What Happens After Tanjiro Turns Into A Demon

Alright, buckle up, Demon Slayer fans! We're diving headfirst into the "what if" scenario that's probably kept you up at night: What HAPPENS if our sweet cinnamon roll, Tanjiro, actually becomes a demon?
Nightmare Fuel or Ultimate Power-Up?
Let's be real, the thought of Tanjiro joining the dark side is terrifying. Imagine your puppy turning into a werewolf – same vibes, but with more potential for world domination (or destruction!).
But hey, maybe it wouldn't be all bad? Think of it like this: he'd get super strength, insane regeneration, and maybe even some cool new demon powers. Imagine him pulling off Water Breathing techniques faster than ever before!
Must Read
Scenario 1: The "I'm Still Good at Heart" Route
Okay, so let's assume Tanjiro retains SOME of his goodness. He's a demon, yes, but he's still got that strong moral compass buried deep down.
Picture this: he's fighting Muzan, but now he has demon powers plus his swordsmanship. It's like giving a superhero a rocket launcher – overkill, but effective!

Maybe he'd even try to find a cure for himself, like a reverse demonification process. Think of him as the Edward Cullen of the demon world, sparkling in the sunlight and desperately trying not to bite his friends.
Scenario 2: The "Oops, I'm Evil Now" Route
Alright, brace yourselves. This is where things get dicey. What if the demon transformation completely overwrites Tanjiro's personality?
He could become Muzan's right-hand man (or demon, rather). Picture him leading an army of demons, wreaking havoc on unsuspecting villages. Yikes!

Inosuke and Zenitsu would be absolutely devastated. They'd probably try to bring him back to the light, but it would be a tough battle – emotionally and physically. Get the tissues ready!
The Potential Team Reactions
Let's brainstorm how the rest of the crew would handle Demon Tanjiro. It's a crisis that would test even their strong bonds.

Nezuko would be torn. She'd probably see a bit of her old brother in him, but also recognize the demon threat. Sibling rivalry on a whole new, supernatural level!
Zenitsu would be screaming, crying, and probably fainting a lot. Then, when he's conscious, he'd be trying to figure out how to get Tanjiro back, while simultaneously hiding behind Inosuke.
Inosuke, bless his heart, would probably just charge in headfirst, yelling something about how he's going to "defeat the strongest demon ever!" Whether he’s successful or not is up for debate.

The "Happily Ever After?" (Maybe?)
Look, a demon Tanjiro scenario is definitely a dark one. But in the wild world of anime, anything is possible!
Maybe, just maybe, there's a way for him to control his demon powers and become an even stronger protector of humanity. He’d be like a super-powered vigilante, patrolling the night and slaying demons with a newfound ferocity. Who knows!
No matter what, the thought of a demon Tanjiro is a wild ride. It forces us to think about the core themes of Demon Slayer: family, sacrifice, and the struggle between good and evil. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go rewatch the entire series for the tenth time and overanalyze everything.
