I absolutely loved Zenitsu, one of the cutest characters ive seen in a long time i feel (him and the freaking sparrow😂), didnt expect him to be like that at all and Tanjiros disgust faces were hilarious.

Excited to finally see the boar guy! animation on him is flawless.

And its kinda funny Tajiro and Nezuko seem to be of the very few sane characters we got, the rest are completely crazy lmao.

Zenitsu, the token comedic relief character to distract you from how seriously fucked the world is in this series. His idiocy will someday save mankind.
Don't believe the hype.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought Zenitsu was just fucking awful. I'm not sure why people find being as loud and obnoxious as possible funny. And that first victim could have been saved if they hadn't wasted time on his gross bullshit with that girl.

Agree 100%. I've been loving this show, but if he becomes a regular character on the show and keeps acting like this, I might seriously drop out.

Okay, I really loved this show, but the two new characters were despicably awful and annoying at first glance. Hopefully, there will be growth from them, otherwise, this show is losing a lot of maturity and seriousness.

Yup... This was actually the first time that a single character destroyed a show for me, I couldn't watch it and enjoy it. Hopefully he calms the fuck down.

Zenitsu better calm the fuck down soon or get way less screentime. He is incredibly annoying at the moment. I don't think I can stand much more of him if he stays like this. He was a big drag on this episode. His crying and screaming gets really tiring after like 10 seconds.
Some of the humour (also because of Zenitsu) in this was also massively misplaced, taking away any tension or seriousness it's supposed to have.

Zenitsu made me laugh with his ridiculousness, normally I dislike the cowardly and annoying characters, but for some reason with this guy I could not hate him, his ridiculous faces and his exaggerated way of reacting made me laugh throughout the episode.

After that humiliating introduction where Tanjirou meets Zenitsu, they are both assigned to a new mission (for Tanjirou's bad luck).
Both find a house in the middle of the forest and nearby they find a boy and his little sister, both very terrified and they reveal that a devil lives in the house and kidnaps his older brother.
Zenitsu apparently is not as useless as he shows, like Tanjirou, he shows to have an excellent sense of hearing, but it's too late and a boy is thrown from the second floor and he dies in Tanjirou's arms, fortunately He isn't the elder brother of the little ones.
When Tanjirou decided to take action and take Zenitsu away he was too funny, Zenitsu was totally unnerved by the previous scene, but I wonder what face Tanjirou would have for that coward to change his mind?

When they entered the house there was an atmosphere of suspense really well made, but Zenitsu's cowardice ruined it, I laughed out loud at the faces he put when Tanjirou said he was still recovering from his previous battle.
The new demon has a skill that I like very much, the house is a kind of labyrinth that changes when the sound of the drum is heard.
Zenitsu in his desperation to run away finds the boy with the boar mask and obviously the ridiculous Zenitsu made me laugh for the stupid face he put, I feel sorry for the poor boy who has to be with Zenitsu.
Tanjirou discovers that the demon of the drums controls not only the change of rooms, but also the room can rotate, but in an instant the boy of the boar mask arrives at the room where Tanjirou is and apparently he is also a demon slayer.
Damn this episode seemed well balanced, I know that not everyone likes characters like Zenitsu, but being honest their stupidity and cowardice made me have a good time (and if I'm honest, I did not find him as annoying as Asta)
But now I just have to ask myself, what will Zenitsu's combat ability be? the opening shows a detail, but I want to see how he defends and saves the child (or maybe Tanjirou and boar mask do all the work), boar mask also caught my attention and I want to see if this guy will cooperated with Tanjirou to beat the demon of the drums.
The name of the next episode called my curiosity, what do they refer when they mention that Zenitsu is sleeping?

Zenitsu is already the most annoying anime character this year, he takes that award with some nominations from this season's anime characters! If I was Tanjiro I would've left his ass, probably punched him a bit or spin kicked him.

This show should calm down on the tacky comedy, we get it you want to relieve the tension of the plot but PLEASE...

Zenitsu sure is loud but it doesn't bother me that much, I think I already like him as a comic relief

It's nice to finally see the last main characters shown in the opening, the team is now complete !

Nice episode though, we also encountered the demon shown in the opening too, the following battle will be great


my only regret in this episode : not enough Nezuko. I need my weekly dose of cuteness delivered by Nezuko

I see lots of people are starting to hate Zenitsu for his personality. But I find him quite amusing to be honest. His character's purpose is to add funny element into this seemingly serious series and he has done enough. But let's see how everything goes once this arc is done.

