Demon Slayer fans celebrate the \u201cmost underrated character\u201d CrunchyrollAs Demon Slayer marches on, fans are starting to appreciate some of the finer details in the story. Particularly, one character without whom nothing would be possible. You may remember, when Demon Slayer started, Tanjiro encountered a man who warned him against going too far up a mountain at night. This one guy, who\u2019s only ever appeared in the anime show once so far, indirectly saved Tanjiro\u2019s life, spurring the entire narrative. As Demon Slayer Season 4 continues, adapting the Hashira Training Arc on our way to the final fight with Muzan, fans are recognizing this man from the first episode for the hero he is. Named Saburo, he\u2019s been dubbed the \u201cmost underrated character\u201d on Reddit, with a slew of tributes. \u201cFor real, that man saved the entire world because he didn\u2019t want the child to be unsupervised,\u201d reads one comment. \u201cMan practically saved the world out of caution and kindness,\u201d says another. More than one commenter can\u2019t even recognize the man\u2019s face, spurring the argument of just how under-valued he is to the overall fandom. Without Saburo, who knows what would\u2019ve happened. Tanjiro could\u2019ve been a demon victim, and we wouldn\u2019t have the story we know and love. Tanjiro is the only full survivor of the attack on his family, which inspires him to join the Demon Slayer Corps. His sister, Nezuko, is partially turned into a demon, and he wants to find a cure. To do that, he has to join the efforts against all things demonic. Saburo put all of that in motion. He\u2019s like the exact opposite of Muzan, a regular person whose protective and empathetic instincts preserve the light in a world that\u2019s often vanishingly dark. Without giving too much away, you may see him again towards the end of Demon Slayer, too \u2014 but that\u2019s for another arc. If you\u2019d like to learn more about the franchise, we have breakdowns of every living Hashira and all six stages of Hashira Training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
