Demon Slayer: Unraveling the Lightning-fast Attacks of Zenitsu Agatsuma

Zenitsu, a character from the popular anime series Demon Slayer, initially faced criticism for his cowardly nature. However, when he debuted his impressive fighting abilities in season 1, fans quickly embraced him. His flashy fighting style, combined with stunning visuals, significantly boosted his popularity. Since then, fans have been eager to learn more about the speed of his attacks.

It's difficult to accurately measure their speed based on their movements on screen. Without specific figures or standardized values, it's impossible to determine their exact speed.

Zenitsu's lightning-fast movement in Kimetsu No Yaiba is truly impressive. His first attack, the Thunderclap and Flash, is a sight to behold. Despite some questions about its authenticity, Hulu posted Japanese information on a board in the Demon Slayer series.

The final line on the board was fan-translated to reveal that Thunderclap and Flash have a speed of around 171.2 kilometers per hour. If accurate, Zenitsu's basic attack surpasses the speed of the majority of demon hunters. (Screengrab via Reddit/KimetsunoYaiba)

Zenitsu Agatsuma's speed in Demon Slayer is impressive, but it's not his fastest. In the Entertainment District arc, he showcased a Godspeed variant of his Thunderclap and Flash attack, allowing him to move even faster. The exact speed isn't quantifiable but it surpassed the base variant. Additionally, Zenitsu's base speed has greatly improved, evident in his instant defeat of Upper Moon 6 demon Kaigaku, who was also a Thunder Breathing user. This showcases Zenitsu as potentially one of the fastest demon hunters of his generation.

Despite utilizing Thunder Breathing techniques and physical enhancements from the demon transformation, Kaigaku was swiftly overwhelmed. It's evident that the Godspeed variant is at least 2-3 times faster than the standard Thunderclap and Flash attack.

In conclusion, Zenitsu is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, characters in the Demon Slayer series.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am fascinated by the lightning-fast attacks of Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer. His ability to move at incredible speeds and defeat powerful demons is truly remarkable. I appreciate the detailed analysis provided in the article, which sheds light on the specific techniques and enhancements that contribute to Zenitsu's speed. It's amazing to see how his character has evolved from being initially disliked to becoming a fan favorite due to his impressive combat abilities.

However, I believe that the focus on speed alone does not fully capture the essence of Zenitsu's character. His journey of overcoming his fears and insecurities, as well as his unwavering loyalty to his friends, are equally important aspects that make him a compelling and relatable figure. I would love to see more exploration of these dimensions in future discussions and analyses of Zenitsu's character.
