“Kimetsu no Yaiba“No se corta lo más mínimo a la hora de darle a sus personajes elements que hagan que sus designers sean claramente llamativos, como puede ser la máscara de Jabalí de Inosuke, la cicatriz en la frente de Tanjiro o lo que me concierne en el día today: the bamboo tube that we see accompanying Nezuko for most of the story. And it seems logical why he has this tube in question, the truth is that there are some nuances that can be made.
The origin of the tube that accompanies Nezuko in Kimetsu no Yaiba
- To talk about the origin of Nezuko’s bamboo tube, we must go back to the very beginning of manga and anime history.
- It should be remembered that the reason why Tanjiro becomes a demon hunter is a double effect of Muzan’s intervention: murdering her family and turning Nezuko herself into a demon.
- Originally encountering this tragedy, Tanjiro grabs his sister (the sole survivor) and carries her for help. However, halfway wakes up transformed and attempts to assault Tanjiro himself.
- It is here that the figure of Giyu Tomiokathe first Pillar that we encounter in Kimetsu no Yaiba and the one that prevents Nezuko from devouring her brother Tanjiro.
- However, Tomioka intended to finish off Nezuko completely until Tanjiro stopped her, and in turn, Nezuko responds to her brother’s feelings by “come to her senses”. With this view, Tomioka decides to give the drastic situation a chance but providing the bamboo tube to stop Nezuko from biting the humans..
Why does Nezuko’s tube stay when she is no longer aggressive?
- Indeed, there comes a time in the history of Kimetsu no Yaiba where Nezuko feels no aggression towards humans.. Thus, he leaves aside the natural way of feeding and increasing the power that characterizes the demons to, instead, achieve both effects only while sleeping.
- Why then do you have to keep wearing the tube? Well, because after all he is still a demon and, at the most unexpected moment, impulses that go beyond his emotions can end up taking control of his actions.
- Moreover, it has been established that If at any time Nezuko were to bite a human, she would be immediately eliminated along with all those involved. in the fact of leaving it in parentheses compared to the usual relations with the demons, which amounts to eliminating them first.
- That’s to say, if Nezuko keeps her bamboo tube permanently in Kimetsu no Yaiba, it’s basically because it acts as an extra guarantee that at no time will she bite a human and, therefore, she will be able to continue living with her brother in search of being a human again as before.
Honestly, it just makes sense to see Nezuko with that bamboo tube at all times, in the end it’s like those dogs that have a devastating jaw: As much as we can have confidence in the character of the dog, as much he ultimately has impulses that go beyond our understanding and can only be limited by the use of a muzzle.
