Tanjiro screams as he beheads himself

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Demon Slayer would definitely not be the same without its lovable and positive main character Tanjiro Kamado. In spite of his dark and difficult past riddled with loss and grief, he faces every challenge with optimism and persistent effort. He has lost family members, witnessed deaths before his eyes, and gone through physical and mental obstacles beyond belief, yet his spirit is never fully broken.

Before Demon Slayer, Gotouge had created other manga series and one of their most popular was titled Ka Gari Gari. This manga would become the biggest inspiration for Tanjiro Kamado's character, featuring an early illustration that looks shockingly similar to the hero. Interestingly, the character's look was much darker and more serious looking in the initial drawings.

In Katayama's words, Demon Slayer could only excel with "a brighter, more normal character" who would resonate with audiences more. X user, @the16thhokagae posted these illustrations of how Tanjiro might have wound up looking, providing a stark contrast with his canon optimistic and peppy appearance. One of the images shows the young hero drawing a Nichirin blade out of its holder and staring ahead with a threatening facial expression.

Tanjiro Is Optimistic Almost to a Fault, Despite His tragic Circumstances Tanjiro's Upbeat and Positive Nature Inspires Fans and Characters in the Series Alike Close It is hard to imagine that the grave and almost terrifying character in these images could have been Demon Slayer's main character. The physical appearance of the boy does share some similarities with Tanjiro's, however.
