Just by looking at Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira and a supporting character in “Demon Slayer,” you’ll realize he is peaceful and won’t break a glass. Always sporting a stoic expression, he dons long, raven-black hair that resembles those of rockstars like Steven Tyler and wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform that you see in other characters, too.
But he’s actually very powerful and mighty. Here are the things you might have missed about Tomioka.
Who Is Giyu?
Well, Tomioka is a central supporting character in the anime, a Demon Slayer part of the legendary Demon Slayer Corps and the Water Hashira of the Taisho era. His looks don’t give justice to what he can do. Peaceful but deadly.
Trivia About This Water Hashira
Read on for some fascinating facts about Tomioka.
1. He Is The Second Most Powerful Hashira
Gyomei Himejima is holding the title here. But, as the second in line, Tomioka is vital so he can finish off even the most powerful demons with such ease. Nevertheless, even the Upper-Rank Demon Akaza considers him the most powerful and skillful Water Hashira in the last 50 years. None of these details will be revealed to you explicitly as you watch the anime.
2. He Is The Creator Of The 11th Form
Typically, a user only possesses 10 Breathing Style forms, but guess what? Tomioka can create the 11th form! Whoa. It’s known as the Dead Form, which he uses to kill the Lower-Rank demon, Rui. This form can cease users’ movements and activate their abilities to deflect approaching attacks. However, though powerful, it isn’t very effective against quick attacks in a row, which means that other lightning-fast attacks can kill him using this form. So sad.
3. He Is A Loner!
Weren’t you able to tell from his stoic looks? Okay, for those who never guessed that Tomioka isn’t the most sociable person in the story. He’s actually a loner to the point that other Hashira tease him for struggling to make friends with the other characters. Ask him, and he’ll tell you he has no interest in making friends as he doesn’t want to be burdened. To each his own.
4. But, He’s A Humble Person
If there’s one thing he can share as a legacy with others, that’s his humility. He has always been humble since he was small. He understands how it feels to be intimidated by other people.
5. Salmon With Radishes Is His Favorite Food
“Disney Dreamlight Valley” stars, can we provide Tomioka with this? Anyway, his favorite food is actually simmered salmon with radishes, explicitly known as sake daikon. This delicioso recipe makes him smile, a rare occasion.
6. He Has A Strong Sense Of Justice
Despite his stoic outlook, Tomioka showcases a strong sense of justice. He doesn’t care if he’d hurt others as long as justice is served. For instance, he lets Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado live even if the latter has become a demon. Others would decide to end the life of Nezuko.
