butterfly girl cute

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” -Shinobu Ali

Shinobu as a name also has a meaning of "endurance". Which is very fitting for her. She endured so much loss, and at the end of her arc she never gave up... even using her own death as a weapon. Big brain.

It's funny how despite not being able to decapitate demons, she stabs one of the most powerfull throug his neck, lift him up and break the ceiling a little.

She's got that ara ara energy to her.

The poison in her blood could be a reference to the monarch butter fly when birds or insects eat the monarch they star to feel sick and won't eat monarchs again

There is something to be said for Shinobu’s anger and desire for revenge. Imagine being so mad, you would delay your own happiness with the people you love most, to stay in purgatory and personally escort your enemy to hell.

Spoilers Like a monarch butterfly, she is deadly when consumed.

Honestly, I really like Shinobu. I hate when people just completely water down her character to butterfly girl who likes to tease people. Like she's honestly a pretty tragic character too, she endured the loss of her sister along with her parents. She knew she wasn't as strong but she tried so hard in the end and it paid off even though well manga readers know. I love when in the manga she would show her true personality, she was rude sometimes but she was an extremely kind person. We can see that when she has a serious talk with kanao about the fight with douma. Kanae recognizes her kindness when shinobu talks about kanaes eyes. Sorry I'm kind of rambling but honestly I could go on and on about how much I love her character 🤷🏽‍♀️

Great character tbh. Her introduction face me chills, especially the line about how many humans you ate. Can't wait to see her final battle adapted in the anime eventually.

I would like to add the fact Shinobu was one of the few Pillars didn't activeted nor discovered the Mark to defeat a High Upper Moon demon. And she was only 18-years-old at the time. 🦋 One of my favorite Pillars! Elegant, deadly and sarcastic. Your videos are so well-researched, informative and entertaining to see. Hope we can see Giyuu or Mitsuri on the next analysis! ( or any other anime )

She was so perfect. Honestly I liked her better than anyone (even Nezuko). Too bad Shinobu is... nvm

she's the cater-pillar *ba dum tss*

I still get super depressed when i think about what happened to Shinobu.

Can we just appreciate Shinobu forcing herself to smile, even when Kanae died?

3:25 “Thunderclap and flash” … *THEM CHEEKS!*

Press F for this fallen pillar

Mistress of Poison. Poison is also a metaphor of the pain she carries through her life. The pain she inflicts on demons is slow and lethal.

Ha! I already spoiled the story for myself! There's nothing you can do to hurt me!

13:25 Actually its 700x more than the lethal dosage. Koyoharu clarified it in the volume release.

She's propably one of the best written female characters in shonen along with Tamayo. New gen shonen has really stepped up their game with writing female characters, now female characters can be more than just fan service and love interests and I love it.

Shinobu is the weakest, but also somewhat the most “powerful” character in KNY. Her death was not going to stop her from helping the others bring down Muzan.

A solid waifu and you can't change my mind.

Shinobu is a true monarch butterfly Graceful, pretty, and awesome

Nobody: Meti: Kanay

The Title says it all Shinobu is beautiful

I watched the first season I'm *really in love with this girl...* Shes very sweet unless she finds you dont deserve her kindness. 10/10

I always thought her personality change was because, Kanae always told her you should smile more, that's why there's a scene in the manga that shows her calming herself down during the training arc. I never knew she changed because she took on Kanae's personality instead. Thanks for making this video it made me love Shinobu even more and also thanks for posting it during Oct 3rd, 2nd Best birthday gift ever! even though I only found out about the video now. welp, time to sub.

She’s epic. She got the last laugh in the end which was amazing.

Bet that demon thought she was a whole snack

She was gone yet not forgotten. Her poison really helped against Muzan

She’s only 82 pounds ;-; I’m actually devastated she’s so tiny omo

Damn she was a great character. A friend of mine made me appreciate Shinobu and having learned about her history and death through this video makes me want to make a figure for her!

