I binged demon slayer a few days ago and overall it's pretty solid, not anything crazy. But man.....i love zenitsu lmao. A lot of people find him annoying... maybe im insane.

i should add he isn't my favourite character of all time and he does have his flaws, but he is one of those characters where i literally only look forward to his fights in the show.

He is low-key my favorite KnY character. I guess I just relate to him being scared all the time. Most people just can't get over the screaming, but after enough shonens I got used to that archetype.

You are not the only one, he has a great character development despite being annoying. It gets even better later onward, you will love him even more.

He ruins just about every scene when he is having a hysterical breakdown, which is over half of his scenes.

I think he's incredibly annoying now but, if he stop to scream every time he's on the screen, I can hope he can become a decent character in some way some day. I don't know if it's possible, anyway. Sorry Zenitsu xD

I really disliked him at first (I watched the anime first, and found the constant hysterics annoying) but after reading the manga & seeing his character developed more I disliked him less lmao. Still wouldn’t call him my favourite character though.

If it wasn't for Zenitsu and Inosuke I might have liked the show just a tiny bit more. Nonetheless, the show is fucking garbage.

He won't and this is coming from a manga reader. He never, throughout the series has stopped screaming and when he does it's probably in order to move the plot forward, at fucking random.

I would say he’s the most underrated DS character. Like yeah, at first in the beginning, he was a little out of hand with the whole I want to marry a girl before I die shit but once you get past that. You’ll see that he’s much more than a annoying simp character. He’s funny as fuck (not as much as the pig though lol) His backstory is dope, it’ll basically show you why he’s the way he is. His abilities are badass. Whenever he shows his abilities, you know it’ll be awesome. Like how can anyone hate him? He honestly has the coolest ability out of everyone on the show so far. (I could be wrong in the near future)

So yeah, I definitely like him a lot as a character and I hope he gets more love. By the way, Zenitsu isn’t even my favorite character (yet). Right now, it’s Tanjirou. He’s just way more developed as a character and is also badass.

I kinda like him or think he's okay. Still better than Inosuke.
I liked Tanjirou tho. Not that he's becoming one of my favs, but he's really likeable and kind. Nezuko has well... not really that much of personality right now, it's pretty basic, but the story will go on and I think she might develop through it a lot too. Or I hope.
And I hope Zenitsu and Inosuke become more ... bearable.

Easily the most entertaining character of the crew.
Gonpachirou Kamabokomaru is a bit bland, and Inosuke (while entertaining too) is a bit too pig-headed for my tastes.

He's fine. His design and skill set is pretty nice albeit one note. Decent backstory and the best part about him is his dynamic with the other two mains. He's just too obnoxious in a lot of cases for him to be anywhere close to one of the better characters and KnY has plenty of them that fit their niche better than him

I swear on my 4 piggy bank dollars that once we get more of this series animated and he grows a bit outside of comic relief y'all are gonna bite your tongues

I do admit that the anime, at least the first season, doesn't leave that much of a good impression. Yeah ep 17 was cool, yeah he's funny sometimes. The voice actor does his job so well that his voice annoyed me a lot the first time I watched it. So generally, not a very good character unless you're an auditory masochist.
Even as I first read the manga, he didn't seem that appealing at first.
Then I reread it slower (I was up to the Pillar Training Arc when I reread it), and for some reason now I love this dude.

Maybe it's because I started relating to him so much more, as someone who was a coward most of their childhood, who just found it easier to cry than to face things, a procrastinator at heart, and yet he achieves great things (yeah he's asleep, but the potential and drive is there).
I think he feels things that most people would feel in the world of Demon Slayer, where there are the titular demons, it's just that he's way more vocal about it. Too vocal for some. Aside from fear (AKA what he yells about 80% of the time) he also feels a very strong need for love (the other 20% of yelling), which stem from his backstory of abandonment and such. Shinji 2.0, if you may, in the sense that his cowardice is justified but compared to the rest of characters fueled by such a strong will he just looks like a pussy.
Is he pathetic? Yeah kind of. The guy hides behind literal children from fuck's sake, how low can you get. And the whole marriage thing,, (though in the manga he stops doing that to everyone but Nezuko, and it's shown that he really does care about her in very cute moments some of wHICH WERE CUT FROM THE ANIME,, if someone compares him to Mineta i'm going to flip)

So yeah he's a very flawed character which I really relate to and after some time love so much I'd buy a figure of him if I had a bank acc

oh and
ggggggod is his journey in the manga GOOD and SATISFYING it's just UGH i just can't wait for his shit to be animated ,, not just the [You-know-who] fight which I obviously will wait for 'till I die but also how he grows with the rest of the Kamabokos and aaaa it's so good you guys i don't wanna spoil anything but please give this burnt block of cheese a chance

this has been a very dumb tangent on why this lemon-colored bitch is one of my favourite characters ever and I would say more but this already looks stupid so bye

Nah, Zenitsu is pure garbage, that character almost ruined this good anime for me with his constant bitching and screaming which got out of hand every time he appeared on screen. It's annoying as hell.

He got bearable in the last 2 episodes because he wasn't screaming that much and I actually liked him there, but other than the last 2 episodes, I hate him.

InuLeaf said:

I'm up to date with the manga and he's definitely less annoying there because we don't have to hear him scream but in the anime this got really out of hand.

I'm willing to give that character a chance if they don't overuse that screaming shtick which they used most of the time for that character. You know what? Zenitsu was actually pretty likable to me in the last 2 episodes because they didn't abuse that screaming bitchy attitude of his. In the last 2 episodes Zenitsu shennanigans worked, that character should have been like that from the beginning.

He made me drop the show at one point because of how obnoxiously annyoing he was. Hated every second he was one screen. I only picked the show back up again becuase of how explosivly popualr episode 19 became, and wanted to see what the hype was about. From that point to the end, he only just became barely tolerable for me.

Imo Zenitsu is the anime version of Jar Jar Binks , and thats a insult towards Jar Jar,,,,,

He screams then cry then its repeat over and over

And for me he is one of the most irritating characters ever created, and one the biggest reason I gave that anime 5/10 instead of 8/10

But in my book all the male characters in that are a damn mess

Dumb comparison. Zenitsu is one of the most popular/loved characters in the series and actually has depth and development unlike Jar Jar

Never understood the vocal minority and their ridiculous hate for Zenitsu.

I have patience and I have read all of your comments. And...oh man, this is getting confusing:)))) There are so many who hate him and yet he is the second most popular character in the series:)))

Okay, so, here is my opinion.
I ADORE HIM! :)) I actually have some merchandise of Zenitsu and I plan to search for a nice-sized figure or nanoblock of him asap :))) I mean, yeah, he is annoying, very annoying, but this what it makes him so popular and this proves that Shimono Hiro is a great voice actor. I understand that you guys don't really like his personality, that he's a crybaby, but he's very anxious actually and doesn't really realize that he's quite powerful. He knows just the first form of Thunder Breathing Style and yet he masters it. Don't be so harsh on him, guys, at least he's trying his best in the series:))

I have the stupidest sense of humour and I still couldn't find Zenitsu anything but annoying. He is not a bad character per se, he has more personality than Tanjirou but he is a terrible comedic relief.

Yes. There are plenty of 12 year olds out there that I'm sure just think he is the most hilarious thing ever.

Just refer to that small sample size popularity poll that his fans bring up constantly.

Hmm Zenitsu adds variation to characters, also there is this thing called character development.
If he only appears in only one or two episodes of anime I would be annoyed of him too, good thing he appeared more for me to like him enough later.
