Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃, Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Tanjiro Kamado is the eldest son of a family of charcoal sellers, whose life is turned upside down when Muzan Kibutsuji kills his family, leaving only his sister Nezuko alive, though transformed into a demon. Driven by the desire to cure Nezuko and return her to humanity, Tanjiro becomes a Demon Slayer. Under the tutelage of Sakonji Urokodaki, he masters the "Water Breathing" technique and later incorporates his family's "Hinokami Kagura," linked to the original "Sun Breathing" style, forming a unique and efficient fighting method. Tanjiro is renowned for his pure heart, unwavering kindness, and deep empathy towards others, including demons, though he remains resolute in acknowledging their crimes. His sharp sense of smell is a valuable asset, allowing him to detect demons, anticipate attacks, and sense true emotions. Notably, his thick skull makes his headbutts a formidable weapon in combat. Tanjiro wields a distinctive black sword that can turn crimson red, an ability that hampers demons' regenerative powers. Despite suffering severe injuries, including the loss of his left arm and right eye in his final battle against Muzan, these are restored when Muzan attempts to transform him into his successor. With the support of his friends, Tanjiro successfully regains his humanity, embodying resilience, determination, and compassion throughout his journey.

Shinobu Kocho, known as the Insect Hashira in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," carries the motif of a butterfly, reflecting her surname. She is recognized for her calm and optimistic demeanor, often seen teasing her fellow Hashira, Giyu. Despite her cheerful exterior, Shinobu harbors a profound animosity towards demons, driven by the tragic loss of her parents and older sister. Due to her petite stature, she innovatively combats demons using a slender Nichirin sword, designed to inject a wisteria-based poison she formulated, instead of traditional beheading. Her expertise in poison allows her to collaborate with Tamayo in developing a cure for Nezuko and creating a concoction to weaken Muzan Kibutsuji. In a selfless act of sacrifice, Shinobu ensures her victory over Doma by preemptively ingesting large quantities of wisteria poison, which ultimately weakens him enough for Kanao and Inosuke to deliver the final blow. In the modern Reiwa Era, Shinobu and her sister Kanae are reincarnated as high school students, continuing their bond in a new life. Shinobu's character embodies resilience, innovation, and a deep-seated commitment to her cause, making her a memorable and beloved figure in the series.

Giorno Giovanna, the protagonist of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind," is a unique character born as Haruno Shiobana. As the illegitimate son of Dio Brando, who had fused with Jonathan Joestar’s body, Giorno inherits traits from both men, making him a Joestar by lineage, complete with the iconic Joestar birthmark. Giorno’s personality is a blend of Jonathan’s moral compass and Dio’s ruthless determination, which makes him a compelling figure. His dream is to become a “Gang-Star” in the Passione mob family, a goal inspired by a childhood incident where he saved a wounded mafia member who then protected him. Giorno aims to overthrow Passione's current boss, eradicate the drug trade, and transform the gang into a force for good, akin to a modern-day Robin Hood.

Giorno wields the Stand Gold Experience, capable of infusing life into inanimate objects and creating living organisms. As his abilities evolve, his Stand becomes Gold Experience Requiem, which amplifies its life-giving powers and introduces the ability to revert any process to zero, effectively nullifying any action or event, including death. This makes Giorno an extraordinarily powerful and strategic character, blending kindness and brutality in his quest for justice and reform in Italy’s underworld.
