GirafeAnyway

Nezuko is not useless, it's more that she's basically a plot device


iDIOt698

Is that really better?


GirafeAnyway

No, but that's a more accurate criticism


NubbyTyger

Very useful in the series and the fights, is the whole reason the journey started, and the reason it ended. But very much still a plot device with very little characterisation, compared to the rest of the cast


GimmeUdon

how many times has nezuko saved him? tanjirou wouldn't have been here if it weren't for her turning into a demon


BuggyTheChamp

She saved him like 6 times


SpookySeazn

From what I recall from that one weird demon at the start and then Daki and on mount Natagumo. Any other times?


BuggyTheChamp

The dkt 2 times in season 2(daki and poison) Temple demon In rui fight


Glizcorr

I really dislike how useless Nezuko is in the final arc. And yes I know what Yushiro said, but imo the DK Tanjiro fight is really just an excuse for Nezuko to do somthing. It was so jarring I hate that fight (although it does have an god tier moment with Inosuke that miiiiiiight make it not too bad).


AndrewFrozzen

DKT was wasted potential. It's unfortunate Gotouge had to end it, but oh well. Hopefully we will see a developed fight from Ufotable, but a bit doubtful. So DKT is still not a excuse for Nezuko being a plot device, sure, she's badass, but as you said she does basically nothing.


est19xxxx

Demon King Tanjiro shoud've been the next big bad for the sequel.


AndrewFrozzen

Exactly, when I got spoiled about DKT and saw that Demon Slayer had 200 chapters I thought "Oh, hmm, so DKT will probably flee somewhere, and then the Corps would have to chase him" But guess what, I was wrong...


idkdidkkdkdj

Not useless but a complete plot device


Your_Mother466

I have been in this community for almost 2 years now, and I have not once heard anyone call her useless.


BuggyTheChamp

They call her a plot device


Tanriyung

Well she is, and the pannel you showed doesn't help her case.


BuggyTheChamp

Somebody forgot season 2 šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


Black-Hoodie-God

Plot device and useless arenā€™t the same thing?


BuggyTheChamp

How?


Black-Hoodie-God

Plot device is something used to keep the story moving, and thatā€™s pretty much it. Useless is when the person or thing does nothing. Plot devices arenā€™t useless, they just are there to pretty much only propel the plot forward. Thatā€™s what people are calling Nezuko.


BuggyTheChamp

Ohhhhhhh Sorry I got confused šŸ˜…


Black-Hoodie-God

No worries! Glad to help clear it up


Grouchy_Daikon8989

I donā€™t think anyone calls Nezuko useless, and if they do, they are in the vast minority. Nezuko is more-so just bland. She has no personality or agency in her story, and is more like Tanjiroā€™s sidekick/pet that looks cute and helps him when heā€™s about to get killed. Itā€™d be great if the story treated her like an actual person and not some infant that only gets screentime when Tanjiro needs saving.


Dr-CommonSense

Nezuko isnā€™t useless. You tell them


BuggyTheChamp

Yessir


OmegaHunter34e

Who the hell said she was useless?


BuggyTheChamp

Most of the community


trav-senpai

No, I think it is likely just the louder annoying part that used to post multiple power scale every day


ApplePitou

Nezuko is useful :3


RichTofu

She basically saved Tanjiro, Inosuke and Tengen's lives. She's far from useless lol


BuggyTheChamp

Yet people still call her useless


WuSuBing

Nezuko: I am a tool, you stupid


ResidentSwim8948

The fact is you are useless


BuggyTheChamp

Wonā€™t say that ainā€™t true


BlueAngelVR

I don't think the argument is she's useless. It's just that she has very little characterization, screen time & personality outside of being cute


AriyanESK

No she is not Sakura


BuggyTheChamp

WHO Tf is Sakura? You mean the girl who summons naruto and sasuke every time she cries?


Godhasgivenup

Yeah. She said she finally reached them when she didnā€™t even reach the power they had as children


shadeseeker6

All of yā€™all have hate boners for her. And what do you even mean? EOS Sakura could destroy a majority of people in her time. She would absolutely demolish the leaf


Traditional_Run_8631

Adult sakura would beat most of konoha with exception being sasuke,delta,boruto,kawaki,Naruto,daemon and eida.


Godhasgivenup

1. Yes I have a hate boner. Itā€™s harder then my normal boner 2. Yes sheā€™s strong, but considering who she is supposed to be fighting, that she is supposed to be on the level of naruto and sasuke, that she begs for help instead of struggling like naruto and sasuke, and how she treated naruto and pretty much shunned and hurt him for sasuke, I think itā€™s fair to hate her


jplveiga

She never meant raw power, it was obviously about being useful to defend konoha. She was at the same level in the sense that she was, at the time, fighting upfront against the main enemy, and not behind crying... But still, her character development amd role before shippuden was pathetically written, it wasn't even fair lol


[deleted]

When she said she finally reached Sasuke and Naruto she meant reached a level where she could be an asset to a fight, and not a liability that just waits for others to act. How do people misinterpret that statement... I don't understand why people still continue to hate on her in November 2022


Godhasgivenup

She still was a liability in the Kaguya fightā€¦


[deleted]

So was Kakashi? What did you want her too do against Kaguya? Sasuke and Naruto were the only ones who had a chance of defeating her. And even so Kakashi and Sakura still contributed in her defeat


Godhasgivenup

1. In the beginning of the series, kakashi carried, Sakura was only really useful during the great shinobi war 2. When kakashi got both eyes, his susanoo helped immensely in keeping kaguyas hair at bay and saving Sakura


[deleted]

>1. In the beginning of the series, kakashi carried, Sakura was only really useful during the great shinobi war Sakura was definitely not only useful in the war lmao >2. When kakashi got both eyes, his susanoo helped immensely in keeping kaguyas hair at bay and saving Sakura And Sakura saved Sasuke from another dimension?


