Description
Personality
Zenitsu Agatsuma is characterized by a complex blend of insecurities and surprising strength. He presents a cowardly and self-deprecating exterior, often expressing fear and a low opinion of his own abilities. This is coupled with a tendency towards whining and complaining, particularly when faced with danger or competition. However, beneath this façade lies a fiercely loyal and surprisingly brave individual, capable of incredible feats of strength and determination when pushed to his limits or motivated by those he cares about. His deep-seated respect for his mentor and unwavering devotion to his friends highlight a hidden wellspring of courage and compassion. His romantic interest in Nezuko Kamado also reveals a softer, more tender side to his personality. His relationship with others is defined by his insecurities and his reliance on his friends, particularly Tanjiro Kamado, for support and guidance. While he often clashes with Inosuke Hashibira due to their contrasting personalities, he demonstrates a capacity for cooperation when necessary. His complex relationship with Kaigaku, his former rival, reveals a hidden depth of loyalty and regret, showcasing a capacity for both intense rivalry and profound remorse.
Abilities
Zenitsu's primary ability stems from his mastery of Thunder Breathing, a unique swordsmanship style passed down through generations. While he initially appears weak and cowardly, his true strength is unleashed only when he's asleep. In this state, he instinctively utilizes the most powerful techniques of Thunder Breathing, exhibiting incredible speed and precision. His most notable technique is "Thunderclap and Flash," a lightning-fast attack that overwhelms opponents. He lacks the versatility and conscious control of other Demon Slayers, relying heavily on this subconscious mastery of his breathing style. His power is limited by his reliance on sleep and his overall lack of confidence when awake. Over time, he shows some improvement in his control and confidence, but his primary strength remains his unconscious fighting prowess.
