“Kimetsu no Yaiba“It’s a story in which what is strange is not having a traumatic past or any family drama. Because indeed, becoming a demon or someone who fights a demon can only come from not not have a precisely “normal” life, is the case of Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of this story that we see beginning with the murder of his entire family and the conversion of his sister into a demon. But who is hiding behind something so cruel?
Who is the killer of Tanjiro’s family?
- Whoever murdered Tanjiro’s family is no more and no less than Kibutsuji Muzan, the first of all demons.
- Muzan lived over a thousand years as the main representative of the demon race, and Tanjiro’s family is just one of its many victims.
- Muzan kills each of Tanjiro’s siblings as well as his mother, but with the exception of Nezuko, to whom he gives the terrible fate of also becoming a demon.
Why are Tanjiro’s family getting killed? (SPOILERS)
- The truth is that Kibutuji Muzan has a very clear reason for ending Tanjiro’s entire family: fear and hate.
- Muzan finds out at some point that Tanjiro owns the Hanafuda earringsa family heirloom passed down between generations that serves to identify those who possess the ability to naturally use the Breath of the Sun.
- The Breath of the Sun is the most powerful of all breathsand the one that forced Muzan himself into hiding for decades because he couldn’t defeat his creator: Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
- Basically, Muzan wanted to make sure the new generation of Breath of the Sun users would NOT survive. However, what he did instead was feed Tanjiro’s inner fire that it should nevertheless be emphasized that NOT a descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni (something that can be quite confusing given the similarities in appearance).
What are the consequences of the death of Tanjiro’s family? (SPOILERS)
- With Tanjiro’s family murdered and Nezuko turned into a demon, Tanjiro himself has only one choice in life: become a demon slayer to find Muzan and bring his sister back to human.
- It is thus, surely, if Muzan hadn’t let his fear control his actions, in the end Tanjiro would have had no reason to become a demon slayer and, therefore, learn to use the Breath of the Sun.
- Not only that, but going a bit further, it’s because Tanjiro takes action that all pillars of Kimetsu no Yaiba eventually gain access to the hunter’s markan activator that allows you to increase your physical qualities almost to the level of demons, but with the disadvantage of savagely reducing your life expectancy.
- That is to say, in a way, By the time Muzan murdered Tanjiro Kamado’s family, he also ended up signing his own death warrant..
The truth, the ‘What goes up must come down‘ punched Muzan in the face with almost absurd force. The tremendous butterfly effect that occurs in the story of “Kimetsu no Yaiba” is curious, as is the fact that Despite the fact that demons generally act with unprecedented arrogance and superiority, they also end up being carried away by the most primitive emotions.. Muzan may have ended Tanjiro’s family back then, but it certainly didn’t pay off very well for the patriarch.
