[ID: two anime screencaps. The first shows Muichirō Tokitō from Demon Slayer during a Taishō Secret segment, holding a cherry blossom rice cake with his mouth and looking down at it in slight surprise. On the left is Mitsuri with a plate of cherry blossom rice cakes, saying with a smile, “Here, Muichiro!”

The second shows Tetsuya Kuroko from Kuroko’s Basketball in a locker room, holding a lemon with his mouth and looking up at someone offscreen. End ID]

The way that Muichiro maintains his brother's cold and harsh demeanor actually reminds me a lot of the way that Shinobu adopts her sisters calm and serene demeanor after her death. Like, even if Muichiro doesn't realize it at first because of his amnesia, they both take on their siblings mannerisms to hold on to a piece of them now that they've lost everyone else in their family before joining the corps

[ID: a gif of Nezuko Kamado from the Swordsmith Village arc of Demon Slayer, shown from the waist up. She is standing in the sunlight and facing the viewer, eyes wide as if surprised, with wind blowing through her hair and clothes. Her muzzle is hanging in front of her right shoulder, and her kimono is stained with blood. The camera slowly and slightly zooms in. End ID]

Morning!

[ID: three gifs of Nezuko Kamado from the Swordsmith Village arc of Demon Slayer, showing her first time walking in the sunlight. Wind blows through her hair in the first image, and through her kimono and the grass around her feet in the second. The third image shows a front view of her face as she speaks with a gentle smile.

One of the adaptational changes I liked most in the anime version of Swordsmith Village's finale was showing Tanjiro basically having a panic attack when trying to shield Nezuko from the sun, while also being aware that Hantengu is still rampaging. The way they showcase this is hyperventilation.

In a series where control of breath is equal to control of the situation at hand, showing Tanjiro, a master of Total Concentration Constant hyperventilating is a cue. He has cracked, he has lost control of the situation, and this is what has broken him.

Here. What? What’s this? What’s this? Iguro-san, what’s this? Take them. Huh? For me? *nods* Whaaaaat? I’m so happy! I promise you, I’ll treasure them! No need to treasure them. No way. That would be such a waste. It’s fine. If they get ripped… I’ll give you a new pair.

[moonlightassassin]

[ID: ten gifs of Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer. Obanai hands Mitsuri a pair of green socks while he and his snake, Kaburamaru, look away. Mitsuri stares in surprise with one hand over her mouth. The snake slowly turns to look at her, and she grins and speaks to Obanai, who nods once. Mitsuri takes the socks and excitedly holds them up for a moment before speaking to Obanai again. He responds, and Mitsuri’s happy expression becomes concerned. She speaks again and looks down at the socks. Obanai turns to look at her while Kaburamaru looks back at him. Obanai speaks, and Mitsuri smiles brightly again and nods. End ID]

they did the head thing again 😂

[moonlightassassin]

[ID: a gif from the Swordsmith Village arc of Demon Slayer, set during the day. It shows Nezuko without her muzzle giving Tanjirō a piggyback ride on the left, facing Muichirō and Kotetsu (the former with an arm around the latter’s shoulders for support) in the center; and Genya in the foreground on the right with his back to the viewer, facing the others. Muichirō tilts his head to his right and asks, “Anyway, what’s going on with Nezuko?” Nezuko likewise tilts her head to the side, first with a curious expression and then smiling. End ID]

#haganezuka be like, "violence is ALWAYS the answer"

[moonlightassassin]

[ID: three gifs of Hotaru Haganezuka from the Swordsmith Village arc of Demon Slayer. In the first image, he aggressively pokes Tanjirō’s cheek while Kotetsu (who lifts a hand in concern), Tecchikawahara, and another swordsmith watch. In the second image, Muichirō speaks with an urgent expression to someone offscreen; then Haganezuka appears from the left without his mask, showing blood on his face and his missing left eye, and strangles Muichirō while Kanamori tries to restrain the swordsmith. In the third image, Haganezuka holds Kotetsu by the ankles and wildly spins him around in circles. End ID]

Also I think one of my favorite details of this season is how uncoordinated Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya are as a team. We know Tanjiro and Nezuko have each other's backs (and there's the fun detail that they'll often ignore everything else on the battlefield if one is in danger) and we saw in Entertainmen District that Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke have a beautiful synergy when fighting together, not just because they've fought together before, but because they also train together! Genya, though, seems to be used to fighting on his own, and though (imo) he adapts quickly to having other fighters on his side, he, Tan, and Nez still kind of stumble around each other because they're not used to each others fighting styles. It's not even the partial demonic traits that off balance the Kamado siblings lmao, its the gun.

[wynsnerdyrambles]

So true! I hadn't even noticed the slight lack of coordination.

[corgiteatime]

I love that in the middle of everything happening to them, Tanjiro takes a second mid-battle to point out Nezuko to Genya and say, "Ok, yes, she's a demon but she's my sister, she's cool, please don't kill her."

Genya, who is also a demon at that moment, is just "Uh sure ok?" Because there's approximately 100 other things he's busy with right then. What's one more thing to keep track of? He hadn't even met Nezuko until that fight broke out.

This is one of my favorite fanfic lines I've ever written and I'm so glad my muse finally granted me the ability to give this interaction (and the one below it) visual form. It drives me crazy that Fanbook #2 came out just after I finished posting the fic, and it had additional details on the other crows so now the fic is not totally canon compliant, but I still love "The Legend of Ukogi." Noble little brave bird, I love you, and despite his complaining, so does Zenitsu.

[moonlightassassin]

[ID: two pen drawings of Zenitsu Agatsuma and his sparrow, Chuntarō, from Demon Slayer. In the first image, Zenitsu is lying on his stomach in a field of flowers and wearing a flower crown; Chuntarō is standing on the ground in front of him, looking up at him. Zenitsu grins brightly at the sparrow and points at his flower crown with one hand, saying, “It’s a crown for me… and a throne for you!”

The second image is a three-panel comic. Chuntarō stands on Zenitsu’s head and sings. The sparrow and Zenitsu look at each other, and then the bird turns his head away and says, “Chun!” while Zenitsu smiles. End ID]
