One of the highlights of Demon Slayer is the fierce battle scenes where emotions and fierce fighting intertwine. Not only the battles, but also the emotions and bonds between the characters are depicted, resulting in one famous scene after another that gives viewers deep empathy. This time, we will look back on the **"Most impressive battle scenes where emotions and fierce fighting intertwine"** selected by Osamu Manga and explore the appeal of the work!
1. Tanjiro and Nezuko vs Rui (Natagumo Mountain Arc)
This scene is truly one of the most memorable moments in the battles of Demon Slayer. Rui is a demon who uses spider threads to control her family, and is a contrast to the brotherly love between Tanjiro and Nezuko. In a hopeless situation, the scene where Tanjiro activates Hinokami Kagura and Nezuko comes to her rescue with her blood demon art "Bakuketsu" is the moment when the bond between siblings is most strongly depicted.
This battle, in which the effects of fire and blood were fused together to brilliantly defeat Rui's attack, was depicted with the highest level of animation and direction in the entire anime.
This is what Osamu Manga thought! This scene shows the bond between Tanjiro and Nezuko to the fullest, and it's moving to see the strong love between siblings depicted in the midst of a battle. The visual beauty is also wonderful, and it's a famous scene that you'll want to watch over and over again.
2. Rengoku Kyojuro vs Akaza (Mugen Train Arc)
The battle between Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, and Akaza, Upper Rank Three, which took place at the climax of the movie "Mugen Train Arc," is one of the most moving battles in the series. Akaza invites Rengoku to become a demon, but he fights to the end, protecting his pride as a human.
The exchange between Rengoku's secret flame breathing technique "Rengoku" and Akaza's regenerative ability is spectacular. Rengoku, who fulfilled his duties until the very end and told Tanjiro and the others to "burn your heart," was deeply moving and respectful.
Osamu Manga thought this! This battle encapsulated Rengoku's strength and conviction, and his words "burn your heart" left a deep impression on not only Tanjiro and the others, but also on the viewers. I think this is a famous scene that cannot be watched without crying.
3. Tanjiro & Zenitsu & Inosuke vs Gyutaro & Daki (Entertainment Arc)
The battle depicted in the climax of the Entertainment Arc, in which Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke join forces to defeat Upper Rank Six Gyutaro and Daki, is a famous battle filled with overwhelming visuals and emotions. Daki and Gyutaro are a powerful duo as brother and sister demons, and Tanjiro and the others are tormented by their coordinated attacks.
In particular, the scene where Zenitsu awakens from his sleep and uses the Thunder Breathing Technique "First Form: Thunder Flash" and the moment when Tanjiro unleashes a fatal blow with Hinokami Kagura are spectacular. The scene where Tanjiro finally defeats Daki and Inosuke defeats Gyutaro was an emotional battle that showed the bond and trust between the friends.
Osamu Manga Thoughts! This battle made me feel the growth of Tanjiro and his friends, and the brother and sister's fight against the demon was a very deep scene that contrasted with their bond. Zenitsu's "Thunder Flash" was especially cool and gave me goosebumps!
4. Tokito Muichiro vs Enmu (Swordsmith Village Arc)
This battle, in which the Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro fights while remembering his past, is an emotional scene that strongly depicts his growth. As Muichiro regains his lost memories, he remembers his family and his mission as a swordsman, and displays overwhelming power during battle.
The techniques he unleashes using the Mist Breathing technique are as beautiful as dancing, and the battle scenes combine the delicacy and power that only anime can offer. I was moved by the sight of Muichiro fighting while facing his past.
Osamu Manga thought this! Muichiro's quiet but strong character really stood out in this battle. The moment he regained his past self was moving, and the beauty of his swordsmanship was also magnificent.
5. Tanjiro vs. Hand Demon (Final Selection)
The battle in the final selection that Tanjiro challenged to join the Demon Slayer Corps made us feel his growth and determination. The giant hand demon is a demon that once killed many of Tanjiro's master Urokodaki's disciples, and is a special enemy for Tanjiro.
In this battle, Tanjiro finally succeeds in defeating the Hand Demon by making full use of the Water Breathing technique he has developed through training. Tanjiro's emotions of pity and anger towards the Hand Demon are deeply depicted, and it is a touching scene that emphasizes his kindness and determination.
Osamu Manga thought so! This scene, in which Tanjiro fights a demon for the first time seriously and resolves to protect his family, was very moving as his kindness and strength are united. Because of his deep connection with the Hand Demon, this battle shows his growth.
6. Tomioka Giyu vs Rui (Natagumo Mountain Arc)
The overwhelming power of the Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu shone in the battle against the Lower Rank Five Rui. As Tanjiro fights desperately but is cornered by Rui, Giyu appears and his overwhelming strength shines in the scene where he neutralizes all of Rui's attacks with his Water Breathing, Eleventh Form, "Calm."
The sight of Giyuu instantly defeating the enemy that Tanjiro had fought so hard against in an instant showed the difference in their power as pillars, and it was a moment that had a big impact on Tanjiro.
Osamu Manga thought this! Giyuu's "calm" was just too cool! Despite his overwhelming strength, his calm and unwavering attitude made him seem dignified as a pillar, and I'm sure it had a big impact on Tanjiro.
7. Tanjiro & Giyuu Tomioka vs Muzan (Final Battle)
The climax of the series, the final battle with Kibutsuji Muzan, is a fierce battle in which all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps fight for their lives. In order to face Muzan's overwhelming power, Tanjiro and Giyuu take the lead, and many of their comrades cooperate to fight.
In particular, the scene where Tanjiro uses Hinokami Kagura to corner Muzan, and the moment when all the pillars join forces to seal Muzan's regeneration ability were moving and breathtaking. This battle strongly depicts Tanjiro's determination and the sacrifices of his comrades.
Osamu Manga thought so! The final battle with Muzan was the culmination of the entire series. I was moved by the sight of Tanjiro using Hinokami Kagura to fight back.
Summary
The battle scenes in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are not just battles, but also depict the growth and bonds of the characters. The many famous scenes selected by Osamu Manga, where emotions and fierce battles intersect, strongly reflect the emotional drama hidden in the battle, and they all remain deeply in the hearts of viewers.
