Giyuu Tomioka

Giyu always wears a serious expression on his face. He has a reserved personality and a strong sense of justice, with no tolerance for those who don't know their own limitations and throw their lives away. Despite letting Nezuko Kamado live due to Tanjiro Kamado's persistence, he shows zero hesitation when killing other demons and has no respect for them like most Demon Slayers. Even so, Giyu violated the Demon Hunter's code of conduct when he protected Nezuko during Shinobu's attempt to kill her. This implies that he doesn't completely despise Demons like other Pillars do, and is willing to make an exception for one Demon, letting them live if they don't kill and eat humans. This shows that he is more pragmatic in dealing with demons rather than out of hatred for demons like other Pillars do.

Giyu seems to have a complex about what others think of him and is shocked when Shinobu Kocho claims that he is hated by many.

He is a man of few words and has trouble interacting with others, so he usually keeps his distance.

It is later revealed that Giyu suffers from an inferiority complex that he has developed since his participation in the Final Selection. It grows severe to the point where he considers abandoning his position as the Pillar of Water until Tanjiro helps him realize that instead of acting on his survivor's guilt, he should value his life and live for the people who sacrificed their lives. lives for him.

Despite his aloof and stoic nature, Giyu is shown to be protective and considerate of those he is close with and considers his friends. This is first shown when he puts his life on the line for Tanjiro and Nezuko, promising to commit seppuku if the latter eats a human. Giyu has been shown to lose his usual composure and stoic demeanor when those he cares about are in danger, as seen when he becomes greatly angered by Akaza's attempt to kill Tanjiro and visibly shocked upon hearing the news of Shinobu's death. This is further demonstrated by the fact that he still wears half of Sabito, his late best friend, and his older sister's haori as their keepsake. However, Giyu seems to be particular in whom he shows emotions, as he doesn't seem to react when informed of the deaths of Genya Shinazugawa, Muichiro Tokito, and Kyojuro Rengoku.
