Akaza:all women are queen
Douma:IF SHE BREATHES SHES A THOOOOOOOOOT
I'M CRYING
@Burnt Potatoes i like Douma more than Akaza as well as his backstory
@@benramsey5518 I think Akaza has a better backstory but I love Doma's personality more.
@@RipsharkTV i like Akaza and i think he had a good backstory that gave him a good conclusion to his character but for me Douma was so creepy and psychotic and that made for a good villain to both love and hate.
Douma: IF IT’S A SHE, I EAT!!!
akaza never killed women and children.... he ate men.... warriors who fought him....
Bakunawa BenHierro he ate male children 👶
@@sarahobaseki5608 probably if the kid was snotty and bratty enough
Bakunawa BenHierro 👍🏾
@Burnt Potatoes well in my neighborhood and city kids are being used in gangs and mafia if this kids kill you they dont go to jail cause they under age and if you hurt them you go to jail... i kinda understand akaza he was never treated as a kid committing crimes in his childhood... then he went and become good.. then they take his love one away from him...
Akaza respect wahmen
it's cool how Akaza's attacks are based on
his past memories:
•Compass Needle resembles Koyuki's hairpin.
•His attack names are based on fireworks from where he promised to protect Koyuki.
•He's extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat because of the Soryu martial arts style, which his master, Keizo taught him.
And he never erased his criminal marks from trying to save his father
Wdym his attacks are based on fireworks? Akaza has the shockwave demon art.. his attacks are based on shockwaves
@@lol-ki5cp what does wdym mean?
@@lol-ki5cp the names of fireworks, sorry.
Facts
What I find more tragic about Akaza, he never wanted to become a demon, Muzan gave him a fate worse than death, and kept him alive
Well once muzan stabbed his hand into akaza’s face to give him blood, akaza didn’t care anymore because he lost all the precious stuff to him so that doesn’t mean that he didn’t want to become a demon
@@lol-ki5cp Yeah, but you don't need to willingly accept muzan's blood to become a demon. It just makes the process easier if you don't resist.
He thought he was just going to die, that's why he didn't care anymore. Dude didn't even know demons existed.
@@user-tu2dh5ro7i dude didn't wanna exist his damn self
@@pillowfullospiders3934 And rightfully so. The dude just lost all his loved ones in one day over the cowardliness of others, if he didn't run into Muzan he probably would have hung himself or just waited to be excuted because he just couldn't give a fuck anymore.
Akaza had lost his life purposes twice as hakuji so he might losing hope of the world at that point
Even from that panels after he revenged, he looked like an empty vessel. But instead, he met muzan at that point of life
"Demons are tragic creatures!"
- Tanjirou Kamado
Excellent quote
All though Akaza was pretty nice and he had a good backstory, he still killed people and Rengoku.
@@lyn2046 Demons don't really remember their memories as a human until they're dying, so it really isn't human Akaza's fault for killing Rengoku.
Except Douma, he's a douche
@@hasanbassari7364 I would say the only demon that surpasses Douma in terms of douchiness is Muzan

👁️👄👁️ wait u did, how did u read my back story? Bruh
this is actually brilliant xD
I like how Akaza doesn't hate weaklings for being weak but because they are prone to underhanded tactics to compensate for their weakness like poisons or backstabs.
Its a small yet important detail that separates him from other similar villains that despise weakness.
I absolutely agree with you. Akaza is such an amazing character. His viewpoint in life is almost paralleled to Rengoku and Giyuu. That arc revolves around the theme of Weak and Strong
But in that lies the irony of akaza, he the one, who does see himself as superior , is the one who retreats against humans , who are severly hurt. That is why tanjiro hurt his ego, he realized that he was the weak one at that moment.
@@Mansory811 yeah. It’s why Tanjiro reminded him of his former master, because his former master was the only man who ever defeated him.
Another angle to it might be that he hates weaklings because he considers himself weak for not being able to protect his father, sensei, and wife.
@@benl.4577 That also makes sense.
Akaza: Wanted his loved ones with him
Rui: Wanted a family
Kokushibo: Wanted to feel like he was good enough
Kyogai: Wanted to feel appreciated
Hand Demon: Wanted his brother with him
Gyutaro: Wanted his sister to live a good life
Now i feel sad
gyutaro and daki’s backstory definitely ranks second in the saddest upper moon backstory category just behind akaza (imo)
Douma: wanted some snaccs
And my man Douma here being an asshole for the sake of it
And here's douma, what a Chad
Funny all of them has to have tragic backstory 😭
How humans become demons: Get hurt by other humans
How humans become demon slayers: Get hurt by demons

