I run a blog that introduces Japanese animation and its relationship to Japanese culture.
If you are interested, please read a lot.
You can find post updates on twitter and instagram. Please follow me on twitter and instagram.
①Original story of the HASHIRA
This is based on the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.
The ranks of the Demon Slayer Corps are the “ten signs of the Chinese zodiac,” the same ones that were handed down with the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.
In addition, there is also a boar, no matter how you look at it, so if you apply the rest, they all fit perfectly, and we know who the lord of the mansion is.
②What animals are in the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac?
Do you know what animals are in the twelve animal signs?
The answer is mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, chinese dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and wild boar.
③The Twelve Zodiac Signs and Hashira
1.Mouse
The name of mouse (Japanese pronunciation is “ne”) is just like that of Nezuko. mouses are also used as a medium for transmitting diseases, as in the case of the Black Death, and mouses are also used as experimental subjects in research on diseases. This is also the role of Nezuko, who went back and forth between demon and human, and rushed to the end, just like the legend of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac, which says that the first to arrive at the beginning of the year is the one who announces the beginning of the year.
- Ox
This is the rock Hashira Gyomei Himejima. He is usually a quiet and collected person, but when his anger reaches its peak, he unleashes the power of a raging bull.
- Tiger
This is Kyojuro Rengoku, the Fire Hshira. His hair looks like a tiger, and the way he reaches the peak of his skill is also tiger-like. In addition, there is an anecdote about the tiger in the Chinese Zodiac story, where the tiger was not able to become the best because it was half-believed, and Rengoku was also half-believed about Nezuko at first.
4.Rabbit
This is Shinobu Kotyo, the insect Hashira. This is because of her way of life. It is said that rabbits die when they are lonely. Shinobu also lived a lonely life like a rabbit.
- Dragon
This is Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira. It is said that a boy with genius qualities is called a “dragon child,” and that a dragon child, though small, often brings rain. Mist Hashira’s genius is the result of being the son of a dragon.
- Snake
I don’t think I need to explain. This is the Snake Hashira, Iguro Obanai.
- Horse
This is Kanroji Mitsuri, the Love Hashira. The word “horsepower” or “100,000 horsepower” is used to describe the power of a person many times over. It may also be said to be next to a snake.
- Sheep
This is Sound Hashira, Uzui Tengen. You may think that Uzui is not like sheep , but they are very noisy. Also, this may be a complication, but the thick wool reminds me of an explosion.
- Saru
This is Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira. His fighting style is ape-like. There is also a saying in Japanese, “Dogs and monkeys do not get along. And Giyu Tomioka is dog.
- Rooster
This is Zenitsu Agatsuma. This is probably because he is a “chicken-hearted coward”. However, just as there is cockfighting, chickens do it when they have to.
- Dog
This is the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka. He was a man of loyalty, and even if he had doubts, he would obey for the time being, like a dog. He does not get along well with the monkeys (wind pillars).
12.Wild boar
Inosuke Hashibira. I don’t think I need to explain this one either.
God (Amaterasu)
The Ubuyashiki family has probably had the character “輝” in their name for generations. They also use “crow” as their messenger. This is probably the family of Amaterasu. The twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac were gathered by God by calling out to the animals. In other words, the man who gathered the twelve signs of the zodiac is God (Amaterasu).
Extra
So what about him? I think he is a “person” who continues to fight the disease without fail.
In fact, The Twelve Kizuki is based on the motif of illness.
I thought about using charcoal as a sterilizing material, but that would be too weak to fight cancer and disease.
Besides, Muzan said that Tanjiro could take over. It would be people who can become cancer cells.
At the end
This time I introduced the original story of Hashira.
If there is anything else you would like to know, please let us know in the comments on the SNS.
