[Demon Slayer] Important things Rengoku-san taught us🔥[Analysis]

There are things from "Demon Slayer" that I still suddenly remember.


Rengoku-san died.

And yet, why did that scene
not look like a "defeat"?

He didn't win, but he didn't lose either.
This contradiction remains with me.


In terms of strength, the demon was superior.

This is a fact.

Even so, that battle
left behind something that cannot be processed as a "loss".

In the first place, was that battle
meant to decide a "win or loss"?


What Rengoku-san was trying to protect
was not his own life, nor his honor.

Something more intangible.

Perhaps that was a strong "will".

A will does not disappear on the spot.
It is only completed when it is passed on to someone else.


That is why, even now that "Demon Slayer" has concluded,
Rengoku-san's will continues to burn within us.

Then,
if that battle was not about "win or loss" but "inheritance",

why was Rengoku-san
able to fight so thoroughly?

Knowing he would lose his life,
why was he able to keep standing?


Perhaps it is because he had polished his "Nigimitama" (harmonious spirit) to the limit and was acting with that as his driving force.

Rengoku-san was the first one to light the fire.
In a sense, you could call him a vanguard.

"I will fulfill my duty!!"


Rather than just burning his heart,
Rengoku-san upheld his late mother's teachings.

"It is the duty of those born strong to help the weak."

That is why he did not fear his life burning out.


I think Rengoku-san was a symbolic existence who polished his "Nigimitama" without a single cloud of doubt.

The reason Rengoku-san laughed and rejected Akaza's invitation to "become a demon" was likely because abandoning the "Nigimitama" he had polished his whole life to degenerate into a merely violent "Aramitama" (rough spirit) would have been a "degradation more miserable than death."

Do you use it to show off your power?
Or do you use it for the peace of protecting everyone?

Even with the same power, it becomes a completely different kind of strength.



I want to continue to remember the strength of will
and the "Nigimitama" that the person named Kyojuro Rengoku upheld.

"Set your heart ablaze"



The era of being protected by the country or others is coming to an end.

From now on, we must be careful
not to let our own will, that spark, go out.

And I believe that even if it is small, that spark you keep burning
will be exerted as a power to protect peace.🔥
