Tsuyuri Kanao

Overview & Visuals & Personality & Combat Power

Tsuguko, the classmate of Kamado Tanjiro and the daughter of Shinobu Kochou of Chungju. A beauty with a fresh impression in her black hair. Her bangs are straight and full, and she has a side ponytail on the right side, which is tied with a pink butterfly decoration that is a heirloom of Kochou Kanae, Kochou Shinobu's older sister. When she had just finished the selection test, she had a style where she had a little bit of aegyo hair on the side of her bangs, but now instead of having aegyo hair, she has let down the side hair of her sideburns. He is wearing a purple uniform with a white cape and white boots on his feet. Among the female agents in the work, she is one of the few to wear a skirt. When she first appeared, the skirt reached her calves, but it gradually became shorter. Although she is overshadowed by other female characters, including Kanroji Mitsuri and Taki, due to her lack of exposure, she is still quite glamorous. This can be seen just by looking at the lines of her body when she is wearing her Demon Slayer Corps uniform. Originally, she had an ordinary personality, but due to an unfortunate past, she closed her heart and rarely expressed her emotions.[10] When she was first taken in by the Kochou sisters, it was so serious that she wouldn't even eat unless told to. Also, Shinobu was very worried because she couldn't even live a normal life unless Kanae decided to toss a coin to decide what to do. However, Kanae positively assured her that she would change if she found someone she liked, saying, "People's hearts bloom like flowers, so it's okay." Even after Kanae's death, she lived with a cold personality and did not express her emotions, but after meeting Tanjiro, she began to open her heart little by little. Although she rarely expressed her emotions, she chose to do so because she wanted to help her sister and people just like the Butterfly Mansion children healed people. Shinobu, who lost her parents, older sister, and Tsuguko to goblins, and the children of the Butterfly Mansion who lost their families and the people who were sacrificed, said that her feelings of not being able to forgive the goblins grew stronger as she watched them. As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tsuguko's skills are obviously excellent, and judging by her actions in the work, she would be skilled enough to be ranked in the lower ranks of the current Golden Generation leaders. First of all, in the Demon Slayer Corps selection test where she first appeared, she was the only one of the remaining five to show off a clean appearance without a single speck of dust, showing off her skills that were incomparable to the others. Originally, the Kochou sisters had no intention of raising Kanao as a swordsman, but Kanao, who wanted to be helpful to them, is said to have trained herself by watching the flower's breathing over her shoulder. Considering that she went to this selection test of her own volition, it is highly likely that Shinobu continued to oppose Kanao becoming a Demon Slayer until before the test. ​Compared to Genya, who had no talent for swordsmanship at all, and Tanjiro, who was taught directly by his master who was from the province, and Zenitsu, he was a natural genius. Even Inosuke, who created his own breathing without any information about the Demon Slayer Corps, was no match for Kanao during his recovery training. Tanjiro judged that it would be difficult to keep up with Kanao even with his uninjured body. And unlike his master Shinobu, his strength itself was strong, and he subdued Tanjiro with just one step on his head, breaking his jawbone. Up until the recovery training, he was the strongest among his peers, but Tanjiro and his group also learned the full concentration breathing technique, and Genya also received separate training from the dark lord Himejima Kyomei, so they all reached a level of skill similar to Kanao's.

Vision & Breath of Flowers

Tanjiro's words hinted that his eyesight was different from that of ordinary people, and indeed, his eyesight is excellent. When flipping a coin, he can tell if the coin is heads or tails by following it with his eyes. [15] He can also read emotions through complexion and facial expressions. He can also predict movements through the slightest movements and changes in gaze of the other person. At this point, it could be said that his kinetic vision is beyond that of an average human. She is a user of the Flower Breath derived from the Water Breath. It is said that Tsuguko of Chungju Kochou Shinobu did not learn the breathing method formally from the beginning, but learned it on her own after seeing the Kochou sisters use the Flower Breath. Basically, all attacks are linked together in a smooth flow without any interruption, striking multiple times. As the name suggests, all the techniques are named after flowers. Second Form Sword Slash: A technique that swings the sword continuously in a circular motion centered around the user. Type 4 Hongwha: A technique for cutting horizontally in a large circular shape. Type 5 Ephemeral Peony: A combo attack that fires 9 devastating strikes. The striking strikes, as the name suggests, take the shape of a peony flower. Type 6 Vortex Copy Flower: A technique where the user twists and rotates their body, digs into the opponent, and slashes the sword in a circular motion from vertical to horizontal. Final form Pianjuan: A technique that raises the visual acuity to the extreme. The pressure applied to the eyeball causes the blood vessels to burst and the cornea to turn red. Using this technique, Douma's technique, which was difficult to read properly at first, appears to be slow, but it is a double-edged sword that can cause blindness due to the increased burden on the eyes.

Human relationships

The Kochou Sisters (Kanae (older sister), Shinobu (younger sister)): The precious people who changed Kanao's life, and the beginning of all the relationships she has. In fact, before meeting these two, Kanao's life was nothing but hell, as she was assaulted every day by demons disguised as parents, and had to watch her siblings die right before her eyes. She even faced the risk of being sold into slavery, but during this process, Kanao's life began to change after meeting the Kochou sisters, and she also met precious classmates such as Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. Kamado Tanjiro: A person in love. At first, he started out as just a friend who joined the Demon Slayer Corps, but he left a deep impression on Kanao during rehabilitation training, which became the turning point for Kanao's change. Kamado Nezuko: When they first met, he tried to kill her because she was a goblin, but as Nezuko spent time at the Butterfly Mansion, they became close friends. Kanzaki Aoi: A friend who lives with Kanao at the Butterfly Mansion. When Kanao was choosing her last name, Aoi wanted to choose Kanazaki, who was similar to her, so it seems that she wanted to be like real sisters. However, after the selection test, Aoi distanced herself from Kanao because she was the complete opposite of herself, who was afraid of fighting demons and did not become a fighter. The Oni Who Killed Kanae: Since Kanae, who saved Kanae's life, was killed by Douma, Douma is naturally Kanae's mortal enemy who she can never forgive.
