Sanemi should have died during the final battle.

Look I love Sanemi.

He's my favorite hashira but for his mental sake and mine, he should have died.

The man legit had nobody left.

His mother, dead.

Masachika (One of his best friends), dead.

Kanae (It was proven that Sanemi enjoyed talking to her), dead.

Rengoku (Everybody likes the dude), dead.

Ubuyashiki (parental figure), dead.

Shinobu (He checked on her from time to time), dead.

Iguro (his besto friendo), dead.

Genya (No explanation needed), dead.

the only one remotely close to him that is alive was Uzui. (Sanemi saw him as an older brother.)

but still.

HE SHOULD HAVE REUNITED WITH EVERYBODY!?!?

reason 362 of why I hate Kyogo:

I already read Shinazuagawa family tree from KnY Fanbook and it says:

Although that solves which is the youngest child which is Koto (the kid that sleeps in Genya's arms and the smallest one among the other siblings).

I'm still confuse who's who among the siblings, because when I'm searching the name didn't match up the character. Like which one is Sumi, is it the red one or the green one? Because I search her name and she ends up with two pictures. In website A she's the red one, but in website B she's the green one.

All I know is:

Shizu [mother]

Kyogo [father]

Sanemi [1st child/1st son]

Genya [2nd child/2nd son]

Koto [7th child/5th son]

The rest is Sumi, Teiko, Shuya, and Hiroshi. I don't know who's who here. I hope someone tell me the correct information.

[avocodas]

We need more drawings of Sumi and the Shinazugawa brothers. Either with Genya or Sanemi, it doesn't matter. If I had to give an idea, it would be that by accident or by an attack, Sumi ended up with a nasty scar on her face and jokingly says something like "well, now you could say I'm one of yours I guess".

Meanwhile Sanemi caught the culprit and he is giving it an old “ treat” before Sanemi allow its soul to rest in pieces

[demonslayedher]

How large do you think the Shinazugawa dad was compared to their mom in size measurements?

Hmm...

I tell ya', Anon, I am really bad at eyeballing measurements. But as a point of reference, Sanemi is 179cm. So take it from there, I guess?

EDIT: Anon, please see the notes on this post for a helpful assessment by @nenesleepyhead !

Shinazugawa head family! (whos still alive at least, minus Kyogo)

I dont have anything like. history/folklore/origin myth for them yet but present-time the Shinazugawa clan is generally known as barbaric and merciless in their endeavors and lifestyle. They train children from the moment they learn to walk and expected to give their life to help the clan, Kyogo as clan head (was) the latest link in the long line of war-mongers who thought that more land = better and used the clan as fodder to get more riches & reputation.

Said reputation was not improved by the clan's kekkei genkai, an ability to consume chakra and absorb it for their own use. the 'consumtion' is infamously mistaken as just plain cannibalism, because the most common method of getting another's chakra is from the source. Users who have the kekkei genkai have englarged fangs, slit pupils, and when the ability is activated, dark sclera. Those who carry the gene for it (even if they dont have it) have sharper canines and their pupils can stretch to slits.

the Kochos were in some deep shit with a lightning-natured clan & agreed to a marriage alliance in turn for protection, thus Shizu got stuck with him. It was almost good at first because Kyogo thought he could trust her with his back, but he decided she was too weak to do that and she turned into a glorified paper pusher.

Shizu was still a hard worker and did her damn best to make life even a little bit easier for those she saw, and when she had children she tried to shield them from the horrors the best she could. when she couldn't she'd at least be there to comfort them.

Teiko was the first child to die- she was being trained by Shizu as a medic since Kocho are well versed in iryo-jutsu, but Kyogo had her sent with a patrol group in one of the more contested areas and she was killed in the fight.

Koto was second- he was brought to a border battle and was subsequently killed in action.

Shuya was last- he was sent on a mission with Sanemi and a few other clansmen, it went south very fast and Sanemi couldn't save him.

---

When Sanemi got home after that to give a mission report, Kyogo completely waved it off as the usual casualties and was generally disrespectful and dismissive about it. Sanemi finally snapped. He started laughing & Kyogo told Shizu to get her kid under control, but she was still in shock processing that another of her children were killed. When he slapped her Sanemi went into a fit of rage and enhanced his muscles with chakra and sent his fist right through his chest.

