Zenitzu

Personality:   Zenitsu depends on Tanjiro quite frequently during intense situations early on such as when they come into contact with Demons. This was due to Zenitsu's low self-esteem and a self-deprecating belief that he was a weakling, and because Tanjiro was less likely to experience fear. Zenitsu respects and admires his leadership but also ridicules him out of jealousy whenever Tanjiro mentions his encounters with females without Zenitsu. He also frequently gets frustrated by Tanjiro's bravery and heroism, seeing it as unnecessarily suicidal and getting dragged into dangerous situations because of it. Nevertheless, Zenitsu greatly values their friendship due to Tanjiro's immense kindness and patience, and is brave enough to do what Tanjiro tells him to at the risk of his wellbeing. He's quite possibly Zenitsu's first legitimate friend in his entire life. They cooperate well during battles. Nezuko Kamado Despite having an intense fear of Demons, Zenitsu develops a crush on Nezuko. He tries to convince her to marry him several times and never fails to mention his admiration for her whenever he sees her. Zenitsu and Nezuko Injured Zenitsu hugs Nezuko. However, later down the line, Zenitsu eventually calms down around Nezuko and becomes slightly less aggressive. He often tells her stories about the rehabilitation training session which he does with Tanjiro which she missed out on, how Tanjiro cheers Zenitsu on during said rehabilitation training, and he promises at one point to take her to a flower field.[1] Additionally, he had let Nezuko look at Shinobu Kocho's goldfish without Shinobu's permission Zenitsu also protects Nezuko multiple times when she is in danger, evident during Zenitsu's first meeting with Inosuke Hashibira and the battle against Enmu in the train. Kaigaku Both Zenitsu and Kaigaku trained under Jigoro Kuwajima as successors to the Thunder Hashira. Regardless of the shared manimosity between them, Zenitsu holds a great deal of respect towards him, going so far as to punch other members of the Demon Slayer Corps that talked badly about him behind his back.[2] Kaigaku, on the other hand, always belittled Zenitsu and called him "dirt" due to his lack of strength. Kaigaku's personality ultimately proved to be a stark contrast to Zenitsu's. While both were afraid of demons, Zenitsu decided that he would continue fighting against them and remain loyal to the Demon Slayer Corps. Kaigaku, on the other hand, would eventually decide to betray the Demon Slayer Corps and become a demon himself when Kokushibo gave him a chance to join the Twelve Kizuki in an attempt to spare his life. During the Hashira training, Zenitsu gives off a different, more serious vibe as if he is focused on something important.[3] When going up against Kaigaku, Zenitsu is stern, he constantly insults Kaigaku and is described as suddenly becoming a different person by Kaigaku himself.[4] Despite how Zenitsu acts towards Kaigaku, in the past he had always respected him even if he hated him. Zenitsu is able to admit that Kaigaku was special and important to him just like his Gramps. At the end of the battle, as Zenitsu falls he says he wished to use his own technique, Honoikazuchi no Kami beside Kaigaku in battle one day, together.[5] Following the fight, when Zenitsu sees Jigoro, his own Gramps before him, he can't help but cry and apologize for not getting along with Kaigaku. Zenitsu thought that if he hadn't existed, Kaigaku wouldn't have became a demon and instead he would become something different. Zenitsu felt like Jigoro deserved to be paid back for helping him, so he apologizes for not being able to pay him back.[6] Jigoro Kuwajima Jigoro comforting Zenitsu Zenitsu being comforted by his master. Jigoro first met Zenitsu when he saved him from a financial dilemma, taking it upon himself to train the young boy to become a swordsman and receiving a lot of respect and appreciation from the latter as a result.[7] Under Jigoro's mentorship, Zenitsu learned the Thunder Breathing alongside another student, Kaigaku. Jigoro was strict to Zenitsu due to his inexperience, but he nevertheless continued teaching him without giving up. Zenitsu held a great deal of familial love for his mentor, often referring to him informally as "Gramps" rather than "Master". When it is later revealed to Zenitsu that his master committed seppuku alone after Kaigaku willingly allowed himself to be transformed into a Demon, he becomes both shocked and enraged towards the latter, feeling immense grief and pain over his father figure's departure. However, his passing causes Zenitsu to immediately focus on his training in order to personally lay his mentor's regret to rest by becoming strong enough to kill Kaigaku and redeem Jigoro's name. Following Kaigaku's defeat, Zenitsu encountered Jigoro once more in the afterlife. Zenitsu apologized to him for not getting along with Kaigaku, yet before he could return to the land of the living, Jigoro declared to Zenitsu that he was his pride and joy. Sometime later, Jigoro was cremated. Zenitsu kept his late mentor's ashes as he moved into the Kamado household with Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Inosuke. Inosuke Hashibira Zenitsu and Inosuke usually do not get along despite being on the same team mainly due to their extremely low opinions of each other and their wildly contrasting personalities, Zenitsu being easily frightened while Inosuke being fearless. Inosuke sees Zenitsu as annoying, loud, weak (initially) and a crybaby; while Zenitsu sees Inosuke as a violent moron who's only interested in fighting. However, in dire situations, they can cooperate well. Inosuke shows a level of admiration for Zenitsu's abilities while asleep, saying he should sleep forever after seeing how cool he fights for the first time.