I’d say Rengoku’s repeated encounters with wolves is to show him as a sheepdog, fighting to protect the weak (people/sheep) who can’t protect themselves from the wolves/demons.

All Might: "I want to protect and save people, so that they know someone is out there who will save them, and I want to do it with a smile." Rengoku: "Hold my bento boxes"

Rengoku was a great character and we should all adopt what he stood for …. Rest In Peace

Watched this arc with my twin 6yr old daughters. when he died, the younger of the two cried so hard for like 20min like someone she knew irl died. Her sister did everything she could to console her that it ended up making her bawl her eyes out too. It was the cutest thing EVER

"SET YOUR HEART TO BLAZE" best scene

this man is just like itachi was barely in the anime/manga but is loved by so many Edit:wow thank you guys so much for all the likes on the comment

Bro. I watch a lot of your vids because you have a talent for explaining things without too much filler related content just to buff up the minutes for a vid. You keep it focused and only add parts that are of value to the story. But this video brought something extra for me. You really went the extra mile. Which makes it seem that like you really like talking about the subject. I Just wanted to let you know that you won me over with this video. You really nailed rengoku's chararcter. So i am definitley subscribing. Keep up the great work. We need more people like you on youtube. Mad respect bro. Greetings from Amsterdam.

Rengoku, honestly, is what I aspire to be. As a psychology student, they teach us that we are studying to help people, to strenghten them, to allow them to find themselves and their path. I read the entirety of Demon Slayer as it was coming out, but the one character that always stood to me, the one character I related to was him. A person who chooses to empower those around him, a person who chooses to help, a person who is willing to give, a person who finds joy when others are saved. That is who I want to be. That is what I am studying for.

Always happy to see the branching out your explanations are to enjoyable to be limited to one series

I absolutely loved this vid. Alotta people downplay Rengoku and supplement their argument with "he died". In terms of potential I believe he is a clear #2 because as much of a Rengoku fan boy that I am I believe Muiichiro's potential is in its own class. But that doesn't lessen Rengokus potential even one bit, and the mere fact that he had to teach himself flame breathing speaks volumes to his strength. The fact that he died fighting solo against Upper Moon 3 is pretty much a badge of honor, not to mention akazas constant praise of his abilities. This man was truly a legend, till his final moments, with that final gentle smile knowing he did all he could to live up to his own values just cements what an absolutely great man he was.

There's not many deaths in shows movies anime etc that make me cry or even just emotional but even with the short time we got with rengoku I shed tears. The message that he gives at the end was extremely powerful he will definitely be a remembered character for a long time

THANK YOU! Thanks for this vid man. You really made me cry while I was watching. To know all this about a character I already loved made me realize how much anime and shows in general can truly change a life. All I can do is thank you for this moment you gave me. ❤️🔥

My favorite is Tengen Uzui. Hopefully they make some mangas about him and share more of his backstory

As soon as he was introduced I got so attached just to have my world shattered moments later

Bro he’s one of those characters who doesn’t last very long but his impact on the show lasts the entire run like stain and kamina

I miss rengoku so much

You nailed it. Rengoku is one of the most inspirational and motivational characters ever. Mugen Train shookd be required viewing for Life Coaches.

I love when you make videos about demon slayer . I love them and would love to see more of them coming . Love❤️

Demon Slayer I'd say doesn't get enough love! To be honest Rengoku passion for what he does is something that never got old even for the little screen time he actually had. It was sad when his character died, but the impact was definitely felt while he was here! Definitely A dope video though! Thank you for the work and effort you put into these videos!

Amazing video as always. I also wanted to thank you for your comments at the beginning recognizing peoples financial situations and wanting to support their favorite artists. Looking forward to the next video

When a writter tell me, they can't make me love a carácter in 45 minute, i just said Rengoku. I didn't know anything about him, but after the movie i was just crying for him...

I thought this was just going to be a recap so I was hesitant to watch it but it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful analysis!! One of my favourites. I absolutely love how you analyse and explain rengoku’s depth. Every single analysis of this character has some different view of him, and yours was one of my favourites so far!! Hope you delve into demon slayer and more modern anime more often, can’t wait to see them

I can’t even lie this man has gotten me through so many poops very good content for when ya doing ya business lol

I’m pretty sure that the reason he fights so many wolves is that he is the hashira that protects the sheep with his whole soul.

Rengoku is my favorite hashira ❤️ I hope his manga gets a little anime of its own. But man I wish he was still alive..

Can we get a “you know nothing about yami sukehiro”?

Im excited for you to be covering new anime, now you can pump put so much more information in these videos without reiterating everything every time

Shout out: Maplewood, MN @ Maplewood Mall- Blueprint Burger Restaurant's Rengoku burger is SO GOOD! So worth the trip 😇

Thank you brother. Very inspirational. Wish I could become a member. Youve helped me get through they hard times this past month with a break from reality. Thank you.

