the first time the hinokami kagura comes into play in season 1 is like my favorite demon slayer scene ever- the music, the animation, nezuko's blood demon art, the dance, the fire- its all so beautiful. i feel like the dance doesnt get much attention from what i've seen and its so underrated but i love it so much.

Guys....guys...about the Kamados...

Also spoilers!

Just finished reading this damn sobfest manga and a question here,specifically about the dad,

as in are we sure Tanjuro,the Kamado patriarch,didn't die because he overtaxed himself with the Sun Breathing?

We sure he didn't die because of the demon slayer mark or something?

Like it's never specified what age he was when he died but he seemed young if ill and the Kamado's wouldn't know that they are essentially performing superhuman and really taxing feats,yeah?

Like Tanjiro specified his father had the same damn mark he himself is developing and Hinokami Kagura is essentially just Sun Breathing for dummies so...?

I mean the official reason for the death of the Kamado patriarch is basically an unspecified illness and I am totally ready to accept that too!

Don't get me wrong this story is tear jerking enough without the implications of the blessing of inhuman strength also basically being a curse for everyone involved.

But yeah this thought won't leave me alone and since I am sick right now and possibly delirious if this post makes no sense I apologize.

But really,realistically Kamado's wouldn't know what the damn breathing is and anyone else would have just called a random wasting sickness.

At the same time,they did live on a mountain so maybe the dad just caught pneumonia or something?

But like he was wrestling bears at one point and dancing the Hinokami for hours apparently,and Tanjiro describes that as actual debilitating pain and a stamina and strength sapping effort of only pulling one of the forms,imagine dancing it consecutively for hours?

Man no wonder Tanjiro just seems to be so good at this too!

He had the most difficult form of breathing as a yearly tradition!

No but really this damn breathing form and breathing in general was dropping people left and right and most of the Hashiras got their mark in the end but imagine being a normal man and pulling this superhuman bullshit as a yearly tradition that lasts hours?

Damn the entire Kamado family is something else.

It also gives credence to that whole adage about no hero ever had a happy life but thankfully we had the power of friendship on our side.

In other words Kamado's are crazy but that's nothing new.

On the side note,apparently the realest and smartest person here is evidently Tengen.

Man came there,saw,conquered and dipped.

No but really how pissed of would you be if you basically killed this world's version of basically Satan and then the very thing that gave you the strength to do it,kills you?

It's probably nothing and I hope it was just some random illness or something but jeez the coincidence and implications are not giving me any joy.

Snow on the ground and a cloudy sky can make both day and night a bit brighter than normal. And that’s what I love about winter.

[wystirea-a]

The wind around him stirs up the snow. Flames light up the surrounding space among the dark woods. The sound of bells and the soft crunch of the earth beneath his feet fill his ears. Heart at ease despite his continued and labored motions. To replicate his father's actions before him, to those dearest to him to stand in view. A new life forged through bloodshed to protect and nurture. In remembrance of those who have departed, allowing him to stand here tonight. The new years has run, and there is a long night still ahead of him to push through.

I felt a series of gifs just does not do this justice. Like at all. Turn sound on.

HINOKAMI KAGURA: DRAGON SUN HALO - HEAD DANCE

鬼滅の刃: SWORDSMITH VILLAGE ARC - Ep. 05: Burning Red Blade

[izvmimi]

cw: selfship-coded. tanjiro and reader in 30s and have named children. family fluff.

Your daughter, only aged six, is surprisingly graceful, mirroring her father’s movements with determination and care written on her face that outsizes her small frame, as Tanjiro gives words of gentle encouragement, each step in time and more fluid than the next. 

It’s Sunday morning, and Ayumi has been practicing small portions of this dance for months now, and her sister right after her, Miki, stands a short distance away in the courtyard, mouth open in awe, with uncoordinated movements of her own as she tries to mimic them. You smile and call her over from your vantage point, and she peels her eyes away from them to look at you, then runs over to fall into your arms. Your last daughter, Mio, who has a wooden toy halfway in her mouth as she crawls over the tatami, also looks and easily jealous, scampers over to fight for attention.

“Stop!!!!” Miki starts to whine, but you shush her gently before finding space for both of them to sit close enough as you sit cross-legged and watch the rest of your family dance.

Ayumi is not holding a sword, even a training one made of wood, and you’re endlessly thankful for that. Thankful that she’ll likely never don a Demon Slayer Corps uniform, thankful that she’s learning for fun and tradition only. 

Tanjiro isn’t wielding a blade either, and while you can still see the slashes of his sword in your mind’s eye as he moves (you’ll never forget it as long as you live, you think), the Hinokami Kagura he’s performing has the steps he once called unnecessary added back in, once more a dance rather than necessary swordsmanship needed in situations of life or death. As he turns quickly, power and beauty combined in every step and hand movement, Ayumi moves in concert, less steady but just as impressive if not more so given her young age, and she’s the picture of her father in miniature, in a small little girl, the tints of burgundy in her thick curls pulled up into a ponytail matching his in the ample sunlight. 

