Mothers are the most important characters in our lives. They take care of us from childhood, they teach us to live and to love. In our eyes, they are like superheroes. However, you will not be able to face katana demons like the protagonists of Demon Hunter.
In a survey by the education company Benesse the question was asked: “Who do you respect the most and why?” to over 7500 Japanese students from Age between 8 and 12 years. Who will have won first place in a year upset by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020? Doctors and nurses who have treated millions of people? Famous athletes? These would be the typical answers we would have gotten in our country, but you know Japan is a pretty bizarre nation.
Between ten most respected personalities of 2020, seven positions in the overall standings are occupied by the protagonists of the demon slayer. Apparently, the resounding success of Koyoharu Gototoe’s opera literally struck Japanese students.
From the tenth to the sixth position we find only the characters of the franchise, including Rengoku, protagonist of the box-office-breaking film. In the fifth position we find the figure of the father who is even less respected than the teachers who are in the fourth position.
On the lowest step of the podium we find Kocho. According to the survey, children would respect him because he is “family-oriented, always smiling and friendly”. So to An anime can bring meaningful lessons.
In the second position we find incredibly the mothers who were beaten by the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado. According to reports, children like Tanjiro because he is kind to everyone, is devoted to family and It never gives up. The motivation that impressed the readers of the survey the most was: “Every time I think of Tanjiro, I want to do my best too.”
The poll has created more than some confusion on Japanese social media, but it can’t help but think about how much the animated series are getting bigger and bigger a basic means of communicationespecially for the little ones. Who would you have respected most at that age? The school backpacks from Demon Slayer have now arrived. Let’s relive the fight between Tanjiro and Rui in this € 400 demon slayer statue.
