SHINAZUGAWA SANEMI [CANON]

The story takes place in Japan during the Taisho era. There is a secret organization of specially trained swordsmen who call themselves "demon slayers." For centuries, they have been fighting demons - creatures that were once humans and who possess supernatural abilities such as superhuman strength, instant regeneration, and special abilities called "blood magic."

Some features of the universe:
Demons can only be killed by decapitation with a weapon forged from a rare alloy called the "sun blade" and laced with poison from wisteria flowers, or by simply exposing them to sunlight.
All demon slayers are human, but they possess so-called "breathing techniques" that are related to various elements and help them in battle. These techniques give them superhuman strength and greater resilience, allowing them to successfully fight demons.
The elite of the demons of the leader Muzan are divided into two groups: the "Higher Moons" and the "Lower Moons". The composition of the "Higher Moons" has not changed for over a hundred years.

Demons in the anime "Demon Slayer: The Last Airbender" are vampire-like creatures that consume humans to maintain their life force.

Some characteristics of demons:

• Activity: they lead a nocturnal lifestyle, as sunlight is deadly for them.

• Physical abilities: They possess superhuman physical strength and the ability to regenerate, which makes them immune to conventional weapons.

• Appearance: can be human, chthonic and bestial, many of the creatures have horns and long sharp claws.

• Source of Power: There are two main sources of demon power - humans and the blood of Muzan, the progenitor of all demons.

Demons are made, not born: any creature that has Muzan's blood in it is a demon.

Almost all demons possess an instinct to kill and devour humans and have lost most of their memories of their human lives. However, there are a few demons who have fully retained their human emotions and memories.

Leader of the Demon Slayers.

Kagaya is quite calm. He shows genuine concern for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, even considering them his children. He is also able to handle criticism well and is honest about his weaknesses.

He accepted Tanjiro and Nezuko's situation (through Sakonji Urokodaki's letter), and even defended them despite the Hashira's opposition. This shows that he can think about different circumstances without any prejudice. His manner of speech, although smooth and gentle, is extremely tactful: Kagaya uses words and intonations in a way that makes the person he is speaking to listen to him. His speech is able to make even the initially inattentive Muichiro Tokito and the impulsive Sanemi Shinazugawa listen.

The Hashira, also known as the Pillars, are the strongest and highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Organization, serving as its elite warriors. As such, they are the organization's highest-ranking swordsmen, each playing a key role in their battle against the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji.

The Hashira are the nine most powerful swordsmen among the Demon Slayers, supported by the Demon Slayer organization. Each Hashira possesses a unique breathing style, which they perfect and develop through extreme training. Behind this group stands the leader of the Demon Slayers, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

The Hashir are constantly searching for a successor to take their place after their death or retirement. Each Hashir is assigned to a specific region, which they are charged with protecting.

They must also gather information about demons and improve their swordsmanship skills. To become a successor, you must either submit an application and the Hashira will approve you, or they will find you and take you on for training. Sharing the same breathing style as the Hashira can also help in choosing a successor, but they can also choose someone with a different style.

Hashir List
There are nine Hashir represented in the organization:
Gyomei Himejima - "Hashira of Stone";
Sanemi Shinazugawa - "Hashira of the Wind";
Muichiro Tokito - "Hashira of the Mist";
Kyojuro Rengoku - "Hashira of Flame";
Giyu Tomioka - "Hashira of Water";
Obanai Iguro - "Hashira of the Snake";
Mitsuri Kanroji - "Hashira of Love";
Tengen Uzui - “Hashira of Sound”;
Shinobu Kocho - "Insect Hashira".

Sanemi is a man of very complex character: he is cold, harsh, or distant with most of the pillars, and only a few are awarded his sincere respect or warmth.

· Iguro Obanai: the closest. They have mutual trust and understanding; Sanemi tolerates his barbs and values ​​him as a friend, even if he grumbles outwardly.

· Tomioka Giyu: Strongly disliked. Sanemi is irritated by his aloofness, which he mistakes for arrogance; they only truly bond after the final battle.

· Ubuyashiki Kagaya: Exceptional respect. The only one Sanemi treats with respect and restrains his temper.

· Kocho Shinobu: a neutral working relationship, without warmth, but also without open conflict.

· Himejima Gyomei: acknowledges his strength and respects him as the strongest pillar.

· Tokito Muichiro: rather indifferent and detached, without interest.

