When it comes to shonen protagonists, Demon Slayer’s Tanjiro is as cheery and positive as can be. He always takes everything in his stride, makes friends easily (even with people like Inosuke and Zenitsu), and he only reacts when he is pushed to his limits.
Throughout the anime, he’s said many things that can easily be applied in real life. Demon Slayer fans who are interested in reading pearls of wisdom from its hero can feast on the quotes mentioned below. The best part is that each and every one of them can easily be applied in almost any situation.
10 “I Won't Let You Down, No Matter What It Takes.”
In the very first episode of the series, Tanjiro witnesses his family being murdered. He finds Nezuko in a pool of blood and assumes the worst.
Being the diligent brother that he is, he immediately carries her on his back and starts walking in inches-deep snow. He wants to take her to a doctor to know what’s wrong with her, and he utters these words while he makes his very long journey.
9 “Everything I Wasn’t Able To Do For The Others, I’ll Do For You.”
While at the sensei’s place, Nezuko was fast asleep while Tanjiro was working hard on his training. In one of the scenes when he’s with Nezuko, Tanjiro has flashbacks to his past where he remembers Nezuko stitching an old and torn kimono of hers.
She did this because she didn’t want her family to spend unnecessary money on her. Coming back to the present, Tanjiro resolves to make her life better than it was in the past
8 “I’ll Make It Back, No Matter What.”
In the second episode, sensei accepts Tanjiro as his disciple. He then takes him to a nearby mountain as part of his training and then leaves him there. Tanjiro understands that this is a test since there are deadly traps all over the mountain.
Resolving that he will not fail this important test, Tanjiro says that no matter what comes his way, he will get back to Nezuko.
7 “For The First Time, My Blade Struck First.”
Tanjiro tries but repeatedly fails to strike a boulder into two pieces. However, Sabito wouldn’t let Tanjiro win and this kept on going for a good six months.
Finally, Tanjiro learned from his mistakes, and “in a fraction of a second,” he was the first to attack. Having spent half a year waiting for this moment, Tanjiro felt extremely gratified because all his hard work had paid off.
6 “You Have To Go On, No Matter What.”
In episode seven, Tanjiro and Nezuko have successfully killed the Swamp Demon. Tanjiro was able to retrieve Kazumi’s fiance’s belongings from the demon, which he returned to him.
Kazumi was at his wits’ end because of the loss of his fiancé, and Tanjiro could see him losing it. He took his hands in his own, gave him a gentle smile, and encouraged him to move on, no matter how harsh the circumstances.
5 “This Whole Time, I Was Just Grinning And Bearing It.”
Being a demon slayer takes its physical toll on the body, and Tanjiro was no exception. However, he realized his duty came first and foremost.
Due to this, despite being injured in fights repeatedly, he hardly gave himself any time to rest and let his body heal. He reiterated this fact in a monologue in episode 13, while he flashbacked to his walk with Zenitsu.
4 “I Will Assure You This, Without A Shadow Of Doubt In My Mind, I Will NOT Yield.”
The Drum Demon was Tanjiro’s first formidable enemy, especially since he could use blood demon art. But not once did Tanjiro let doubt and fear take over his mind.
He constantly kept prepping himself mentally, and right before his face-to-face fight with the demon, he says these words to him. This truly is an excellent motivational quote that fans can look back to whenever they’re feeling doubtful of themselves.
3 “It’s Okay Tanjiro, You Can Bear This.”
One second after defeating the Drum Demon, Tanjiro feels a searing pain through his chest. Wincing, he recollects how he had taken a deep breath in order to gain an advantage over the demon.
Still wincing, he falls on his knees and mutters these words to himself. As is in Tanjiro’s nature, he keeps encouraging himself to endure the pain and to simply keep pushing forward.
2 “Now’s Not The Time To Feel Sorry For Yourself!”
While going up against Rui in episode 19, Tanjiro has his sword cut in half by the demon’s powers. He immediately starts thinking of how his inexperience had let down his sensei.
But in the next second, he shakes away his negative thoughts. He tells himself that he has a more important mission to accomplish – killing Rui. That's why it wasn't the right time to feel sorry for himself.
1 “You’ve Got This! Don’t Give Up!”
After his battle with formidable demons, Tanjiro finds himself in the Butterfly Mansion where he has to undergo training (again). While Inosuke and Zenitsu have all but given up on their training, Tanjiro pushes through.
This quote is a beautiful summation of how Tanjiro thinks – he never gives up, and he never gives in. He always keeps fighting through.