Awesome video man. Can you do Yuriichi next? He is such a mystery and would love to know more about him.

Gosh the way you told his story… I almost cried.

Don't forget the mugen train cd drama. The most emotional of all the Rengoku related material out there...

I always say “Rengoku is my favourite Hashira”. Rengoku is what I imagine as that kid stands up against the Bully even if he knows he’s going to get beat up.

Been here since 23k can't wait till you reach the million 💯

I haven’t watched Demon Slayer but I will still watch EVERY one of your Demon Slayer videos! I enjoy watching you talk about whatever anime you love and will always give you my views 😁

Saves 200+ people from a demon, then from the crashing train they are all on, then boss battle to the death. No excuses were made.

I love to see you branching out and doing other anime and manga. Keep doing what you love dude

I know I'm not the only one that thinks rengoku's manga would make an awesome ova

Great topic Nick! Keep up the amazing videos dude! WEEB ALLIANCE STRONG!!!

dont wanna spoil the manga but "set your heart ablaze" being mentioned at the end made me tear up

I'm not crying, your crying!

Rengoku one of the few characters that an you know nothing videos can make me cry

I wish they animated Rengoku’s story

Yup rengoku was amazing he set my heart ablaze

Thank you for making this, it was more important and impactful than you could ever imagine.

I always love your non Naruto videos, I need more

I don't know why..but Rengoku and Escanor are the only characters that changed my life. Rengoku KNEW he was a dead man. And he smiled through it.

Rengoku is also similar to Nana Shimura (Mha).I mean you know what she said to Toshinori/All might "Those who smile are the strongest" how wholesome~🤗🤗 To be honest I really like Rengoku's character,he's so bright and shiny LMAO.Even when I rewatched the episode where they first met Tanjiro and Nezuko,he was talking about killing Nezuko while smiling so brightly and talking really loud. My favorite character here is actually Shinobu so far,after rewatching and rewatching how she always smile and talk about torturing and killing demons painfully while having a smile is so damn badass,which is also similar to Rengoku though of course she has a very soft and mellow voice.I also really like Mitsuri,her specialty in being more agile and 8th times stronger than ave. humans is really cool for someone as sweet as her.How she handles her whip-like Nichirin blade is so amazing to look at that's why I'm really waiting for the animated Season 3 though I've already read the whole manga. Anyway thanks for the video:3

Interesting to note that Hairo is hinted to be a former member of the Shinsengumi, a Japanese police force back in the Bakamatsu period known as the Wolves of Mibu for their ruthless ability to cut down criminals. This is seen with Hairo’s flashback where he and others wear the turquoise haori that the Shinsengumi wear

@NChammer 23 I was at my limit. If you cried, I would have broken down. Job well done on this one. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

His mom is definitely proud of him.

Tasty! I finally found the time to watch the Mugen Train Arc and damnnnn. It was sad but Rengoku was badass.

I know nothing about him and I don't want to know anything about him

My favorite character is senemi the wind hashira he made a cold insane dramatic entrance and it is cool that he has battle scars and makes a good ruthless character

Rengoku is really a true hero in every aspect of the word

It’s sad to think about, but Shinjuro wasn’t wrong about Kyojuro being the last flame Hashira… The defeat of Muzan eventually led to the disbandment of the Hashira, therefore Kyojuro died as the final flame pillar

This video makes me like Rengoku even more

ive been subbed since 20k and your channel is goals for me...I wish there was a handbook for anime YT but your vids r factual and beyond inspiring ...oh yea thank you for shedding light on my child Rengoku..

these be so amazing should do these with black clover and one punch man or any other anime you deep in !!! keep up the great work mang!!!!

Man hell of a video my guy probably my favorite you have done.

Loved this video as always man. Digging the background music too. Nice and jazzy\Jizzy. (YES jizzy is a music genere it’s the type of jazz the space band in Star Wars plays/bands inspired by them play they’re called Jizz wailers)

Zenitsu became my favorite due to him making a handicap into a unique and powerful ryuha. Shinobu is my favorite Hashira but Rengoku is just wholesome. I'm mad he died so soon... He'd have been SOMETHING if he got his mark With that said, I appreciate you covering Demon Slayer topics, even though there isn't nearly as much fluff to flex with.

this demon over here reading jujitsu kaisen tryna be like Megumi Fushiguro 😂😂😂

If RenGOATku had awoken a demon slayer mark when he used his 9th form on Akaza, he probably would have taken Akaza’s head

Great content I love it when you mix it up with stuff like this and yes he is definitely one of the best characters in the show of not the best but yeah great video 🔥🔥🔥

Just saying imagine if mitsuri sat down and started teaching someone younger flame breathing to be a demon slayer and carry on the flame legacy. Wouldve been a cute little thing 💜

Great Easter video! Rengoku has so many qualities I celebrate today.