She makes another sudden step, misplaces her foot, and practically trips, but Tanjiro is quick to catch her by the back of her kimono, and gives her a reassuring smile. 

“Oops! That’s enough for today, sweetheart,” he says, as she rights herself.

Ayumi pouts, but she can’t deny that she’s tired, and allows him to pat her on the head. “Good job,” he offers and her lips spread into a wide smile.

“You looked amazing, honey!” you call out to her. 

The two are quick to join you to sit on the tatami, Tanjiro pulling Mio into his lap and inspecting the drool covered block in her hand. She giggles as he tickles her tummy, and then Tanjiro’s eyes shift to you, as Mio quickly escapes him and crawls back into your direction, something that often drives him insane but he allows today.

“It wasn’t a bad idea,” he finally admits.

Ayumi, ever curious, asks “What?” as her eyes dart between the two of you but you share a knowing smile and don’t say anything further. 

You’d once asked him if he’d ever pass on Sun Breathing and he’d imparted to you that he never intended to teach anyone this dance, practically callous in his honesty that he in fact, never expected to live long enough to. In your stubbornness in refusing the idea that he could potentially die, you’d made him promise that he’d imagine himself teaching his child, whether girl or boy, if he managed to beat the curse and if he carried out his promise to marry you if he made it to age 26. 

And here you are now, years past that in the courtyard of a house far bigger than Tanjiro would have been comfortable living in, only giving into Kiriya’s constant offers of money once you were pregnant with your first child and he considered perhaps he could fill up a happy, large home.

“What wasn’t a bad idea?” Ayumi insists again, pushing into her dad’s side. Tanjiro ruffles the curls of her hair.

“Letting you show me up in front of your mother,” he teases. She laughs.

“Nuh-uh! I messed up three whole times!”

She demonstrates with her fingers and Tanjiro quickly replies, “yeah and you’re only 6, so very, very soon you’ll be a far better dancer than me!”

Ayumi’s dark eyes sparkle with competitive spirit which makes you smile. He picks her up abruptly and spins her around, then asks,

“Will you beat me at a ramen eating contest too?”

“Definitely!”

She laughs as he cheerfully puts her down then does the same spin with Miki, ever demanding of copious amounts of attention, and pretend wincing as she tugs gently at his earrings.

“So ramen for lunch?” you ask, as Ayumi and Tanjiro nod furiously. 

The idea of a family outing puts a smile on your own face. 

“Of course, let’s get ready to go!”

2 weeks after Tanjiro!Yuu gave Malleus the SDC (where they are preforming Hinokami Kagura dance)

Malleus: In the message (on the invitation) I received from you two weeks ago, I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase.

Malleus: It change the meaning, did you intend this?

Malleus: One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days, it says.

Malleus and Tanjiro!Yuu: My dearest tsunotarou

Malleus: With a comma after ‘dearest’ you’ve written,

Malleus and Tanjiro!Yuu: My dearest, Tsunotarou

*Flustered* Malleus: Anyway all this to say

Shit, anon made me think of a Yandere-ish variant of the Booster!Sun Breathing AU.

HinoKami Kagura is discovered to be the long lost first breathing style disguised as a traditional dance. Tanjiro tries to hide it at first but the Pillars are keen eyed that his move sets differ from theirs. Not only that but whenever his emotions are high, it affects them too. And they become very addicted to that energy…

As a result the Pillars made Tanjiro stick to their side almost 24/7. They wound up craving his power and becoming possessive of him as a whole.

Kyojuro survived but Akaza escapes from the Pillar’s huge boost. Whether it be Kyojuro mentally draining the Sun boost by force which made Tanjiro nearly pass out or Tanjiro’s emotions giving him the chance to win the battle is up for debate.

Upper Moon 3 felt his wounds not regenerate fast enough and feels genuinely scared that he nearly died.

Despite everyone surviving, Tanjiro is the most exhausted out of everyone thanks to the heavy power drain. Before he closes his eyes, he sees Kyojuro smiling softly at him and embracing his tired body out of relief and affection?

“You did great Kamado, you’re such a wonderful slayer…”

It's not only demon that extinct.

Most of the breathing form probably went extinct along with the demon, especially those which is very specifically created / derived for it's user. some of them probably turn into a ceremonial dance like hinokami kagura.

Insect and mist breathing went extinct in the infinity castle arc. Same with love, against muzan.

And this is the final act of serpent breathing form before it's went completely extinct.

And to make things stink, all of these are regarded as fictional bc this battle was basically unknown to public. The same things with hakuji's rampage which turned into an urban legend.