underrated comment
What a sentences
Very true
Irony
Poetic justice 👏🏾
What makes his backstory sad is that unlike the other demons, Akaza was given a second chance at life just have it taken away
Akaza : can i have a bright future?
Fate : yes...
*another tragic event occurred
Fate : but actually no
@@Mirfan-wt4sp Fate's a giant bitch.

And it was all done by humans.
Everytime i read Akaza's story, i start crying. Even if he killed my favorite hashira, i just can't hate him. His story felt so real to me 😭
After I Watched the Movie
I didn't know if I was going to continue the series
@@evanroldan9566 oh that’s because you’re a toxic stupid rengoku fan boy.. no one cares what you say.. I’ve already seen like 10 of your comments talking about this.. just shut up, no one takes you seriously

Muzan:(Moon walks)
Missed the part where Akaza's attacks are all based on the fireworks where he promised to marry koyuki :(
Oh my god I didnt notice this either...
Omg wat a fake fan he should quit anime we only need people who say every little detail
Another interesting fact about how deep Akaza's love towards Koyuki, the Symbol of the Technique Deployment Compass is the same as Koyuki's Hairpin.
@@garciaforbes2013 lol
Yeah, Tanjiro tought it was a compass, but it was a snowflake hairpin, probably a present one or either of Koyuki parents gave her because of her name origins (yuki = snow).
I like how the wiki pointed out that even though Akaza lost his memories, he always held on to a piece of Koyuki.
His hair is pink like her Kimono. As well his Snow Flake technique is similar too the hair decoration that Koyuki wore when she was alive. As well as her name has a Kanji for snow. He never stopped loving her.
Facts. He really loved and cherished Koyuki
Of course, Koyuki was his last hope for a new and happy life until fate’s cruel hands snatched that away from Akaza and he finally snapped
Koyuki’s name means “beloved snow”
All I needed to hear from Akaza was “The medicine for Dad,” and all was immediately forgiven. Dude instantly became a favorite of mine. I had always like his design and fighting style, but the fact he has such a compelling backstory, I absolutely love his character.
And then there Is Doma
@@ricktam2841 lmao, no wonder why akaza hates him
@@benl.4577 doma probably reminds him that he's weak
Akaza: never hurt a woman
Douma: yO tHiS tHoT lOoKiNg LiKe a sNaCc
LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Akaza: all womens are queen!
Douma: IF SHE BREATHES SHE'S A THOOOOTTT
It was all fun and games until Shinobu gave him the worst case of food poisoning. It sucks that she had to sacrifice herself to give Kanao and Inosuke the chance to send him to hell.
@@hanadunn7297 But in the end she really ended up saying: " *Go fuck yourself in hell, shithead* " And quote
@@ceoofhamburgermeat6712 no she didn't lol, that wasn't what she said. After Douma died he said he liked Shinobu (sexually) right to her face and then he said something like "do you want to go to hell with me?" She says "Yeah after you" with a smile on her face. Idk if she actually did lol as that would be so dumb, but it's funny regardless.
Don't think I will ever be mentally prepared for when Akaza's backstory gets animated. Gonna be crying for days. I'm just glad that he got to reunite with his loved ones after he kills himself, he has suffered enough.
Even daki
I also think that to
he's still suffering tho :( bc he's in hell with his family sadly i wish he found peace in the afterlife
Don't think I'm ready for the upper moon one fight aftermath
