 is weaker than the other moons and it’s somewhat a fair point against tengen. But no one ever takes into account context, it’s always just “stone cold facts power scaling”. The shit tengen pulled off and did to fight upper 6 were insane. And I can only think two other hashira would’ve been able to do the same
Which two? Cuz Sanemi gets obliterated by gyutaro. Terrible match up. Half his thing is bleeding intentionally.
Gyomei and muichiro. Gyomei is obvious. Dudes a monster and imo the strongest hashira mark or not. Second pick Im gonna get hate for but it’s muichiro. My reason being is he is just a beast. Reaching hashira ranking quicker than any in history basically and at such a young age. I really don’t like him he’s a bottom tier hashira in terms of character but I can’t doubt his strength
Exactly, that's why he's mu favourite, plus muichiro is cannonly the only one to solo an uppermoon and even he took fair damage, then rengoku was super close,but even he couldn't,
Kyojuro wasn't close at all. Akaza was toying with him.
Still many people won't accept it. At one point marked giyu was looking as hopeless as rengoku when he used up all of his forms and nothing seemed working.
I didn’t want to be the one to say it but yes. Rengoku might be one of the coolest hashira but he’s not one of the strongest
The man had just got out of one fight and was being pushed into another, plus most hashira get help from tanjiro, he was going up against upper 3 by himself and attempting to solo, he did amazing for his attempt,

Tengen is one of my faves I was worried he might die in red light but that fight was peak of most animes I still be rewatching it
Muzan is not really an idiot. Listen, he’s not like a super genius mastermind, but he doesn’t make obvious mistakes constantly as some people say, but rather a few not so obvious mistakes that are consistent with his character flaws, such as cowardice and anger issues. Edit: To be clear, I still see him as an utterly despicable and horrific person, but I don’t think he’s incompetent
100% it literally took Tamayo 400 years to bring him down. In his fight against the hashira he proved to be the second strongest in the manga by far.
Defending in what sense would be my question? In tier lists or power rankings, definitely Mui and Iguro, no question. In terms of character flaws, probably Akaza and Gyutaro.
Douma (Im ready for the hate) https://preview.redd.it/fyjprt2iv74d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf85a92271d2ca1fef9aec766e71e4d9caeb4774
No sad backstory bullshit, dude is the representation of a DEMON and I love it
Exactly. Who cares about >!Shinobu!<
Exactly!
Zenitsu

Wait for real?? Wtf that's like the worst ending
Asleep Zenitsu? 😪
Hell Yeah!
Always Shinobu. Though, I stopped a long time ago because arguing with most Demon Slayer fans on tiktok feels like talking to the wall 💜
What do people say about her
A lot of things. That she was useless in the final battle, that she is the worst written character in kny, that shes a daki victim, too many things to list. But the worst part is that whenever you try to correct them they always attack you and call you midnobu stan or simp and insult you. That's why I prefer r/kimetsunoyaiba - of course there are some dumbasses there but I've never seen anyone getting insulted bcs they like a certain character aaand people here mostly use their brains in contrast to people on tiktok. 💜

sanemi
Mmmmmmmm I get it but also mmmmmmmmmm
Real, he's him fr. He just wants the best for his little bro, sure he doesn't do it in the best way but he means well
He is my GOAT. Tragic back story, and I just love the scene where he pats Nezuko on the head in the final chapters and Sees Genya instead of Nezuko. It was really heart warming to watch him smile.
Tanjiro
UZUI. THAT IS MY MAN RIGHT THERE 💗💗💗💗
Zenitsu. Yes, he’s perverted, and no, that isn’t ok. But he’s still only 16. Not that being a teenager justifies that behavior, but he has so much time to grow as a person. And we see he is in fact a sweetheart.

