As fans eagerly await the release of the anime adaptation for the “Infinity Fortress” arc in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, a new theory has emerged online, raising the question: what would happen if Kamado Nezuko, instead of her brother Tanjiro, became a Demon Slayer?
This theory suggests that Nezuko possesses the potential to become a remarkable Demon Slayer. Like Tanjiro, she exhibits a strong sense of responsibility and a fierce determination to protect her family. If properly trained, Nezuko could develop a unique fighting style, possibly linked to the moon or the stars, considering her inherent connection with fire and her natural resistance to becoming a demon.
The theory also emphasizes that Nezuko would have to train rigorously to harness her physical and mental abilities, transforming her into a formidable warrior.
Could Nezuko surpass Tanjiro if she became a Demon Slayer?
If Nezuko were to become a Demon Slayer, it would be challenging for her to surpass Tanjiro.
One of Tanjiro’s most notable abilities is his heightened sense of smell. This innate skill is not a result of training but rather a natural talent. His exceptional olfactory abilities allow him to track scents and distinguish the emotions of others, making him an effective fighter against demons. This is one area where Nezuko might struggle to compete.
In reality, it would be a remarkable dynamic if both siblings became Demon Slayers, fighting side by side rather than facing the tragic circumstances often depicted in the main storyline.
To visualize Nezuko in the role of a Demon Slayer, fans have even utilized AI to create striking images of a powerful Nezuko wielding a sword, dressed in the traditional Demon Slayer uniform. These images further fuel the discussion about her potential and the different directions the story could take.
While this remains a theory, it does spark engaging discussions about the capabilities of characters in Demon Slayer and opens up new narrative possibilities that fans can imagine.
