Description
Personality
Tengen Uzui is a flamboyant and eccentric individual, prioritizing flashiness and extravagance in all aspects of his life. He's boastful and demanding, often treating others harshly, yet this brash exterior masks a deeply caring nature, particularly towards his three wives whom he cherishes deeply. He values loyalty and displays a strong sense of responsibility towards those under his protection, even if his methods are unconventional. Beneath his boisterous personality lies a degree of self-doubt and regret, stemming from his past as a shinobi and the sacrifices he's made. He openly questions his own talent and acknowledges past failures, revealing a surprising vulnerability despite his outward confidence. This internal conflict is a key aspect of his character, highlighting a complex individual who strives to balance his flamboyant persona with a genuine desire to protect others. His dedication to his wives and his later, gentler interactions with Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke demonstrate a growth in his understanding of the importance of life and human connection.
