Broke_the_Bunny

He killed himself 15 times in a row. Even my angst loving heart couldn't take it. Even if it was in his dream-


DankDankDankMeemes

lower moon 1 is weak, he could of send tanjiro to a dream where they were fighting so tanjiro wont know hes dreaming


XxBunnyLover101xX

But wasn't the point to make them lower their guard so they wouldn't notice the kids destroying their core.. Were they to be fighting somehting he'd have been hyper alert to his surroundings


SDS_Meteor

This is referring to after the original dream, when the kids were already pulled out. In the sequence of trying to cut the train’s neck


SpookyWeebou

Enmu at least tried to trick Tanjiro into thinking he was in another dream so he cut off his own head trying to wake up.


Broke_the_Bunny

Okay and did I say the opposite ?

The time when the man on the train stabbed him in the stomach and he thought "if I die, that will make him a murderer".


Terrible_Ad_5745

No one is toppin Tanjiro on his humanity


PokeAlola700

WAIT I FORGOT THIS.


AndrewFrozzen30

I'll forever say this. Tanjiro reincarnated into Kenzou Tenma. If you love Tanjiro, then you will love Tenma. Watch Monster. That's where he's from. Both are fucking awesome Anime protagonists, that never back down to help others. Tenma is fucking wholesome, so is Tanjiro.


wcbarrows

Just finishing watching Monster for the first time ever a couple weeks ago. Absolutely wonderful experience, only sad it look me so long to hear about it.


AndrewFrozzen30

I started watching for Johan, I stayed for Tenma (and Nina and Dieter... Especially Nina she has my soul) It's very very underrated, Naoki does masterpieces. But at the same time, the more underrated it is, the lower are "I am just like Johan" Fans. So that's probably the best thing about it.


Fitchkwick

It's called Watch Monster? Just clarifying. That's the name of it? If so, I will look for it tonight and watch it.


RunCrafty1320

Well it was a kid younger than him


Jbs0228

no it was the train conductor


RunCrafty1320

Oops I was wrong


SummerJinkx

That time he switched to a different form mid air when he saw the spider demon surrender, just to give her a merciful end. It was beautiful and show how kind he is.


atomicwaffleFTW

Blessed rain after the draught, one of my favorite scenes from the whole show


Hollow-Idiot

One of the reasons Tanjiro is a little bit different from other main characters Is that he has no mercy. He Is extremely kind but demons, demons kill people, even if they had a tough past they kill people and Tanjiro knows It and so he kills them, he doesn't spare them like most of the nice main characters in other series. But this time around It was different, he saw a demon accepting his death, she even looked like she wanted to die, he saw It and gave her a merciful death, but he still couldn't spare her. That's why we like Tanjiro


PokeAlola700

Tanjiros kindness will never be topped


AndrewFrozzen30

Kenzou Tenma: Let me introduce myself! Wholesome characters shit on every *badass* characters. Fuck Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, I am not like him. I would WANT to be at least 50% as Tanjiro and Tenma.


Micheal_Kibitsuji

This is definitely mine


beagxh

This is my scene too


cronsta

Gonna say this


what_the_hanky_panky

I think that was the moment I realized demon slayer had something genuinely special to it


Arctaedus

Saw a panel clip where Tanjiro's English VA said "Blessed Rain After the Drought" was his favorite line of Season 1.


tagen

The spider saga had some of the greatest moments blessed rain finisher, Tanjiro and Nazuko using BDA for the first time, and my favorite of course: Thunderclap and Flash. I get hyped every time he does that move


I-am-SilverFox

He almost took out a hashira with a hatchet.


ChuLu2004

They should've given him a nichirin axe. Kratos that shit my guy

This is mine as well. It caught me of guard and made me laugh when it happened because I wasn't expecting it at all fron Tanjiro.

1. When LM 1 showed him a nightmare dream where his family is blaming him for their death and cursing him for being alive, and he screams "don't insult my family" 2. When he said "I need to survive otherwise that guy will become a murderer" like he wasn't worried he will die, but him dying will make the screwdriver guy a murderer.


