Rengoku is partially deaf. Thats one of the reasons for the way he speaks.

[@gallenberger1]

@@thetacticalpuertorican That's a cool detail

[@kaylagreenway7782]

He got deaf because he destroyed his own ears to defeat a demon that if you hear its flute you'd go paralyzed, so he gave himself a permanent injury to defeat a demon that (I forgot if it was even 1 of the 12 kizuki) to save some demon slayers

[@kaylagreenway7782]

@thetacticalpuertorican oh kk

[@rafzombie9896]

The reason people remember him is because he died the way he lived Too many anime’s have happy endings of characters who have righteous anger turning the fight around, and Mollywhopping the villain, Akaza made a clean escape with tanjiro being the one to piss him off and lose his cocky state. I’m glad that demon slayer has shown that living for ideals doesn’t always have the happiest of endings. But can be beautiful anyway when we define how we die and not the other way around.

Rengoku is the older brother everyone deserves. Also, that "shrimp tempura" thing is actually just a joke Rengoku says while making a crying child laugh in the spinoff manga.

This is the best Rengoku analysis I've seen, while being super easy to understand

Appreciate it, that means a lot. Rengoku is an awesome character with a special legacy.

[@LowMelaninLife]

Always remember he became a hashira by reading a book

[@gallenberger1]

Classic

[@Dougall12]

I liked your emphasis on how important Rengoku was. His presence is felt everywhere. In the Entertainment distract Tanjiro saw Rengoku’s image next to Tengen as a reminder to keep going. I didn’t know the fact about his hair design too, awesome analysis!

[@gallenberger1]

Good call on the Rengoku image by Tengen, that was awesome too.

[@5555905]

Not only that, brah. I watched this character in Christmas 2020, the year that I almost had my life ruined and took time to get myself straight. And you are right, he hits home both the story and the audience.

Even more personal for you. Thanks for the great comment!

Fun fact: They killed him off in the manga because his hair was too hard to draw

[@gallenberger1]

[@TuffJuff]

Fantastic video. Makes me want to watch Mugen Train again. Having Goku in the name definitely gives him a presence right away. Wonder if that was intentional

[@gallenberger1]

Had to be intentional imo.

[@natalimoina]

Definitely not intentional. It just stands out because we don't know Japanese. Rather, the names in demon slayer are all chosen to have some sort of meaning (as in Japanese names can have actual words in them). Rengoku means "purgatory".

This is still the only time an anime has made me feel this depressed and I’ve watched a lot of anime with depressing themes this is the best analysis I’ve seen and it’s always the same line that gets me about him to set his heart ablaze when he feels he isn’t enough or the I accept your sister in the demon slayer corp is the hardest hitting line me heard but this analysis alone already says enough to why rengoku is my favourite character in anime as a whole even in other shounin

Hey, at the beginning of your Vegeta Changed Anime Forever video, you mentioned that Vegeta has never been replicated but he has been duplicated.
