9 “I want to change. I want to become a competent person.”
Spoken by Zenitsu Agatsuma
At the beginning of Demon Slayer, Zenitsu was an extremely nervous person, suffocated by fear. He was hesitant to become a Demon Slayer and was convinced that he would not pass the Final Selection. He has overcome challenges, but he also continues to have them many outbursts of fear whenever he encounters a demon for quite some time.

8 “Even if I lose my memories, my body will remember that anger will not leave me until I die.”
Spoken by Muichiro Tokito
Muichiro Tokito's tragic story is full of suffering, and he hides this pain under his usual stern and reserved expression. His twin brother was murdered by a demon. Muichiro unfortunately suffered some form of amnesia, completely forgetting the experience, but his body still remembered his rage.
This deep anger motivated Muichiro to continue slaughtering demons mercilessly, making them pay for what happened to his brother. What's quite powerful is that even though he forgot the details of the specific incident that happened, Rage is a permanent part of his soul. He is virtually unstoppable because of the strong side of his personality and will certainly never give up, no matter what demon challenges him.
7 “The bond between Nezuko and I… Cannot… be severed by anyone!”
Spoken by Tanjiro Kamado
Nezuko and Tanjiro have the strongest brotherly bond of any sibling duo in anime. Even when Nezuko became a bloodthirsty demon, she was still able to resist her demonic instincts enough to not harm her beloved brother. Tanjiro carries her in a wooden box on his back, desperately trying to find a way to turn her back into a human.
During the search for a cure for Nezuko, many demons as well as humans threatened to kill one or both siblings. However, they always protect each other and stand up for each other no matter what. If even Nezuko becoming a demon couldn't ruin their relationship then it seems nothing can separate these two iconic anime brothers.
6 “No matter how strong someone is, they can still feel pain and sadness. But avoiding it won't solve anything. You have to pick up your aching heart and stand up.”
Spoken by Zenitsu Agatsuma
Zenitsu is surprisingly thoughtful and profound in this Demon Slayer quote. He comments on the nature of pain and observes that running away from these negative feelings will not help in the long run. What's more important is to keep fighting despite the pain, while working to heal it.
Zenitsu is definitely a character who lives by the words of this quote every day of his life. No matter how severely he was beaten by the demons or how many people abandoned him, he never gave up the fight. Zenitsu's determination to continue improving himself and charging headlong into battle, even when he is scared or uncertain, is one of his most motivating traits.
5 “Even when you think you are miserable and unworthy… You still have to keep living!”
Spoken by Inosuke Hashibira
Inosuke is usually a man of few words, instead choosing to solve his problems with force. Though, he offers some shocking words of wisdom sometimes. In this quote, he urges his teammates to move forward despite any insecurities or feelings of lack of confidence.
The boar-headed hero often has an almost cocky personality, but he is a person who truly cares and fights bravely for others. He offers inspirational quotes like this one to everyone around him, inspiring them to never give up, even though the experience of living in a world haunted by demons is often quite hopeless. This character, who often serves as comedic relief, is surprisingly more real and motivated than anyone initially expected him to be.
4 “I must pass on what has been entrusted to me. I will never let my family and friends die before my eyes again.”
Spoken by Giyu Tomioka
Giyu Tomioka was very unhappy when he lost both his younger sister Tsutako and his close friend Sabito at a very young age. Both were brutally murdered by demons, leaving Giyuu with an indescribable sense of guilt and grief. Only with Tanjiro's help can he gradually overcome the trauma surrounding the deaths.
In this quote, the resilient hero expressed his dedication to never let anyone close to him die under his watch again. This is truly a noble and noble mission most people would agree with his goal of protecting those he loves. Although he may be a reserved character, Giyu definitely has a kind heart deep down.
3 “I will fulfill my duty! I will not allow anyone here to die!”
Spoken by Kyojuro Rengoku
Rengoku certainly fulfilled his promise in this quote, tragically dying to keep Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke safe from the Third-Class Demon, Akaza. It was quite a close battle but unfortunately the demon won, ending the life of the beloved Fire Hashira. Although unfortunately he passed away, His memory lives on through Tanjiro and the other Hashira.
His positive influence has made everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps fight harder and more motivated to continue their legacy of bravely slaying demons. Rengoku promised not to let innocent lives be lost under his watch. This upright quality makes him a perfect role model about what an ideal Hashira or Demon Hunter should be like.
2 “Muzan Kibutsuji! I won't let you escape! No matter where you go, you can't escape!”
Spoken by Tanjiro Kamado
Tanjiro has good reason to hate Muzan, considering him the most evil demon. The evil demon even killed Tanjiro's family, giving the Demon Slayer more motivation to take down the Demon King. In this quote, Tanjiro promises to hunt down Muzan and end his reign of terror at any cost.
Muzan is also a threat to Tanjiro's beloved sister, Nezuko. Since Nezuko conquered the sun, Muzan will most likely plan an attack on the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters in hopes of stealing her new and unique skill for his own evil purposes. Thankfully, as can be seen in this quote, Tanjiro would never let this happen without a fight.
1 “The powerful pure rage of unforgiveness will become your unshakable force for action!”
Spoken by Giyu Tomioka
Because Giyu has suffered many losses in his life, losing both family and friends to demons, he knows very well how difficult it is to forgive evil creatures. However, he considers his inability to look past the gruesome actions of the demons as a valuable asset in battle. His hatred of demons makes him even stronger and fight more fiercely.
With his uniquely powerful Water Breathing Technique and unbridled rage stemming from his disdain for demons, he one of Demon Slayer's strongest heroes. Giyu is a good example for young Demon Slayers like Tanjiro. He wisely taught them to fight with all their strength and allowed their past negative and tragic experiences with demons to fuel them to fight even harder.
