All the sad moments pale in comparison to Tanjirou's dream.
Tanjirou had to experience the loss of his relatives for the second time.
Demon Slayer is not just an action-packed shonen, but a well-crafted, complex narrative. In the story of a boy who wants to save his sister, drama plays an important role. Dramatic elements are present not only in the lives of the main heroes. They are also present in the stories of secondary characters.
However, some moments are the most heartbreaking. The final battle of Season 3 is universally recognized as one of those scenes. But what if we told you that there is an even more touching scene?
Drama is just as important
As shonen have gotten tougher, heartbreaking events have become more common. Drama has become as important as fighting. Remember how fans scolded MAPPA for their unfortunate use of the opening song at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 17.
However, Demon Slayer doesn't have a problem with emotional scenes. Despite the show's frequent lack of seriousness, the creators manage to skillfully portray traumatized characters.
The scene we're talking about is part of a feature-length movie — Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc. This movie is more often remembered for another tragic event — the death of Rengoku. Flame Hashira was a fan favorite due to his charismatic personality.
Few people noticed, but Tanjirou's dream was no less sentimental. It was perhaps more tragic than other scenes in the anime.
We were wrong
Rengoku's death is certainly an important and sad event, but the final battle between Tanjirou and Hantengu is considered the most tragic moment in the series. Nezuko sacrificed herself in this scene so that her brother could save the village's blacksmiths.
Tanjirou believed that his sister had died because of the sun's rays and became hysterical, but a miracle happened and she was able to withstand the sun's effects. In the seconds when the protagonist mourned the loss, we felt how broken he was.
However, all these moments pale in comparison to Tanjirou's dream in the Mugen Train Arc. The hero was under the demon's influence and fell into a reverie. In the dream he saw his family: they were all alive and happy.
At first, Tanjirou didn't understand that he was asleep, but when he realized it, he had to experience the loss of his relatives for the second time. He could have stayed asleep and would have given anything for that chance if it wasn't for Nezuko who needed help. The moment when Tanjirou's younger brother ran after him was especially sad.