[8] Shinobu Kocho Zenitsu appears to be very fond of Shinobu's presence due to her good looks and her friendliness towars him. He blushes when he sees her and gets very active after she holds his hand and encourages him to do his recovery training. Zenitsu also believes that Shinobu could get by in life with just her looks alone. Zenitsu is a young man of average height with fair skin and downward-sloped, worried-looking eyes that fade from soft brown to gold and golden, forked eyebrows that sharply fade into a warm orange color. He has short, yellow hair of varying lengths, cutting off squarely at the ends where it fades to a darker orange color, that falls in front of his face in uneven bangs, loosely resembling a bowl cut. Before he became a Demon Slayer, Zenitsu's hair was originally black, but it turned the color it is currently when he was struck by lightning during his training. For some time following the battle at Mount Natagumo, his limbs temporarily shrunk due to Son's poison but were able to return to normal afterward thanks to medicine he had taken developed by Shinobu Kocho. He wears a paler brown version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, which consists of a dark brown gakuran jacket, a white belt around his waist and hakama pants that extend, as well as his signature white-triangle patterned, yellow and orange gradient haori. As well as this, Zenitsu also sports a pair of Kyahan, tied at the front in 3 white bows, with the same pattern as his haori, pale brown tabi socks and white-laced zōri. Zenitsu is cowardly, weak-willed, and anxious, often claiming that he doesn't have long to live due to the dangerous job of being a Demon Slayer. He has rather low self-esteem despite his talent and strength, even considering himself useless, evident when he couldn't believe he had slain a demon and tricked himself into instead believing that it was Shoichi, even though the latter was a young child who didn't possess any form of skill.[5] Zenitsu is in a constant state of fear and he frequently tries to run away at the sight of danger, claiming he wants to live a modest, normal life, instead of that of a Demon Slayer. Due to this, Zenitsu screams and shouts a lot, much to the annoyance of the people around him. He is also shown to be pessimistic at times, especially during Hashira Training where he lashed out at Tanjiro and Inosuke for viewing the training positively. In spite of his weaknesses, Zenitsu desires to live up to the expectations others have set for him and will try his hardest when he needs to. He holds great respect and admiration towards his comrades and his deceased teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima, and his inner focus and drive in avenging him help to wash away his cowardice and second thoughts when he is in a pinch. Zenitsu also hates himself for how cowardly and incompetent he is, genuinely striving to better himself. Zenitsu is also shown to be something of a wannabe womanizer, stemming from a desire to not be single should he be killed. He tends to hit on girls who he thinks are cute and asks them to marry him, much to their annoyance This womanizing nature is shown to override his docile and quiet personality, particularly when he believes his comrades are "flirting" with cute girls; he would snap and goes in long hysterical rants and complaints. Zenitsu is shown to have a strong attraction to Nezuko, openly expressing his affection for her and always rushing to protect her as if on instinct. During these times, he is also shown to become physically aggressive, lashing out at people in frustration. Though, despite his shallow behaviour in this regard, Zenitsu does show to respect women, telling Daki to let go of a girl that Daki nearly tore the ear off of, and later demanded that she apologize, showing no fear at all in front of the enraged Upper Rank demon. In spite of his cowardly demeanour and somewhat pathetic attempts to gain the attention of women, he has shown level-headedness in the rare occasion, becoming annoyed by his comrades' shenanigans, such as Tanjiro's kind naivety, Inosuke's bombastic personality, Kyojuro's boisterous and loud character, and Tengen's self-glorifying proclamations. As such, he typically squabbles with Inosuke when the latter goes on his loud demands and boasts. Additionally, as the only one to have grown up in the city, Zenitsu is the most street-smart of the trio, being the most familiar with urban environments and Japan's industrialization. As such, he became frustrated with his partners' lack of understanding, namely Tanjiro and Inosuke's inability to recognize a train. Before the raid on the Infinity Castle, Zenitsu gives off a different, more serious vibe as if he is focused on something important. This development occurred after receiving a letter from Chuntaro, which revealed his master's death and Kaigaku's role behind it.[8] During his fight against Kaigaku, Zenitsu is stern and becomes enraged, causing him to angrily yell at him for disrespecting their cultivator.