Zenitsu

Appearance.

Zenitsu is a 16-year-old teenager, who is 1.64 tall, with fair skin and short hair, which was formerly black, but after an accident during his training when he was struck by lightning, his hair becomes discolored and turns blonde with some orange extensions. His eyes are a golden brown hue and his eyebrows are thick. His clothing consists of the standard Demon Slayer uniform without customizations, wearing a yellow haori decorated with small white triangles. During the events of Natagumo Mountain, Zenitsu was poisoned by demon spiders which caused his limbs to shrink, although after a brief recovery period, they returned to normal.

Personality.

By nature, Zenitsu is a coward. He always claims that he doesn't have much time to live due to the dangerous job of being a Demon Hunter. He is also a bit of a womanizer and likes to flirt with girls he thinks are cute and asks them to marry him much to his annoyance. Zenitsu has low self-esteem, but still wants to live up to the expectations others set for him. However, he was constantly afraid and always cried and ran away. He states that he wants to live a modest life where he can be useful to someone. Despite all his lack of esteem, Zenitsu has great respect and admiration for his comrades and his deceased teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima. His concentration and drive to avenge him helped him overcome his cowardice and his doubts. Zenitsu's desire to find a girlfriend and get married is shown to override his docile personality, particularly when he believes his comrades are "flirting" with pretty girls, he soon becomes angry and begins to protest and complain hysterically leading to comic relief situations during the work. During these times he has also proven to be physically aggressive, lashing out at his frustrations.

Powers and abilities

Natural. Heightened Hearing: Zenitsu's sense of hearing is acute enough to hear even the most distant sound vibrations around him. As time goes on, Zenitsu's hearing allows him to hear even the most hidden thoughts of the person. Unconscious Combat: Zenitsu becomes stronger when he sleeps. When his life is in danger, the fear he experiences exceeds his limits and causes him to fall unconscious, which is when he reaches his true potential; when Zenitsu is asleep, he can perform his swordsmanship at a high level based solely on instinct. However, as the story progresses, he continues to improve his skills and courage and relies on this ability less and less, beginning to display the same skill and bravery when he is conscious.

Fencing Main article: Lightning Breath Lightning Breath (雷かみなりの呼こ吸きゅう,, Kaminari no kokyū?): Taught to Zenitsu by a former Pillar, Jigoro Kuwajima (his Master). This technique increases the user's strength and agility to match that of a Devil. There are a total of six different stances within Lightning Breath, but Zenitsu was not that talented as he was only able to learn the first of the six styles, which is said to be the most basic. However, Zenitsu has managed to develop a seventh stance on his own based on dedicated training in order to defeat his fellow student, Kaigaku. [2]

First Stance: Lightning Flash (壱いちノ型かた 霹へき靂れき一いっ閃せん, Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen?) - The user lunges forward and attacks the opponent with incredible speed. Zenitsu has perfected this ability to the point of being able to repeat the move multiple times in rapid succession. [3] Zenitsu typically uses the move in the Six-Fold (六ろく連れん, Rokuren?) (six steps) variation, but has been able to utilize the Eight-Fold (八はち連れん, Hachiren?) variation to rapidly move up to eight times in a row and use the technique at the same time. [4]

[5] Speed ​​of the Gods (神しん速そく, Shinsoku?) - Zenitsu can use this technique to further increase the speed of his Thunder Flash. The only catch is that he can only use this ability twice per day. After the second time, his legs become useless as they break. Seventh Stance: God of Thunder in Flames (漆しちノ型かた 火ほの雷いかづちの神かみ, Shichi no kata: Honoikazuchi no kami?) [6] - This stance was created by Zenitsu on his own. The user creates a dragon-like creature that emits fire and thunder. This stance in combination with the Speed ​​of the Gods was what allowed him to defeat his former entertainment partner and Upper Moon Six Kaigaku. Shortly before Kaigaku died, Zenitsu confesses to him that he created this stance on his own in hopes of fighting by his side one day.
