In recent episodes of the 3rd season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba , Nezuko returned to assuming her demon transformation while fighting alongside Tanjiro . However, some fans feel that the anime went too far by trying to sexualize a young girl like Nezuko. Just to remind you, the scene in question involves anime spoilers.
Demon Slayer – Fans criticize the anime for sexualizing Nezuko
Since she became a demon, Nezuko has gained the power to change the size of her body. However, in the Entertainment District arc, she took on a new transformation that makes her grow into an adult woman. In the Blacksmith Village arc, Nezuko took on this transformation again to fight the Superior Oni, but some fans don't think the way the anime portrays the character is correct.
This happens because part of the public sees this transformation as a way for Demon Slayer to sexualize a child character as an adult woman. So fans took the debate to Twitter to discuss whether Nezuko's adult form is wrong or not.
Check out the reviews:
- Demon Slayer would have been much better if Nezuko had to fight her murderous urges after being turned into a demon, instead of for some reason developing the mentality of a four-year-old girl who acts like a dog.
- Does she look and act like a little girl and suddenly have big breasts when she gains demonic powers? Very strange and disgusting.
- The fact that Daki is 13 years old too, ahh I just don't know. People rarely criticize the female cast of Demon Slayer because of great characters like Shinobu, but I think we need to recognize that even female authors make these mistakes.
- She literally turns into a child too, she can develop her body in any way possible and yet the moment you see her breasts you start throwing a tantrum?
Synopsis
Tanjiro wakes up from a coma after defeating Lua Superior 6 in the Entertainment District and needs to go to the blacksmith village to forge a new sword, as his old weapon was damaged. However, on the way, he comes across new demons who receive orders from Muzan, the main villain of the plot, to kill the blacksmiths. Without blacksmiths, hunters will have no swords to fight demons. So Tanjiro and his friends have to fight the demons of the Upper Moons again to stop them.
Therefore, the 1st season of Kimetsu no Yaiba premiered in April 2019 , making the film a successful phenomenon. Finally, the second season premiered on December 5, 2021 in Japan. In addition, the 3rd season premiered on Crunchyroll after the release of the film To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
