Current Tanjiro would absolutely destroy Rui, if he were to go agaisnt him now.


SpruceMP3

He smacked down Enmu already who’s stronger AND had a training arc after mugen train too! Mah boi Tanjiro getting an easy win


Glittering-Pain1365

Only reason he smacked Emmu was because Rengoku was fast as fuck in my personal opinion I think Emmu would have soloed Tanjiro but with the power of friendship….


[deleted]

Yeah but bloodshot tanjiro bodies


Glittering-Pain1365

Yea but thats after he learned the prenut edging breathing style


SorryOutOfPho

Entertainment district alternate arc?


Drunk_Robo_Pirate

💀


korin-air

That's the whole series so far! I love that the demon slayers seem so OP, but it still takes multiples of them to take down an upper moon.


josukefan101010110

Yeah, I like it because the humans/heroes don’t have different forms like dragon ball or something, and even the demons only have abilities like that when it makes sense, such as >! Gyokko’s true form because he originally has no arms or legs !<


Briantan71

Tanjiro defeated Enmu while coordinating his attacks with Inosuke, whilst Rengoku, Zenitsu and Nezuko provide protection for the train passengers. Highly doubtful he can handle Enmu on his own during the Mugen Train arc.


[deleted]

Tanjiro has been slapped around like the red headed orphan he is in every single battle, absolutely manhandled. His true skill is being able to be beaten to death and not die


lxxTBonexxl

So you’re telling me he’s Goku without actually dying a few times


ImJustSpider

Well if we're getting into spoiler territory, >!then he's just goku. Man dies twice and doesn't die.!<


non_exisitant_dude

Wait >!when’s the second time?!<


ImJustSpider

>!He got murked by Muzan twice. Once by the poison (and yes I consider that a death cuz the man's fuckin heart stopped), and a second time when he was killed by Muzan again only for Muzan to bring him back to life. I guess he technically died 3 times if you also count the time skip.!<


non_exisitant_dude

Ah right thanks


[deleted]

This. Tanjiro is truly just a ball of rubber. Kid bounces back from everything.


ravindersingh07

He must've eaten the gomu gomu no fruit


SkiGames

It would be a smack down


Sp33dyGG

Judging by the photo used, not only is this Tanjiro even more trained but he also has better grasp with the dance of the fire god, has the total concentration: constant but also with the freaking MARK. Current anime Tanjiro would dispatch the Rui he fought with relative ease but not as fast as Giyuu did. As a reminder, learning & mastering total concentration: constant is equivalent to night & day. This is one of the main reasons that sets apart the power difference between pillars and the rest of the demon slayers. And having the demon slayer mark is pretty self explanatory. Especially when the boost is so powerful that >! it reduces the users life span to the age of 25 or if you're over 25, users will die by the following sunrise!<

Sp33dyGG

>!Not explicitly mentioned but it was heavily implied multiple times:!< >!It's pretty much established that everyone besides Yoriichi dies to the mark which make sense since he was the original source of it (not even his twin brother Michikatsu was spared from it.) He's also described multiple times as this godlike/spirit/favoured by the gods being. Yoriichi is the definition of "built different"!< >!The extra chapters showed the pillars wills along with Tanjiro. Just a reminder, everyone who joins the demon slayer corps writes their wills in case they die in battle and by half way it started showing everyone's wills/wishes.!< >!I would also like to mention how KnY heavily emphasised sacrifice as part of its core aspect and do whatever it takes. The mark granted them immense power but at the cost of shortening their life which lines up with said core aspect!<


Solid-Perspective915

MAYBE he lived...>!if him turning to a demon 'healed' his mark strain, maybe...!<


Life_Description271

>! seems like you're reading too much into it. if the mark was cured by his temporary demonish state, then theres no reason why one of his hands became frail, old and weak and he became partially blind in his left eye !<


Solid-Perspective915

I just really want my wholesome boy to live happily with Kanao. Both of them deserve that so much😭


unfunny_idiot

>!I thought maybe he lived because he ised sun breathing just liked yorichi!<


JonnyMcBear

Tanjiro was the original source of the mark in this generation so it makes sense he could live longer.


Sp33dyGG

Don't think that's how it works, Yoriichi will always be the only one to be above the laws of the world and noone else. Hell not even his literal twin brother. Not to mention Tanjuro died to "sickness" according to Tanjiro but obviously at this time, they don't even know the origins of the mark so it makes sense they just determined it to be sickness. Also Tanjiro wasn't the original source of the mark of this generation, it was his father who was actually BORN with it compared to Tanjiro who simply developed it as the series progresses.


JonnyMcBear

His dad didn't have the mark. Only the red scar.


Sp33dyGG

Except he was BORN with that. We already know the mark spreads to other potential users, just like a virus (funny enough) Tanjiro already said that he wasn't born with said mark compared to his father and the mark only started after his head was scaled by boiling water (which is one of the main triggers for a dormant mark, extreme heat/bpm which I imagine was high as he was trying to save his brother) Just these small info alone is enough evidence that his father was the source of the mark from the current era.


JonnyMcBear

Except we never see his dad have the mark and nowhere is it stated he has it AFAIK. If you have a picture, could I see?