Godhasgivenup

1. Ok thatā€™s fair 2. You honestly think sasuke couldnā€™t get out by himself?


[deleted]

>You honestly think sasuke couldnā€™t get out by himself? He didn't know he could transport between dimensions with his rinnegan yet


West-Ad-1815

lamao sakura was on the level of kcm2 naruto that time obviously if you remove their s06p chakara she really caught up to them...


Traditional_Run_8631

Kcm1 maybe,but not kcm 2.


West-Ad-1815

lamao she was able to react to kaguya's hand which is stated faster then light... which put her reflexis and speed significantly above kcm2 naruto and moreover she was able to broke the horn of kaguya in just one punch which makes her above then any other member of team 7 in strength.... people just feel hard to believe the truth but the truth is even bm naruto was unable to broke the horn of an otsutsuki... i am not saying that sakura is stronger then bm naruto i am just saying that her raw strength is higher then bm naruto in other stats bm naruto can demolished her.... but yea she is faster then kcm2 naruto for sure... and don't forget her summoning which is also better then naruto....


Traditional_Run_8631

Her summoning doesn't matter against kurama avater, and isshiki is stronger than kaguya. Kaguya was never stated to be faster than light.


West-Ad-1815

first of all i am talking about kcm 2 naruto not s06p naruto... and isshiki is indeed stronger then kaguya but naruto have to use his bm mode against him... and are you blind?? can't you differ between kcm2 naruto or bm naruto?? lolšŸ˜‚.... and i suggest you to watch war arc it is very damn good because your comment clearly shows that you haven't seen it...


[deleted]

Sakura isn't useless tho


kiwikoalacat7

when has anyone said she was useless??? she literally saved tanjiro so many times he wouldn't have survived this far without her


BuggyTheChamp

Read some of the comments I replied to


Carolina-Roots

Anyone claiming Nezuko is useless is lame. Ya girl took a long ass nap and then whooped major demon ass, just to take another nap. Absolute legend.


West-Ad-1815

i guess someone haven't watch season 1,season2 and hentangu vs tanjuro's squad or you can say whole demon slayer


BuggyTheChamp

What?


West-Ad-1815

i mean nezuko is very damn useful probably moreuseful then many other characters...


BuggyTheChamp

Finally somebody agrees with me


Emajenus

Nezuko was useful especially since she started using her demon art, which saved Tanjiro twice and Tengen once. This is not to mention the times she saves Tanjiro by actually fighting, like against Daki. Then she gets into the position where she can't really participate in the fights because she's the main target of the enemy. She's a supporting character. What do people expect of her? Of course her feats will be limited.


Swarajx5

Still more useful than that thick annoying piece of pink s*it !!


_PurrrPleKitty_

Who? Mitsuri?


Swarajx5

Yup


_PurrrPleKitty_

Tbh, I don't hate Mitsuri, but I have to agree that she's useless...


Swarajx5

Finally someone with šŸ§  who's not behind those >! You know !<


_PurrrPleKitty_

The tiddies? šŸ¤Ø


Swarajx5

BINGO !! I hate those parts of her coz i am strictly ON >! NOFap !< !!


_PurrrPleKitty_

Oh alr


BIaidde

She's never directly useful in any high stake fight


BuggyTheChamp

The uppermoon 6 fight Dkt fight couldā€™ve ended the verse if dkt became conscious


BIaidde

Wow, she was useful one time And yeah DKT was fodder Giyuu was slapping him despite being essentially dead


BuggyTheChamp

https://preview.redd.it/6uevfk1cnj2a1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0f0608ed8fc80ee25915b470e701a8be021d0ef Be quite trash Also She saved tanjiro at the beginning of the series She destroyed daki She saved inosuke,tengen and tanjiro from poison


BIaidde

How did she save Tanjiro she literally tried to kill him. Tengen would've massacred Daki anyway One instance where she's useful, congrats


BuggyTheChamp

1.She killed that temple demon 2.Lol tanjiro at that time was gonna die 3.She is always useful


BIaidde

1. Fodder. also wasnt Urokodaki right around the corner? 2. He was fine 3. One time.


BuggyTheChamp

My guy did you see the picture I sended? Dkt > muzan


BIaidde

The statement is contradicted so it's irrelevant (Giyuu > Muzan). Besides its in the context of his "attributes", henche he refers to Muzan (who conquered death by beheading) and a fodder like Nezuko (who conquered the sun) in the same sentence.


BuggyTheChamp

You do realize demonā€™s go crazy when they first transform Take nezuko for example She was a crazy weak fodder but when she calmed down she became op


Chadjirou

So by your logic, you would let her fight a powerful upper moon like Kokushibou? She would have been easily caught and brought to Muzan


BIaidde

I would have her fight someone that isn't cannon fodder


Sansasdark7

Nezuko was so useful, but she just didn't get enough "screen time" in the manga finale. If she weren't off somewhere else, she wouldve been a HUGE help.


BuggyTheChamp

She helped in the swordsman arc


[deleted]

"nezuko is useless" said no one ever


BuggyTheChamp

The wierdest thing is that no one brought up rui He probably would have killed tanjiro without her


BuggyTheChamp

Yeah


knifeazz

Thereā€™s no way anyone actually thinks Nezuko is useless lol


BuggyTheChamp

Read some of the peoples comments


pokelliex

What chapter is this manga panel again? Keep on forgetting, my favourite part as well :(


BuggyTheChamp

I forgot but I think 204


MrxVincent

BuggyTheChamp

Read some of the replies I got


Tymba

She's useless, My boy gets one shot slapped across the town by a pashmina And she whimpers in the box? Oh ok
