Memorable Quotes
心を燃やせ (Kokoro wo moyase)
— Kyojuro Rengoku
Context:
Spoken in his final moments after being fatally wounded by Akaza. Rengoku uses his last words to inspire Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu to not let his death dishearten them, but to use it as motivation to continue fighting and growing stronger.
Meaning:
"Set your heart ablaze." This is Rengoku's final, iconic command to Tanjiro. It's a powerful and poetic encapsulation of the film's central theme: to persevere with fiery passion and unwavering will, even in the face of weakness, despair, and devastating loss. It's a transfer of fighting spirit from a dying mentor to his student.
老いることも死ぬことも、人間という儚い生き物の美しさだ (Oiru koto mo shinu koto mo, ningen to iu hakanai ikimono no utsukushisa da)
— Kyojuro Rengoku
Context:
Said during his intense battle with the Upper Rank demon Akaza. Akaza, impressed by Rengoku's strength, offers him the chance to become a demon and transcend human limitations. Rengoku flatly rejects the offer with this profound statement on the nature of humanity.
Meaning:
"Growing old and dying are part of the beauty of being an ephemeral creature like a human." This line is a direct rebuttal to the demonic ideal of immortality and perfection. It argues that the finite nature of human life is precisely what gives it value, nobility, and meaning—a core philosophical statement of the film.
逃げるな卑怯者！(Nigeru na hikyōmono!)
— Tanjiro Kamado
Context:
Tanjiro screams this at Akaza as the demon retreats into the forest to escape the rising sun, leaving the mortally wounded Rengoku behind. Despite being severely injured himself, Tanjiro throws his sword in a futile but emotionally powerful act of defiance.
Meaning:
"Don't run away, you coward!" This quote is an explosion of pure, desperate rage and grief from Tanjiro. It redefines victory and defeat not by who survives, but by who upholds their principles. He declares that Akaza, who can only fight in the dark and flees the sun, is the true loser, while Rengoku, who fought to the end and protected everyone, is the true victor.
