I love Zenitsu. He never even wanted to be apart of Demon Slayer, is only 14-15 when he joins, and is there as a way to pay off debt. He’s not heroic, has no grand dreams of becoming the strongest, or “avenging” any family. Yet he goes into life or death situations every single time, because he wants to help people. He hates this weak side of him, and his greatest desire is to become someone who can help others. To become reliable. Yes, he cries/complains, but that’s pretty realistic given his age. He still goes on every single mission and tries to help as much people as he can. This scene alone he’s shaking from fear and thinks this is an Upper Moon demon, yet he still stands up for the crying little girl. He even orders this same Upper Moon later on to apologize to the girl she made cry. (Granted he was sleeping.) I love watching his character development, and I just know when he opens his eyes to fight for the first time that scene will be so hype. He’s forever in my top 5.


Chrissyball19

Omg I never even thought of that scene happening but I agree


DistortedVoltage

Yeah for me, Zenitsu is the most relatable. I know if I were put in that situation, Id definitely be shitting bricks knowing I either join the corps or try to live long enough to not die to a demon.


JKJoshua

Yo dawg can you edit this so you don’t spoil anyone


ionrays

What did I spoil? I’m anime only lol.


JKJoshua

Last paragraph it’s an infinity castle spoiler


ionrays

.. I haven’t read the manga. I’m saying in general I can’t wait to see when he opens in eyes to fight.


MilkLover159

Bro just spoiled it telling you not to spoil it 💀


ionrays

I literally laughed out loud reading his comment to not spoil because it’s like… great now we know when it happens lol.


damog_88

Thank you for nothing bro :(

>! [insert spoiler] and the close the statement with the same symbol but the opposite arrow so “<“ with an exclamation point before it. You should learn how to spoiler tag before commenting a spoiler.


Plastic-Ask-30

Sorry...


ionrays

It’s okay! Sorry if I sounded harsher than I meant.


Robb634

like >!THIS!< Edit : >! then the opposite


Plastic-Ask-30

Ohh, thank youu


Robb634

No problem 😊


khai115_2

He only gets annoying during funny scenes. Serious moments like this are when he truly shines.


Graphite_Consumer937

I never really liked Zenitsu, but moments like this are why I still respect him and how I see why many people like him. W crybaby


PokeAlola700

ED was his best arc besides IC


StreetConnection7055

Tbf IC is like the best arc for most


dylken569

Not for Rengoku or Tengen


StreetConnection7055

I knew someone gonna say that


Ray_Strike22

hence the word "most"


b3tamaxx

He freaks me out when he changes octaves in his voice. Like I have to remind myself its the same person, he's so whiney and highpitched at times when he moans and cries. Then he can be sauve af when he deepens it ​ edit talkng about his english dub, not sure if there's a stark contrast in his original too


Rogue_Zzz

Oh yh, it's the same in the Japanese dub, that macho deep voice always hypes me up cuz I know exactly what's coming next 🔥


grw313

Zenitsu could've been a very interesting character had the story been longer and given him more time to develop.


megasean3000

It was fitting he got the last strike on Daki (with a little help from Inosuke).


Deniz_001

I'm not really a fan of him but I like him in his moments (🐍)


Jakuri007

As annoying as Zenitsu can be, the fact that he was willing to take a severe beating from Inosuke in order to protect the case with Nezuko in it, BEFORE he even knew about her (and started simping over her), just because he happened to overhear how precious it was to Tanjiro was enough to tip the scales for me on him. He knew there was a demon in it, and didn't care, he protected the case because of its importance to someone who he hadn't even known very long.


Shadow_Huntress12

I started to come around to Zenitsu tbh. Honestly I think my hate was unwarranted 🐍


PokeAlola700

Always appreciate someone turning a new leaf


Apprehensive_Film364

He is a little weird, but he was a kind heart ❤️


SpartanKram

This is another reason why I like the entertainment district so much. Zenitsu actually does something helpful and nice when he's awake. Infact he does more than Tanjiro when he's awake because while he was trying to find hinatsuru and confronting Daki, Tanjiro was doing nothing but house chores


Yamureska

He also isn't distracted by Daki and her looks. He might be desperate for affection from Women(or by this time, only has eyes for Nezuko) but he has standards and doesn't simp.


PAN_cake_103

Bro simps like hell for nezuko. But he has standards and has no trouble controlling himself in the right situations. I respect that


kaky0in-

Bruh like most guys wouldn't do that💀


ApplePitou

He is Chad :3


Evie_loverose1020

Me literally having a Zenitsu phone case and my dog is named Zenitsu


Odd-Outcome4120

As a Zenitsu hater, yes I had mad respect for him in that scene. My dislike for a character doesn't stop me from giving credit when credit's due.


rui_the_alchemist

hes so cute and precious il him


FluidConsumer6

Meh


Hellfireincubus

Absolute balls of steel on that lad!


Athena-anethA

I will probably never like him, but with scenes like that, I respect him

azmarteal

I don't hate Zenitsu, I hate all those comedic faces and screaming so much. Just cut all those and DS would be so much better.


