Though not entirely similar in execution, Tanjiro's father and his practice of the Dance of the Fire God serve much of the same purpose as the Buddhist practice of Goma Taki. It is a ritual when wood is burnt, symbolizing the destruction of negative energy and undesirable wishes and longing. Likewise, the ritual practiced by the senior Kamado is me...
Serrated weaponry is when a blade is made with several sharp grooves along the edge of the sword, intended to cause more bleeding than an otherwise ordinary armament. While this technology existed in other corners of the world, it was not practiced in feudal Japan. The closest thing the ancient Japanese had to Inosuke'siconic weaponry was the kanab...
While ancient Japanese warriors did not project a brilliant flash of lightning whenever they drew their katanas, the fundamental idea behind Zenitsu's first form is one based in history. It was called Iatjutsu, a martial technique dedicated to quickly drawing one's weapon, practiced for defense and offense alike. Ironically, there were only two for...
Calvary served a massive role in Japan's military. Armies without horses would sometimes clash with those who had them, resulting in a staggeringly lopsided victory in the latter's favor. The two handed longbows they carried made them vulnerable to attack, and accordingly, they relied on mobility and armor to protect them. The samurai practiced Yab...
The clothing worn by most of the show's character is historically accurate. Nezuko's kimono is similar to many of the dresses worn by the women of ancient Japan, both in pattern and aesthetic.

Operating under the assumption that the Demon Slayer Corps works much like the samurai (if nothing else, for the purpose of maintaining the peace), their behavior is dramatically different. Whereas the slayers worked as a sort of vigilant protectors who operated in the peasantry's interest from the shadows, the samurai were less benevolent. For exa...
One of the features Demon Slayer is most historically accurate to is the architecture that is featured. Their sliding, framed wooden doors, tiled ceilings, and slanted parapets are much like those of ancient Japan.

In Japanese culture, it's common for one to wear a mask of a patron they are either trying to honor or emulate. For instance, the kitsune mask represented prosperity and were often worn in festivals celebrating similar themes. Appropriately, the mask Inosuke wears is of the Japanese boar, otherwise known as the white mustached pig. These animals kn...
More often than not, demons are cast in a negative light in the anime. Nezuko was stabbed repeatedly, her tormentor attempting to coax her into aggression to demonstrate an ill conceived point about the monsters he slew. However, demons are not always malevolent in Japanese myth. Some demons do not actually work to the bane of humanity, they work t...

- THEY DON'T HAVE TO EAT HUMANS. Depending on the perspective, this is either sad or cruel. It’s true that demons often find themselves overcome with a hunger that can only be sated by consuming humans.
- CAN'T SAY MUZAN'S NAME. Muzan Kibutsujji is a dangerous, unforgiving man. He’s shown no mercy to anyone, from people who’ve mistakenly crossed him to even his own subordinates.
- CAN'T BE DESTROYED BY TRADITIONAL WEAPONS. While the series is called Demon Slayer, it’s actually far harder to slay a demon than it might seem. Because of their supernatural powers, ordinary humans don’t actually stand a chance in combat with a demon.
- CAN GROW FROM MUZAN'S BLOOD. More often than not, Muzan prefers that anyone he selects as a demon becomes stronger on their own. This usually occurs through having them consume other humans, gaining strength with each life they take.