Man Rip Kocho I really liked her

the beauty of best girl

3:40 holy shit that little addition makes the whole saying so much more badass

She is so unique and one of the most beautiful anime character ever created

She deserved her mark more than anyone in this series, if she gotten her mark maybe her final attack would have enough pressure to decapitate Doma, and she maybe would have been in the final fight. She deserved so much better

Regardless of what people say, I want to say this about her sacrifice. I think there would greater symbolism, literally and in terms of life lessons, if Shinobu had lived. Gotouge made her story role a little too poetic, which takes and gives certain things. Her living to the end of the story would show how events don't always go as planned or expected. Shinobu spent a whole year preparing for something that was never guaranteed to happen (meeting her nemesis) within the timeframe of her life as a slayer (from a realistic view, its very possible that Shinobu could’ve aged or been injured too much to the point she needed to retire before fighting her chosen foe). What actually did happen in the manga was more due to poeticism in the plot than anything (its fiction though, so it’s usually this way, to my exasperation at times). So then what happens when the plan fails and your forced to accept that by continuing onward? Like, if a theme of Kimetsu no Yaiba is passing on will, why not have Shinobu be forced to do that but in a way where she will be alive to see the end result, fail or not? This would force her to have faith in a battle that she cannot play a any part in (alive or dead I digress) and it means she can only hope it will go the way she wants, which is her nemesis dead and her alive to see the dawn. I think Shinobu is the best Hashira to embody this. Furthermore, it would also teach us more about coming to terms with our losses, mainly by looking at what we have/still have/could have than what we've lost. At the end of the story, Shinobu’s deepest drive in life is no longer necessary/feasible. So how does one cope with that? By focusing on the future not the past, but also the present. Which would be all the Butterfly Mansion inhabitants who still loved and needed her, not just Kanao and Inosuke. And the people/person who she could have later. Out of all the Hashira where we could see these lessons "shown" and not "told" to the best degree possible, Shinobu is the best one to do it. Granted, we do have Sanemi and Giyu, but they never had the same level of support/external binding ties to other people that Shinobu did. I feel it would be more powerful for her to live on and show what reality, rather than fiction, normally presents us with: living despite your losses, finding new bonds, strengthening already existing ones, and coming to terms with a new purpose in life when the defining one for years on end is no longer needed (again, because parts of her character and lore make it more powerful coming from her).

Honestly her sub voice actor is pretty much popular

spoiler: i like how she is so fast that she breaks the floor just from boosting off of it. UNMARKED

Damn really didn't have to show a centipede and that Tokyo ghoul scene.. 😭

Damn. All you gotta do is beat 50 demons or a moon to be a pillar? Our boy forehead lord was prolly a pillar for way more of the story than i realized

The fact that she’s also voiced by Saori Hayami makes it even better

SHE IS NOT WEAK. I feel like she's just useless if a demon is a Strong opponent, like Douma. But In the Manga it is Explained that her Piercing Strength is stronger than any Demon Slayer. But of course we don't need piercing attack when killing a demon. But for a an average human this technique could actually give you instant death. Her Intelligence and Speed is Top in the Demon Slayer Corp. It's just unfortunate that their enemy is demons that could only be killed by Sun and Nichirin Blade. If Demon's Heart is also one of their weakness, She can pierce them instantly.

Thicc poison girl enters the battle

Shinobu is my ultimate favorite anime character cause i love how she could still make it up to having the strength to be a pillet despite her being smaller and weaker than avarage. I really admire how she could just bottle up all those emotions while being a Hashira. To me, she is the strongest character in terms of resilience. We stan a butterfly

The fact she took on her sister's personality to keep her alive in some way is just beautiful. But do not mess with her, you will regret it.

Her speed fighting style with poison and small body reminds me of Soifon frm Bleach and they both like a ninja thing

2:33 The word SHINOBU also means to endure or to miss and think about someone in a distant place. Since Shinobu always endure her past, miss and grieve her older sister; the name actually describes how she lived.

The latest chapters in the manga brings so much to light when it comes to Shinobu

Demons: I reject my humanity, Tanjiro!!!

She's the best girl, cutest, prettiest, and the most beautiful >< in my opinion

She was a great character 😔👏🏻❤️🦋

My favourite butterfly.

Shinobu is my favorite female character in all of fiction.

she is a woman of beauty

shes just cute straight up

I swear, everyone I get attached to in this anime fucking dies. So many heart strings being pulled

Shinobu Injects poison with her blade. She is not poisonous but venomous. However the time when Douma absorbs Shinobu later then taking effect that he is poison. Douma consumed Shinobu now indecates that Shinobu is Poisonous not Venomous. Venom injects while Poison in injest different yet similar.

Nobody: Kocho: :>

I found your videos because I'm a Kimestu no Yaiba fan and I love your analysis and how you incorporate history and cultural lore into your videos. I cant wait to check out more. Awesome stuff.

