I see Yoriichi and Michikatsu backstory. I like Yoriichi from his backstory even though i already like him him way more now than before. He might end up as one of my favourites flashblack characters.

Yoriichi is such kind and nice boy. He is also very talented as well and loves his mother and doesn t like violence. Interesting Jealousy is understandable. Its inexcusable for Michikatsu attenpt to kill his brother for this reason alone. Its lame and unjustified reason. I won t sympathies with Michikatsu If this is his only reason.

Yoriichi can already use the mark and all see through world when he was a child. Very gifted and talented.

I wonder how Yoriichi become stoic,calm and collected person.

Need to know more. Yoriichi and Michikatsu backstory is interesting.

it's jealousy, you can't never run from it.



sometimes, it's not about wrong person, but wrong time at the wrong place...

Oh I know that frustration. Talented people sometimes cam make you feel both jealous and angry for not being able to be like them.
Kokushibo has all the reasons to despise his brother, although poor Yoriichi, he did nothing wrong. He probably never wanted that talent.

It was nice to see how Yoriichi was the one who came up with the breathing style. He too doesn’t even know how that works. Nice, we will never get a proper explanation lmao

Curious to see how the backstory progresses

You dedicate your whole life to your craft only for you to realize later that someone is born with the talents and gifts you worked your ass off to obtain. I think Koku was okay at first with all of it but his jealousy probably reached its peak when he realized that Yoriichi has been helping their mother all along, something he never realized for himself.

I mean it's kinda unfair that Yoriichi is born with all the powerups you could possibly obtain lol. He was even seeing the "see-through world" at such a young age. The great thing is that Yoriichi never got corrupted by it. The mysteries of the original breath user is building up.

That subjective and depends on who is reading. But for me
not really. Only bad guys that was really good is Gyutarou, Daki, Rui, Akaza and Muzan and koku for me. Koku reason aren t justified he is still pretty good

But good guys have Tanjirou, Shinobu, zenitsu, inosuke, Giyu and Muichirou. All this guys have very good character development and backstory. Kanao pretty good as well despite lack of timescreen.

You are right about it being subjective.
In my opinion the demons usually get a better backstory (although there is exception).
But in general most of the characters (both demons, demon slayers and the rest) gets a really good backstory and character development.

I think it looks that way because the Moons generally had a harder life as humans which led them to being tempted to become a demon in the first place.

Yorichi is really a born genius that made the breathing techniques eh cannot wait for how he invented the various breathing techniques if the next chapters will show that

i like how this manga emphasizes that talent exceeds hard work lol that is rare for a battle shonen that focuses on hard work alone can make you stronger

You misinterpreted. She had an illness that slowly caused the left side of her body to become weak. He would cling to her left side to help support her because she was too weak to walk by herself.

He didn't create the other breathing techniques. Those we're all created by others to match their sword style.

ye sure i just mean that he is the original breath user that other samurais have begun developing other breath styles just because of the so called rumors about him i guess

There was only one breath technique as first, maybe two if Koku also have his own. other Style is deprive from the first breath, like a tree have multiple brands.

I'm pretty curious about the Moon Breathing Style that Koku is using. I feel like there's more to it than an inferior version of the original breath like the others since it's an obvious parallel to Yoriichi's Breath of the Sun. Now that more are being revealed, I feel like it's a waste to kill off Koku this early since he's such an important character being a direct sibling to the original breath user.

ye that too its like there is no time for Koku to learn about sun breathing or there is no chance for him to learn sun breathing given that he is so envious of his genius brother that his pride will not let him learn that original breath style so i guess moon breathing style is his own invention

Tanjiro might remember through inherited memory (or genetic memory that already happened in some old chapters) what happened in the past too on how the sun breathing was pass down to their family

I definitely like Kokushibou backstory better than Akaza's or Douma's one but as a character, I still like Akaza and Douma better than Kokushibou.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

We still got a little information whether or not yoriichi invented the breathing technique, maybe as a child it was natural for him to use the said technique. Remember that Inousuke's breathing style is a self taught style. Just sharing my thought lol...

Imagine dedicating yourself on a single thing for years only for someone whom you saw as just a fragile boy who couldn't leave his mothers side, sit and just watch around the place throw all that aside and surpass something you couldn't even begin to imagine.. that realization is brutal especially for a kid.
I feel for Yorichi tho, as much as Koku wanted to become a strong samurai, Yoriichi wanted nothing but the best for his brother, a fcking flute that his brother made for him was more than enough to give him the courage to venture of into the unknown all alone as a damn kid, I know he's a freak of nature but the mentality to take that up was something else.

Koku may have misunderstood the emotionless expression of Yorichi there since Tanjiros father was also emotionless due to mastering the see through world breathing technique so maybe being emotionless is a symptom of mastering the sun breathing

Idk, somehow this backstory didn't impacted me like previous ones have. Maybe Gotouge doesn't want us to feel pity for him, just watch his past so we understand that he didn't want to become a physical monster.

What an unbelievable lovingly character and pityable character those twins are.

Yoriichi is such a cute boy. Protecting his mother, cherishing his brother and sitting through basically being excluded from the family for 7 years.

And then there's Michikatsu, who only looked down on his younger brother, didn't care at all for his mother (I mean, if he truly cared he would've noticed at some point how weak she is and not be that surprised when Yoriichi told him) and couldn't handle kindness it seems
How he changed from 'looking down on his younger brother' to 'madly hating/being jealous of his brother' makes him not the least bit likeable for me. It's actually pretty sad.

Really cool backstory overall ngl
Now I wanna know how life went for the others that were born with a mark

So is it safe to assume that this is the origin of the mark and the Sun Breath? I mean, nobody knew about it. People thought Yoriichi was a freak and they planned to kill him because of that.

I think it looks that way because the Moons generally had a harder life as humans which led them to being tempted to become a demon in the first place.
Another thing I saw someone mention once is how their hardships tend to have been caused by other humans, in contrast with the demon hunters that have demons to blame.

Makes sense that the misfortune in the lives of the demons were caused by other humans rather than demons, because then it wouldn't make a lot of sense for them to then choose to become demons after that.

Jealously is one negative emotion that slowly devours a human's heart. Especially when suddenly roles are reversed or suddenly someone who was thought to be weak and brittle ia actually powerful and wise.

Yoriichi had a huge talent. It explains how his Breath was not only the first, but apparently the strongest against demons. It is understandable, since it us based on the Sun which is deadly for demons.

@Illyricus , same did I. Kokushibou is really interesting as a character and it would be cool to learn more about his past and rivalry with his talented twin brother.
