While Zenitsu is generally an unlikable character, he does show moments of bravery with good intentions. This remarkable ability will be discussed further in depth below.Īfter entering the house, Tanjiro and Zenitsu are divided, leading to another Zenitsu ability being revealed within Demon Slayer.įrom his initial appearances, it is evident that Zenitsu is scared, wants to marry, and believes it unlikely he’ll succeed as a Demon Slayer. Tanjiro and Zenitsu are taken to the house of Tsuzumi Drum Demon, where Zenitsu can detect sounds without Tanjiro or his kids being able to do so. At this point in Zenitsu’s mind, he feels threatened by Tanjiro and demands that he keep him safe until his wedding day arrives. After passing the Final Selection and receiving the Kasugai Sparrow instead of the Crow, Zenitsu then encounters Tanjiro Kamado when asking a woman for marriage assistance. Zenitsu’s story begins with his performance on Demon Slayer. This characteristic sets Kaigaku apart from Zenitsu further away regarding her appearance. Kaigaku and Zenitsu have never been literary counterparts, with Zenitsu having a more critical attitude toward Kaigaku than the former yet both characters still show respect to one another despite having such different viewpoints.

Despite surviving, his appearance changed forever – from black to an unforgettable yellow.

One day, Zenitsu was hiding in a tree away from Jigoro (who believed would make him a slave to death), when lightning struck and transformed his hair from black into the distinctive yellow seen throughout the series. Kaigaku even became resentful of Zenitsu for constantly lecturing him about being a crying baby, among other things. Kaigaku was another student who often berated Zenitsu for calling Jigoro Gramps Jigoro and other unintentional actions. They form an incredible bond, similar to that between grandparents and grandchildren – hence why Zenitsu refers to Jigoro Gramps. Jigoro is a former Thunder Hashira who studied under Zenitsu to learn the art associated with Thunder Breathing. Jigoro Kuwajima eventually steps in and takes care of Zenitsu (and also handles her debt). Zenitsu’s story from Demon Slayer ultimately revolves around him taking on debt for the girl he loves, but she runs off with someone else, leaving Zenitsu with nothing but the money.
