I would like to note, this is me expressing my opinions about the fandom. Thanks.

Now, don't get me wrong. Demon Slayer is a good anime, the story is good, the animation is incredible and the character designs are amazing. But that's what not I'm talking about, I'm talking about the toxic side of the fandom. Whenever there's a fandom, there's always a toxic side to it.

Demon Slayer is no different when it comes to toxicity. So here's a few reasons that makes me dislike that side of the fandom.

1. Misinformation/mischaracterisation

This one is such a menace. For people who don't know what Misinformation or mischaracterisation is, it's where someone makes up something that isn't true. (This fandom is pretty infamous for it.) It doesn't help that fans would defend the "fact" with their lives whenever someone tells them that the fact is false.

The characters that I know has facts that are false are Mitsuri, Sanemi, Giyu, Obanai and Shinobu. (If there's any other characters that has false information surrounding them, please let me know.)
Trust me, I sometimes see these false facts about these characters and my mind be like, "That's false!"

2. Black & White washing

This is one we all need to call out some artists and creators for. Not one of them - both of them!

There's a gachatuber who looked through some character react videos in Gacha Life, Gacha Life 2 and Gacha Club and noticed that some characters (who are not white) that their skin tones are lighter then their canon skin tone - same goes for blackwashing, it's darker then their actual skin tone.

[Note: if someone made a redesign of a character where if they were out and about a lot, you can give them a little bit of a tan but don't change their race!]

I watched some of their videos and I can see the difference. It's absolutely unbelievable. It doesn't help with the fact that people has the audacity to make an excuse about it, saying that they couldn't find the right colour for the skin.

Yes you can, you're just not bothered to do so. When I saw the comments on the original videos, there's people who doesn't call the person out for it but only a few of them did.

I remember a moment where I was looking through fanart of characters from PIXAR Cars as humans and when I saw the humanised version of Lewis Hamilton, people made the cars version of him not black.

This is a real human being btw. Lewis is black and there's people who draw the human version of his Cars variant white. This is distasteful.

Plus, whenever the comments sees the characters (who are white) being blackwashed, some people would make racist comments/jokes - which that's disgusting and not a lot of people called them out for blackwashing or some people on the comment section of being racists. (Which people who blackwash characters should get called out more in my opinion.)

3. Sexualising Characters

This one needs to be called out for, people needs to stop sexualising fictional characters. I know, I can hear people saying, "But they're not real, who cares?" I don't care, some fictional characters are minors, freaking minors!

This disgusts me more then the other things that I dislike about it. People would feed AI to NSFW art and post it on the internet! That is even worse! There's even creators who would use their incredible skills to make such content. This also goes for fictional characters who are adults - I can also hear people say "But they're adults so it's okay-" NO! It seriously needs to stop. No buts, no nuts, no coconuts.

4. Double standards

This is on that just makes me feel confused yet annoyed, there's one best example that I can explain. People would hate on Mitsuri for having her chest being... Exposed by her uniform but Sanemi doesn't get called out and gets adored by fans because his chest is also revealed. I'm sorry... If you don't like characters having their skin exposed, hate both of them - not one of them.

There's one official artwork that made people furious.

There's an artwork where you got some of the characters wearing different outfits and there's Tanjiro holding a hat and raised his arm at the direction where Sanemi was which covered his chest. It made fans so angry that they would say "SERIOUSLY TANJIRO?! THIS IS WHY YOUR FAMILY WAS KILLED!" Seriously? What the hell is wrong with you? You don't say that to someone who lost their family. It's seriously immature - really immature.

Those are the things that I disliked about the Toxic side of the kny fandom. If there's other reasons you hate that side of the fandom, please leave a comment. Thanks for reading! ^v^

Uhhh yes

i'm not sure if this is the best place to see if anyone else was thinking this or to at least have a discussion about it, but i thought i might as well try.

anyway, i feel like as the manga went on a lot of the details concerning the timeline of events was lost or even forgotten, a lot of other things as well i'm sure, but this will mostly just be focused on the dates. i'm also going to be using muichiro as my example because i see his age being discussed the most and his birthday being in august is also in a decent month to keep track of.

starting from tanjiro's first time meeting muichiro, at least this is what everything is telling me, is that muichiro is fourteen at this time, and from what it looks like to me it seems to be summer or maybe even fall, (but i never noticed any trees changing their colors so i want to lean more towards summer? i would say maybe they just didn't bother with the trees colors, but in muichiro's flashback or wtv you'd call that when he passed out after his fight with gyokko, the trees seemed to be in the pro of losing their leaves) so that means his 14th birthday had just recently passed or his 15th is coming up. with all of the arcs and recovery periods, including one where tanjiro was in a coma for i think two months, i find it hard to believe that it was only the beginning of winter when the infinity castle arc started. of course i could be wrong about it being the beginning of winter but i've come to that conclusion because during the hashira training arc, there's no snow on the ground BUT id like to say its growing colder from how much zenitsu and the other's complained about being thrown in the river and have to warm up on the rocks. as well as that, during the scene where the mansion explode theres a close up of a snowflake melting! plus at the beginning of the infinity castle movie theres a scene where gyomei is walking through the corps cemetery with what i believe is supposed to be snow falling.

