Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc episode #2 sees Tanjiro discover the "secret weapon" hidden in the Swordsmith Village; a battle training doll called Yoriichi Type Zero.
As the battle reached its climax, Tanjiro was able to knock the doll's head off and discovered that the mechanical body contained a mysterious sword. Fans of the manga will recognize this sword as the one carried by Yoriichi Tsugikuni himself.
This legendary Nichirin blade is the prize for anyone capable enough to defeat the Yoriichi Type Zero doll, hence, the new owner is Tanjiro. Haganezuka claims that this blade is remarkably unbreakable, reflecting the skills of the former owner.
It is a rare blade and represents the sun; it also holds a theory that the demon slayers who own this sword are not to live a long life. Black swords are also supposed to hold all the colors, which means Tanjiro is to find his way through all colors and breathing techniques.
Demon Salyer Season 3 has given Tanjiro a mysterious new sword – one that will hopefully better prepare him for the fights against the Upper Rank demons that are now gunning for him and the rest of the Demon Slayers.
Tanjiro Kamado wields a black Nichirin blade, but the symbolism of such a sword was initially unknown. Black blades are seen as a rarity, as demon slayers who wield them are doomed to die young. No wielder of a black sword has ever become a Hashira, either. However, this is all superstition.
Thanks to Muzan, the demon form of Tanjiro has the fastest regeneration and the strength to avert all physical attacks. Moreover, just like his sister Nezuko, Tanjiro acquires resistance against the sun, making him completely invincible against any human.
Of course, the one who takes the top spot in terms of the best swords in Demon Slayer is Tanjiro's black Nichirin blade. Although Tanjiro started out as a Water Breathing user, his Nichirin sword turned black instead of blue, and that surprised him because black swords are said to indicate bad luck.
The strongest Demon Slayer to have ever lived, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, similar to Tanjiro, had one of the rarest sword colors out there. His Nichirin sword is of an obsidian black color, which is a bad sign in the Demon Slayer world that would signify a short life, however, he lived to be old.
When Tanjiro first got his Nichirin Sword on Demon Slayer, and it changed color to match the personality of its user like all Nichirin weapons do, many fans were surprised that Tanjiro's katana turned black.
In an interesting turn of events, as mentioned above, Tanjiro later uses the flame handguard from Rengoku's sword on the legendary Yoriichi sword he finds during the Swordsmith Village arc.
But if we are talking about the human form, then it's a big fat NO, because Tanjiro has just mastered the Sun Breathing whereas Yoriichi is the inventor of it, also he's way more powerful and holds an unfathomable battle intellect, larger than any Demon Slayer in history, so in conclusion, no one is remotely close to ...
During episode three we learned that the Yoriichi Type Zero was built by Kontetsu's ancestors more than 300 years ago, during the Sengoku era.
Towards the final arcs of the manga, Tanjiro is mortally wounded and dies during a fight with the Demon King Muzan. Though Muzan is also seriously injured, he uses the last of his powers to turn Tanjiro into a demon.
Thirteenth Form
This move was devised by Tanjiro solely to defeat Muzan. After all, the twelve hearts that Muzan could move around his body needed to be downed in one fell swoop, which is why Tanjiro resorted to this powerful technique.
Gon is far stronger than Tanjiro, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Gon would defeat the demon slayer with ease. Tanjiro may be a master of water and flame breathing, but Gon's nen and raw physical powers truly pack a punch.
However, the scar changed its appearance during the Final Selection when the Hand Demon gave Tanjiro a major blow to the head. The blow not only increased the size of his scar but changed its colour as well. The scar changed even more when Tanjiro fought against Gyutaro and Daki during the Entertainment District arc.
Tanjiro's Current Demon Slayer Rank Is Kanoe
Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke have moved from Mizunoto up to Kanoe due to their exploits. Murata, the Demon Slayer, who was almost digested on Mount Nagumo, is also a Kanoe.
Mitsuri Kanroji is another Hashira who Tanjiro could definitely beat in Demon Slayer. Mitsuri's main trick up her sleeve is her muscle composition, which makes her muscles eight times denser than that of a normal human. In other words, she's incredibly strong and powerful, and tough with plenty of endurance as well.
Overall Abilities: Despite not being a Demon Slayer and having a tragic disease that makes his body incredibly frail, Tanjuro was shown to be a phenomenally strong individual. He was able to slay a bear nearly nine feet tall with a single axe at speeds magnitudes faster than the blink of an eye.
The sword is primarily black, but it turns crimson red when the Breath of the Sun God (strongest breathing style) is used by both Tanjiro as well as Yoriichi. As was mentioned in manga, very little is known about Black Nichirin swords, but it is definitely something that made Kibutsuji Muzan quiver in fear.
8) Muzan hates being called pale or dead
Muzan is the most powerful demon in the entire series, and is responsible for creating all demons. For someone who considers himself to be perfect, it is natural that he will hate being called pale or dead. This is established quite early on.
Taught to him by Sakonji during his training in the mountains, it is one of the five main styles derived from Sun Breathing. Though Tanjiro succeeds in making use of Water Breathing throughout the early parts of his adventure, he eventually discovers that he's better suited for Sun Breathing instead.
