#Zenitsu haters in the be quiet

Zenitsu vs Stark and How I disagree

I do agree with some of his points, but I think he's WRONG when it comes to Zenitsu in several different ways

1: Zenitsu "Not facing his fears": You say Zenitsu never faces his fears of demons, but he is very much wrong and incorrect regarding this statement. Zenitsu faces his fears many times in the series, he mentions him protecting Nezuko from Inosuke despite his fear cause it was important to Tanjiro, but he's acting like that the ONLY TIME Zenitsu has faced his fear of demons. There are multiple times when Zenitsu is brave enough to face his fear of demons, despite his fear, he just refuses to acknowledge any of them.

"Outside that scene Zenitsu constantly avoids facing those fears."

Well that a fucking lie, Like I said Zenitsu faces his fears many times in the series besides from protecting the box from Inosuke, He also protected a little girl from Daki despite being afraid , Face his fear again by facing with Kaigaku the one which is responbile for his gramps death and fought him while awake, Entered the fight wth the most powerful demon alive aka Muzan dispute knowing there's a possibitly that he could die.

He went from scardey cat to a hero whhc save people and protect others dispite is fear.

"Zenitsu's solution is frustrating cause he should be gaining confidence as he fights stronger demons and enemies"

This is point that I would agree IF he isn't gaining confidence throught out the series. But Zenitsu does gain confidence throught the series and over time Zenitsu doesn't even use his sleeping method at all. Like example when Zenitsu was comforting the little girl realized that Uppermoon 6 aka Daki is behind them

He was very much afraid at first but then he gained confidence to protect the little girl against Daki once Daki started to physically hurting her and almost rip her ear off.

This is an example of Zenitsu facing his fears of demons and buliding confidence.

Another example of Zenitsu buliding confidence is the Hashira Training Arc once he found out that Gramps killing himself because of Kaigaku's transformation he continues buliding his confidence even futher ; for him to win against Kaigaku.

Then there's the fact that when he came to face Kaigaku, Zenitsu as not afraid anymore but confident in his ablities that he can win and even so confident enough to talk shit about him, he even beat and won while being awake and using his sleeping method.

He's even confident to enough to fight in the battle of Muzan for crying out loud while being awake.

So to say he ain't gaining confidence through out the series is a lie. It's thanks to Zenitsu's first act of bravey in the story that Zenitsu had enough confidence to stand up to Daki and defend the child, then thanks to those acts of bravey he continues buliding his confidence through out the Hashira Training Arc then thanks to those three things Zenitsu had enough confidence in him to stand up against Kaigaku and finally thanks to all of that Muzan himself.

You can't just sit there and say Zenitsu had no growth when his growth is unfolding RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. Again He did eventually stop using his abilty of passing out to fight and faces his fear. More especially the Zenitsu vs Kaigaku fight and During the Battle of Muzan. Once again there are times that he doesn't pass out and faces his fear like for example Zenitsu vs Kaigaku fight, During the Battle of Muzan, Protecting the box from Inosuke and Standing up to Daki aka Uppermoon 6.

And I aint repeating myself again Zenitsu goes GROW AND DEVELOP AND LEARNS TO GAIN CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF YOU [If he ever see this] JUST REFUSE TO ADMIT. I get it Stark is a great example of having low self estasime and having fear and facing said fear but you can't just shit there and say Zenitsu doesn't faces his fear and doesn't learn to be confident in himself. BECAUSE HE DOES DO ALL THOSE THINGS for maybe don't be so blind AND SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

In defense of Zenitsu Agatsuma

Alright, we all know Zenitsu is quite a divisive character but his haters are taking their dislike towards him in a disturbingly disproportionate way to the point they pick his flaws and demonize... And their reasons to hate him is either "he's loud and annoying", "he's cowardly and useless", "he's a pervert" or "he forced himself on nezuko" so i'll refute those repetitive arguments because it's getting really tiring

"He's loud and annoying"

He's loud and? So is Inosuke and people dont give him hell for it and many of his lines is him screaming. Rengoku is loud aswell but people dont mind it. They only focus on Zenitsu and it's just unfair and biased because those same people are the same ones who love other louder characters while hating on Zen for it and the excuse it's probably "he's annoying". While the annoyingness depends a lot of the person, they somehow tolerate characters that are way more annoying than him but since Zenitsu is considered as a "loser", they just use him as a scapegoat.