Honestly I personally think that rengoku was carrying the will of d like oden since both protected the weak and died with a smile on their faces while an enemy had some sort of respect for them in the forms of akaza and kaido

Hey man just started watching your videos the other day, and have binged through atleast 20 of them. I just finished watching your Nen explained video, and noticed how you made it a point that you believed you wouldn’t get as many views since it wasn’t Naruto. But as a man of a culture, as are you I love many different anime and look forward to your videos that branch away from Naruto content. Good content bro keep it up

Rengoku protected the weak because of several reasons: his dad was a hashira and saw his dad as a hero; he couldn't help his mom live; his dad completely lost his mind and treated him and his brother like crap; it was the most important lesson his mom ever taught him. After his mom died, he took on his mom's role and protected his brother from his dad. I'm sure his experience with the morbidity of demons finally set it in. Rengoku may have been the first hashira to die in our timeline of the series but he had a major role on Tanjiro the rest of the series. *Spoilers if you haven't finished the manga* Rengoku seems to pop into all of the hashira's minds when they're on the verge of dying, whether it happens or not. Considering Tanjiro used Yoriichi's blade and Rengoku's guard by the time he fought Muzan, he had the spirit of the original Sun & Fire Breather with him. In the end, he even beats the sunlight and doesn't let him affect him. In the end, look which hashira was first to push Tanjiro out of the grip of Muzan. It took two demon slayers with breathing based around heat to set up the strength and determination for the last one to kill him. Ironically, these three essentially had to learn their reapective breath styles on their own (Yoriichi created breathing styles but that's even more amazing). In the end, Muzan was ironically killed by nature rather than a weapon since the sun came up and burned him.

rengoku is so goated and inspirational

He underestimate my ability to know demon slayer lore

I Loved Rengoku the first time i saw him 😭

Thanks for video ❤ I so much love this a great character! He is a legendary Hero ❤️‍🔥 for me he is number one in demon slayer

He do be the best boi!! 😭😭❤️❤️

This video was... TASTY!

Something I dont think you mentioned with rengoku father is that after rengoku mother died and he took to drinking and stop teaching his sons is that he doesn't want them to become demon slayers. As a hasira he has seen many comrades fall in battle and after his wife died he couldn't stand the notion of seeing his sons go out in battle and dying so he discourage them from fighting and becomes distant in hopes they will leave the demon slayer corps.

Love all your content! Have you thought about doing this type of thing for all the hashira?

I’m so happy u make these videos much respect 🫡

You just made me cry again 😭

Super underrated character and it's sad because he was so strong. Lost to #3 demon, but he fought him solo and even earned his praise.

Dude I am loving this keep it up. Will look forward to the future Naruto AND Demon Slayer content

I finished demon slayer after watching it for a week and a half after work rengoku became my favorite even if he doesn’t have three wives who is my second

U should do a vid on giyu He’s my favorite :))

i havent seen Demon Slayer nor had i known who Rengoku was but I watched the video and I’m quite interested in this series!

Maybe anime characters can teach me something good. I might just learn from Rengoku.

Yes, but have you listened to the Mugen Train audio drama CD in Japanese where Rengoku and Mitsuri go on a shopping date and go eat noodles together? 👀

28:56 The only thing I agree with throughout this entire video

the background music in the intro ate

Rengoku is sort of like Hashirama if you think about it. Madara and Hashirama are exact opposites. Akaza and Rengoku are exact opposites. Akaza craves power, just like Madara, but Rengoku, like Hashirama, lives his life to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and just anyone in general. Akaza and Madara want to enslave the world, either by Infinite Tsukuyomi or by Killing every weak being and turning the strong into demons. Hashirama offers to kill himself in the place of Madara because he knows if Madara is killed, more hate will come to be. Hashirama and Rengoku live their life with only one hate: the slaughter of innocent people, While Madara and Akaza live their life trying to enslave the weak to their power.

DEMON SLAYER!? I can't get jiggy with your eclectic knowledge of different anime universes. How dare you branch out with content that weaves all fans here together. Who do you think you are?! Keep it up, brutha.

set your heart ablaze 🔥

Now that you got me in tears.

I just created an amv abt rengoku vs akaza and am getting sadder and sadder hearing abt akaza vs rengoku

Nc puts so much effort in this vid I just love this guy

I wanna cry right now no cap bruh time to take a shot for Rengoku

This video made me start the series

Man who started cutting onions 😭

my favorite since mugen train was and always will be rengoku

Tengen or Innosuke had been my favorite
