Inoske Hashibira

Personality

Inosuke is incredibly hot-tempered and reckless, often jumping into fights with stronger opponents without thinking about the consequences. He is competitive and often tries to provoke his comrades, Tanjiro and Zenitsu, into duels. Growing up alone in the mountains, Inosuke has difficulty communicating with others and is unable to read or write. Through becoming a Demon Slayer and gaining friends and allies, Inosuke has learned to spend more time thinking about strategies, analyzing his opponent, and assessing risks, as well as accepting help. Inosuke is quite vengeful, especially when people he cares about suffer. He was convinced that the machinist who stabbed Tanjiro did not deserve to live. He immediately attacked Douma after learning that he killed and devoured Shinobu, and he became truly angry when he learned that Douma was also the one who orphaned him. Most notably, he did not hesitate to challenge Muzan, demanding atonement for the numerous deaths of demon slayers. Because he was raised by boars, Inosuke has a poor understanding of how to behave in society. He initially considers anyone who approaches him an enemy. He also does not understand the kindness with which other people treat him. Inosuke cannot read or write, and he has difficulty with human names: instead of Tanjiro, he says Monchiro, instead of Zenitsu, he says Monitsu. Sometimes, Inosuke can be too rude, but not intentionally.

Appearance

Inosuke is usually seen wearing a mask and shirtless. Without his mask, he has a beautiful, feminine face, thin eyebrows, large green eyes with long eyelashes, and shoulder-length black hair that fades to blue. As noted by other characters, his soft features contrast with his muscular build. Of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, Inosuke wears only dark blue pants, secured with a wide wool belt and ending with blue wool socks with bare toes and heels. The most important element of his attire is a light gray boar mask. He also carries two katanas on his back that are attached to his belt. In the form of a demon, he looks the same; the only thing that changes about him is his claws, fangs, and pupils.

Abilities

Enhanced Sense of Touch - Due to Inosuke's upbringing in the mountains, his sense of touch is phenomenal. He can sense small vibrations in the air and even someone's gaze on him, especially if they are looking at him with hostility. Poison Resistance - Inosuke was able to resist the effects of the deadly poison of the Sixth Upper Moon, meaning that he could develop immunity to almost all types of poisonous substances. However, according to Aoi Kanzaki, his immunity can also interfere with any antidotes. Flexibility - Inosuke is extremely flexible, being able to move his joints and change the location of his internal organs at will. Enhanced Strength - Inosuke's physical strength was enough to easily throw Tanjiro into the air with one powerful throw.