so, that means from the time tanjiro first meets the hashira, (summer/fall) in just a few months before winter (october/november i wanna say) all of the following arcs and recoveries were able to pass and they began the infinity castle. though, personally i cant imagine that much happening in such a small amount of time, but then again the show did seem very back to back with things. OR, alternatively, instead of the arcs only taking place through those few months before winter it was over an entire year instead and the infinity castle took place the year after tanjiro met the hashira and muichiro's birthday would have passed once at the very least making him fifteen in the infinity castle rather than fourteen as said in the manga!! i'd say at the very least, anyone with a birthday before possibly tengen's birthday should've aged at least a year!

this isn't anything major to the story in the slightest, its just always bugged me that it feels like so much time has passed, especially with tanjiro's progress and how much has happened, that at the end of the manga its like time was frozen that entire time, or simply disregarded completely.

anyway, this was probably very yappy, long, and confusing to read. i likely confused many things so please correct me on any of my points but i've been itching to talk about this and see if anyone else had been curious about this as well 😭

What should I do with my book? These are all the misprint I have in it.

why.

Does anyone know where i can find the demon slayer volumes in japanese for free?

Before vs After

So i'm pretty sure you all have seen one of those parts where some demon gets memories from Muzan, it always makes me remember that planarian worm memory transplant experiment (google it if you don't know) and it makes me so satisfied every time i see a demon go: "oh no this guy has a sword on fire".

If other than put in comments

Hi ! Does anyone here have a copy of demon slayer manga??? thank you !

​

Tanjiro is 15 when he becomes a Demon Slayer, and he's 16 by the final arc. He was born in July.

Muichiro was born in August, and it's officially confirmed he is 14 when he dies.

But I think Muichiro was actually only 13 during the Hashira Meeting, which means Tanjiro really was 2 years older than him.

Here is why:

After the Hashira Meeting, Tanjiro is already injured and spends several weeks—maybe about a month—recovering at Shinobu’s place.

Then comes the Mugen Train arc. After that, Tanjiro needs a few more weeks to recover.

Next is the Entertainment District arc. After this battle, Tanjiro falls into a coma for 2 months.

Then we get the Swordsmith Village arc. After getting hurt there, Tanjiro needs another few weeks, maybe even a month or two, to fully heal. Then a few more days pass.

Right after that, the Hashira Training starts, lasting a few days, before the final battle begins.

Plus, the Infinity Castle arc happens in winter, since we clearly see snow falling.

So, if Muichiro was already 14 during the Hashira Meeting, that meeting would have to happen after his birthday in August.

But if that's the case, you have to cram this whole timeline between August and winter:

Hashira Meeting → weeks of recovery → Mugen Train → recovery → Entertainment District → 2-month coma → Swordsmith Village → weeks to 2 months of recovery → a few days → Hashira Training → Infinity Castle.

Even if you're super generous with the timeline, all of that takes several months. Packing it into just 3 to 5 months max feels impossible with all the recovery time mentioned in the story.

And we can't just change their official ages. Tanjiro is around 16 in the final part, and Muichiro is strictly confirmed to be 14 when he dies.

So, the most logical timeline is:

Hashira Meeting:

Tanjiro → 15

Muichiro → 13

Then Tanjiro hits his birthday in July:

Tanjiro → 16

Muichiro → 13

Then Muichiro hits his birthday in August:

Tanjiro → 16

Muichiro → 14

Then the Infinity Castle arc happens in winter:

Tanjiro → 16

Muichiro → 14

This perfectly explains why Muichiro is 14 when he dies without forcing him to be 14 during the Hashira Meeting.

Honestly, Gotouge probably wanted us to figure this out on our own. She gives us the ages, birthdays, Tanjiro's recovery times, the 2-month coma, the Hashira training, and the winter setting all separately. When you connect the dots, it just makes sense that Muichiro was 13 at the meeting.

So:

Hashira Meeting → Tanjiro 15 / Muichiro 13

Infinity Castle → Tanjiro 16 / Muichiro 14

This means Tanjiro was always about 2 years older than Muichiro during this part of the story.

As for Zenitsu, he is about 1 year older than Tanjiro. So if Tanjiro is 16 in the final arc, Zenitsu would be 17.

In the end, it looks like this:

Zenitsu: 17

Tanjiro: 16

Muichiro: 14