And about being annoying... It's really frustrating that they only tolerate him when he's asleep aka being brave and imo its boring because we have so many characters that fear nothing and are super brave wich gets too repetitive and even boring so to it's quite refreshing to see a character that doesnt show a brave side and has more realistic reactions when encountering demons that are twice his height.

Besides the guy clearly has a lot of issues and unresolved traumas wich are shown with his clinglyness, self esteem issues, etc... sadly the author didnt put much focus and it doesnt go away magic and the fact that his haters are quick to be sympathetic to other Demon Slayer characters who did WAY worse than him but people refuse to try to understand him just show they just care about if a character is cool enough or quiet enough.

"He's cowardly and useless"

Did we watch the same show?? He may be cowardly sure (wich is valid given his circumstances) but calling him useless is a reach. If he was useless; Nezuko would've been killed by Inosuke, the kid he was protecting in the demon drum arc would've died aswell (he had countless of oportunities to ditch the little boy and leave him for dead), the mission in the red light district could've been more complicated, the little girl he defended from Daki wouldnt have her other ear, etc...

Hence, despite being a coward, he still has morals that his haters love to overlook. The guy was terrified of Tengen yet he still did what he could to defend the girls from him, took a nasty blow from Daki just for defending someone, tried to hide Genya from Sanemi, etc without expecting something back. Despite his flaws, Zenitsu is without a doubt one of the most selfless characters in the show but of course, according to dudebros and haters, crybaby=useless.

"He's a pervert"

This one is a valid criticism but sadly, his haters flanderize said flaw to make him some sort of predator, calling him all sort of awful things and even accusing him of stuff he didnt even do. His love for girls can be super weird and he's not a gentleman but they love to overlook all the moments where he genuinely protected girls that aren't only Nezuko and after doing so, he doesn't expect them to be his girlfriend or anything. He even demanded Daki to apologize to the little girl she bullied. If he only cared about women for lust pleasure then many of his kind actions toward them wouldn't even exist in the first place

Besides I find it super hypocritical for people to give Zenitsu hell for his innapropriate behaviour towards girls yet those same people turn a blind eye to Tengen slapping a minor's butt (some even going as far as trying to explain the reason), threw a little girl off the roof without caring if she'd survive or not and almost kidnapping the butterfly girls. Tengen did ALL of this without even apologizing to the girls nor without getting properly punished for said actions (and no, him losing his hand and eye are not direct punishment of his actions but rather unfortunate consequences of the battle). It's just crazy how those same people hold Zenitsu (a teenager) more accountable for his behaviour than Tengen (grown adult) for his smh.

"He forced himself on Nezuko"

Dude has an innocent crush on a girl who treats him well and people act as if he was a terrible and psychopathic guy who didn't cared about her and treated her like garbage. This man would rather suffer than hurt her and see her unhappy, he loves her in a genuine and pure way that goes being "she's cute" and it was shown in his dream. In the light novel, it was confirmed that he doesn't even care that she's a demon, meaning that he loves her regardeless of what she is.

Wich makes all the dumb tweets about Aoi being Nezuko's protector and that someone has to protect her from him. Seriously?? The same guy who saved her twice?? And that scene of him seeing Nezuko in the sunlight is not that serious ffs, he wasnt even too harsh with his movements (he gently held her hands), he was just reaction in a dramatic way and Nezuko wasn't even uncomfortable this whole time. If she were uncomfortable, shown signs that she dislikes him and avoids him then yes, the whole "protect her from Zenitsu" tweets would make sense but nop, it's just a cringey scene that people took it way too seriously. Before you mention me the chasing scene, that was an anime-only scene and in the manga he just bows down to her as he gives her flowers. Nezuko even sees him in a positive light, example:

Anyways that was my rant on Zenitsu, might do more about it in the future
