You've Never Seen Nezuko This Affectionate! Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Adorable, Sister-Like Interaction Between Mitsuri Kanroji and Nezuko

The way the childlike Nezuko Kamado (voiced by Akari Kitō) and Mitsuri Kanroji (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) play together is absolutely heartwarming. Amidst the fierce battles with demons depicted in the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the sisterly moments between Nezuko and Mitsuri offer a soothing break for viewers.

In the first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc, Tanjirō Kamado (voiced by Natsuki Hanae) visits the village where the swordsmiths live and enjoys a meal with Mitsuri, the “Love Hashira.” As Mitsuri chats away, Nezuko comes over, and Mitsuri gently soothes her, saying, “What’s the matter, Nezuko-chan?” Nezuko, completely taken with Mitsuri, is even more playful and gleeful than usual. When Nezuko hugs her, Mitsuri lovingly strokes her head; the two look just like real sisters.

Viewers felt their hearts warmed by the close bond between Nezuko and Mitsuri, expressing sentiments such as “What a healing space!” and “Nezuko’s like a baby.”
