How Tanjiro met some of his friends:
Giyu Tomika (ぎゆ 冨岡):
Tanjiro meets Giyu after his family was killed and his sister was turned into a demon. Giyu tries to kill Nezuko because she is a demon. Tanjiro starts begging Giyu to not kill Nezuko. Giyu becomes angry because Tanjiro turns his back to Giyu multiple times, which gives him a chance to kill Nezuko. Tanjiro fights for Nezuko and Nezuko gets knocked out by Giyu.
Zenitsu Agatsuma (我妻善逸):
In the beginning, Tanjiro was annoyed with Zenitsu because the first time they met was when Zenitsu was pestering a girl to marry him, even though she clearly did not want to. This led to Tanjiro solving the situation by pulling him away from the girl. Zenitsu was still trying to deny the fact that the girl did not like him.
Inosuke Hashibira (嘴平伊之助):
Despite both being Demon Slayers, and being in a tight situation to execute a demon, Inosuke is instead perplexed by Tanjiro’s strength and even tries fighting him. Even after the demon was killed, Inosuke would not let up. Tanjiro is occasionally annoyed with his instant fighting but he is very patient with Hasibira.
Shinobou Kocho (忍 コチョ):
Shinobu helps Tanjiro improve his abilities. She initially doesn’t understand why he wants to protect his demon sister. She does grow to care for Tanjiro.
Kanao Tsuyuri (かなおつゆり):
When Tsuyuri saw Tanjiro at the final selection, they did not have any interaction, as she stayed quiet at the end of the ceremony. When they met again, she got into a physical interaction with him as he tries to protect his sister from getting killed, Tanjiro gets knocked out by her in the process of protecting Nezuko.
Genya Shinazugawa (不死川玄弥):
When they first met, Tanjiro, in a warning gesture, gripped Genya’s arm to the point where it could have broken, as a punishment for handling Kanata Ubuyashiki right after the final selection.
Demon Slayer (鬼滅の刃):
Demon Slayer has a total of 2 seasons, 34 episodes and 2 movies. It has 23 manga volumes and over 200 chapters. It was made on the 15th of February 2016.
I really liked Demon Slayer because it’s a supernatural anime. It was really nice to watch. Some of it was a little sad but overall it was a 9/10.