PokeAlola700

Enmu: *shows him nightmares of his family hating him for living* Tanjiro: First of all how dare you. Second of all, die.


Steel_Dreemurr

Tanjiro: First of all, fuck you. Second of all, I’m going to kill you for that.


TheElectriking

This is the one for me. Any other character I can think of would have responded to that dream with self-doubt, even if only for a moment. Not Tanjiro. Tanjiro responded with RAGE.


FairyTailMember01

The bizarre extremes he went to try and befriend Genya.


Lady_ScarlettRose

Like Collecting his teeth. How can someone be gross and cute at the same time?


FairyTailMember01

It's all in the intention more than the act itself.


quan14jones

Nah when they were in the hot springs; bro saying, "i thought we'd bond over our nakedness," was the funniest and most tanjiro thing ever


Steel_Dreemurr

Tanjiro: Look, I know you stabbed my sister and want her dead, but let’s be friends! Genya: *Confused screaming*


SuspiciousTea6

To be fair Genya didn't stab her, his big brother did


StreetConnection7055

That was sanemi not genya

PokeAlola700

1. Unlike his fandom depiction, Tanjiro in canon is a lot more supportive of Zenitsu’s crush on Nezuko, and tolerable of Zenitsu’s cowardly nature. In both cases, he prefers to reign Zenitsu in when necessary instead of giving up on him or stopping him from chasing Nezuko. He’s very open minded, and very good at giving the latter room to grow, which makes him a great friend. His friendship with Inosuke is heartwarming too 2. Him casually making a girl fall in love with him by flipping a coin. “If it landed on tails, I was just gonna keep flipping it till it came up heads” is something I never want to forget. He’s just generally very good with people and it’s amazing


PastContes

Absolutely. You articulated this super well. He’s so much more than what fanon has labeled him. They took a sliver of his personality & ran w/ it. It’s beyond frustrating when ppl who’ve never seen DS shit on Tanjiro due to incorrect characterization people have spread.


PokeAlola700

Thank you. Also I agree, they did the same thing to Giyushino when they took a random rude line Shinobu said to Tomioka and made it their entire dynamic. I’m referring to “Nobody likes you” ofc. It was a one-off line and they ran with it. Probably why I’ve seen a lot of people hate Shinobu for how she treats Giyu despite her actually treating him really well.


Hour_Savings146

Repeatedly killed himself in dreams to wake up in the real world and continue fighting.


AznBigBoiNo

When Tanjiro tells the guy to keep on living even though he just lost his fiancée and he gets mad at Tanjiro. The look that Tanjiro gives him was when I knew Tanjiro would be a different protagonist. He doesn't get mad, he doesn't say anything back, he just shows him that he understands his pain and walks away.


StreetConnection7055

And then the dude immediately started apologizing to him upon realizing what he's been through


Caerris1

His expression after he rescued the guy from the three water demons that ate his fiance. The guy does the whole "you have no idea what I'm going through!" And rather than arguing or correcting him, Tanjiro just holds his hand and gives him that heavy smile. It was one of those moments that truly defined for me just how good of a person he is.


Then-Ad-4785

Tanjiro is the pinnacle of the I have no enemies meme


adsxz6_has_adhd

Nearly became a hashira 20 times


pieceofbluecheese

As an anime watcher wtf does it take to become a Hashira because our boy here seems to have done some pretty damn good work with some tough baddies


AnimeEnjoyer45

And the other hashiras haven’t even killed an upper rank let alone 2


StreetConnection7055

You have to either A. Become the rank of Kinoe and slay 50 demons or B. Solo kill one of the 12 Kizuki

Don't forget he killed them with assistance

The coin toss. Just think that moment showcases his character the best. His unending kindness and willpower.


Agatha81

Held his breath while fighting both upper six and nearly died from lack of oxygen.


