This yellow bitch is ruining the whole anime for me. Everyone knows that the humor in Kimetsu is bad and childish and the other characters aren't funny either, etc. but Zenitsu and his screams and creepy behavior make me want to hurt someone XD This is a higher level of pathetic. The 'jokes' with the blacksmith are also the same in every season, but at least he is a side character. How do you approach Zenitsu's behavior? I can bear it better when reading the manga, but in the anime I'm fed up with it. This is honestly one of the worst written characters I know in anime.

btw. What anime do you know that have quite good serious scenes but are ruined by bad humor?

If your a manga reader than I’m sure your aware he literally has a wake up call at the end of the arc which makes him more cold. But still Zenitsu

He is a lolicon, and we know this since season 1
So it's not that unexpected of him to do that...

I think other characters are funny in many cases. Like Tomioka or in the latest ep Inosuke when he was trying to teach Nezuko his name.

I know that Zenitsu can be lame sometimes,
But I feel like people overreact when he does his usual behaviour.

And if you felt that he is annoying or stupid it’s pretty much by design.

And about the humour in general, I don’t think it’s bad at all. Characters like inouski and Mitsuri are actually funny most of the time.

Yeah he does go back to his over the top self after, I think it was good character development imo letting go of his grandpa.

Regardless I understand fully why you hate him, he’s annoying af.

I never once found zenitsu annoying. I mean I never understood the complain of loud anime characters like Zenitsu or Asta. I am watching an anime. I love over the top expression and some shouting so I don't find him unbearable at all.
Inosuke is the funniest character btw. Demon slayer isn't an anime that always makes me laugh like an actual comedy anime but Inosuke does put a smile on my face.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

I thought Zenitsu wasn't that annoying at all, it's just humor in this anime is quite dry overall.

btw. What anime do you know that have quite good serious scenes but are ruined by bad humor?

Hellsing Ultimate, I remember when Alucard and Father Andersen was about to face off, they were interrupted by Seras's unfunny humor scene. That anime shouldn't have had any humor scenes at all.

He might be annoying to you, but he is one of the best written characters in the show(which doesn't say much, but still). Rewatch episode 17 of S1 and you'll see. A lot of people seem to forget he acts this way because he was forced to risk his life killing demons because of debt, unlike the others he's not doing it because he wants to(until the next arc at least).

@Yosakusan No one forced Zenitsu to become a demon slayer. Yes, his master paid off his debts and trained him because he saw potential in him, but no one forces him to kill demons and join the organization. It was his decision because he didn't want to disappoint the master

Well you know you are right. To me he is a bit ripped off of Sanji from One Piece. I also dislike his scenes and tend to skip them

Him and Inousuke ruin the show for me, since their introduction. I can't take the show seriously for the dire state the corps is in with their dying head of the family and their outmatched/outnumbered odds against the demons. This Anime been mid since it came out, but it's structured to appeal to the masses, hence its immense success.

@Jollyne7 IMO I don't hate him but I don't like his character development in the manga. He deserved a better fight against Kaigaku (The most pathetic character in the series alongside Muzan, only good thing about Muzan is Toshihiko Seki and his design when he's not looking like Michael Jackson in S1). I believed that he should've gotten over his fears slowly and gradually over the series (the sleep mode is a cop out). But to be fair, you or your loved ones can be slaughtered by a demon as shown with half the cast's tragic backstory. So I can see why one would join the Demon Corps, so they can defend themselves and their loved ones.

Jojo Stardust Crusaders was already the worst part, but oml the humor makes me wanna die on the inside, a pity they keep doing Polnareff dirty in those scenes. That one scene with Advol and Joseph was the worst scene I've seen in an anime. Way to ruin a perfectly good character (Joseph), he sucks big time as an old geezer, oml.

I am not sure why people hate on Zenitsu. (I don’t need an explanation so haters stay away, positive people are only welcome 🫶) Maybe the humor is childish to some but I love it! Sometimes it’s needed and appreciated. His reaction to Nezuko calling him Inosuke GOT me so good. Can’t wait for the next episodes coming 🥰

Unfortunately, Zenitsu might be the worst element of the whole show, and since he is a part of the main gang, he gets a decent amount of screentime. At least there are many other characters who are better, or at least less annoying, than Zenitsu.

@BitChilly If I was to pick the most annoying and insufferable characters from KnY, then Zenitsu would come first, with Muichiro taking the second place, haha. Kanao would come third. :P

Zenitsu and Muichiro are two sides of one coin of an annoying character. It's just Zenitsu is a loud brat and Muichiro is a capm brat.

@Adnash Yup, did not like him at all during SSV Arc. I began to tolerate Zenitsu after Mount Natagumo and afterwards didn't really mind his loudness but Muichiro became almost unbearable with how bratty and at times obnoxious he is.

Wait Kanao as third? How come?

Zenitsu was a character I was holding out for the whole series. He’s the type of character that I wanted to like but just couldn’t quite bring myself too cause of how annoying he was. When I read the manga…at a certain point, I could finally be like,”That’s my boi! I was right to have faith in you! and I love him as a character now

Side note his annoyingness works perfectly in the KNY school manga

Zenitsu, this mother fucker is one of those anime characters that I hate with every fiber of my being, that blonde ear raping mother fucker almost made me drop this anime when I was watching it for the first time, I loved everything about S1 but the moment he appeared everything went to shit and I even ended up giving S1 a 6/10 because of him, otherwise I would have given it a 10/10 because I believe everything else was pretty good there.

I don't always hate that ear raping mother fucker though, I actually love him when he's sleeping since he becomes a badass so you can say I have a love/hate relationship with him, but dear god, when he's awake I FUCKING HATE HIM!

In short, Demon Slayer is a pretty damn good anime but it has some shit in it that degrades it a lot and that shit is Zenitsu, he even makes the boar guy look like a saint.

Inosuke is a much better loud funny character even if you dont like his humor either, at least it fits him while Zenitsu is kind of a bitch. His thunder breathing is cool though and I like it when he sleeps but it is such a weird gimmick to have that you actually behave like a normal human when you sleep. I guess the author is fine with having that kind of quirk in their verse but the breathing styles are all imaginary of course. Maybe ufotable will kill Zenitsu off in some of the many filler they are adding this season.
