Tanjiro as a protagonist I do not like, his development in the work is very little and feels very heavy, they have him as the best new gen protagonist, but I do not know how true that is, besides he does not have much competition (in my opinion itadori and even deku are better than him) I did not manage to finish the manga because I was bored, but I think I could give him another chance.

I think what makes him boring to me is the fact that his development is nothing I've not seen before

I don’t know about being the best new generation MC but then again that is honestly subjective and if that’s how you feel about him then you’re entitled to your opinion ^u^ I personally love Tanjiro for he’s a sweetheart and the theme of family hits personal for me. I too love Deku for similar reasons that he is a kind soul and especially passionate. Itadori is a perfect blend of sweet and cool, he’s someone I’d want to be best friends with.

He's just a bit above average Shōnen protagonist. But IMO, he's better than Itadori and Deku.

I mean he's simple and has the kind of generic stubborn mindset, but in a setting based around "protagonist with progressive ideals changes a world of old values", it works just fine. I think he does have lots of good moments of character development and progression, but it just feels more heavily leaning into the strength and technique side of things, rather than with his values or personality.

Similar to how Deku has to get stronger by realizing that he can't just push his body to the brink of death in every fight, but he still keeps his values and ideas of wanting to be the greatest hero throughout the show.

In both cases, the unchanging aspects of their character are exactly what make them the protagonist I think.

I’ve only watched the anime and he is a shit basic classic shonen guy
He is perfect , overprotective in an unrealistic way , super childish , one dimensional
No real character development, no complex and compelling motivations
He is literally trash.. similar characters I really don’t understand how people do like them
I NEAD TO KNOW WHY DOES BEATRICE DO THAT …….

From my perspective, they're both basic shōnen protag. If you wanna argue, at least give a sound argument instead of just saying "tanjiro is just a basic shōnen protagonist".


Also, what part of IMO/In My Opinion don't you get? You may like Deku more than Tanjiro (which I respect) but that's not the same for everyone and everyone has their own opinion (ex : me).

He is a decent protagonist. I like his calm and gentle side. He isnt portrayed as just a kind guy who works on emotion alone, but he thinks everything through and makes the best choice according to him.


As for the itadori or deku being better, that is purely subjective.
I found Tanjiro better because the decision he takes dont seem to be dumb and he is kind.

Yuji seems a bit less interesting and a bit more dumb while deku only goes with his emotions and is a bit of a crybaby, while tanjiro definitely is more mature than at least these two.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Tanjirou had the idea of ​​being an adult and not a very beautiful world. And it's also a character that has evolved from the beginning. Tanjirou implores Giyu not to kill Nezuko. Giyu told Tanjirou to stand up and extend it again. And then Tanjirou rose up against Giyu, even though he already knew he couldn't win. Skip to part four This is when we gave Tanjirou's development. from boy not killing monsters but now killing monsters and was able to keep Sabito's words. Tanjirou is a good hero.

I mean anime as a whole is such an old art form it’s like the Simpsons and every other regular American cartoon, there are only so many stories to tell and things that can develop a character that a writer can throw at its main character, so I don’t think he’s boring but Tanjiro is just a result of how old the art form is, what the fuck else was the writer gonna do without making it stale…. Not much

I think he’s a good protagonist. He has really good characterization (some of the best among new gen mcs). I don’t think he’s like “amazing” but I find his character to be pretty good.

I think Itadori is a much better protagonist than Tanjiro is. Itadori actually has growth throughout the story and isn't just a very run of the mill, dime a dozen character

He's pretty basic, but his motivation is more than the typical "power of friendship". He's also got a tragic backstory, so that's like a quarter of a point more.

He is good boi, along with many new protagonists. Till date, I feel like for me Shoyo from Haikyuu is better. He is a blend of dumb, annoying and skill. And his growth is widely seen and realistic at points. My most hated protagonist tho, is someone who I never expected. But it's a spoiler, so

Well, you've seen around 100 Anime so I'm surprised you haven't seen a protagonist like Tanjiro. Minor Spoiler for Aot

Haven't seen memes of Naruto's talk no jutsu?
Even Joseph Joestar from Jojo showed compassion towards one of the pillar men. He whole heartedly respected one of them as a true warrior.
There are so many series that show compassion towards villains. Even Star wars if you don't count Anime/

Personality wise? sure he is a 100% Cinnamon BUT PERSONALLY at the sametime i have some downvote for the boy.Im specifically talking about his sympathy towards the baddies who literally wanna kill him and his companions.I thought deku was worse but damn tanjiro is on another level of pathetic.But hey people ignore his lack of characterization within the series because of the flashy dashy imaginary fire and water wheel animations he does

No he is not even in top 10 new gen protagonist
DEMON slayer is good
But tanjiro as a character is no good

Means his kindness sucks!!!

He is like below average for me
Imo deku is far better than him tho he is a crybaby but he is not a kinddick

So yeah he is better than tanjiro tho he is just above average


I would go for itadori (manga, yeah he should be first), denji(CSM) and gabimaru (Hell's paradise) as best new gen protagonist