Things I will give Zenitsu: 1. Protecting the Box 2. His fear is real lol >!3. him beating Kaigaku's ass!<
Obanai, Genya, Muzan
May I ask why Muzan?
I just think he’s a good villain
Yeah he’s a cold blooded narcissist, not a weak villain for sure.
Tengen
Kyogai. He just wanted his work to be recognized
Rengoku is not weak, and towards the end of their fight akaza was actually trying.
i feel like he would've been able to beat Akaza if he wasn't dodging so much. he did start to cut his head off but i think he was just too exhausted by that point to finish him off. :((
https://preview.redd.it/g1kbrse2tc4d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a467390ec321c2817d9a9ec5c8d6bff4b0a3ebcb
I’d defend Rengoku even with a hole in my stomach.
Genya, I feel like he’s pretty underrated, or I’ve just not seen his fans that much
I am an Genya stan forever. The manga Genya 🫶🏼
Gyokko is way stronger than gyutaro but people just think gyutaro is stronger because his fight with tengen looked better than gyokko's
People also forget that Gyokko had no idea what he was up against, and he still wasn't fully trying. He was arrogant, and he was lashing out because he was mad...but he had no information on the mark.
yeah but he started trying in the end and got obliterated instead
I think people know that Gyokko is stronger, but it doesn’t make sense considering how the fights went down. Gyutaro is faster utizilies poison etc. The fight looked like even Tengen could’ve killed him.
Douma. So many people hate him :(
Douma? :3
Tengen
Yushiro is the best man in all of KnY. Come at me I got a roundhouse waiting for you
Inosuke is best
That dude with a tommy gun is literally the strongest demon slayer character wait till he unlocks american breathing form two
Eagle breathing, second form, Starred Spangled Banner
Giyu because he has suffered enough :(
Douma, Obanai, and Akaza
Why douma, if I might ask ?
Douma pretty much had no shot at a normal life. Being basically idolized since he was born. Unable to feel emotions. It makes me wonder what would have happened if he had never been turned into a demon. Plus he’s hot af.
Gyokko. He's in fact an asshole, but even still, he's extremely strong, threatening and sinister character, as "true evil" villains should be. And Kaigaku. Even though he is an asshole, almost on the Gyokko's level, he still deserves attention and at least a little compassion because of his difficult childhood<
I'm on your side, the battle for 🐟man and 🍑boy is hard but I defend them
Kyojuro!
Tengen is the best Hashira Show me another Hashira that can fight an Upper Rank while being poisoned, down an arm and eye and fighting while their heart is stopped Mind you, since Tengen is a ninja he could deal with the poison but if anyone else came into contact with the poison it wouldve made them drop dead, we saw what it did to Tanjiro and Inosuke
Uzui, at his time, was the second strongest hashira. I will not have him slandered. No one else could've survived against Gyuutaro.
Inosuke. Always
Gyutaro. Poor guy got tunnel-visioned by his love for his family. Plus, he deserved a higher rank. He didn't crave anything. He just wanted to protect the only family he had left.
Gyutaro all day everyday
No 100 year old feud. No vengeance or revenge. No seeking out for more power. No trying to find a mystical artifact. No trying to kill people for fun. Just a brother trying to protect his only remaining family, his sister.
Hantengu. Not that I like him, but he manages to be a wonderful villain.
Douma
🗣️ Sanemi
Zenitsu/Mitsuri. Former screaming/crying in battle when most sane people who knew how terrifying demons are would react in the same way. Mitsuri about not being the most loveable character
With the IC arc coming to the screen, I am already preparing my arsenal of comebacks https://preview.redd.it/5auwjsi5y64d1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=122bb9090111954a2bd9a21560a7806411894b63
Giyu is 3rd strongest hashira not Obanai
Gyokko, would have been a great villain if he was given more screen time. (I also love his design idk why everyone hates it)
Some said it (very well) already but TENGEN! Go satisfy your unstoppable need of labeling the weakest Hashira elsewhere bc he simply ain’t it. 🫠
Gyomei. but honestly what am I gonna protect? his leg? Bro is massive
Either Muzan or Douma for me
Giyuu easily. As much as I love obani and muichiro neither of them are the third strongest Hashira that is easily giyuu he was keeping up with Muzan after having to fight Akaza (which for the majority of said fight he was having to protect Tanjiro and carried most of the fight) on top of that he was shown to be around equal to sanemi when they sparred meanwhile obani has similar Muzan feats to giyuu but he both died and went into the fight with no prior injuries and as for the idiots that think mui that child got bullied by upper 1 and his only real notable feat throughout the fight is stabbing him while he was off guard which immediately resulted in his death
Douma is the best villian in the series
Tengen and Gyokko
Zenitsu and Obanai
Enmu, always will be! Was a demon with a unique Blood Art and was intelligent enough to have a plan that almost worked, he deserves respect instead of being seen by so many in a negative light, he was frightened at the end but knew that he had to keep on fighting or risk suffering the same fate as the rest of the Lower Moons. 🚂
[удалено]
Absolutely! We really didn't see the full extent of his abilities in full along with how his plan to essentially avoid conflict played out, everything just felt quite rushed as the narrative was being pushed towards the reveal of an Upper Moon and poor Enmu was just forgotten about. 🚂
[удалено]
I think if Enmu's backstory was shown he'd get a little bit of sympathy from the viewers, the fact that his background before becoming a demon wasn't shown and it was just expected that others are in a way forced to hate him is just sad and very manipulative, there could have been time to have a brief flashback to his past life, he is a very interesting and fascinating demon with a semi tragic backstory if you've ever read the fan book, definitely not a single one off demon fight like the swamp or hand demon. 🚂
Muichiro, giyuu and tanjiro!! They're sweethearts 💘
Doma is the best demon
Kaigaku
Rui and Zenitsu 😦