He shouldn't become a demon
Another important thing about akaza's obsession with strength was that he hated weaklings the most in the world. This was inspired from the memories of his life because according to him: only the weak are the ones who use unfair means to win(poisoning well instead of a head on challenge) The strong fight fair and square. So he acknowledged that Tanjiro is strong and his victory was legitimate because he decapitated him. If he pushed forward at this point, it would be an unfair fight.
@Sleepy Nightingale I think what he tried to say is Akaza was trying to convince himself that he lost even tho he didnt. In manga he says something like "fight is over, they decapitate you". But in the end yes Akaza killed himself like Kokushibo.
@Sleepy Nightingale technically tanjiro did win lol. Even Akaza admitted that he lost when he was decapitated by Tanjiro technique. And because Akaza hold on into his principle, he admitted his lost and kill himself (cause his regeneration is absolutely insane if he wants to keep fighting). So idk what the hell are you on right now.
@Sleepy Nightingale didn't tanjiro literally cut his head off? Tanjiro won akaza just cheated(even he knows he cheated) and admits tanjiro won fair and square
@@pillowfullospiders3934 not really cheated because it an ability that demons have(regeneration)
@@knightofonyx871 only technically but in reality if akaza didnt regain his memories then tanjiro would be kicking stones with his family in the heaven,same goes for tomioka with sabito and tiomioka's sister
10:01 notice that akaza kept saying his past was worthless but the moment he remembered koyuki he couldn't say it
Power of love
When I was reading that chapter I totally forgot he killed rengoku
That is a testament to great writing. I'd say both were dealt shitty hands. The circumstances made both a tragedy.
yeah, his story turned people's opinion about him
Yeh, like it swooped my memory of akaza killing rengoku
Exactly. I couldn't hate him again after that.
Where did you read it?
Some details for extra feels:
1. Even in his changed demon form, Akaja keeps the thief brands which might mean that he still clung to his past even with no memory
2. Akaja's blood demon art looks like a snowflake. Koyuki, his wife's name, means snow and she uses snowflake-shaped accessories and clothing patterns.
3. Koyuki's spirit's last words are something like "Welcome home, dear" with "dear" being something you'd only call your husband. Since Koyuki died before they could actually get married, this is the first (and last) time she called him that.
Lol are you Korean? You kept using Akaja instead of Akaza, which is how Korean people pronounce it
I totally missed on point 2!! Does in manga tell that?
Aka *ja*
4. Akaza and Koyuki went to hell together. Koyuki rly loved him so she follows him. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@Kimun888 I think it states that in some kind of author note, or those little shorts, so it's not too surprising you missed it
“In the end it was nothing but words, I’m never there when people need me, I couldn’t protect a single thing, it’s just a pathetic, comical, uninteresting story.”
For some reason, those words cut deeper than any others in the manga for me, Akaza’s character is literally the embodiment of tragedy.
What everyone expected going into Akaza’s arc: Sweet revenge for Rengoku
What everyone got: tears for Akaza instead
10/10 writing right here
Rengoku Never Told Tanjiro To Avenge Him, He Only Encouraged Him