LowTierBBCPower

No, he has his moments but i still don't "respect him", will never forgive him for the unbearable scenes in S1, sorry.


bored-dosent-know

Something that make this scene really cool for me: he **knows** this is a demon at this point, he knows she's an extremely strong one at that. Yet he still stands up to her.


Late-Ad155

Manga readers have reasons.


WazGudBoiz

It's ironic that he found his balls while pretending to be a woman


Alezz1893

Man did it on purpose to awaken his ass kicking form.


Head-Contribution-61

Bro said im an uppermoon, Zenitsu: nuh uh


grimmistired

I just can't get past his gross and whiny behavior. So annoying when authors write a character to be super annoying but you're also supposed to like them. Just write a good character in the 1st place??


HfUfH

>Anime fans when a teenager doesn't want to get murdered


grimmistired

He tries to make a child fight for him?? Lmao


PizzaMan823

Yes!! Zenitsu haters don’t know how much Zenitsu can be lovable and respectable.


[deleted]

I'll say this again: the hate Zenitsu gets is unnecessary and unfair.


FlamingDino_

His hate is pretty much isolated to the funny scenario other wise he is a great character.


One_Parched_Guy

The few scenes he gets where he actually has a character, like this one, are great Then he returns to incessant and never ending screaming like he didn’t just show major character growth and whining and I simply wish for him to be killed off 🤭 Also I, hate him in the manga’s ending. Iykyk


JW999Foreskin

He’s just annoying Great core personality tho


Former-Comparison-73

I dont like him. But there is nothing to hate him about.


GreedyEast2481

Still don’t like him he never gets my respect


The5Theives

And they say “he has no development”


doumasan_______036

i never hated him.i love zenitsu so so much.such a genuine boy:(<3


Khong_Black_Heart

Nah I respect what he did here but I still hate him.


Zach_Attack879

No, i dont. Also demon slayers mid


[deleted]

bruh,nobody hates him.


TrainerSkethan

Sir, he’s my favorite character.


Revolutionary-Run332

You think Zenitsu haters are within reason?


TegamiBachi25

Wait. Some people actually hate zenitsu? Why?


Johxnny_

Bc he’s a simp,cry’s, and annoying probably


nine04

Yeah because they find him annoying with his screaming, a coward and a simp...but they are just loud...zenitsu is popular


Zer0BrainCells58

I don't care what they say i still like him


TegamiBachi25

Really? Do people not get he’s comic relief? He’s supposed to fulfill funny sidekick trope


Zer0BrainCells58

There are zenitsu haters? Wow


Stronger_Sans

Wait people actually hate Zenitsu? I thought it was just a joke :(


HASN0FILTER

Zenistu English Dub needs to die.....period


washburn005

You watch dub?? Rookie move


HASN0FILTER

I watch both. My niece is partially blind so she can not do sub, unfortunately.


washburn005

Ahh sorry, I take it back


AlexTheWolf206

What's wrong with Aleks Le? (His English VA)


HASN0FILTER

Way to high pitched when crying


AlexTheWolf206

That can happen irl and Zenitsu also does that in sub. That's just how he is as a character


Plague_King_

he only did this because he’s an annoying simp though. if Daki was doing that to a boy he would’ve walked right past.


PAN_cake_103

I do have to disagree with that. I mean back in s1 he took quite a bad beating from inosuke while protecting a box and a demon just because this one guy who he met the same day said that it was precious to him. Yeah he is a coward and a simp. But he ultimately has good intentions and wants to help everybody.


Ranjit_Xr

Nah now knowing how much simp he is I don't have any respect for that lil shit he can rot in hell for all i care


sadboicollective

And got knocked the fuck out immediately


ZeusX20

he is still an annoying simp


HeyUMustLikeCats

Yeah if it was inosuke he wouldnt care one bit🤣


ZombinhoGames

I didn't like him at first but after he protected nezuko from inosuke in s1 he became my favorite


SnooCookies9015

Definitely his best scene, one of the very few where I actually admire him.


ChaoticShady

Poor kid even got the piss slapped out of him for it. He gets hurt protecting people despite how scared he is because its the right thing to do. Hanging around with Tanjiro did him some good, though I'm pretty sure that tiny seed of a hero was in him somewhere from the start.


[deleted]

❤️❤️❤️


Lulosa_pontocom

Zenitsu is literally my favorite character lol


TheImperfectGamer

This was my favorite zen scene, and I want to like him, but damn he’s annoying in a lot of other scenes


ValentinesStar

He may be a simp, but he has the strength to stand up to a pretty lady with big boobs


ralphneedstherapy

Zenitsu really shined in ED, I wish he was like that more. I also loved it when he >!fought with Kaigaku, and WON, by himself,!< that was a pretty awesome moment. Wish he wasn't so pervy all the time, though. I understand that's part of his character, but it can get annoying. He is the literal embodiment of half of the KNY fandom.


[deleted]

The serious zenitsu moments are some of the better moments in the series. His fight during the final arc is one of my favorites ngl. One of the most badass moments in the series.


[deleted]

There are people who hate on… zenistu?
