I dislike him for being the mister obvious. He is always commenting everything that we are seeing. Like I get it, the other people on the team are weird, go ahead.

His trait not combining well sucks too. He has the super audition, but is best when sleeping. If you force a lot he can detect positions with his eyes closed. His super audition and being a pervert? When someone is being massaged out loud and clear he can hear them, like everyone else. It would be better if he traded his trait with Tanjirou.

He just ruins the mood of any scene he's in, I want to like him but it's just too much. That being said he's the coolest character when he's locked in.

He doesn't have a real character arc and his sleeping mode is a crutch. He is not coming in clutch to save his teammates by his own action half the time, it is just incidental.

The pervert thing is kind of a non-issue given that he nor the series is sexually explicit, and he comes across more as a romantic-obsessed teenager, which seems to be the intention. Seriously, his dream with Nezuko during the Mugen Train arc is as chaste as can be, and at worst we get that scene of him getting his back broken by three girls, which is nothing serious. This doesn't make him not annoying, but he is not Mineta who outright sexually harasses the girls in his class and makes overt references to their bodies. The difference is night and day.

There's a video comparing him and Stark from Sousou No Frieren that has my thoughts on how he should have been written.

@DormantAdrenalin But that's technically not even him doing stuff..

oh, it's him alright (in case you are thinking that he has two personalities, because he doesn't)
he just becomes more focused and overtakes his fears while sleeping

I think the ratio of annoying to normal is just too skewed. I think his whining could be funny in small doses, but it’s just grating when it’s occurring so frequently. I’d think that’s most people’s issue with him. The one upside is that his fighting moments are more impactful when compared to the whiny ones I guess

Just he whines too much, and can be extremely annoying. But actually I find Inosuke (fuck you autocorrect!) also extremely annoying. And the chick with pink and green hair/eyes is visually nauseating to me; and Tanjiro actually is really stupid most of the time- everyone's so dumb in the show but it's so addictive I don't care.

He's just an annoying character period. Most of his character and personality traits are no good and sadly

Obviously because of his screaming and crying which bother many audiences, well personally I don't hate him.

Other than the crybaby stuff: did he do a single important thing in the whole story that wasn’t just mindlessly fighting?

he saved nezuko in season 1 when inosuke was going to kill her in that box and mind you the only thing he knew was it's a demon inside the box (so he did it for tanjiro), he saved a kid in that same episode, I can tell more but it's just going to be a waste of time.

Because he is an idiot! Hope he dies in the last movies, but because Demon slayer is an anime, all of the 3 main characters always survive. Note: This is not spoiler, just an assumption based on animes I have watched

@Kyubey89 I already know his outcome, and it will be the reason why I will score the last movie 1/10

No, this isn't my signature.

idc abt his crying, hes just annoying. but tbh i dont hate him, i just dont feel any particular way when hes on screen and sometimes actually roll my eyes when hes on the screen. hes overdramatic. yes, thats what i'd call it actually. attention seeking drama king. and i don't like those kinda people irl so it kinda reflects it in him ig...

The thing with him is that contrasting to the mostly serious tone of demon slayer, he’s bubbly and cowardly in a funnier way. But what annoys me about him is that he only fights properly when he passes out and they don’t develop his character at all to show any sort of improvement in his abilities. But overall he’s a decent character but it just depends on what each person prefers in a character like him especially in a show like demon slayer

Poorly written character (but Tbf all characters in kny are poorly written), he's annoying, he yells a lot for no reason, he's a bit of an idiot (hasn't said anything smart in the series), he tries too hard to be funny but ends up being cringe and annoying, the way how he finds it necessary to moan nezuko’s name is weird and annoying, and he cries a lot. He's just an annoying character overall.

Idk how people can say hes not a perv when he likes getting his back broken in by little girls 😭 besides being the next larry nassar he’s fucking annoying as hell tho

@Arciinin I guess if you like puppies, then you are a zoophile then. Same logic.

I believe when he’s on the scene and not sleeping he’s just a comic relief to be able to see the serious moments more funny and wholesome when he’s on i think he’s cool I don’t mind him and also being a more emotional guy is good because most of them are like cold faced

They all die actually although Zenitsu is the last and outlives them all and he writes the story of which we are reading.

I hate Zenitsu because he's an annoying, ear-raping fuckwit. He's the type of character that I hate with passion in anime, and it's a miracle I didn't drop Demon Slayer in S1 because I was really, and I mean REALLY close to dropping it because of that mother fucker.

I don't dislike Demon Slayer, I like this anime thanks to the animation, which is amazing, but I gave S1 a 6/10, and the only reason I gave that rating is because of Zenitsu; otherwise, I would have given S1 a 10/10 because I liked almost everything else, but every time Zenitsu was on screen, it ruined my enjoyment with his annoying ear-rapes and bitchy over-the-top attitude which only exists to please the 10 year old kids.

Zenitsu was at his worst in S1; luckily, he's not THAT annoying in the other seasons because he's at least sleeping for a good amount of time.