[9] His sudden change surprises his ex-senior, as Zenitsu shows a more mature persona compared to his usual cowardice. Abilities Indomitable Will: In spite of his initial cowardice and reluctance to fight, Zenitsu nonetheless possesses indomitable willpower and spirit. This was displayed when he absolutely refused to let Inosuke kill the demon inside Tanjiro's box, and protected it to the end despite getting relentlessly beat up by Inosuke. While he was asleep against the battle against Daki, Zenitsu had the willpower to continue fighting despite sustaining numerous slash wounds all over his body and having his feet broken. Through sheer will and anger, Zenitsu was able to overcome his cowardice and stay awake in battle against demons, shown during his bout with Kaigaku and Muzan, especially in the fight with the latter in which he refused to give up and persisted despite being enervated and injured. Tactical Intellect: Even when fighting unconscious, Zenitsu has displayed incredible judgement and tactical intellect. When fighting consciously, this ability is fully released. This able was best exhibited during his battle against Upper Rank Six, Daki. When Inosuke made an erroneous deduction of her weaknesses, Zenitsu correctly explicated that all they need to do is keep both demons' head disconnected to kill them. After his bout with Kaigaku commenced, he was able to clearly think and process his techniques and demonic abilities. Unconscious Combat: Zenitsu has the ability to fight when he sleeps, which allows him to awaken his true strength. While awake, his nerves and fear cause him to freeze up so he cannot move. When his life is in danger, his nerves and fear grow so strong that he passes out. But while asleep, his nerves are no longer holding him back, allowing him to fight and move with great judgement, precision and skill. His hearing also places a big part in allowing Zenitsu to fight unconsciously, as it enables him to discern his surroundings and the location of his enemies and their attacks. This also allows him to fight even after he falls victim to Enmu's spell that makes anyone go into deep sleep. Physical Abilities Enhanced Strength: Zenitsu has attained amazing physical strength through years of harsh training. Zenitsu can hold down Inosuke Hashibira with his bare hands and throw his entire body by grabbing to and swinging one of his legs. Most importantly, Zenitsu has incredible leg strength allowing him to jump extremely high and move at blistering speeds to perform his Thunder Breathing techniques. He was also able to damage the body of Muzan, whose body has the highest durability out of all the demons, further testifying his incredible physical strength. Immense Speed & Reflexes: Zenitsu is extremely fast, being able to easily move faster than even the eye can see. Even during the beginning of his career as a Demon Slayer, it is plainly obvious that his speed far outclassed that of lesser demons such as the Tongue Demon and Son of the Spider Family. During both skirmishes, neither demon was able to hit Zenitsu when he was actively engaged with the battle and both were completely unable to react to the speed of his attacks. During the battle against Enmu, he was able to save Nezuko from Lower Rank One's flesh appendages and could slice through many of them before Enmu could react. As he progresses, his speed has improved to the point that his movements couldn't be perceived by Upper Rank demons, like Daki and Kaigaku, the former's reflexes having been amplified multiple times during the fight and latter being a user of the same Breathing Style as Zenitsu. Moreover, Zenitsu could move faster than Kaigaku's lightning-based Blood Demon Art and cut his neck before the attack reached him. Most impressively, Zenitsu could land multiple hits on the imperceptibly fast Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, with his techniques, albeit he was severely weakened then. Immense Stamina & Endurance: Zenitsu has incredible stamina and endurance. He has been shown to continue fighting even after being affected by lethal poison from the Son Spider Demon that was gradually weakening him and turning him into a spider. He was also able to defend 3 train cars with Nezuko for an extended period of time without tiring out. Later, Zenitsu, along with Inosuke, engaged in combat with Upper Rank Six, Daki, for an extended long period of time. Even after receiving numerous wounds from the Upper Rank and later getting trapped under rubble, Zenitsu had enough stamina left to unleash his Thunderclap and Flash: Godspeed technique twice; once to get out of the rubble and the second time to blitz Daki. He was able to continue fighting with Kaigaku even after being on the receiving end of multiple Blood Demon Art-enhanced Thunder Breathing techniques that burned his skin and eventually summon enough power to use his ultimate technique and blitz him. Zenitsu was even able to exert himself for around half an hour during the fight against Muzan, even being able to surpass his limit of only being able to use his Thunderclap and Flash: Godspeed technique twice a day before his legs gave out. Supernatural Abilities Enhanced Hearing: Zenitsu possesses a heightened sense of hearing, allowing him to detect danger from even the faintest of sounds. With this, he has displayed the ability to decipher layers upon layers of sound in one of the brothels and even in the Infinity Castle. As another testament to his great sound detection ability, he can perfectly replicate any tune he hears on a shamisen and koto only after listening to it once for the first time, possessing perfect pitch despite having no musical background. Zenitsu's exceptional hearing also enables him to fight in his asleep, an impressive feat as he has no visual aid and can only use sound to discern his surroundings while keeping up with the attacks of demons. Extrasensory Perception: Zenitsu's hearing allows him to hear and pick up sounds outside the normal range of perception, such as detecting a person's thoughts, emotions and even their personality just by picking up the subtle sounds they produce. Moreover, he can discern a human from a demon by comparing the sounds they make, which also allows him to determine their strength to an extent as Daki, an Upper Rank demon, has a more terrible sound than normal demons.