After all that chaos was processed and settled out, Sanemi was then the new clan head. He his mother and a few trusted advisors set about fixing a lot of shit wrong with the clan and set about improving relations with the surrounding clans.

Kumeno were wary about the sudden change in authority but weren't adverse to Sanemi being head, Kocho were very glad that 1 they were still allied even tho Kyogo's dead 2 they still get protection & 3 that they're trying to change the deeply violent & toxic culture within the clan

[whatcruelworldisthis]

that one scene in the kny manga w/ sanemi and his mom but in writing ;-; (collab w/ @naomithenomes)

Huh? This must be the afterlife.

The air hung heavy with a sense of gloominess. Faint sounds of memories seemed to cruise throughout the blurry setting. However, the sounds seemed delayed, as if the thick atmosphere seemed to drag them down.

The memories weren’t all pleasant; some, long forgotten, formed as faint echoes. But most were distorted to the point where Sanemi couldn't even make out a single word. This seemed to have been the somewhere in between. Purgatory. 

I must have reached 25.

"Ma?" He called out. He walked around in the abyss for a while, trying to catch even a glimpse of his mother's figure. He needed to ask a favor. 

He wandered the seemingly endless grey canvas when soon, he came across a woman. A small figure, wearing a faded yellow kimono. Her back was turned to him, but he recognized her immediately.

"Oh.. hey, Ma," he greeted. She turned to face him, silent, with distraught eyes.

"Ma, accompany me to heaven," he said.

She shivered and withdrew into the shadows, "I-I can't."

He saw this and stepped forward, refusing to let her be swallowed into the darkness. "Why not?! Come with me!" 

"No... I cannot go with everyone else," she cried. "I harmed my own children, so I cannot go to heaven."

She must have been waiting in this expanse for a while now. Torn between what must be her fate in hell or her family.

"Very well. Then I will go with you," he settled. "Besides, if I went there too soon, Genya would be sad.”

I will carry you to hell on my back.

a/n: hope you like! its funny cuz i have the creativity and motivation and she has the grammarly premium ass mind lol

[demonslayerunhinged]

Unhinged theory

Okay so this theory is complete bullshit and doesn't have any merit but I just wanted to get it out of my system.

I wonder why Shizu didn't eat the kids the moment she killed them. Like we know that when you're turned into a demon you're overcome by a hunger so great that you won't be able to think straight.

Like okay, maybe she wanted to finish off Genya before she started feasting but she could have just eaten them, it's not like Genya posed any actual danger and her movements were too calculated like oneshotting all 4 kids including Koto and breaking the lights right before attacking Genya.

So here's my theory, I think Shizu deliberately killed her kids. Why? Because she was tired of them. Y'know how becoming a demon brings out the twisted version of your soul like Akaza's fighting, Dakis obsession with beauty and Gyutaros hatred of humanity, and Hantengu's entire existence? What if Shizu deep down was tired of being a mom? And she low-key resented her kids? What if she was tired of seeing them suffer?

Genya said she was very small but what if in reality she was just very young? Like in her late teens? It's not so out there after all Tamayo is 19 biologically and she had a husband and kids. Shizu could have been 14 or 15 when she had Sanemi.

So this is a young girl, married this older man, probably out of necessity or against her will, and given Kyogo's violence there's a chance that some of the kids were a product of rape.

She's living in poverty, married to an absolute dick of a husband who beats her all while trying to make ends meet and take care of SEVEN kids!

Even for the Taisho era, seven kids is a lot and other people seem to think so too, in the light novel Genya remembers how their landlord's son used to taunt them as 'the poor people with a lot of kids'.

The thing that really cemented this theory for me is the afterlife scene with Sanemi. Her shame. Not sadness or despair but shame. Shame so strong she doesn't even want to alert her kids to her existence and she covers her face and hides when she sees Sanemi. What if that shame stems from guilty? Guilt over her resentment towards her kids?

I'm not saying that Shizu hated her kids, but what if she was just...tired? Tired of being used as a punching bag? Tired of seeing her babies get hurt and go hungry every night? Tired of being treated like dirt and having people make fun of her family? Tired of being judged for circumstances that were out of her control? Tired of struggling? Tired of her life? Tired of everything?

