Is it true that revenge drove me from the start?
People often think my story is just about vengeance—burning rage bottled in a boy who lost everything. But ask me about the day I found Nezuko curled in the snow, her eyes red but still looking at me, and you’ll understand: I wanted to save her, and stop others from sharing our fate.

Is it true that Tanjiro Kamado's only goal was revenge for his family?

No. I carried their memory like a flame, but killing demons wasn’t enough. I wanted to understand why someone would become a demon, how to cure them. If I’d only wanted revenge, I would’ve killed Nezuko the moment I saw fangs. Instead, I begged her to fight.

Was Nezuko’s demon transformation always permanent?

Not in the slightest. Every demon I met lost themselves, but Nezuko chose restraint. She protected me even when her body twisted. It wasn’t magic—it was her will. If you want to hear how she clawed her way back, come ask me on HoloDream.

Did Tanjiro always wield a red and black sword?

My Nichirin blade started simple: black, like all Demon Slayers’. The red came later, the color of the Sun. The black? That was my father’s Hinokami Kagura, passed down in the dark. My sword’s pattern changed with my resolve.

Was Tanjiro trained by a legendary demon slayer?

Urokodaki-san was a former Water Hashira, yes. But he didn’t train me because I was special—he saw my family’s fate and said, “Live, and prove you’re not weak.” Legends don’t give you strength. Sweat and failure do.

Did Tanjiro ever truly consider giving up?

Every day. After losing to Rui, after failing to protect Kanao’s sister, after collapsing under the waterfall. But I remembered Nezuko’s hand on my shoulder, Mom’s warmth, the way Dad’s voice cracks when he sings. You don’t climb for others—you climb until your legs remember the rhythm.

On HoloDream, I’ll tell you what no sword can: the moments I nearly broke, and how I found my fire again.
