The third season of “Kimetsu no Yaiba“He hasn’t cut his hair when it comes to introducing new characters: from a first look at Kokushibo, the Upper Moon 1 under Muzan’s command, to a strange presence of Yoriichi and also what concerns me today: Sumiyoshi and his true identity. Because indeed, surely more than one was stunned when out of nowhere a character appeared on the screen who, for all intents and purposes, was identical to Tanjiro.

¿Quien es Sumiyoshi in Kimetsu no Yaiba?

  • The answer to the question ‘Who is Sumiyoshi?’ It’s very simple: he is an ancestor of Tanjiro.
  • The similarities between Sumiyoshi and Tanjiro are many, and that is that physically sharing eyes, facial structure, and even hairalthough everyone has styled it to their liking.
Sumiyoshi is Tanjiro’s ancestor and the physical similarities speak for themselves.
  • The similarities between Tanjiro and his ancestor aren’t just physical. With the little that we see of Sumiyoshi, we already understand that he has that same warm and charitable soul that characterizes the protagonist of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

What is Sumiyoshi’s role in Kimetsu no Yaiba? (SPOILERS)

  • When Tanjiro recovers from his injuries after the fight against Upper Moon 6, he receives a memory inherited from his ancestor, Sumiyoshi, in the form of a dream. In the memory, Sumiyoshi himself can be seen accompanied by Yoriichi Tsugikuniresponsible for creating the Breath of the Sun.
  • It is understood, due to the relationship of the two characters, that Yoriichi saved Sumiyoshi at some point. of what could have been certain death at the hands of a demon.
  • After establishing a friendly relationship, Sumiyoshi became Yoriichi’s apprenticeand from there was born precisely the dance of the Hinokami Kagura.

Yoriichi met Sumiyoshi when he was still in his prime as a swordsman.
  • This dance has the role of collect each of the moves created by Yoriichi for the different forms of Breathing the Sun. Since it’s the strongest breath and the only one to truly stand up to Muzan, Sumiyoshi and Yoriichi decided it was the best way to keep her alive forever and ever.
  • Beyond this revelation, the truth is that Sumiyoshi’s presence in the Kimetsu no Yaiba story is extremely limited..
  • As a curiosity about Sumiyoshi, I will point out that He also devoted himself to work with coal like Tanjiro and his family. In fact, his name can be split into two different kanji – ‘Sumi’, which represents coal, and ‘Yoshi’, which represents luck or fortune.

Although Sumiyoshi is not a character that we will see fighting in “Kimetsu no Yaiba”, the reality is that its relevance in the development of the facts has practically no equal. After all, he’s the first of Tanjiro’s line to master the Hinokami Kagura, he’s actually the creator of it, so without him or his friendship with Yoriichi, we wouldn’t have been able to reach current events. Sometimes what happens in the shadows is almost more relevant than what is seen in the spotlight.