@@jondonom Bro you should make the "manga readers" part hidden, just in case someone accidentally read that and didn't get to that chapter in the manga yet.
I hated how Akaza hated weak people until I saw the reason he hate weak people is because they don't fight fair and took everything away from him. And now I like how Gotouge made Akaza.
Same. His reason why he's disgusted to weaklings is amazing and reasonable. Oftentimes, those weak people don't fight fair and cheat their way like poisoning the well. Akaza really had a tragic backstory
It’s crazy how he compares Akaza to Gaara when they share the same voice actors as well, Akira Ishida.

Akaza as a Demon completely despises and hates weaklings, but the people he loved the most and that he was ready to die for were both extremely weak
That part about Akaza's story touches my heart the most and always makes me want to tear up
I think he hates weak people is because the people responsible for the deaths of bis sensei and fiance were weak. They couldnt beat them in a fight so they chose to poison the well which is very cowardly and proves tlheir weakness. I dont think he ever really thought of his dad or koyuki as weak. Thats just my interpretation tho yours is just as valid :)
@@ekoko362 What you said is indeed the reason why he hates weaklings, he said that himself while dying, he said he hates weaklings because they poison wells and then basically what you wrote
But he thought his dad and Koyuki were weak too when he was alive, and even said that weak people should never apologize for their weakness
I'm not saying that he hates weaklings because of them though, just that his affection towards the weak changed into the deepest hatred as he turned into a demon
i remember him saying sick people shouldn't apologize for being sick and i didnt see sick and weak as the same thing. i mean the sick people he cared for were never fighters or anything, and he said that he knows if they werent sick they would do more and its not their fault they cant care for themselves. It could be that since koyukis and his dads (and sensei but hes not weak) deaths were the source of his pain it just turned into hatred towards the weak. but i think with weak people he means cowards, like mentally weak people (or at least cowardice and devious methods like poisoning wells are what he learned to connect to physical weakness, aside from sickness).
@@VaquOfficial yes i remember this part as well. He hated weak people because they use unfair means to win. This is also an important reason why he chose death over killing Tanjiro and Giyu . He realised that by decapitating him, Tanjiro had already won fairly in the fight without deception. Hence pushing forward in the fight was meaningless.
However, Hakuji's father and Koyuki would never do anything remotely underhanded, even if they had the ability to. They were so kind and selfless, and losing them took a part of Hakuji with them. Akaza's hatred of the weak is because the weak don't fight fair, they don't take defeat in stride, they poison innocent girls, they don't honor truces signed by their fathers.
Oh man, if this ever gets animated, i know i'm going to cry rivers.
(I still see comments about the movie, and no people, the movie was already announced when this comment was made, I’ll cry when the movie is out in BR for sure, but I’m talking about Akaza’s past)
Oh it will, be prepared...
*PREPARE YOUR EYEBALLS PEOPLE!!*
Me to
Nah mine is seas of tears
even if it's not ud still cry
Demon Slayer is not only badass but it also has emotional moments that makes me proud to be alive
OMNIPOTENCE totally agree!
That is definitely the sign of a great series
I legit cried every arc. That's how good it is.
It's made me cry multiple times.
Just like Naruto...
One more thing about akaza is that he didn't choose to become demon like others. Muzan FORCED him into one. He could've just end his own life after he killed those swordmen and get to escape from this unfair world but he was turned into a demon. Even he could do the same to rengoku and force him into demon, he didn't. He respect his opponents and their choices. Akaza is a real man.
Akaza: Only eats men, not women
Douma: THIS SHIT BUSSING
Akaza: * Sad boy backstory *
Douma: I like eating women just because.
they're nutritious
SHINOBU!! 😭
if she breathes, she has nutrients
And that's why he's a better villain to hate. He was still delusional to the end even after being a product of a misguided upbringing
I think these two complement each other
one mangaged to regain his humanity in the end while the other never had it
Akaza is the most likeable demon .
He refused to kill women even though he was a demon and even in his demon form he still kept fighting to get stronger only to get his father(who was already dead) that medicine , splendid warrior !
You can also see why he absolutely hated upper moon 2, because he killed and ate predominantly females.
So he didnt kill women? But he still killed kids and the sons of those women.
@@malcohmm.m7212 also he want to become stronger, because in firework scene with koyuki, akaza promise to becomr stronger than anyone else and to protect her for his entire life,
Thats why when akaza died, he said to koyuki forgive him as he cant protect her
Douma: BECAUSE IF SHE BREATHES, SHE'S A THOOOOOOTT
Yes he’s a king
I think the saddest part is that, he didn't even want to become a demon he could have passed on with his wife but muzan took advantage of his losses to turn him into his puppet.
I also love the contrast between Akaza and Douma. Douma being the ultimate woman defiler - while Akaza never killed/ate a woman.
Seeing Akaza punch Douma's upper head clean off was satisfying too lol
Both his father and his master follow him to hell as well, you can see their silhouettes when the hellfire consumes Akaza and Koyuki.
Also, when Akaza states that he can't stand weak people, he actually means people who resort to horrible actions to get what they want, like the rival dojo poisoning the well.
True if you read the manga
Like fighting dirty.
This is one of the best part of the manga like how they literlly follow them to hell SMH unbelievable
Wait so Akaza and koyuki went to hell or only akaza his father and the master?
@@AlexRodriguez-yi4vr all of them went with Akaza.
I still don’t know how the author managed to make me despise a character more then anything and then proceed to make that same character my favorite out of the series

In a way, Kyojuro Rengoku represented everything Akaza wanted to be: a human strong enough to protect the weak, especially those he cared about. But while Kyojuro was always able to protect the lives of those close to him, Akaza couldn't save anyone that mattered to him. Kyojuro died fulfilling his goals while Akaza lived on as a failure who wanted to die.