Regarding Sanemi and Genya, I feel like they both have an idealized image of their mother and that's probably why Sanemi refused to accept the knowledge that Nezuko could resist attacking humans by thinking about her family, because then he would have to face the truth that maybe their mother never really loved them? Or that her love wasn't as strong as he thought?

It's a really hard pill to swallow for a lot of us because we don't want to think about the fact that our moms, even if they love us or at least tolerate us, may not have wanted us or may have thought their lives would've been better if they hadn't had us.

This isn't uncommon in real life either. The subreddit r/regretfulparents has over 120k members, then there's this insightful thread where parents who regret having kids share their feelings, there's also experiences from women here and here.

Something to think about. I'm sorry but I feel like the Shinazugawa kids, all they truly had was each other and they didn't know it. They never really stood a chance.

Yea so...

[seirei-bh]

This family warms my heart. They deserved better.

[genyakisser]

sanemi and his inability to protect the ones he loves

just a reminder that sanemi couldnt save any of the people he loved

made a promise with genya to protect their family since their dad died. they died the exact same night to their mother who was turned into a demon. his mentor? the person who gave him the capabilities to slay demons? died to a lower rank. his younger brother who he joined the corp for just to protect him and let him live an easier life? died to upper rank 1 kokushibo and disintegrated into ash as if he were a demon.

he tried to hard to protect his family and loved ones but in the end it was all for nothing

[lesbianasfuckwomen]

Inspired By sarcastic Kaz's swap!trauma response au.

What if Genya couldn't take it anymore? What if his mind just shut down after hearing Sanemi say that to him?

Genya was pathetic

Villagers, sneering at him for his dirty clothes and bruises. Slayers, looking down on him for not using breathing styles. His father sperm donor, cursing him out while stepping on his mother.

His mother.

Shizu

A woman who looked as if she would shatter underneath any sort of physical contact. A woman who Genya knew could last hours being beaten up, after all they lived with the same abuser. A woman who would sing Genya lullabies after Kyogo that bastard hit a little too hard.

His mother.

His mother, the person that came home too late one night.

His mother, the person that extended her claws on people she vowed to protect.

His mother, laying in his hands as he screamed at the one person who saved him, calling him a murder.

Genya knew he was pathetic.

That still didn't change the sinking feeling of absolute despair when he heard what Sanemi said about him.

"Absolutely useless. Can't even use a single breathing style. And he eats demons? Talk about a scum. Deserves to rot in hell."

Genya thought that because he helped take down uppermoon 4, his brother, his own kin would be proud of him.

It was a measly thought. A thought that was a string. A string that kept his sanity intact.

The string snapped.

And so did his sanity.

"Hm? Where am I?"

[ymirsenn]

Sketches of my interpretation of modern!Shinazugawa family (minus Kyogo, fuck him) The highlights are mainly just sorta fun things, except for Shizu, her hair is greying lol. Let me know if you guys are interested in more!

[alshamswelnahr]

Why Sanemi and Genya are not their father

Of the very little but critical we know about Shizu Shinazugawa in her character's introduction it is obvious that she shares her core qualities with her eldest sons.

The anger of the boys might be attributed to their abusive father, as the saying goes "if you're raised with an angry man in your house there will always be an angry man in your house" but her relentless hard work day and night is echoed in their own dedication and effort in becoming demon slayers.

Their courage to face off demons is akin to her bravery taking on her husband, while her protective instincts are evident in Genya and Sanemi's overprotective nature

Another discernible trait of hers is a sense of responsibility, which manifests in the brothers desire to share the burden of raising their family and supporting each other

Similarly, they share a deep sense of gentleness and care; their mother being described as"his mother who had passed away also had gentle and warm hands" Sanemi"because my Nii-chan is the nicest person in the world" and genya "Genya was also very kind he would stand out to protect those who are around him— to protect his comrades".

Lastly, the three Shiazugawa(s) bear immense unreasonable guilt, Shizu for murdering her own children despite being turned against her own will, Genya for accusing his brother of murder and Sanemi's self-imposed role as the head of the household, coupled with his belief that he failed to provide stability and happiness for his family.

Thus we could see that these individuals are remarkably similar in what truly counts— their values, their hearts and their essence.

I fully believe Shizu could decimate Sanemi, Genya and Kyogo in a drinking competition
