A dramatic, emotional fight between two sides – demons

Demon Slayer Characters
Demon Slayer has a lot of characters from different classes, here we will give some main characters:
Kyojuro Rengoku
Since the new breathing technique of Tanjiro is quite fiery, it is possible that this technique can be linked to Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira.
It has been mentioned in a way, and it is obvious that Tanjiro will give Kyojuro some advice on his new technique… provided he does have the same technique to breathe flammable and not a whole new technique.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki
In the anime, little is known about Kagaya Ubuyashiki, owing to the fact that the show barely touches on this fascinating character.
That said, there’s no denying that Kagaya is set to play a significant role in the upcoming events of Demon Slayer, and fans are eager to see what role the Demon Slayer Corps’ leader will play in the future.
Inosuke Hashibira
The character of Inosuke is surely an interesting one and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for that characters, one of Tanjiro’s new allies whose combat styles are nothing short of animalism.
He may sometimes work quite bluntly or uncouthly, but his tough exterior certainly hides a pretty soft spot for his friends, and the length he takes to ensure they are not harmed.
Giyu Tomioka
One thing, however, is sure—familiarity Tanjiro’s with the water respiration technique means he will definitely spend some time looking for Water Hashira’s mentorship.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Zenitsu is easily one of the most unpredictable characters on the entire show, originally like a comic-relief character… before demonstrating the unbelievable nature of the technique of his breathing, specifically, that technique which he has mastered to a T.
It is a testament to how much his unconscious is trained to face these massive threats that his combat abilities truly take the forefront.
Muzan Kibutsuji
Clearly, this point is that Muzan is about to act as an antagonist in the world of Demon Slayer – and rather interesting one.
One can only wait and see that he is prepared for humanity by diabolic plans… although it is obvious that these plans would not really be ideal for humanity in the least given the way he has dispersed so many humans in his blood-thirsty wrecks.
Kanao Tsuyuri
The introduction of Kanao to the Demon Slayer world was remarkable and it is clear that her bond with Tanjiro will be studied later in the series.
Your character already possesses a great deal of mystery and intrigue, making it a perfect match for Demon Slayer’s landscape and its unique but obtuse themes.
Genya Shinazugawa
Of all the Demon Slayers that were introduced in the series, Genya is one of the most unique fighters… especially since he is not able to breathe right at first!!
Instead Genya reaches his strength by eating the flesh of demons, allowing him to line the divine world into a hybrid fighter, who definitely has a great deal of potential in this series.
Nezuko Kamado
Tanjiro’s precious younger sister suffered a devil attack, which eventually made her a demon… even if she was able to retain her humanity somehow.
It is this interesting dynamic around the character of Nezuko who easily makes him one of the most likable characters of the whole show, and fans can only root for a good ending, including this adorable person who gets her humanity back.
Tanjiro Kamado
Tanjiro’s sheer level of tragic events following the murder of his family by demons – save for the sake of Nezuko itself – is nothing short of disastrous and turns this person instantly into a compassionate person and an almost perfect person in fans’ eyes.
Of the unbelievable struggles, he was already a part of his sleeping potential, it is obvious that Tanjiro is sure to do greater things, and it’s only hopeful that he and his sister will live the life they deserved before the tragedy hit their family.

In a rage, Tanjiro strikes her. The Sabito and Makomo fantasies, coming back to the rock, wonder if Tanjiro could derail the man who killed both of them, who did not cut his throat in the past.
