When the Demon King first interacts with Tanjiro his first impression is that of fear, especially when he notices the Hanafuda earrings. This is due to the fact that the last true danger to him came from this original sun breather. Muzan had previously believed that he had slaughtered all who had known of this ultimate technique and viewed the earrings as a sign that there was still yet a sun breather. Unfortunately for him, this did end up being true, although not till much later. This fear that was instilled in Kibutsuji was so deep that in the very next episode he commanded his subjects to bring him the head of the Slayer who wears the Hanafuda earrings. Muzan was left with deep scars after this encounter and with Kokushibo’s assistance, the two rushed to kill anyone who used the Sun Breathing technique, thus hoping to prevent another Demon Slayer that had the power to kill him. They were almost successful and able to nearly exterminate Sun Breathing entirely. Tanjiro's early design.In contrast to his current look, Tanjiro's initial design did not have the scar on his forehead, did not have his hanafuda earrings, and his overall appearance was more androgynous that it is now. He was also initially supposed to have a more serious, less lighthearted personality. Nigh-Absolute Regeneration: Upon assimilating the blood of the Demon King, a being who possesses the fastest and most powerful regenerative power out of all demons, Tanjiro's regenerative abilities surpassed that of all other demons that existed. Even Giyu Tomioka noted that this ability, coupled with his immunity to sunlight, makes him a being who is practically invincible to all forms of physical harm. [36] This story seems to be related to Sumiyoshi, a very old ancestor of the Kamado family. Sumiyoshi looks exactly like a younger Tanjiro and although we don’t really know the exact relation between them, Sumiyoshi is somehow related to the Kamado family.

When Yoriichi came forward to kill him, Muzan used the remains of whatever little power he had left and divided his body in a powerful burst that seemed like an explosion. Yoriichi was seemingly able to destroy nearly all the new fragments, but the pieces he missed ran away and allowed Muzan to regenerate again after a while. This article is going to explain everything we know about the Hanafuda earrings in Demon Slayer, as well as their official meaning in the real world. You’re also going to find out what they mean and how important they are in the universe of Demon Slayer. What Are Hanafuda Earrings? So, how does the above story actually relate to the Hanafuda earrings? Well, and we kept that spoiler is hidden on purpose (although it’s visible in the video), Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the demon slayer who almost killed Muzan, was wearing the Hanafuda earrings as his trademark. Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust ( 漆 ( しち ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 雫 ( しずく ) 波 ( は ) 紋 ( もん ) 突 ( づ ) き , Shichi no kata: Shizuku Hamon Tsuki ?) [47] - The user performs a precise, fast and accurate thrust with their blade. That is why Muzan hates these earrings and that is why he is so afraid of them, but also why Tanjiro is going to play such a big role in the evolution of the series.Beneficent Radiance ( 輝 ( き ) 輝 ( き ) 恩 ( おん ) 光 ( こう ) , Kiki Onkō ?) [59] - The user spirals into the air and delivers a powerful slash that surrounds the enemy.

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 blue color and a tsuba which was oval-shaped with four indentations and dull gray in color. Tanjiro also uses this during Final Selection. Tanjuro Kamado · Kie Kamado · Takeo Kamado · Hanako Kamado · Shigeru Kamado · Rokuta Kamado · Sumiyoshi Kamado · Suyako Kamado · Sumire Kamado Pseudo-Precognition: When training with Yoriichi Type Zero, Tanjiro's sense of smell evolved further to be able to predict up to 6 moves into the future, being capable of foreseeing actions and intentions of others merely through scent, even of non-living things like Yoriichi Type Zero itself. [33] Tanjiro noted that the smell of the future was different and much faster compared to the smell of the 'Opening Thread', giving him the reflexes and movements comparable to a Hashira and allowing to go toe to toe with Hantengu's clones early on.In Hawaii, it is called Sakura, Higobana, and sometimes Hanafura. In South Korea, the cards are called Hwatoo and the most common game is “Va Stop” (Go Stop). In South Korea, it is very common for it to be played during special holidays such as the lunar new years, and also during the Korean holiday of Chuseok. Demon Slayer Mark: Tanjiro's Demon Slayer Mark takes the form 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, speed, and reflexes.

While on Mount Sagiri, Tanjiro managed to impress Sakonji Urokodaki, the former Water Hashira, evading dozens of traps hidden all over the mountain to a certain degree of success through the use of his sharp sense of smell and ultimately managed to get accepted as his student. When tasked to cut a giant boulder, Tanjiro met the spirits of Makomo and Sabito, who trained him to properly utilize Total Concentration Breathing and hone his swordsmanship skills. After half a year of extremely intensive training, Tanjiro was able to surpass Sabito in a swordsmanship skill, awakening the ability to see the Opening Thread as well as being able to slice the boulder in two, a boulder bigger and harder than any student before him had cut before. During Final Selection, he was able to 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 to the average of two to three humans that demons on the mountain consume, making him the most fearsome demon Tanjiro has encountered so 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 to successfully decapitate the demon.

To Akaza) " Everything you're saying is wrong. Your presence here now is proof. Everyone is a helpless baby when they're born. Same with you Akaza. You don't remember it, but when you were a baby... someone protected and helped you too. The strong protect the weak. Then the weak get stronger and help those weaker than themselves. That is the law of nature!" [88] Tanjiro's name when posing as a courtesan, Sumiko (すみこ Sumiko), is similar to his ancestor's name, Sumiyoshi, and descendant, Sumihiko. All three contain the kanji for " charcoal" ( 炭 , sumi ?). Fourth Form: Striking Tide ( 肆 ( し ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 打 ( う ) ち 潮 ( しお ) , Shi no kata: Uchishio ?)
