I find Gyutaro and Daki's relationship to be such a dark parallel to that of Tanjiro and our precious Nezuko.
Both groups looked for a saviour and were products of their environment when in their darkest moment. Giyu and the Hashira representing the light when saving our protagonists, whilst Douma and Demon's representing the darkness when 'saving' Gyutaro and Ume.
Tragic.

[LovelyCinccino]

The ironic thing is, even though Kokushibo never suppressed Yoriichi, he ended having the one thing Yoriichi wanted the most: a family. And he threw that away due to his jealousy of Yoriichi.

[ruaanweeb]

Even with 6 eyes, kokushibou couldnt see how much yoriichi loved him.

Dad im famo- wait he went to get milk.

[funicat]

"he was born with a weak body"

also gyutaro: *leaps 10 feet into the air*

[artguma]

What's touching about daki and gyutaro, is that, despite gyutaro being despised for being ugly, he never resented daki for being beautiful all the things he could've been since they were siblings

[synschoolinyounoobsakathemaske]

Akaza deserves his flowers, ol boy just wanted a normal life. He didn't even want to be a demon he literally told Muzan to f*ck off, Akaza is a true definition of a great Villian. I mean of course Akaza lost his memories his brains was literally punched out of him
Akaza, Daki, and Gyutoro deserved better, better people around them or at least to go to heaven. They say that Daki stabbed the Samurui in eye because he was talking sh*t about her brother

[xdja]

Kokushibo and Akaza would be great friends Kokushibo carry's himself like a honorable samurai and Akaza has his own honor code of not killing women so I could see them getting along great.

[MemoRdz]

Akaza’s backstory is so relatable because a lot of people just want to be strong enough to protect their loved ones and keep them safe. Having that torment inside him only drove him further into becoming such a strong demon

[Serial-Designation_Bug]

Tiny doma crossing his arms, staring at the blood-stained floor with a confused/disappointed look actually cracked me up-

[-nezuko-kamado-]

*Hakuji/Akaza didn't deserve any of that, he was a hard working, Kind hearted person. Who didn't care what would happen to him as long as he could protect his loved ones. He even held onto some of his humanity because he refused to Attack or kill Women or Children. He even didn't wanna fight or kill Rengoku Kyojuro, He offered to make him into a demon. Even when he wad fighting Giyuu and Tanjiro, he acknowledged their power and potential. And before he took his own life after seeing Koyuki. He gave Tanjiro a warm smile and refused to regenerate. And constantly was apologizing to Koyuki, Kaezo and his Father for the things he done. But Koyuki stayed by his side and so did his Family. He went out as an Honorable Soldier and was reincarnated as a wonderful student in Kimestu Academy.*

man, after learning about kokoshibo’s backstory, it further proves how far jealousy and hatred can drive someone. that’s why it is important to accept your strengths and weaknesses because that’s what makes you who YOU are. you should never aspire to be better than someone, only a better you. 🙏🏾

[cynicsittinginhisroomwithn]

Am I the only one who thought that Douma’s backstory was hilarious? The idea of grown adults crying and asking what they should do with their lives, only for it to cut to an actual child sitting on a throne is meme material. Also I found his reaction to his parents dying so funny. We hear the tragic way they died and he’s just like “ok, but did you have to be such a slob about it?”

[SodorStudiosAndCoProductions]

I really hope the anime will also adapt Nakime and Gyokko's backstories because they got so much potential

[crystallix]

Kokushibo put Akaza in his place in the Upper Moon meeting but I think he respects Akaza because just like him he actually trains like a normal human while the other upper moons just devour humans to get stronger

[charles_capet]

I like how Hantengu is probably the one with the least excuses to be evil out of all the demons and yet he’s the one who comes up with the most excuses to justify himself

[fusionspotara]

Daki and Gyutaro along with Akaza were the most saddest backstories Gyutaro neglected people discriminate him and bully him Daki getting burned alive Akaza losing his father her soon to be wife and father in law were the real pain where real human cruelty was really shown

[Sun_Goddess]

Akaza/Hakuji origin story is my favorite. Such a great story. He cared and had compassion for those he loved even after being dealt a bad hand in life. Most of his violent actions as a human were in defense of people he loved. Not going to lie I was balling 😭 when I read book 18. My favorite of the series, and I cannot wait for it to be animated.

[mr.wescottx]

Like upper moon 1&3 backstories.
It's just so interesting in their backstories to make who they are now in current timeline.

Muzan said it already, he's nice to daki to keep guyattro. Muzan said daki was worthless and guyattro only died because of her.
