Kaigaku

And when you think he can't possibly get faster, he cranks it up with his Godspeed attack when he fights Daki in the Entertainment District.

And then when he fights Kaigaku, he becomes even faster, using his very own Seventh Form, God of Fire and Thunder, dashing so insanely fast that Kaigaku doesn't even realize what hit him, while Zenitsu sliced him down in a flash of lightning shaped like a freaking dragon.

So okay, Zenitsu's the fastest, but that's thanks to his breathing style.

So who's the fastest if it's just running speed? Well, then it's obviously Tengen.

one- It really is such a good way to, understanding this movie, this piece of media, I think it is a kind of good way to understand it.

I think equating it to the physical that we're gonna get more into even more, even in this next bit with Kaigaku versus Onitsu, and then after that with Akaza versus Giyu and Tanjiro, but even there where obviously it's far more a physical aspect here that's being expressed and it's almost this positive inverse of like the sort of power uh dynamic that demons are tapping into but the positive flip side of it you know requires you know unflinching you know uh essentially tons of discipline of oneself and focus and perseverance i mean it's not just physical i mean you keep bringing it back to stuff we do Um, and I mean, I guess to, to that point, I mean, not that I would say I'm not accusing any of like podcasters like are more grifty or whatever of being like demons, but I guess in that same way, there is almost a similar sort of path or even more of a, like just kind of, we mean you, we tend to be more interested in the substantive sort of things into books and to actual information that we can then build upon, um, I mean, that doesn't mean there isn't any, you know, any room for, you know, some pizzazz here and there.

But I think you kind of get what I'm getting at the kind of the idea of this, like, you know, just kind of this constant unflinching kind of essentially more disciplining oneself essentially making oneself better towards some purpose, you know, in almost a monk sort of way.

Look, this character specifically, Shinobu Kocho, or I believe was her name, she resonated with me, her mentality.

Perfect segue into the next act, which is...

Which also, I mean, there's that, the aspect of someone that matters and people mattering and not being so, I don't know, involved in oneself.

And I think there's also in this dynamic of Zenitsu versus Kaigaku that we're going to get to.

There's also a little bit of an aspect of maybe sympathies, not maybe an understanding of, you know, because you see Doma, who's like this, you know, from birth evil and to the greatest degree evil by the end.
