Zenitsu Agatsuma

appearance

Zenitsu is a fair-skinned teenager with short hair, formerly black, but after an accident during training when he was struck by lightning, his hair became bleached blonde with some orange streaks. His eyes are a golden brown and his eyebrows are thick. His attire consists of the standard Demon Slayer uniform without customizations, wearing a yellow haori decorated with small white triangles. During the events on Mount Natagumo, Zenitsu was poisoned by demon spiders, causing his limbs to shrink, although after a brief recovery period, they returned to normal.

personality

By nature, Zenitsu is a coward. He constantly claims he doesn't have much time left to live due to the dangerous work of being a Demon Slayer. He's also a bit of a womanizer and likes to flirt with girls he thinks are cute, asking them to marry him to their annoyance. Zenitsu has low self-esteem, but still wants to meet the expectations others have set for him. However, he was constantly afraid and always cried and ran away. He claims he wants to live a modest life where he can be useful to someone. Despite his low self-esteem, Zenitsu has great respect and admiration for his comrades and his deceased master, Jigoro Kuwajima. His focus and drive to avenge him helped him overcome his cowardice and 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 quickly becomes angry and begins to protest and complain hysterically, leading to comedic relief situations throughout the work. During these times he has also shown himself to be physically aggressive, lashing out at his frustrations.

skills

Enhanced Hearing: Zenitsu's sense of hearing is sharp enough to detect even the faintest sound vibrations around him. As time goes on, Zenitsu's hearing allows him to even hear a person's most hidden thoughts. 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 show the same skill and bravery when he is conscious. Fencing Main article: Ray Breathing Thunder Breathing (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 Demon. There are a total of six different forms within Thunder Breathing, but Zenitsu wasn't very talented as he could only learn the first of the six styles, which is said to be the most basic. However, Zenitsu has managed to develop a seventh form on his own based on dedicated training to be able to defeat his fellow student, Kaigaku. [2]

skills

First Form: Thunderclap and 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 dashes forward and attacks their opponent with incredible speed. Zenitsu has perfected this ability to the point of being able to repeat the movement multiple times in rapid succession.[3] Zenitsu usually uses the movement with the Sixfold variation (六ろく連れん,, Rokuren?) (six steps), but has been able to use the Eightfold variation (八はち連れん,, Hachiren?)[4] to quickly move up to eight consecutive times and use the technique at the same time.[5] Speed of the Gods (神速, Shinsoku?) - Zenitsu can use this technique to further increase the speed of his Thunderclap Flash. The only catch is that he can only use this ability twice a day. After the second time, his legs become useless as they break. Seventh Form: 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 form was created by Zenitsu himself. The user creates a dragon-like creature that emits fire and thunder. This form, combined with the Speed of the Gods, allowed him to defeat his former entertainment partner and Upper Moon Six, Kaigaku. Shortly before Kaigaku died, Zenitsu confessed that he created this form himself in the hope of fighting alongside him one day.