She is best shounen female character

When u realize if she could thrust with insane power;her sword could have a type of extension that’s like a rectangle shape at the tip of her sword so a thrust can cut off demons heads😃

I like her breathing style it’s very cool and amazing even though she lacks strength to cut oof demon heads

Alternate Title: An analysis on the world's cutest psychopath

Damn...her sister showed up after death and said ''pull yourself together'' LMAO

Shinobu's 1st dance, the lunging animation really reminds me of Hajime Saito's attack or Himura Kenshi's Hiten Mitsurugi style attacks...

Spoiler : I’m announcing my love interest with Shinobu

Imagine if someone said “that weak girl defeated an upper moon demon?! It’s so powerful”

You have some of my favorite videos on youtube

14:19 ' beautiful but _aBSOLUTELY TERRIFYING_ ' It was so deadpan swear I heard actual fear in your voice-

I really like her and it's sad that she died in her battle against upper demon.... After that arc I won't see her again... 😿

best purple insect girl

I'm loving all the Demon Slayer videos you've been uploading recently. Thank ye.

thinking about making a a playlist of every intro song you have for these types of videos, they are just so cool

im sad again, thanks

DO KANAE KOCHO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! (Reason: THREE SISTER IN A ROW OF REVERSED AGE WOULD BE A RECORD!!!!!)

She did NOT deserve to go out that way man...she really did deserve to walk away from that fight and live the happy life her sister wanted for her.

Thank you! Shinobu is my favourite character! But I’ve been enjoying all your character presentations. Incidentally, tombo or tonbo - dragonfly - can also be thought of as an abbreviation of “tondeiru bou” or “flying stick”.

I love how you use fanart in every video's background.

I read the chapter to avoid the future pain. Still gonna cry like a little bitch when this is animated.

Shinobu earned her hashira status herself. She may not be powerful enough to take an upper rank on her own, none of the Hashiras could, but she is powerful enough to take on lower moons. To become a hashira you only need to defeat one moon, upper or lower. This is why Tanjiro was shown to not be able to defeat Rui, lower five, as that would put him on hashira level. Which would throw the story off. Which would also be why Muzan was so angry at the lower moons as they were dying so quickly. Which suggest that the lower moons were killed more frequently then we thought. The fight with Rui showed that once a possible location of a moon was found a hashira would be dispatched right away. So it would make sense that all of the hashiras likely has killed a lower moon, including the Mist Hashira who is younger than Tanjiro and co.

A new video from Meti? Me: *What year is it?!*

Meti for the love of beans it's Kanae(カナエ) Kah-Nah-E.

Kinda sad. She told every pillar about her plan to be eaten by doma except to giyuu. God that ship that never sail.

The title isn't lying. What is Shinobu if not beautiful?

The creator later fixed this but it wasn't 70 it is 700x the lethal amount.

Yeah she's beautiful, we know that, thank you

Good video. Now we need one for best girl Inosuke

Oh nice this is good inspiration for my demon hunter type stories

Very nice vid ! Where did you find the images ? 🦋 Edit : AAAAH I WUV IT

Omae wa moe I already read this chapter weeks ago still doesn't change the fact it hurts that she's gone 😔😭

Am I the only one that has a problem with her sword? She needs a thrust centric weapon and yet it´s about the worst possible design for that very purpose. 1) The tip is too broad and the fact that it necks down makes it very likely to get stuck 2) The blade is likely poorly balanced for thrusting 3) The blade might not be stiff enough for thrusting. 4) the guard doesn´t allow to change the hand position to relieve the wrist 5) the two-handed grip makes no sense and isn´t angled to relieve her wrist. Don´t get me wrong, I prefer cut oriented weapons, but for her, a smallsword would be so much better. PS: a rapier would be most definitely too heavy for her as well!

it surprises me how very little people mention her when talking about the best new gen manga female characters

I love insects, so to see insects being used as a theme for a power, especially for a female, I couldn't help but love her by default! Normally gender doesn't matter for such things to me, but making the insect pillar female subverts expectations and norms. It's usually stereotyped that boys like icky-yucky-creepy-crawlies while girls are scared of them. Needless to say I've gotten bullied for it by other kids and bothered by adults for it lol. It's just a super cool thing to see!

Spoiler: Honestly I’m surprised why no one mentions that while Shinobu wasn’t present in the final battle, it’s the poison that she and Tamayo created together that weakens Muzan.

"Ay ay ay ay I'm a little butterfly" -shinobu

YOU HAVE TO DO MORE OF THESE :O maybe another one of the pillars like Mitsuri or Tokitou

i love her