-Was a nice guy
-Had empathy even as a demon
-Killed himself because he understood what he did was wrong
-Was a complete legend
There's something admirable about guys like Akaza. People who chase becoming stronger, chase that method of self improvement, for the needs of others is just something I really find impressive.
upper moon 1: i have the best back story
akaza: hold my waifu
What the F??? For Me Akaza's backstory is selfless and he's consumed by hatred due to other people. On the other Hand, Kokushibou just an egoitic person who just fear of death and didn't have any intention to teach the younger generation his own techniques, different than his younger brother who teach The Kamado's Bloodline. Akaza is way more stronger than Kokushibou, due to his ability.

I wouldn't say that Kokushibo has best story, even though i like him very much. His story is complicated yet simple, shows the human 'typical' nature, trying to be powerful, fear of death. And that is why he's a great character too, like Akaza.
Mark my words! Akaza will get so much hate from anime watchers. Probably more than poor Sanemi

Akaza actually showed concern that Rengoku is going to die. He wanted to force Akaza to become a demon, if he doesn't, he will die but out of Akaza's expectation, Rengoku chose to die a human than a demon, which ultimately killed him
A tortured soul trapped in an endless cycle of grief. You can't help but feel for Akaza.
He never had the chance to settle with his life, even when he was happy they destroyed his happiness. In the end he gave up on life, and even became the demon. In the end he died as a human, and was able to rest in piece. Such a well written character. His is my favorite in the KnY. I even want to get tattoo in his honor. I m glad he is getting recognition from fans

Ah, fuck! That made me cry. I can't remember the last time I cried when a character died, and I watched all of Sweet Home last week. Goddamn, Akaza just might be my favorite part of Demon Slayer, which is a story that already has so much to love.
His entrance in Mugen Train was just so... it was love at first sight. The dynamic between him and Rengoku Kyojuro made the movie for me. I really am sorry that both characters had to die in the end. I would have loved a redemption arch that centered around their relationship, but I respect the author's original direction as well. The tragedy was beautiful in its agony, and I have so much respect for the overall story of Demon Slayer.
I absolutely agree with you
Seeing Akaza for the first time kept me excited, and I was sick with COVID at the time, so I could relate to someone who used to care for the ill, never complaining about how hard it gets.
I like how most of the demons aren't portrayed as just these heartless victimizers, but also as victims themselves. Victims of their tragic life circumstances, as well as victims of Muzan himself. Victims of his manipulation and demon creation abilities, he took away their humanity, memories, and forced them to be loyal to him under threat of death. Even though the demons have killed scores of people, deep down they're victims as well
I absolutely agree with you

You mean top 3
@@lol-ki5cp top 2 for me but I'm just tryna be fair👀
@@ibia.2582 well actually top 1 for me
*Akaza was such a sweet and loving Character before he became a demon and in the afterlife. He never complained when being punished because of stealing medicine for his dad since he wanted to help his father. He didn't think twice about taking care of Sweet Koyuki, he was always loyal to his sensei, and he worked so hard and felt right at home at the Dojo. And he never wanted to become a demon, he always tried to become stronger. And has always and will always be in love with Koyuki. And held no grudges against Tanjiro, and lets himself die so he can see his loved ones.*
*And that is why I believe and finally someone else, that Akaza/Hakuji is the best villain.*
Akaza is easily the best written villain in the series and one of my favourite anime/manga villains
Nah definitely not the best written, That would go to Daki/Gyutaro.
The sad thing is even if Tanjiro and the demon slayers managed to defeat and kill Muzan, humans will still continue to act like demons and cause pain to fellow humans. The cycle will continue and never end.

FACTS
Akaza was a genuinely nice and kind-hearted person, but circumstances of his life fucked him up and made him into what he is today.
It’s not his fault that he’s a demon and that muzan blocked off his memories
Nah he just an idiot. Why did he have to rob people if he could just get a job?
@@zakatayas8719 Oh I'm sure that the government would hire an 11 year old kid that has criminal tattoos on his hands. That's sounds 100% real. Have some common sense, idiot🤦😒. And next time, use that brain of yours ok? 😑☺️☺️

