The 4 animals, the snake, Mitsuri
Yo what’s up guys, welcome back to another video. In this video, we will be showcasing
all the animals and pets in Demon Slayer. We will be including information from the anime,
side stories and anything that’s officially canon.
This video will be containing spoilers for Demon Slayer. Some information which is
only revealed during the finale is important in order to explain in detail some of these pets.
Anyways, let’s get started with the first animal,
who’s also my favorite for pretty obvious reasons: Chachamaru, the demon cat. Its
first appearance is on episode 13 and he assists with Tamayo's medical research with Demon blood.
No information is given on the cat’s backstory,
it is simply introduced as Tamayo's familiar used as a transport mechanism for her medical studies.
It can be presumed that it has been helping Tamayo and Yushiro for quite some time. Like many cats,
Chachamaru likes pets, and will briefly stop for them before returning to its work.
Yushiro decided to Demonize Chachamaru before the historical battle against Muzan, however
no specific details are given regarding the process of its transformation.
Chachamaru first appears after Tanjiro's battle with Kyogai,
initially it arrives invisibly until it meows and is revealed to Tanjiro. Once the blood is tucked
into the box on its back, Chachamaru hops away and becomes invisible once again to avoid detection.
As a feline, it did not posses any magical powers. However,
it was able to disappear due to a spell of invisibility cast on it by Yushiro,
it would activate this spell by meowing whenever it arrived to collect blood.
After it became demonized, Chachamaru possessed the ability to withstand beheading
as seen when Yushiro was able to put it back together after it was dismembered by Muzan.
It seems like it likes Tamayo, but finds Yushiro annoying. That’s all we know
so far about Chachamaru. Let’s now go over probably my second favorite pet, Kaburamaru.
Kabarumaru is Obanai Iguro’s pet snake, although he considers him more as a friend. Kabarumaru
has been with him for more than 9 years, first meeting when Obanai was just a child.
It helps Obanai in combat and is also very friendly towards everyone.
In Japanese culture, white snakes are considered good luck for attaining
wealth. Kaburamaru possesses a unique ability which allows him to read and
predict a target's attacks and then relay that information to Obanai.
The full extent of this technique is demonstrated when Obanai is completely blinded by Muzan,
but he is still able to continue fighting effectively. Kaburamaru also seems to be
capable of understanding human speech and emotions,
as he understood Tanjiro's instructions to grab Yushiro's paper talisman and later shed tears
when watching Obanai and Mitsuri pass away. Kanao herself stated that Kaburamaru was very clever.
After Obanai's death, Kaburamaru is entrusted to Kanao by Sanemi.
Next up we have the Kasugai Crows, they are crows that are used by the Demon Slayer Corps,
primarily for communication. Each of them are assigned to a Demon
Slayer Corps member and they deliver missions to their designated members.
These crows are special in that they can speak in full sentences, though their speech is very
loud and limited. For the most part, they look and speak the same, some exceptions being Muichiro's
crow, who has feminine eyelashes and can speak normally most of the time, and Zenitsu's Crow,
Ukogi, who is actually a sparrow instead of a crow and can't actually talk.
Tanjiro’s crow is very intelligent. He named itself and seems the have a large
ego. He also hates Zenitsu for the way he treats women. Zenitsu’s “crow” is the only
sparrow that appears in the series and the only one to pass the Kasugai
Crow Test. He doesn’t have the ability to talk and his family was killed by demons.
Inosuke’s crow is very intelligent, although a bit scared of Inosuke after he tried to eat him.
Giyu’s crow is very old and sometimes forgets to send messages, causing Giyu to be worried.
Rengoku’s crow quietly showed Tanjiro the route to Rengoku’s house
out of consideration for his master's wishes. Tengen’s crow
is very fashionable and wears jewels. He is said to be a fashion model for other crows.
Muichiro’s crow has flashy eyelashes, doesn’t get along with other crows
and is very proud of Muichiro. She also doesn’t allow Muichiro to own other pets,
as she gets jealous. Mitsuri’s crow wears a clover-shaped crown and appears to be nervous and
fidgety. It’s rumored she has a sweet tooth as a result of how often she has tea time with Mitsuri.
Obanai’s crow told him about how Muichiro turned his blade red.
Sanemi’s crow reported with top speed the moment Muzan attacked the Ubuyashiki Mansion.
Gyomei’s crow reported to the constantly changing battle situation in the Infinity Castle to Gyomei.
I skipped a few crows such as Genya’s because they weren’t as interesting as the others.
Each crow has 2 names: one childhood name given to them by the current leader,
and one they later receive from the corps member they’re assigned to. If the corps
member that the crow was assigned to dies, the crow might be assigned to
another member. If such a thing happens, the name given by the former member is respected.
Some crows like to go by the name given to them by the leader while some,
such as Tanjiro's crow, opt to give themselves their own name. After the battle against Muzan,
the crows were allowed to live freely, though sometimes they would come to
visit the Ubuyashiki estate as well as the surviving corps members they were assigned to.
After the battle against Muzan, Muichiro's crow became weak and sickly.
She was comforted by Tanjiro's crow and both crows eventually got married.
That’s all we know so far about crows, we’ll now be going over the buff mice.
Ninju also referred to as Shino Buff Mice—are intelligent mice that work for Tengen Uzui.
They made their first appearance during the Entertainment District Arc.
The mice are specially trained for the purpose of being assistants to Tengen and his acquaintances,
as seen during the events of the Entertainment District. They are
strong enough to carry one sword per mouse,
and are capable of navigating small spaces humans normally wouldn't be able to do.
That’s about it, they literally appear for just a few seconds and never appear again.
The next and final one we will be looking at is the dog Taro.
Taro only appears in the Giyu Tomioka side story manga.
Taro is a shiba dog owned by Yae who travelled with her on her quest. He was killed by Matazo,
Yae’s father, when they encountered him. Taro's been Yae's dog since her childhood,
and seems very loyal to her. Yae cares deeply about him.
Similar to the buff mice, Taro only appears for half a chapter so there’s not much information
and that’s all we know so far. Thank you for reaching the end of this video,
