“Kimetsu no Yaiba” or “Demon Slayer” is about to conclude its fourth season with a total of 8 chapters. After the broadcast of 7 episodes, the series has reached an outstanding level in the world of entertainment, consolidating itself as the favorite of the season, according to various surveys and ratings. It has managed to eclipse its contemporaries, including the recently released “Kaijuu No. 8” and the veteran “My Hero Academia.”
Recently, it was revealed that the fourth season of “Demon Slayer” would only consist of 8 chapters. Chapter number 7, broadcast last Sunday, stood out for iconic moments, such as the appearance of Muzan as the main villain against Kagaya, the leader of the demon hunters who is in a terminal stage. In addition, it generated intrigue among fans by presenting one of the protagonists receiving a mysterious letter during intense training with Gyomei, the rock pillar.
This event caused a radical change in the behavior, attitude and appearance of said character, Zenitsu Agatsuma, who uses lightning breathing. This transformation has generated great uncertainty among fans who have not yet followed the manga, who are seeking to discover what happens to this powerful hunter.
Who is Zenitsu Agatsuma and what is his past?
To understand the content of that enigmatic letter, it is necessary to go back to Zenitsu’s past, who did not always have that courage as a hunter or set goals with determination. Zenitsu Agatsuma, a rookie demon hunter who joined the Hunter Agency at the same time as the protagonist, is notable for his distinctive blonde hair and childish, sometimes fearful attitude. However, everything changes when he sleeps, since he manages to deploy his maximum power: Lightning Breathing, a technique taught by his teacher Jigoro Kuwajima. This mentor not only instructed him in defensive techniques and the mastery of Lightning Breathing, but also took care of his debts and raised him as a son, given that Zenitsu was an orphan. For this reason, Zenitsu greatly appreciates him and pays tribute to him whenever he can.
Zenitsu has always been known for his lack of bravery; However, he always tries to find solutions to problems. In critical situations, he has proven to be loyal to his companions, especially Nezuko, for whom he professes deep affection. In the mysterious letter he received while training with the rock pillar, he was informed that his master had just passed away. He himself decided to end his life because one of his star students, whom Zenitsu also admired, decided to become a demon and obey Muzan who turned him into a crescent moon. For this reason, he considered himself a failure as a teacher, because it was his pride and he had a lot of faith in this disciple to continue teaching lightning breathing.
