The black blade represents the Sun and is surrounded by prejudice and misconceptions, as historically every demon slayer who held it lived a short life. This could mean that Tanjirou is destined to break the pattern and set a new legend for black Nichirin blades in the Demon Slayer universe.
Moreover, any Nichirin sword can become bright red regardless of the blade's original color. However, the blade can only stay bright red for a certain amount of time before returning to normal.
When Tanjiro first got his Nichirin Sword on Demon Slayer, and it changed color to match the personality of its user like all Nichirin weapons do, many fans were surprised that Tanjiro's katana turned black. Here was a gentle and self-sacrificing orphan who only picked up the sword in order to save people from demons.
Black blades are seen as a rarity, as demon slayers who wield them are doomed to die young. No wielder of a black sword has ever become a Hashira, either. However, this is all superstition. This sword's meaning is no longer shrouded in mystery.
Black is the most mysterious color of all the blades, and is held by the main character, Tanjiro. It is a rare blade and represents the sun; it also holds a theory that the demon slayers who own this sword are not to live a long life.
Gyomei's Gray Flail and Axe
Undoubtedly the strongest of all of the Hashira in terms of pure strength and power, Gyomei uses weapons that are also very unique. While they are still considered Nichirin blades for all intents and purposes, Gyomei's weapons are a flail and an axe.
Tanjiro certainly did a lot of good with his Water Breathing techniques, but his ability to use Sun Breathing both gives him an edge in battle and allows him to stand out among the incredibly powerful Hashira he fights alongside.
Tanjiro's most notable attribute is his ability to empathize with anyone, even demons, which often makes him hesitate before delivering the final blow.
As Tanjiro pushed past the threshold of pain during this fight, he almost managed to kill Daki. The fuming rage that Tanjiro felt from seeing Daki destroy human lives helped him push past his limits while also making him bleed through his eyes in anger, resulting in his eye colors changing to bloodshot red.
Two massive Nichirin cleavers connected by a chain that is amber in color. A standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana that is white in color.
Since Kiriya Ubuyashiki announced the disbanding of the organization, Tanjiro doesn't get the chance to become a Hashira. The series also features an extended finale set in modern-day Japan.
Tanjiro is considered to be Muzan's main nemesis throughout the series. After murdering the Kamado family, he was personally sought out by Tanjiro in Asakusa, Tokyo when the Demon Slayer recognized his scent from the scene of the murder.
In the far chapters of the Demon Slayer manga, Tanjiro is actually turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji. Muzan does this to continue his demon legacy and live in this world even after being dead. He chooses Tanjiro over everyone else as he considers him the perfect one to carry on his legacy.
Not one to back off from a fight nor is he one to overlook injustice; he has fought and slain several demons, but his battle with Daki pushed him over the edge, and with unbridled rage boiling within him, Tanjiro's eyes became bloody.
Tanjiro's olfactory abilities are so advanced that he's able to use his nose to interpret his surroundings to a staggering degree. During his training with Sakonji, he demonstrates the ability to smell traps, and when he defeats the Hand Demon, he's able to actually smell its emotions.
7/10 Fourth Form: Striking Tide
The very first Water Breathing technique shown by Tanjiro during the Final Examination arc is the fourth form. After taking a moment to focus on his breathing technique, Tanjiro deftly rotates his body in a full circle and unleashes two strong horizontal attacks.
Later it is revealed that he married fellow slayer Kanao Tsuyuri, In the Modern World, Tanjiro and Kano had Great-great-great grandsons named: Sumihiko Kamado and Kanata Kamado.
The Thirteenth Form of the Sun Breathing Style is unique in the sense that it doesn't really have a name of its own. Rather, it's a combination of all the twelve forms present in this style, used in succession to maximize their power. This move was devised by Tanjiro solely to defeat Muzan.
It is possible for a swordsman to use more than one Breathing Style technique at a time, allowing the user to take advantage of the advantageous aspects of both techniques. Tanjiro Kamado, for example, can use both the Water Breathing and Sun Breathing styles simultaneously.
In the Anime
These earrings that Tanjiro wears have an extensive history. They were originally worn by the legendary Demon Slayer Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the originator of the breathing styles that so pervade the Corps. Tanjiro's ancestor was a good friend of Yoriichi and arguably was one of his only true friends.
The Purple Nichirin sword was used by the Upper-Moon One, Kokushibo. This sword is symbolic of the Moon Breathing style and is definitely one of the strongest within the series. Being a demon, Kokushibo's sword also has eyes attached to it.
His gung ho style of combat paired with his move sets could be the reason why the mangaka chose to give Inosuke two blades . Fans also believe that he received his swords by winning them in a fighting contest against another demon slayer who had entered the mountain he lived in.
Nichirin swords are a signature in Demon Slayer with their fascinating color-changing nature. This color doesn't just look good; it imbues power too. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba shows off a slew of Nichirin katanas.
Kokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving tranquility and mystery that compliments his position as Upper Rank One.
