Boasting a huge following, the show has its fans engaging in various headcanons on a regular basis. One such headcanon some Demon Slayer fans have is that one small change to a character\u2019s appearance could\u2019ve ended the show earlier. Demon Slayer, written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, debuted in 2016 and successfully ran for four years before ending in 2020. The manga was already very popular and became even more so when it received an anime adaptation by ufotable in 2019. After three successful seasons and one record-breaking movie, we\u2019re eagerly anticipating Demon Slayer Season 4. The Hashira Training Arc promises some of Tanjiro\u2019s greatest tests yet. The fans of Demon Slayer are pretty active on the fandom and always discussing one conjecture after another. This new headcanon came from both their active imagination and their appreciation for Tanjiro\u2019s earlier appearance. Demon Slayer could\u2019ve ended earlier if Tanjiro kept his long hair A fan posted on Reddit that if Tanjiro kept his hair long like he had in the beginning, it would\u2019ve changed the trajectory of Demon Slayer and ended the show much earlier. Their statement was supported by a lot of other fans who also claimed that Tanjiro\u2019s long hair might\u2019ve turned the series much shorter. According to them, Kibutsuji Muzan would\u2019ve been triggered by Tanjiro\u2019s long hair and might\u2019ve had a heart attack after seeing him. Some fans joked that Tanjiro\u2019s very sight would\u2019ve triggered Muzan\u2019s PTSD and caused him to run into the sunlight or cry for his Upper Moon demons to save him. The reason some fans think this is because of the similarities in appearance between Tanjiro and Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi was the only person to have bested Muzan. In fact, Yoriichi completely overwhelmed Muzan and almost killed him at their first encounter. The encounter was so traumatizing for Muzan that his body still feared the very memory of Yoriichi after hundreds of years. If Tanjiro had kept his hair long, his first encounter with Muzan would have gone differently. Muzan would\u2019ve cowered at Tanjiro\u2019s appearance who would\u2019ve looked even more similar to Yoriichi with his earrings and long hair. For all we know, the demon progenitor might have just run into the sunlight to spare himself from Yoriichi\u2019s wrath. That would\u2019ve cut Demon Slayer short for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demon Slayer fans think the show could\u2019ve ended much earlier with one small change CrunchyrollIt\u2019s impossible to talk about modern shounen anime and not mention Demon Slayer.