@@eigenrauflinog9069 Well that should be enough evidence that this guy above ( Zakatayas) is an idiot. Thank you for the explanation stranger. :)👍
Ima sub because I’ve watched so many of your demon slayer videos the past few days. Thank you 🙏🏻
This is why this man has so many subscribe he puts in his hard work and the right words to say great video ANIMIEUPROAR
Some of you may miss the following details : There’s a reason why the writer wants Rengoku to fight Akaza. Rengoku sacrificed his life but protect Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and all the passengers of the train but Akaza couldn’t protect anyone he cared. Also, all of Akaza’s movement comes from the firework show that he watched with Koyuki. The tattoo on his body is the same as the tattoo on him when he was human before (those tattoo means that Akaza is a criminal). The symbol of the Technique development Compass is the same as Koyuki’s hairpin. Even Akaza forgot everything when he was a human but he didn’t forgot loving Koyuki. The reason why Akaza hates weak people is because weak people will only use some cheap ways to win just like those 67 sword man did. Also, he actually hates upper moon 6 which use poison (this is not mentioned in the manga, and he definitely doesn’t know why he hates that). Some of you may also think that Tanjiro shouldn’t shout at Akaza before cutting his head but actually if he didn’t do so, Akaza may not kill himself because Tanjiro defeated him without launching a sneak attack which Akaza hates.
You are a genius
"Some of you may also think that Tanjiro shouldn’t shout at Akaza before cutting his head but actually if he didn’t do so' - Thats a great detail that i missed....makes sense
Akaza: yet in the end of the day it's just a pathetic, comical, uninteresting story.
Me: guess I'll cry
MEN
LMAO
Such a sad story
When i got to this character arc I absolutely cried. This video made me cry as well as I remembered it.
"He defeated himself" what a badass
He killed him self. Tanjiro defeated him.
Anime Onlys ain't ready for Season 2🔥🔥🔥
It's gonna be insane! I hope we don't have to wait long
AnimeUproar I'm with you on that
Because there's still no announcement about season 2. Thats why they aren't ready lol
Plz ufotable take ur time with akaza vs rengoku it could be the best animated fight ever
I think season 2 wont reach that far. I predict it will end until after the blacksmith village arc
Ever since he killed Rengoku I had a love/hate relationship with him. His fighting style is the coolest in my opinion but he still killed Rengoku.
Prohn Remember. Rengoku died because he has strong battle spirit. Akaza kept asking Rengoku to become a demon because it will be a waste if a person like Rengoku dies.
Rengoku sacrificed his life but protect everyone successfully. Akaza couldn’t protect anyone he cared
same, i miss rengoku so much

Hakuji was too strong for them. Akaza Goat
Demon slayer villains are best possible way to write a villain, showing how some people use their talent and desires in evil way just because they do not have someone or lose someone who can help them use them for good and turning into a demon is a way of showing the dark place where all humans resort to after being left all alone.

dude I've been watching this channel for a year now and your the one who get me to read the manga thanks because now I know how to read
He really was the best demon out there imo!!
His backstory , his personality and his obsession with power were all so very well written!!!
Dude was literally going to enter immortal territory if he didn't kill himself.
he can still be killed by Muzan and the sun
@@rapizer3427 and Poison + beheading
He already survived beheading so there is no way he's gonna die by poison

Douma: Hold my fan
I think his parents fucked him up
Muzan: Hee hee
Doums didn't bone evil until he turned into a demon. He just couldn't feel emotions as a human
I really like all of the villain arks but I got to agree with you this one was amazing
If you notice, Koyuki has a clip in her hair with 3 looking snowflakes. They are the same design as Akaza’s destruction technique 😭
"Behind every great Villain, there is a great back story.." 💔 TRUTH!
Edited: Thank you for the likes! Much appreciated 💙
Except hisoka and the joker ... Both clowns ... Huh
it becomes generic, every writer could easily do that, it doesn't good

