Mitsuri Kanroji (甘露寺 蜜璃) is a major protagonist in the action dark fantasy 2016-2020 manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and its 2019 anime adaptation.
She served as one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Muichiro Tokito) of the Swordsmith Village Arc and its third season adaptation, as well as the deuteragonist of the spin-off series, Kyojuro Rengoku: Gaiden.
She is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and one of the nine Hashira, serving as the Love Hashira. Her mentor was formerly the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. Unlike most members of the corps, whose lives were destroyed by Demons and joined in order to seek vengeance, Mitsuri joined the corps in hopes of finding a strong man that would accept and marry her, since the corps comprise many strong men. Despite this, she serves the corps with great loyalty and does her very hardest on eradicating the demon race.
She was voiced by Kana Hanazawa in the Japanese version and Kira Buckland in the English dub.
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
In General/Background[]
- She's an incredibly kind and cheerful person, who always talks highly about others and admires their strengths and personalities.
- Unlike most of the Hashira, she also doesn't hold much hatred towards demons. This is more notable when the demons in the afterlife hold no grudge against her and simply praise her for her kindness.
- She first joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find a strong man for her to happily marry. However, once she realized her strength in general and her insecurities of her past rejections, she felt regret upon joining the slayers for such a silly reason, but afterwards, with help from Shinobu and Obanai, she accepts who she is and later realized how in love she was with Obanai.
- She aided Rengoku in protecting the humans from the Lower Two Kizuki Demon, Hairo by stopping the bombs Hairo placed around the town and killing the demons that were attacking the humans.
- Despite being clumsy and comical at times, she is very determined and wanted to make herself useful for others in both battles and her duties as a Demon Slayer. It also helps that her comical nature tends to lighten the tone of the series.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba[]
- She was the only Hashira to oppose beheading Tanjiro, sympathizing with his situation with Nezuko and the second (after Giyu) Hashira to quickly accept Tanjiro and Nezuko, despite her being a demon, believed Tanjiro's story and immediately agreed with Kagaya's order not to harm them.
- Indirectly gave Tanjiro the idea that the secret weapon within the Swordsmit Village, the Yoriichi Type Zero, would help raise Tanjiro's strength and potential.
- Despite being late and not being on time, she was still able to protect one of the swordsmiths in the village from Gyokko's mutant demons.
- Saved Tecchin, the chief of the Swordsmith Village, from a bigger fish demon of Gyokko's and helped up all the guards who were injured.
- Saved Tanjiro from near death when Zohakuten was about to finish him.
- Fights off Zohakuten while protecting Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya from harm but also gave them time to find Hantengu and eradicate him for good.
- Tries to stop Giyu and Sanemi from fighting before Gyomei did.
- She trained Tanjiro and the rest of her batch trainees into doing flexibility. Despite Tanjiro it describing as "hell", it was a necessary factor to the Hashira training and she was just doing her job as a mentor, alongside nothing harmful despite of this.
- She and Obanai fought Nakime to stop her from controlling the fortress until Yushiro arrived. Despite being scared of him at first, she entrusted him to stop Nakime by using a technique.
- She, alongside Giyu, Obanai, Gyomei, Sanemi and the rest of their allies, fought hard to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji and put an end to his reign once and for all until daylight came by.
- During the fight, she was critically injured and wounded heavily but nevertheless wanted to continue making use of herself as she joined in the battlefield one last time by ripping off one of Muzan's arms, alongside Sanemi, as it gave Tanjiro the advantage to aim his blade at Muzan's neck until the sun rises.
- Before her death, she thought she had been holding everyone back, but Obanai assured her that she did well and saved a lot of people's hearts, including his own; due to his tragic state, she saved him from being alone and helped him love her back without even knowing.
- She was one of the people in the afterlife alongside the other deceased Hashira to save Tanjiro from Muzan's corruption of him while his body was being cured by Kanao, ending Muzan's legacy and terror for good before being reincarnated for their heroic deeds.
Trivia[]
- She is one of the three Hashira (alongside Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyomei Himejima) in the series to be Pure Good with her being the only female Hashira to be Pure Good.
