Demon Slayers' Equipment Makes NO Sense (or does it?)

I wrote the script before watching S4 and I was so happy to see the Aizen crow doing exactly what I suggested. All according to plan, lol.

If Demons can have magic, Demon Slayers can have "science"

The dumbest part is why the dude with literal demon eating power isn't experimented on and given more focus by the trainers

The ultimate Weapon, a crow guided super Yoriichi type 0 with 6 wisteria, nichirin Guns! The crow finds a Demons, sends the signal to Yoriichi type 0, and then the demon is surprised by a Machine Poisonous monster.

The fact that Slayers do not use other breathing styles can be explained by the idea that not every breathing suits any slayer. We can see this in the fact that Tanjiro could handle Sun Breathing better than Water Breathing. So, even though a main Water Breathing user can use Wind Breathing, they are not likely to be as proficient with it as they are with Water Breathing. It is also implied that the Nichirin color each Slayer possesses is associated with their respective suited breathing style: Black = Sun Blue = Water Green = Wind Red = Flame Gray = Stone Yellow = Thunder We can also understand why Tanjiro could use Water and Thunder Breathing because, just as white light is composed of every single color, a Sun Breathing user can adjust to every single breathing style.

They won't use guns, because saying "something something breathing, trigger pulling form" would be really, really lame.

Most of those issues could be easily resolved with having actual strategy and tactics. Riflemen are vulnerable in close combat? Train them to fight as a squad with other riflemen or in a mixed formation with sword users. Marionettes are too inflexible? Send them as a backup with slayers or the aboforementioned riflemen. Counter the demons' individual strength with the power of organisation.

My biggest gripes are completely skipping lower moons, the final selection and having no scouting branch for promising people as well as a focused training facility like how we had the big one in prep for the final fight.

A Marechi blooded Sun Breathing Demon Slayer who has nichirin guns with bullets coated in wisteria flowers & explosive powders, equipped with an extra sword (also coated in wisteria flowers & explosive powders) & grenades, who just also happen to have Yoriichi Type 0 as a combat apprentice with the same equipment:

I learned that demon slayer is best enjoyed when you're brain is turned off. The last time i turned on my brain was when i was wondering why muzan first sent 2 fonder demons to try and kill tanjiro when they first met instead of sending an upper moon or even better, doing it himself if he was stressed out due to tanjiros earrings.

People forget how modern the Demon Slayer setting is.

I’m so glad somebody finally said something about the death trap that is the final selection. It honestly would’ve been better off being named natural selection because the only people who really pass it are the superhumans that become hashira a week later after getting their sword. Is it not alarming that you sent like 70 children into this test and only like 4 came out!? I couldn’t even comprehend someone like murata even passing this exam unless someone like sabito or tanjiro just carries everyone, and even still only 4 other kids made it out alive when the mc was there to carry them, so they are sending countless teenagers at best straight to their death. Giyu is like the only hashira that actually worked for his title, everybody else were basically prodigies. I can’t even say that the hashiras shouldn’t only be good for being cold to the lower members, because most of them absolutely suck at training people. Obanai literally tied everyone he was supposed to be training to a post just to train tanjiro, sanemi was just torturing and beating up teenagers, and two of the hashiras didn’t even wanna train people. The only real helpful training was tengen and mitsuri because at least they didn’t have the intent to make the other corps members experience hell (and gyomei kinda). Not to mention rengoku has yet to be replaced, I’m sure there is someone who can step up to fill his role because the fact they have no backup plan if one or more of their hashiras succumb to injuries is wild to me. Lastly the only time the hashira do train people is when they pick one person who just ends up quitting because their training is always too hard……like how. I know tanjiro is the main character but he got through urokodaki’s training and he was a former hashira, so clearly these hashira are either just evil or suck at training people, or both. Sorry for the rant but this has been on my mind since the fourth season aired and it blows my mind how nobody has said a word about it yet. . . TLDR: The final selection is basically a death trap unless your a prodigy, there should be backup corps members to promote to hashira if one dies or retires, and the hashiras need to stop being evil and properly teach corps members (honestly they should be put through a training regiment by hashira(s) before they take an exam to find what style suits them and properly prepare them.)

Not enough people my ass, 99.99 % of potential swordsmen are useless (look at the final exam, the spider arc and the hashira training arc). The core is getting carried by like 15-20 freaks of nature (Hashira and MC Squad) that can actually fight. It would probably be a lot more effective to convert like 50% of the less talented and dedicated majority into riflemen, maybe with magic sun-metal bayonets. The majority of demons (most below Akaza) could just be shot into a bubbling pile of meat on the floor and dispatched by one of the talented people with a sword or some rando with a bayonet/knife, it would still be cheaper in terms of material and lives.

I have always said that the lower rank slayers should have wisteria poison with them. Like they should coat their swords in it so demons can’t regenerate from their wounds. I know he mentions his point in the video, but I’m still annoyed there is no cannon reason for the lack poison use.

A keen detail to take note of is that demons are usually decades older than slayers. Gyomei would be considered an infant even against some of the younger members of the Twelve Kuzuki. I believe that after centuries of battle, slayers were beginning to rapidly grow stronger but were held back due to being newcomers and lacking a past history with the corps. You do realize nearly all the people there are basically middle schoolers, right? If Tanjiro were a trained grown-ass adult, Akaza would've been paste on the floor, and Kokushibo and Muzan would be slurring. Bear in mind Yoriichi with basically no training his entire life already blitzed a healthy Muzan whose burns have made him significantly weaker in the current time. Yes, demons are naturally superior to humans in terms of their physiology, but the slayers' potential far outweights that of any demon alive or dead.

Why not have the swordsmen carry the guns as backup weapons instead of a dedicated person with a gun. Kind of like Sanemi did against Kokushibo They can decide when a gun is necessary and can make some cool gun sword combos.

1- Even if you gave the poisonous swords to every demon slayer that wouldn't do anything since the weak demon slayers get speed blitz before they even realize and we know that douma was able to survive the poison because he get info from the spider family in other words you need new poison every single time you use one 2- about the American breathing again if the demon slayer is weak then he simply get speed blitz before he use it 3- the DS uniform is a new thing rengoku's father didn't have it in the flash back 4- I can't defend the robot thing but what if muzan stole one it will be the worst scenario 5- about the breathing styles we know in the hashira training that not everyone can learn it and some of them simply gave up when you mentality don't believe you can master it then it doesn't matter how much you train you will never learn it Those NPCs always see harshiras as monsters only tanjiro was the one who tried

I love how these video's are more focused on the world of demon slayer rather than just the characters, you did a great job expelling these theories people have had for a while. 👍👍

"It was I, Mahis" gets me every time

Shinobu said something that might prove she’s using a special type of poison. She said to tanjiro that she could use gentle type of poison to kill nezuko when they first met.