@@asdfgh3997ily Preach!
Dr.Doofenshmirtz
people are all talking about akaza's backstory, but they're forgetting upper demon moon 6's backstory.
that backstory was cruel man.
Yeah i know the best sibling demons
still not as good as Azaka's. His backstory made me cry a river of tears
Imo until akaza i was confident that gyutaro and ume's backstory cant be topped in terms of tragedy.
What struck me the most is when gyutaro started mocking the samurai responsible for ume's near death state - he basically insinuated that his sister means the world to him because she's the only good thing he has in his life, and she was taken away by someone who literally has anything and everything. Goes to show how unfair and cruel life can be.
Ofc gotoge had to one-up themselves with akaza's backstory which somehow managed to upstage um6's tragedy but despite this, the siblings' tragedy still holds a lot of emotional weight regardless if it's compared with akaza or not.
Man, if season 2’s adapts the entertainment district arc, that’s gonna be an insane first half of the season.
You guys think akaza will show up at the ending of a movie?
Flawed good man.
If only the Demon Slayer Corps got him first instead of Muzan, he would turn into a strong Hashira
Why would he want to do that though? Before Muzan, he’s never met a demon before.
no, i think he gonna' kill himself bcs his feels there's no reason to live like when his father died
@@bicillenium4019 This late but probably because he might try to stop other people from loosing their families like him.
He has no motivation to live anymore at that point
To everyone that’s saying “he had no purpose to live anymore” the guy is just implying that Akaza would be an incredibly strong Demon Slayer (and hashira)
Fans Hatin On the Villain: *"HAHA SERVES YOU RIGHT! GO TO HELL!"*
The Backstory: *_aRe YoU sUrE aBoUt ThAt??_*

Doma is my most hated 12 Kizuki and Akaza is one of fave 12 Kizuki 'coz of his tragic backstory and I feel sorry for him but Doma still my hated 12 Kizuki in Kimetsu no Yaiba
What do you expect about the demon that don't know the truth emotion and always hypocrite ?
That's Doma
Well, if Doma is hypocrite then I don't know what kind of scary when the Pillars battle against Muzan.
@@quocbaole1251 well Doma is Doma and I can already expected that he is a cold-blooded demon and thankfully Kanao and Inosuke did kill Doma
Douma has the iq and eq of an imbicile
Killed Shinobu and her sister and tried to do some flismy shit to Shinobu in the afterlife
Let me ask you again Douma.
Do you really think she will do what the fuck you want her to do even after doing that shit to her?
Well shit the only positive thing about Douma is the fact that hes less creepy than UM1 who Made me wet my pants because of his design
I liked Douma because he gave off a similar vibe to Rengoku.
I love the fact that he went through all of this and his head we was getting his dads medicine showing he cares more then anybody about his dad like he fought everybody in those 1000s of years that hes lived thinking they were stopping him from helping his dad
I know.. most people hate Akaza for killing Rengoku.. but when his backstory will be animated.. then they all will see Akaza as most favourite and respectable demon❤️
This reminds me of the fact that Douma teased Akaza in the manga that he himself is the upper moon 2 even tho Akaza became a demon way earlier than he did, yet didnt surpass the ranking prob bc he refused to eat women (since demons gets stronger by the amount of people they eat)
He probably would have topped Douma if he ate women. God knows how hellishly powerful he'd be if he didn't refrain from that.
Yup
_The only good demon is dead demon, so let make them good_ 😈 *except Nezuko, protect this innocent girl no matter what* 😤
Tamayo has been pretty good, but yes, protect Nezuko at all costs!
@@AnimeUproar So heres my theory I believe that Muzan isnt the final boss of the series, Nezuko is. I know it's crazy but it's possible, I think that Tanjiro will be the one to kill Muzan but before the final strike Muzan will give Nezuko alot of his blood and turn her into the most powerful demon in history. Which having the pillars and Tanjiro already exhausted from their fight against Muzan and the Upper Moons Tanjiro will have to stand up once more and fight the one person he never wanted to harm his sister in a battle to the death.
What do you think? I know it sounds crazy
@@boneruler2338 No.
Well, that's unironically basically what Gyiuu said while stomping Rui right before stopping Shinobu from killing Nezuko... like... 2 seconds later.
@@boneruler2338 biggest plot twist in manga/anime history,
I would love to see it but I can't imagine it.
Like the Joker said. "All it takes is one bad day..."
Also, my favorite villain was Meruem. He started off an absolute monster but it took a frail girl and the Head of the Hunter Association to show him how the frailest creatures struggle to survive. If he didn't have his guards, he was going to die. The absolute selfless depth of humanity changed him. A man willing to die to protect humanity from a monster. A frail, blind girl who he was unable to defeat and wasn't afraid to die since she lived so close to death every day.
I like his character development as well. Born a monster, but died a very human death.
Having only seen the anime ( I recently found the manga online on their website). Rui is my favorite villain. This is such a great series. I can't wait to be able to see the movie and the next season.
