Demons are non-existent to most humans. If someone finds a body abused or someone vanishing, animals are believed to be the cause of these incidents. But when people realize demon’s existence, Demon Slayer Corps are appointed, an organization of people that have the ability to fight these demons and protect humans from them. One of them is Kanao Tsuryuri, who is the latest recruit of the Demon Slayers and a Tsuguko education to become a member of the Hashira, or Pillar when they retire or die. Her entire life, she has been told that demons are unredeemable and evil, but this concept in her mind completely changes when she meets another Demons Slayer named Tanjirou Kamado. Tanjirou’s sibling, Nezuko, is a demon who stay near her brother and helps him when needed, while Tanjirou is determined to find a way to turn his sister back to human.
Tsuyuri is the second cutest girl in the anime, since Nezuko took the first place of the cutest girl in the series. She is almost the same age as Tanjrou, she covers her hair in a beautiful butterfly comb and wears a pony tail and you will see her smiling all the time. Of course, her smile obscure a gruesome and horrific past, but nobody can realize it just by looking. Her kimono and fight moves are also butterfly theme, she even looks cute when she is attempting to kill someone.
A she gets ready to be one of the pillar, Kanao has been pushed really hard compared to other participants at the Final Selection, even after all that training, she stills stands at the starting level of a Demon Slayer. However, when she reached the final destination in the Final Selection, she was the only one unscathed. Later on when we see her, we observe that she doesn’t take time in killing a demon, properly managing her time.
With all the excess training she received as we discussed earlier, Kanao sharpen her strengths that no other beginner level Demon Slayer is match with her. Due to this she is capable of dueling strong and dangerous demons with ease. The thing that makes us love her more is even after all this power she still doesn’t take pride in it. While she may overpower the demons, she upholds her responsibility pretty well, she makes very few errors and when she does she learns from them.
Kanao was living a very tough life, after the Demon Slayer Corps raised her and decide to make her a future Pillar. Her history shattered her a bit and due to that she rarely trust anyone and she chooses not to speak to anyone without flipping the coin and deciding on the result, but despite all the incidents she is still living. There is a reason she is still standing and very slowly she is regaining the lost feelings she lost as a young child. Due to this reasons, we have to accept that her will is steel strong.
Because of that terrifying childhood, she is very thankful to this chance to live a peaceful life with the Demon Slayer Corps comparatively with Shinobu. She is not afraid to die not only for the Demon Slayer Corps, but for Tsuyuri sister as well, who never let her felt lonely and consider her sister even though she wasn’t their biological sister. She is very faithful, she will stay loyal to you if you don’t think of harming her family.
The reasons she will eventually take the position of one of the Pillar of the Demons Corps, Kanao doesn’t travel with Tanjiro and his team on his quest and she is the only one of the students who survived the Final Destination. And sadly due to this reason we don’t see her appearance much, but let’s hope this doesn’t stay like this forever. And the truth is there is no one who watched Demon Slayer doesn’t find her amazing.
