Day falls into night in early 20th century Japan, and demons haunt the countryside like a plague. If you’re wise, you would seek shelter, only coming outside at first light. But perhaps you weren’t meant to cower in the shadows. Maybe you could stand in the dark to keep the demons at bay.
For untold generations, the stalwart souls of the Demon Slayer Corps have stood guard in the night to protect Mankind from bloodthirsty, merciless creatures known as Demons. Skilled in battle and strategy, the members of the Corps train in Breathing Styles to enhance their swordsmanship with various elemental powers, allowing them to fight at par with Demons and permanently destroy them.
Yet it takes a formidable kind of person to pass the Final Selection and become a Demon Slayer. Many recruits simply die off, becoming fodder for the demons lurking in Fujikasane Mountain. If you have the will to survive, however, then perhaps you can walk out alive.
Do you truly think you have what it takes to be a Demon Slayer? Or when the sun sets, would you better off hiding in the corner, forever at the mercy of these supernatural predators? Which Demon Slayer character are you? Take our quiz to find out.

Every Breathing Style builds upon Total Concentration Breathing to enhance a Demon Slayer’s swordsmanship and skill in combat. The techniques one performs as part of a Breathing Style resemble concepts in nature, from the flowing, shapeless slashes of Water Breathing to the direct, powerful strikes of Flame Breathing. The original Breathing Style took the form of Sun Breathing, which several generations of Demon Slayers have adapted to better suit their own styles. Your own Breathing Style can depend on your physical ability, as well as your approach in confronting and combatting enemies. If you prefer being straightforward and direct in life, you’ll like Flame or Thunder Breathing. For a little more subtlety and precision, you’d enjoy Mist and Wind Breathing. If you really enjoy improvisation and adaptability, go for Water Breathing. And if you’re cerebral and analytical, Flower or Insect Breathing could be your perfect match.
People who are turned into demons often lose much of their human personality, memories, and intellect. Many become feral altogether, abandoning speech and acting like savage creatures in their thirst for blood. However, perhaps through her willpower, Nezuko remains conscious, and is still able to express herself to a degree.
No official explanation exists for why she no longer talks regularly, although there are some possible factors. Her skill at speaking could be atrophied due to having to restrain her urge to feed with a bamboo gag. During the rare times that she does speak, she also seems to stutter due to not having the need to speak often.
New Nichirin blades change color when they are first wielded by their owner, often reflecting their user’s Breathing Style. It remains a mystery as to why Tanjiro’s turned black, although it neatly links to his past, as charcoal is black, and he used to sell charcoal to provide for his family.
When inks of several colors are combined, they produce the color black. Likewise, Tanjiro later learns the Sun Breathing style, from which all other Breathing Styles are adapted.