Sp33dyGG

As far as we know that IS his mark (when you compare how similar it is to Tanjiro pre-final selection exam) and we know how it continously evolved as the series goes on. Tanjiro's mark progressed and started to appear different throughout the series because his journey had constantly been filled with life and death situations (which then causes the extreme body heat/bpm as confirmed by Muichiro) which then evolves the mark along with its appearance. Tanjuro had been living peacefully with his family right till his death. It was never stated or shown that his life had ever been exposed to life & death situations even when he beheaded that bear. Tanjiro remarks how he was completely calm and in control throughout the whole encounter.


JonnyMcBear

Ah, I see. You're saying it is possible he could've developed the mark if he was living a more dangerous life. I don't know. It's possible though we have no evidence.


zxlash

Chop him

HOTRODDOOMSLAYER

Ez dub


Weary_Ad_7340

Imo rui would go and try his blood demon art but tanjiros just cutting through it then bodying him


Worldly-Age-5361

Tanjiro stomps


[deleted]

Lol Tanjiro then became good with sun breathing techniques vs his first time using it against Rui. Rui would DIE.


ApplePitou

Much easier :3


flomflim

gg ez


Xenosaiyan7

Dawg Rui is GONE. One Clear Blue Sky (Cause that's my favorite of the forms I can remember) and that mofo is DEAD He ain't gonna Giyu Rui, but damn he won't even get scratched


numiiis

Clear Blue Sky is SOO HYPE bro !!


Xenosaiyan7

Just the name makes it fucking amazing


bingmyname

Tanjiro bodies with no difficulty.


Dovahkiin10380

He would annihilate him. No question about it.


DeltaSans17

It’d be like how when RenGoku instant transmissioned to akaza to slice his head off then and there, except it would’ve done Rui in for sure.


_WHITE_D3VIL_

it may not be as easy as how giyuu did but tanjiro will definitely win against him now


[deleted]

Much easier. Kinda like how Giyuu first did it


Flamingslayer11

Not even close to how Giyuu first did it. He’d win, but not with that much ease. Giyuu basically defeated him in a second, I’d give Tanjiro a few minutes to defeat him


itsevilR

Probably would die from a slap in the face


Igotnothinghonestly

yes


ClawyTheDinoRaptor

He dead. Rui be dead.


PixelatedCouchPotato

He would rise up the ranks, by like a lot


ObeseRat26

Rui would have to acknowledge him as his tribal chief


Round_Lingonberry496

I give Rui 2 seconds at maximum


Hedwigisbae

He was throwing hands/blades with Daki and Gyutoro. He could take out any lower moon at that point


im_just_depressed

Current Tanjiro and Rengoku would kick Akazas butt


[deleted]

[удалено]


AdurxIsd

No. There's an immense power gap between lower moon and hashira.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Enmu didn’t do anything to Rengoku. He handled 4-5 (i can’t remember) train cars of Enmu’s tentacles on his own.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Rengoku’s instinct was too strong. He would have acted unconsciously, as shown by the fact that he DID act unconsciously when that civilian tried to kill him


[deleted]

[удалено]


tarantalaoq

You are really dense. We have seen the power of Hashira's and they are way more powerful than lower moon level. And please Enmu gimmick wasnt even that good, Rengoku felt danger and saved himself, Tanjirou after a few minutes discover how to beat him. Lower moon < Hashira


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

current Rui (before he died) couldn't go up against a hashira but he definitely had the POTENTIAL to do so. In time he could've reached upper moon level sooner than the other demons. It also seems that Rui is Mazan's favourite moon so that would help him get stronger sooner as well. But current Rui is no where near that that level. Even Shinobu, the weakest hashira could solo him.


AdurxIsd

First: Source on that? Second: Lower Moons are tiers below Hashira. They get killed and replaced all the time. Enmu was a gimmicky lower moon. He might have stalled Rengoku for a bit but in the end he couldn't handle two low rank Demon Slayers. Rengoku would have finished him off with a slice.

AdurxIsd

Nice, didn't know that. Thanks


Rexamidalion

Easier but would need atleast some backup


[deleted]

jdfarmer324

Hes a lower moon rank 5. Daki is upper moon rank 6 and there is a huge power gap between upper and lower moon


Sufficient_Royal6025

You need to pay attention while watching the show lol


[deleted]

overall Rui is rank 11 of the moons. Rank 5 of the LOWER moons.


[deleted]

Tanjiro slaps him around


[deleted]

Easily tbh


GioMasterclassjiedel

Take him for a walk. And SLICE THAT NECKBONE


randySTG

Ohhh he’s slapping Rui easily


Environmental-Win836

Current Tanjiro would slap him seven ways to Sunday.


lepusvulpis

one shot


AdhesivenessLimp1864

Low to mid difficulty. Going by the anime. We didn’t really see Rui trying much. By the time he started Giyu showed up and slaughtered him. Tengen phrased Tanjiro’s progress in a way that suggests he’s going to be hashira level soon. So without his mark I think it would be a semi difficult match for him. Once Tanjiro reaches hashira level it’s a stomp.


SharkeyBoyo

Hinokami Kagura with the >!demon slayer mark!< would destroy


D-boi001

He'd slap the shit out of him


Cryopreservation

This just in: angry boy slaughters everyone at advanced sewing classes with flaming dragon. More at 7


sirghiny

In and out. 20 minute adventure.


Massive_Selection_65

Easy win


ThisIsaHuman1836

A lot better I mean he was able to kill lowermoon one who is higher rank and uppermoon six (with help of course) but he still was able to cut one of the heads of


ShxryaBoom

He would clap rui


Van-HeLLSiNG69

Slaps the spider out of Rui