Also, don't you ever forget...... PIG ASSAULT...!!!!!!!! Fuutarou had enough with the quints and decided to put a boar head skin onto his head and start yelling "pig assault" while.. well.. assaulting xD

he's the most favorite (#2) character of the series tho, based of the poll from the manga.


I'm not discussing popularity from manga readers, im discussing how hes presented to new fans at this current point in time

It's not because of poll and popularity bs. Zenitsu is one of the best written characters in the manga and hell pretty much all the key characters are very well written. This is a story where character just doesn't feel like they are being characters just for the sake of being characters. There's more to them and that's what separates this from any of typical shonen these days. Eventually you will see.

Zenitsu's behaviour & mentality really brings a wind of fresh air in this dark & bloody universe lol

He creates a huge contrast between him & Tanjiro, who's always ready to give a hand without turning back, ready to get hurt for someone else's sake. Despite the fact I ain't know who's the "boarhead fighter", he seems like a kind of slayer who goes all in at each fight, betting on strenght instead of thoughts. If it is true, they form an interesting trio ! Great thing additional characters were added.

Not gonna lie. Zenitsu's VA did a pretty nice job at portraying his outbursts but Jesus, can somebody please shut him up? xD

Now seriously, I honestly found his pathetic attitude more annoying than funny but I guess it's a matter of tastes since the majority seem to like it. It's not really a big deal either but I hope he can calm down later on in the series.

That aside, it was an OK episode overall. Sadly, the comedy and its timing made it less enjoyable but at least, Inosuke's entrance made up for it in the end. He looks quite badass so I'm really looking forward to seeing him in action the next episode.

I wonder how people will react toward Inosuke next week.

Zenitsu's first impression isn't that good, is it? The guy is a complete mess, constantly whining and crying. Luckily, Tanjirou is there to give him that disdain look. Even that kid looked down on him.
To all people disliking Zenitsu, please don't pass judgement on him just yet. He will prove his worth soon enough. The three main boys complement each other nicely and make for an interesting group. Their character dynamic is probably one of the best things about this series.

Kinda sad hat most viewer didn't pick up something more about Zenitsu character beside he been a crybaby. Watching those scene after already read the manga make me apprieciate Zenitsu character much more. If you think about it, despite fearing for his life, Zenitsu didn't quit the Demon Slayer coup and find another job, he followed Tanjirou into the monster mansion eventhough Tanjirou said he can stay outside if he too scare. He reminded me of Courage the Cowardly dog. Also think about it, his sensei wouldn't send him to the Final Selection if he didn't think Zenitsu could pass it.

I bet Shimono Hiro had a fun time voicing Agatsuma Zenitsu. I think many people might find him annoying or loud but while I read the manga, I found Hashibara Inosuke, the boar mask guy, to be more annoying to be honest. Zenitsu is my favorite for many reasons which I won't spoil. He's kind of like Shinpachi and Usopp rolled into one. He's an over-the-top "straight man" of the series. In reality, if we lived in a world with demons or monsters,most people would lose their minds.

As you can see from the omake in the ending and in the ED song visuals, Zenitsu is quite the womanizer. Don't write him off yet, though. Please watch the OP credits to see his potential. Some may think his crying and wailing are annoying but I think it's fucking hilarious. He acts like most real people would act in a bizarre situation as living in a world with demons.

Zenitsu's got to have some sort of hidden power. That short clip in the OP has got me so interested in his character. And there's now way he was one of the FOUR PEOPLE out of like 30 or whatever to pass that test on accident. I refuse to believe that. He's got something, and I'm super excited to see it.

the "comedy" in this show just consists of overacting, screaming, and inappropriately timed jabs - and Zenitsu is the epitome of it all. one of the worst character debuts in recent memory. every moment he opened his mouth was agony.

only thing that is keeping me watching at this point is the interesting demons they fight and their unique powers - unfortunately most of them are throwaway characters who die not soon after they appear.

I am so Freaking annoy at zenitsu he is such moron and incredible annoying. Worst characters in recent memories. So inosuke show up didn t expect that. I wish they show at least giyuu or Kanao instead Zenitsu who just plain moron and fucking annoying.

Tanjirou and Nezuko are only interestings characters thus far along with Sakonji Zenitsu stink shit annoying and Inosuke.

Okay episode so far.


Zenitsu should be put at mob psycho instead of this series

I never thought zenitsu is this pathectic and annoying.

Zenitsu gave me really good first impressions, his character juxtaposes with Tanjiro's really well. I think that Zenitsu has a lot of potential for a character arc in the future, although he will have to develop another defining trait if the writers are going to alleviate his cowardice. This ep was really character driven, and it worked really well as a buffer ep between the plot-heavy episodes that we just finished.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
