Fans of popular media love to compare their personality test results with those of their favorite characters, one of the most popular being the enneagram. It is important to know exactly what type of enneagram is when considering the personality of each character. There are nine personality types included in this scale, which take into account behavior, values, and thought processes when assigning a type to any person.
Each demon slayer – or demon, as it happens – approaches life differently. From the Extroverted Challenger Tengen Uzui to the Introverted Individualist Giyuu Tomioka, their behavior and personality fit one of the nine enneagram types.
9 Sanemi Shinazugawa – Type 1, Perfectionist
Wind Hashira lives her life, imposing strict rules on herself and others, seeing the world in black and white. In his view, all demons are evil and must be destroyed, and so must all those who stand in his way. Anomalies like Nezuko shock and anger him, he is willing to hurt and push his only surviving Genya brother away to protect him, refusing to explain himself to Genya even when that doesn’t work.
Healthy Type People can be both disciplined and rational in their personal opinion. However, Sanemi has been shaped too much by past trauma and has placed too much responsibility on her shoulders since childhood to reach that point. Instead, he relies entirely on the principles he sets for himself, becoming rigid and even cruel in enforcing them.
8 Tanjiro Kamado – Type 2, Helper
Despite his great strength, Tanjiro never had the ambition to become a warrior. He was content to live a life selling coal to support his mother and siblings, but Muzan’s massacre of his family and Nezuko’s fate forced him onto the path of Demon Slayer. Although more dangerous, it also suits him, allowing him to become strong enough to protect everyone he can.
Type Twos often help others to seek praise or acceptance of their shortcomings, but Tanjiro is simply generous by nature, valuing peace, friends, and especially family above all else. Warm and bright as the fire he learned to wield, his kindness endeared him to almost everyone he met. He is slow to anger towards acts that belittle himself – much to Genya’s confusion – but the fastest way to anger him is to be cruel to others, or worse, to hurt someone he loves, even in front of him.
7 Mitsuri Kanroji – Type 3, Successful People
Successful people work hard day in and day out to achieve their goals, but the goal itself is not always what they truly want from their efforts. They seek self-affirmation and acceptance from others, and above all, belonging to just one person. They love others and are often loved for their efforts.
Mitsuri struggles with the things she loves to do and be, from her strength and appetite to her unnatural hair color, and the shame she experiences because of them. She is competent but nervous, worried about what others think of her and how well she performs as a Hashira. The more she enjoys fighting, the more she wants to find her other half and is afraid that no one will love her like she does.
6 Giyuu Tomioka – Type 4, Individualist
At their best, Fours are individualistic and creative, able to admit and combat their own flaws effectively. They tend to be reserved and quiet, meaning they often internalize even the strongest emotions. As such, if they are not careful in focusing too much on the negative things in life, it can exhaust them.
Emotionally, Giyuu is never at his best. Still grieving the death of Sabito, whom he believed would have been a better Water Hashira, and isolating himself from his fellow Demon Slayers, he was drawn into an eternal spiral of self-loathing. Despite the power of Water Breath, Giyuu believes himself to be less valuable than his fellow Hashira, keeping him separate from them both in his mind and in their interactions, and never talking about his reasons. due.
5 Muzan Kibutsuji – Category 5, Investigator
Powerful and intelligent Type Fives like Muzan have the ability to change the world with their thirst for knowledge and brilliant innovations. Unfortunately, Muzan lives up to his name, being 100% selfish and cruel in his quest to find what he wants to know. So he actively makes the world worse by creating demons in his hunt for the blue spider lily and how to conquer the sun.
Even as a human, Muzan resented things beyond his reach, killing his own doctor for not knowing how to cure his illness and the fact that he would die like everyone else. He avoids connections with humans and demons, only using them for his own gain, and handles them roughly when he’s done. He never relaxes, lets down his guard, or trusts anyone he ever meets: his world is narrowed to himself and his own goals.
4 Kyojuro Rengoku – Type 6, Loyal
Sixes don’t just earn the title of Loyalist through their strong friendships and family relationships. They can always be trusted and want to make sure that others are safe and taken care of before they think of themselves. Passionate and determined, they can never stray from their principles and goals.
One of the strongest Hashira, Rengoku is intense in everything he does, is nonetheless easy to get along with, and is a loyal son and brother to Shinjuro and Senjuro. Behind his smile, he is deeply concerned for the well-being of his family and quickly becomes the guardian of the younger Demon Slayers under his command. Although the battle with the evil Akaza did not go smoothly for him, Akaza was still impressed by how strongly Rengoku defended his belief in the worth of people.
3 Inosuke Hashibira – Type 7, Enthusiast
If anyone exudes enthusiasm in Demon Slayer, it’s Inosuke. The fact that he often wears a wild boar mask and has a harsh voice like his typical voice is just the tip of the iceberg. New to living among humans and determined to prove his strength to the other warriors around, Inosuke is curious about everything and is always ready to fight.
Type Sevens are highly intelligent and motivated, but are held back by impulsivity and lack of focus. They don’t like slowing down or standing still, mentally or physically. Like Inosuke, they are brave, fearless, and rarely overwhelmed by anxiety: they can overcome them. However, they need to learn not to overuse it, as Inosuke discovers when there are more opponents than he can handle without his friends.
2 Tengen Uzui – Type 8, Challenger
Like the average Scorpio, Tengen Uzui is an independent spirit who displays his strength and pomp to everyone he meets. He refused to conform to the social structure and expectations of the shinobi clan he grew up in, took his wife, and freely joined the Demon Slayer Corps. Almost always bold and resilient, Tengen will only admit his weaknesses to his beloved wives and very rarely do.
People of Type 8 are called Challengers because they are most likely to look at adversity and headbutt it. They are physically and mentally tough, although this often conceals a deep fear of losing what is precious to them, especially in the Recreation Section, where Tengen displays impatience. , ostentation and intimidation characteristic of this type of person.
1 Kagaya Ubayashiki – Type 9, Mediator
Type Nines often have people-pleasing problems and become complacent in times of need to avoid conflict. They may have difficulty acknowledging and solving problems. Kagaya strives to find a healthy balance, trying to keep the Demon Slayer Corps running smoothly while maintaining composure and authority. He remains calm and steadfast when some people are unhappy with his decisions, such as some of the Hashira being shocked that he let Nezuko live.
As his family has done for generations, Kagaya is willing to risk his life and limbs to lead the Demon Slayer Corps and protect humanity from evil. Although he cannot use the Nichirin Blade, his intellect is also a powerful weapon. He forges close connections with everyone under his command, making him a universally beloved figure for every Demon Slayer and uniting them in his desire to work together to please him and complete their mission.
Everyone’s approach to other people and adverse situations is different, sometimes very different. The Enneagram scale attempts to classify these behaviors and experiences into distinct personality types.