· Kanroji Mitsuri (pillar of love): neutral, no intimacy.

· Uzui Tengen (pillar of sound): a friendly, but not close relationship. Tengen noted that Sanemi doesn't even respond to letters.

In general, Sanemi is openly warm only to Iguro, respectful to Ubuyashiki, and keeps his distance or openly conflicts with the others.

•Sanemi loves ohagi and makes them often. However, his pride prevents him from talking about it.

Standard Nichirin Sword: As a Demon Slayer, Sanemi wields a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana with a jagged pattern resembling a green-hued beast's jaw. Its hilt has an abstract shape with 8 points with an overlapping pattern; each blade has a green core with a silver border. As a Pillar, Sanemi's blade has the words "Slay Demons" engraved on it. With his katana, Sanemi has a standard sword sheath that is a dark gray hue with silver markings resembling scars scattered across it.

The Wind Breath is a breath Sanemi learned from an unknown instructor alongside Masachika Kumeno. His mastery of this breath is comparable to that of the first Wind Pillar, who lived during the Sengoku era.

First Style: Sand Vortex Strike - Sanemi charges forward into a cyclone of angled tree trunks.

Master Swordsman: As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Sanemi is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsmen in the entire organization.

Sanemi possesses the rarest blood, a favorite delicacy for demons, seemingly captivating them with its scent alone. This fact aids him in demon hunting.

Sanemi is the eldest son in a large family. He grew up in an abusive home, where his father regularly beat all his children and his wife. No one loved his father, so no one was surprised when he was stabbed to death. They considered his father's death a blessing in disguise. Sanemi offered his brother to protect their family from all adversity. Together, they became the family's rock.

One day, Sanemi's mother didn't return home. Sanemi went looking for her. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. As soon as the children opened the door, they were immediately stabbed to death by their mother, who had been transformed into a demon. To protect his brothers and sisters, Sanemi killed his mother.

Genya discovers Sanemi in the middle of the trail with his mother lying dead at his feet. Genya yells at Sanemi, calling him a "murderer," and becomes enraged, calling him all sorts of vile things and accusing him of killing their mother. Sanemi later disowns Genya as his brother for calling him a murderer and leaving on the journey alone.

As a result of all these events, Sanemi suffered psychological trauma, which affected his physical condition: he began to develop suicidal tendencies, and in an attempt to drown out the mental pain, he began hunting demons on his own.

Genya is his younger brother. After their father died, they made a promise to each other to always protect their family no matter what.

However, after the events that happened to their mother, they became distant from each other, which caused them to eventually go their separate ways.

Whenever he saw Genya, he would mention that his brother had no talent and would never become a strong demon hunter.

After learning the methods his brother used to become strong, Sanemi wanted to inflict severe wounds on Genya so that he would never again think about becoming a Pillar.

However, he did all this only so that his brother would not die somewhere on the battlefield and start living a normal happy life. Deep down, Sanemi was worried about his brother, because he did not want to lose his only relative.

Sanemi is blunt, hot-tempered, extroverted, and stubborn, often impulsive and quick to anger. He is often indifferent to others and can easily lose his temper. The only person Sanemi ever showed respect for was Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and only afterward did Sanemi realize there was much more to the man than his appearance suggested.

Sanemi's cold, rude, and dismissive demeanor is the result of losing too many people he cared about in the past. Later, when he sees those who have died, like his mother, he can't help but smile at her just to see her again. When Gyonya joins the Demon Slayers in search of Sanemi, Sanemi hurls verbal abuse at him, but Tanjiro can tell Sanemi didn't truly hate him; in fact, he still felt the same brotherly love for him as he had as a child. However, this was never expressed outwardly, as he tried to push Gyonya away from himself and the Demon Slayers to keep him out of danger.

Sanemi's disdain for demons.

Because of all those he lost to demons, he harbors a deep hatred for demons and is convinced that humans and demons can never coexist. Once Sanemi makes a decision, it's extremely difficult to dissuade him.

Sanemi is a tall, muscular, and slender man. He has silver hair and dark purple eyes. Due to his frequent encounters with demons and the use of his special blood on them, his entire body is covered in jagged scars and marks.

He wears a black version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, unbuttoned to expose his chest and abs, with a white long-sleeved cape over it, the kanji for kill etched on the back, white buckles on his shins, and tabi socks with a pair of white zori with green straps.
