I was wondering, why don't Muzan kill Tanjiro himself? Tanjiro isn't even in his prime right now. He could literally end the show if he wants to, but no, instead, Muzan would send multiple demons to kill Tanjiro but get killed later.

Is it later revealed in the manga? I haven't read the manga yet, but I have watched the first season a year ago but can't seem to remember the reason, could somebody please enlighten me? Thankyou and have a pleasant day.

Getting strangled to death by Rin's thighs wouldn't be a bad way to die.

Maybe because he is very arrogant and lazy to kill tanjiro or maybe because muzan knows that akaza is a legendary character..and he should be the one the trying to kill tanjiro...

He sends his goons cause he is busy himself doing research to conquer the sun. It's not like his sole porpuse is to kill Tanjirou, his main goal is conquering the sun, Tanjirou getting fucked would be just a bonus. Also he has a big god complex, he is too big to go around killing literal minions, that's what the run of the mill demons are for. And for the hashira he got the upper 6, although he could just do it himself, he feels like he doesn't need too and is himself busy with something else. Also he could but he can't, it's not like he is invincible or is an all seeing all knowing God, he has the power to one shot 99% of the demon slayers, but that doesn't mean he can

Long answer: Apparently Yorichi (has appeared in the Anime) almost defeated Muzan so even after living for centuries he is still scared of him and Tanjiro wears Ear rings that is almost identical to Yorichi's ear rings. So the ear rings which Tanjiro wears scares the shit out of him and he thinks that Tanjiro may also be as strong as Yorichi so he doesn't take the risk. Even though he is currently much much stronger than Tanjiro and it won't even take a second to beat him. But you know, Plot armor always wins.

If your referring to the scene in Mugen Train in the dream sequence where he pops up behind Tanjiro, that's Tanjiro's Dad, not Yorichi. Enmu didn't know who Yorichi was but he did say he could show Tanjiro a dream where his Dad is alive again. Also Tanjiro didn't know who Yorichi was at the time (although you could argue that it some subconscious inherited memory shit). At the end of the episode which has that scene you're referring to (the Mugen Train episodes) the cartoon thing that some modern shonens have (idk what their name is) it confirms that the guy was Tanjiro's Dad. It shows them talking and Tanjiro even calls him Dad. So no, that's not Yorichi, and even if it was,
is still a manga spoiler

Not really plot armour, Muzan thinks too highly of himself to go after someone as low as Tanjirou, tanjirou's earrings piss me off more than it scares him, and also, Muzan is busy doing research on how to conquer the sun, which is his only goal, so stopping the pursuit of his goal and go out of his way to defeat someone barely strong enough to defeat a lower moon when he got 6 upper moons capable of one shotting Tanjirou on command is kinda dumb. So he sends his goons.

SIMPLE : BECAUSE OF PLOT. Same reason why akaza wasnt able to wipe out the entire characters there before the sun comes out when he CAN do it. He's fast and strong he can literally one punch everyone and let them die there then run away like sonic. You see how muzan was even pissed because he couldnt even fulfill such a simple task where he can achieve it

I don't think he was referring to mugen train but rather the silhouettes of yoriichi which appeared twice in the anime

I was referring to the Anime where it's silhouettes has appeared and not the Movie. Still added a spoiler tag just in case.

Short answer: lazy writing and for the sake of the plot
