Why Muzan is after Tanjiro?

Muzan is after Tanjiro primarily because Tanjiro's Hanafuda earrings and Sun Breathing style trigger Muzan's deepest trauma and fear, reminding him of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the legendary demon slayer who nearly killed him centuries ago. While he initially tried to eliminate Tanjiro subtly, Muzan becomes obsessed with the boy, viewing him as a potential vessel to conquer the sun and achieve his goal of immortality, especially after Tanjiro's sister, Nezuko, shows immunity to sunlight.

Why did Muzan go after Tanjiro?

Muzan Kibutsuji's motivation to kill Tanjiro's family was to create a demon immune to sunlight, fulfilling his desire to be unstoppable.

Why is Muzan afraid of Tanjiro?

Muzan fears Tanjiro because Tanjiro's Hanafuda earrings and Sun Breathing (Hinokami Kagura) remind Muzan of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the legendary Demon Slayer who nearly killed him 400 years ago. This deep-seated trauma makes Muzan terrified of anyone using Sun Breathing or bearing the mark of Yoriichi, viewing them as the ultimate threat to his existence and a reminder of his past near-defeat.
 

Why is Muzan so evil?

Muzan's evil stems from a lifelong battle with a terminal illness that fostered extreme narcissism, fear of death, and hatred for humanity, leading him to embrace demonic power for immortality and view everyone as tools or obstacles; he became a monstrous, selfish being who craves absolute power and fears any imperfection or change, acting ruthlessly to achieve his unending life.

Muzan Kibutsuji is finally killed by the combined efforts of the Demon Slayers during the final battle, specifically by being exposed to sunlight after being critically wounded and immobilized by Tanjiro (who used the perfected Sun Breathing techniques inherited from Yoriichi) and other Hashira, with the sun ultimately burning him away, fulfilling the prophecy that sunlight is the only true way to destroy him.

No, Upper Rank One (Kokushibo) is not Tanjiro's father; Tanjiro's father is Tanjuro Kamado, but they share a distant ancestral connection through Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the creator of Sun Breathing, as Kokushibo was Yoriichi's jealous twin brother, and the Kamado family inherited Yoriichi's legacy. Tanjiro's father and Kokushibo look similar to Yoriichi (who looks like Tanjiro) because they descend from the same bloodline and culture.
 

Why can Muzan turn into a girl?

Muzan can turn into a girl (or other forms like a child) because his powerful flesh manipulation ability as the Demon King allows him to shapeshift his entire body, not just his face, to hide his true identity, gather information, and manipulate people, using different forms to access different parts of society and avoid detection by Demon Slayer Corps members and humans. The female guise, often seen as a beautiful, pale woman, serves as a strategic disguise to lull others into a false sense of security or to gain access to resources, notes Anime & Manga Stack Exchange users.

Who is Muzan's favorite demon?

Muzan Kibutsuji has a few demons he showed favoritism towards, notably Rui (Lower Moon Five) for his similar backstory and potential, and Akaza (Upper Moon Three) for his power and loyalty (despite his aversion to eating women). Other favored demons include Nakime (for her useful ability) and Gyutaro (for his strength). Muzan's "favorites" were often based on usefulness, potential, or personality traits that pleased him, like Akaza's seriousness or Rui's desire for family, a twisted reflection of Muzan's own past.

Tanjiro's biggest fear isn't just losing his sister Nezuko, but the deeper dread of failing his mission, not being strong enough to save everyone, and being overwhelmed by regret for those he couldn't protect, stemming from his initial kindness and perceived weakness as a Demon Slayer. He fears not being "enough" to defeat demons and prevent suffering, which drives his relentless perseverance despite the immense pressure and personal sacrifice. 

Can Tanjiro's dad beat Muzan?

It's highly debated, but most fans lean towards no, Tanjiro's sick father (Tanjuro) likely couldn't beat Muzan, as Muzan's immense power and regeneration, plus Tanjuro's poor health and lack of a Nichirin sword/demon slayer experience, are major disadvantages, though Tanjuro was incredibly strong for a human, mastering Sun Breathing (Hinokami Kagura) and accessing the Transparent World, making him potentially strong enough for Upper Moons if healthy, but Muzan is on another level.

He did experience lasting effects like a withered hand and blind eye, but the mark's life-limiting curse didn't claim him, with fans believing his brief stint as a demon might have altered its effects, but the manga confirms he lived long past 25.

He meets and exceeds the requirements to be one early on, but his rapid progression and the sheer power of the Upper Moons he fights solidify his place among the elite, even if unofficial.

Why can't Nezuko heal Kagaya?

Nezuko can't heal Kagaya Ubuyashiki because his illness isn't a demon poison or demonic ability; it's a generational curse placed on his family by Muzan, an ancestor, and her Blood Demon Art only burns away demon cells, demonic poisons, or effects from demon arts, not a supernatural curse. Kagaya's condition stems from a hereditary blight linked to Muzan's origin, making it something only Muzan's defeat can end, not Nezuko's flames.
