Now if you think this makes me a dumb idiot for asking then fine, but I'm a bit unclear as to why he does. What episode does it get explained in? He's human isn't he? I'm not saying it's not explained but I didn't pick up on it.

It's just a character trait, it's not explained, because it doesn't need an explanation. It just is a thing.

Because he's the guy. Demon Slayer has a tendency to introduce concepts and have no explanations.

He just has it. It's a character trait. Like for example you have a good memory or a good handwriting, similarly tanjiro has a good sense of smell , zenistu has a good sense of hearing it's just basically a character trait which just comes up in any person. It's not explained. It's left upon the viewer to just understand

This answer may seem obvious but it has to be said. He has a great sense of smell because the writer wanted him to have it so that he can look cool. Come on bro, this is a shonen anime what do you expect?

That's not explained in the manga either, this manga/anime just have characters with special traits like that and unresolved mysteries, for example, what's up with the ghost appearances? like those 2 dead guys training with Tanjiro in the rock and Tanjiro's father which appeared as a ghost, none of that is explained in the manga either.

Because demon slayer is average show with bad writing ,there are many things like this which aren't explained in the show for ex why people don't know about demon despite the fact that they move freely. In show a demon literally picked a boy and took him in the house in front of his siblings.

It not unusual for people who has finally become demon slayer to have heightened senses or enhanced physical abilities . Eg - Zenitsu Agatsuma, Gyomei Himejima and Tengen Uzui have high hearing ability or Inosuke Hashibira has high high sense of touch or Kanao Tsuyuri has high sence of sight. Also other than tanjiro, even his master has Urokodaki sakonji has high sence of smell.

Usually its innate
In tanjiro case, there are two things can be noted, he is a coal burner (One of the theroies on causes of Hyperosmia is high inhalation of hydrocarbons) and the other is he the oldest son and only man of the house and probably hunts food for his family in mountains.

I don't think it ever was explained in the show. He just has it as a trait.

I have a theory after reading this, sonce he used to work with charcoals selling it and being close to it all the time, may have cleaned pretty much all the air that he's smelt since charcoal binds impurities, but since its fiction they just turned it up to 100, so when he smells some other things that arent clean he notices it right away.

Note: Im probably just talking out of my ass and making assumptions

He inhaled some demon particles when he was a child, so his nose is now level 300 and gives him perception buffs.

There isn’t a reason, its just how they decided for him to be. It makes sense, considering his sense of smell helped plenty through-out the series.

I prefer no explanation than bullshit explanation anytime. Tanjiro just happen to be genetically gifted. There's no reason to explain why someone is genetically gifted. Any attempt at explaining this innate skill would obviously result in explaining the unexplainable ans this would just be worse imo.

I think writing that a character just randomly has insane smell or hearing or whatever is just stupid, similar things happen later on as well.

Ikr like, whoever wrote our reality was really bad at writing. I mean, look at all the people who've been abducted by aliens, and yet, most people in the world don't believe they exist! If aliens clearly exist, then why is their existence so unexplained and not believed? Poor writing on God's part.

because it's shonen, in most shonen the mc has some kind of talent or trait that differentiate them from others. Even tho the talent make no fukin sense or has no reason most of the time. You will be used to it when you watch more.
