Hey, fellow anime enthusiasts! In today’s article let’s dive into something that’s been bugging me lately: are our favorite characters in Demon Slayer getting enough screen time? You know, the show that took the anime world by storm with its stunning visuals, killer soundtrack, and those epic battles.
But sometimes, I can’t help but feel like some characters are just not getting their moment in the spotlight. Let’s break it down and see if our beloved characters are really getting the screen time they deserve.

The Main Cast: Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Gang
First up, let’s talk about Tanjiro. The guy is the heart and soul of the series, right? His journey from a kind-hearted boy to a demon slayer is one heck of a ride. But here’s the thing: while Tanjiro is definitely the main character, sometimes it feels like the spotlight is too narrow.
There are moments when I wish we could see more of his inner struggles or just a bit more of his everyday life before the demon slaying got real. It’s like, we know he’s strong and all, but what’s going on in his head?
And then there’s Nezuko. She’s the adorable, silent powerhouse who’s kicking demon butt while looking super cute.
But, honestly, there are episodes where she’s just… there. I mean, she’s an important part of Tanjiro’s journey, but I sometimes feel like she gets sidelined a bit. Her fights are always epic, but we need more of those moments that show her personality and her bond with Tanjiro beyond the typical “sister-in-danger” trope.

The Pillars: Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the Rest
Now, let’s talk about Zenitsu and Inosuke. These two are like the comic relief and the fierce fighter, respectively. Zenitsu, with his freakouts and lightning-fast sword moves, is hilarious, but I feel like we don’t get enough depth to his character.
Yeah, his fears and his love for Nezuko are funny, but I’d love to see more of his backstory and what makes him tick. He’s got potential for some seriously emotional moments that I feel are just brushed over.
Inosuke, on the other hand, is the wild child of the group. His boar head and crazy fighting style are iconic. But sometimes, it feels like his background is just a mystery we never get to fully explore. Like, who is he really behind that crazy facade?
We see him grow, but there’s so much more depth to his character that could be explored. Imagine some episodes dedicated to his past or his relationship with his mother. That would be gold!
The Side Characters: Who’s Missing Out?
Let’s not forget about the other characters who make Demon Slayer so rich. Characters like Kanao, Shinobu, and even some of the lower-ranked demon slayers who’ve shown some serious potential.
Kanao’s background is super intriguing, and Shinobu’s mysterious aura is always a treat, but do we get enough of them? Sometimes, it feels like they’re just there to support the main plot, without their stories getting the attention they deserve.
And let’s talk about the villains too. Muzan Kibutsuji and his crew are some of the coolest, most terrifying villains ever. But again, we see them mostly in action and not much in terms of backstory or depth. It’s like we know they’re bad, but why are they bad? What makes them tick? A bit more backstory here could make them even scarier and more compelling.
Wrapping It Up: Are We Getting Enough?
So, are our favorite characters getting enough screen time? Honestly, Demon Slayer does an amazing job with its main plot and some of its characters, but there’s definitely room for more. More backstory, more character development, and more moments that make us fall in love with these characters all over again.
In the end, Demon Slayer is a masterpiece, but like any good show, it could always use a bit more love for the characters who make it so special.
What do you guys think? Which character do you feel is getting the short end of the stick? Let me know in the comments! Let’s geek out together and see if we can get our favorite characters the screen time they truly deserve!