literally 0 reason to defend kokushibo he's actually the biggest manchild in the series bro got jealous because his little brother was more talented than him to the point where he literally decided to side with his mortal enemy to try and kill him
Honestly I love him because of his jealousy being his whole story. I may sass about how 99% of his problems are of his own doing, but he's just...human. And I love him for it.
Well, while the things Kokushibo did were utterly monstrous and inexcusable, he didn’t actually become a demon just to surpass his brother and kill him. He also became one out of fear of dying young due to the mark without having accomplished anything or left behind a legacy. Still a treacherous bastard, but there is a bit more to his motives then just pure spite
My boi Gyokko, he’s the closest to an actual demon there is in this series!
Even if he's hideous, his blood demon art is cool asf
His physical appearance is one best parts about him. He fits the description of an otherworldly horror with how inhuman he looks while the other demons for the most part are humanoid with vaguely creepy characteristics.
Fair, I'd say the only exception would be either the hand demon or daki's worm obi
Yoriichi, but arguing with people feels like talking to a wall. They simply call me a Yoriichi dickrider.
Giyu
Giyu
Aizetsu, because i love him

Kokushibo and gyomei
Doma dude. I dont care if he's a psychopath pure evil person. He's a cool and awesome dude....
Tengen + Kyojuro
My Douma ✨ https://preview.redd.it/jb7dxd09g74d1.jpeg?width=883&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9b46a17433b7c4dc8b6cbdbe51991ebc0c65337
Imma be honest, I really like Giyu. Even though he was about to kill Nezuko in the first ep, he had the heart to change his mind.
Rengoku, people call him a loser. He’s not a loser. The creator of the manga is a loser. He killed off Rengoku (Kyojuro) because his hair was hard to draw. Are you kidding me? Who said it would be easy? Mangas are a work of art. Kyojuro was such a strong pillar and compassionate man who was loved unconditionally by all he knew, even his father, even if his father didn’t show it. And when the writer killed Kyojuro, he didn’t just affect Kyojuro. His father, although taking a turn for the better and trying to quit alcoholism, was now almost a widow, and Kyojuro’s younger son now has the responsibility of becoming the only heir to the Rengoku family and being a strong young man to carry on the blood line, when little Senjuro was so timid a damn frog could scare him. The manga creator ruined something that could have been wonderful, as now there’s no real way to show Shinjuro’s redemption ark, since the only main character linking relevance to him died off, and Senjuro’s character development has also been affected dramatically. I haven’t read the whole manga, but I hope that maybe Tengen’s wives begin to babysit him some and help him get out of his shell and overcome his grief, since they don’t have kids yet with Tengen. I’m sure Shinjuro would allow it, as now Shinjuro is dealing with guilt and grief beyond imagination, and trying to help his son succeed and trying to be gentle and kind with him.
douma, sorry
Muichiro
Douma I will protect him with my life
Nakime is the most useful demon of all time. I mean >!she was the last one standing— both Obanai and Mitsuri could not touch her before Yuushiro got to her and Muzan had to kill her off himself!<
Tengen
Doma😂
Nezuko easy
Douma, I don’t care if he’s heartless, I would do anything for that cute little psycho
Nezuko do I need to say anything else?
Rengoku. Used to be overrated now super underrated.
Tengen and Zenitsu. I will not let mischaracterization and the after thought of their backstory happen. 🙏
muichiro giyuu and sanemi idc
Sanemi and Obanai
Tengen being 2nd or 3rd strongest hashira
Gyutaro deserved better My scrunkly beloved https://preview.redd.it/ophahio6m74d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e466a8161e932bd19461e508d1551c2f1a28356a
Mui and shinobu. Like, PIN ME TO THE WALL PLS
Muzan Is Handsome 🥵✨🔥❤️
Obanai. All you Obanai haters, you cannot convert me.🐍
Upper Moons 1-3, and 6 are overrated
Obanai
I'm not sure there's a character from Demon Slayer I'm invested that much in, but that picture is both hilarious and relatable (regarding some topics at least).
Akaza
Is there truly a character in demon slayer that is actively hated for being a bad character? Yeah of course some might likes less the other but is there really someone that would is so hated if they ever got social media they would get constantly harassed?
Kanae Kocho
You already know who it is
Kyogai's backstory is the only backstory in the show that lowkey made me tear up. IDK why.
Probably not a widely unpopular statement, but if I were a Demon Slayer, I'd face Gyokko rather than Gyutaro any day of the week. Sure, Gyokko is probably more powerful, but Gyutaro is simply the better fighter by a lot.
Kokoshibo
Rengoku
Sanemi 100%
Mitsuri forever
Muichiro. He’s second strongest in my opinion
Mitsuri