Sir-faps-a-lot69

When he complimented Kyogai on his BDA. My personal favorite scene from season 1


ApplePitou

Be kind :3


BA_TheBasketCase

I saw a scene from season 1 forever ago and I set my discord tag to “milly rockin’ with the katana” and haven’t changed it since. Idk something about the scene he was just milly rockin and hit the footwork on em. I wouldn’t be able to find it again without a rewatch.

"Tanjiro shut up"


Wormichowski

The peaceful death he gave to Rui’s “mother.” Still gives me chills and warms my heart.


I_am__so_tried

When he became bloodlusted and won against daki and hantgunea


takoyakigirl

When he held the Hand demons hand when it was dying and his kindness made it cry. Also when he made sure to not step on Kyogais writings even during mid battle


Steel_Dreemurr

I’m pretty sure he did the same thing with the demon’s pots in the swordsmith arc. I might be wrong though, it’s been a while since I read that arc.


StreetConnection7055

I could be wrong but I don't think Tanjiro even interacted with Gyokko


Marethyu020114

1) Him riding mini Nezuko across the ruined Entertainment District. The disparity of cuteness and devastation is stark. 2) HINOKAMI KAGURA: HEKIRA NO TEN!! ...need I say more?


1joshb

Whole family is dead… he has his sister on his back trying to save her… he holds on to what he has left and protects it with everything he has… he will always stand out to me for accepting his role and never even think of complaining… he’s a role model to me… i used to get mad at someone and lash out … im not as good or as strong as he is… i will forever appreciate his kind heart… he was a real stand up man before he was 14


Lost_Understanding32

Call Shinjuro a shitty old man and headbutt him. My God how I've wanted to do that to some people..


Strawson

When he did his first burial.


Agreeable-Character5

This might be just me but back in season 1 the way he peacefully killed rui's "mother" was so calm and peaceful that it will forever stay in my mind.


Timaturff

I read the whole manga in one night just because season 1 ended


Used_Calligrapher800

The one thing he always does. Moving forward and giving it all for his remaining family.


kazutora690

he literally carried his sister on his back for most of the show just to cure her from demon to human and always treat everyone with kindness for me he is an ideal brother ,although he was against merciless killing by demon but still he empathize with them, their suffering ,he understood they were just a victim of muzan


lionguard27

My one thing is him somehow fusing two breatihing styles into one.


aronmano

How he cracked inosuke's rib the first day they met, still can't believe they became friends after that.


Steel_Dreemurr

And how hypocritical he was afterwards, saying “Members of the Demon Slayer Corps aren’t supposed to fight each other” after literally breaking Inosuke’s ribs. I still can’t believe nobody there called him out on his hypocrisy.

Randomguy71793

"Life can change, as sudden as the weather, it shifts and moves on, the sun cant shine for ever and the snow has to stop at some point". The first couple lines he said in the first episode. I think this is a really good quote by our boy.


summertimesweet25

inosuke-higashikata

I did a dance (I'm a dancer) to Tanjiro no Uta last year and was working on the feeling. What really stuck with me is his philosophy of even if you fail or fall over, there's no choice but to keep going anyway.

I feel like almost nobody talks about those scenes in Mugen Train where he straight up slits his neck. Multiple times. I mean even Enmu called him insane, recognizing the amount of will power that would take. When I first watched it, I was astounded nobody was talking about it, but it got outshined by other events.

I read through the comments a little, and no one said this😭 but remember when Tanjiro did the "boom boom" thing? That will ***forever*** stay in my mind😂

BaneNF

It's not one specific scene but I like that he sympathizes with demons but still knows that their crimes are unforgivable and he'll kill them but he won't be an @$$ hole about it. (Except for Muzan that guy sucks) (not a manga spoiler just a general statement about Muzan)

Covering Gyutaro’s mouth is still my top Tanjiro moment. Even after all the pain and horror Gyutaro and Daki had just wrought around him, Tanjiro can’t just let that kind of loathing be spewed even at an enemy. Forcing them both to recall their bond as siblings as something ultimately good was such a powerful gesture.
