Zenitsu Agatsuma

## Introduction

Zenitsu comes off as a coward, as he often claims that he doesn't have long to live due to the dangerous job of being a Demon Slayer. He also has rather low self-esteem despite his strength, even considering himself useless as seen when he couldn't believe he had slain a demon and tricked himself into instead believing that it was Shoichi, even though the latter was a young child who didn't possess any form of special demon-slaying ability. Zenitsu is in a constant state of fear and always cries and tries to run away at the sight of danger, claiming he wants to live a modest, normal life, instead of that of a Demon Slayer. Due to this, Zenitsu screams and shouts a lot, sometimes annoying the people around him. He is also shown to be pessimistic at times, especially during the Hashira Training Arc where he lashed out at Tanjiro and Inosuke for viewing the training positively.

However, despite these weaknesses, Zenitsu still wants to live up to the expectations others set up for him and will try his hardest when he needs to. He holds great respect and admiration towards his comrades and his deceased teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima, and his inner focus and drive in avenging him help to wash away his cowardice and second thoughts when he is in a pinch. Zenitsu also hates himself for how cowardly and incompetent he is, genuinely striving to better himself.

### Character Details

From the beginning, Zenitsu comes off as a talented and skilled Demon Slayer though he denies this. Zenitsu's true strength awakens when he is asleep, as that's when his nerves that normally keep him from accessing his true strength give out, making him more sagacious, calm and precise in combat, which allowed him to instantly decapitate the Tongue Demon and defeat the Son Spider Demon by himself. He was later able to defend 3 entire train carts being under attack by Enmu, Lower Rank One, along with Nezuko. A few months after that, he was able to go toe-to-toe with an awakened Daki with the assistance of Inosuke, and later managed to blitz her with **Thunderclap and Flash: Godspeed**. As further credence to his strength, Zenitsu was able to advance to the highest point of the Hashira Training.

**Weakness**: *Cannot use **God Speed** more than two times without being unable to use his legs.*

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **First Form: Thunderclap and Flash** ( *Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen*?) - The user unsheathes their katana, dashes forward at blinding speeds and decapitates their opponent faster than they can react, before sheathing it back. This technique is extremely reminiscent of Iaijutsu and its movements are described to be akin to "lightning ripping through the air".
	+ **Sixfold** ( *Rokuren*?) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Zenitsu. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** six times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of his dashes.
	+ **Eightfold** ( *Hachiren*?) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Zenitsu. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** eight times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of his dashes.
	+ **Godspeed** ( *Shinsoku*?) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Zenitsu. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** while greatly augmenting the speed of the technique. During the first display of this technique, an unconscious Zenitsu remarked that he mustn't perform this technique more than two times, otherwise his legs would be rendered useless due to muscle fatigue and exhaustion. However, during the battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, Zenitsu has shown improvement in the proficiency of this technique, allowing him to use it more than twice while still maintaining the power and speed of the technique.

* **Seventh Form: Honoikazuchi no Kami** (ノ　 *Shichi no kata: Honoikazuchi no Kami*?, lit. Seventh Form: Flaming Thunder God) - The personal creation of Zenitsu Agatsuma. The user dashes forward at blinding speeds and unleashes a singular forward slash at a low stance, which is seemingly accompanied by a yellow Japanese dragon shaped like a lightning bolt.
