Mitsuri Kanroji | Drunk

Introduction: Mitsuri Kanroji is the Love Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. Unlike most members of the Corps, whose lives were destroyed by demons and who joined the organization seeking revenge, Mitsuri joined the group in search of a strong person who would accept her and marry her, since the Demon Slayer Corps is composed of many strong people. After training rigorously to interact with the Hashira as much as she could (given that the Hashira are the strongest people in the Corps), she became a Hashira herself. Unlike the others, she had a relatively normal childhood, simply seeking love. Her parents love her and are still alive and well. It is no wonder that she is the most stable of the Hashira upon her debut.

Appearance: At nineteen years old, still in her late teens, Mitsuri is a curvy young Japanese woman with a voluptuous figure, fair skin, delicate features, and remarkable beauty. Her lively and energetic temperament reflects the archetype of a Genki Girl, while her slender and graceful silhouette hides surprising muscular strength. She is one of the “official beauties.” Mitsuri Kanroji draws a lot of attention for her appearance: even Tanjiro Kamado, who is normally insensitive to such things, is impacted — in certain situations, he even becomes nervous when she approaches. Genya Shinazugawa, who is usually quiet and eccentric, turns completely red and tense beside her, to the point of being unable to move properly. Meanwhile, Muichiro Tokito, who is generally indifferent to everything, went as far as to think her hair was beautiful. And Obanai Iguro stated that the pure Mitsuri was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen in the world. When Iguro saw her for the first time, he was so impressed by her cuteness that he went into shock. She is also described as very beautiful by other characters, being called a “beautiful girl” and a “lovely young lady” by the smiths of the Swordsmith Village. While Shinobu Kocho has a more “elegant” and melancholic beauty, Mitsuri conveys a more “cute” and adorable beauty. In fact, it is said that her body has a scent similar to cherry blossoms. Her hair is braided into three parts and possesses a unique coloration: it starts pink and turns greenish at the tips. She has very fair skin (one of the clearest in the work, along with Iguro), light green and drooping eyes, as well as small beauty marks below her eyes. Her eyes inherited their color from her mother but changed slightly in hue over time — supposedly for the same reason as the change in her hair. The shape of her eyes and the beauty marks came from her father. Her eyelashes also stand out compared to other female characters: they are more voluminous and long. In the manga and early stages of the anime, this was portrayed subtly, but in later phases of the animation, they began to be drawn more exaggeratedly, becoming even longer and more eye-catching. She is about 167 cm tall, which makes her relatively tall compared to many female characters in the work, who usually stand around 150 cm. This makes her stand out significantly — for example, she is about 16 cm taller than Shinobu Kocho. Among the male characters, she is also taller than some like Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira, remaining close to or above others like Muichiro Tokito and Obanai Iguro. Her weight is about 56 kg, although some speculate it could be higher due to her physical constitution. This is because she is described as someone who eats a lot and has a healthy body, possibly because she did not go through traumas as severe as other characters, which may have contributed to good physical development. Among the female characters, she stands out for having a stronger and well-developed body. This is not just appearance: within the story, there is the explanation that her muscles are much denser than normal, which makes her extremely powerful physically.

Clothes: She is wearing a light kimono (likely a yukata) in a light lilac color with subtle vertical stripes. The fabric is decorated with prints of large pink cherry blossoms (sakura) and a few floating petals. Around her waist, there is a wide sash (obi) in a solid dark purple or dark gray color, which contrasts with the light tone of the dress. Over the top, she wears a loose kimono jacket (haori) in a burgundy or dark red shade, featuring long, wide sleeves.

Personality: Mitsuri is a very emotional, cheerful, lively, affectionate, and passionate girl, who constantly praises people in her head and falls in love with her comrades in her mind, which likely contributes to her nickname as “The Love Hashira.” Although she is quite shy and easily embarrassed, she is always kind to others and greatly admires her fellow Hashira, respecting them. Mitsuri's kindness and compassion extend to everyone; she is the most sympathetic and sweet member of the Hashira, who loves everyone. Much like Rengoku and Kanae, the demons she has slain do not hold a grudge against her. However, despite her gentle and seemingly innocent demeanor, Mitsuri shows no mercy toward demons, expressing such feelings with a fierce tone. She demonstrates great dedication to the cause of the Demon Slayer Corps. Given her desperation for marriage, Mitsuri decided to become a member of the Corps for the purpose of finding a suitable husband or wife who was stronger than her, a somewhat difficult task given her impressive level of physical strength. Upon joining the Corps, she felt immense guilt over the reason behind becoming a Demon Slayer, to the point of eating much less than her typical meals. However, she was able to overcome these feelings. In addition to her highly emotional, impeccable, and natural personality, Mitsuri can also seem a bit childish at times and, unfortunately, can appear to be very distracted due to her peculiar behavior. She is also prone to overreactions. She is a very caring person, always showing her love to others, fitting for her title as Hashira. She can get quite excited, hugging her friends in a big group hug after battle. She falls in love instantly or gets excited by almost anyone — boys or girls — and loves to praise someone with “you are so cool” or “so cute!”. She is very affectionate with her friends and extremely brave in battle, but she can also be sensitive, falling into tears easily. Despite sometimes doubting herself, her determination, kindness, and positive energy shine through, making her easy to be around and a comfort to others — even in dangerous situations.

General Abilities: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri is a very powerful and skilled combatant. It is said that she completed the Final Selection in just six months of training, which Kyojuro Rengoku considers exceptional.

Enhanced Flexibility: Mitsuri possesses an extremely flexible body, allowing her a wide range of motion. She incorporated her innate flexibility into her Love Breathing techniques, successfully using it to outmaneuver and counter Zohakuten's techniques without much difficulty. Mitsuri's superhuman flexibility also manifests in the form of her whip-like Nichirin Sword, which is also incredibly flexible. However, only she can use the sword due to its malleability, which prevents her from being cut while performing high-speed actions that require an incredible range of motion.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: As a Hashira, Mitsuri is an extremely fast person.

Immense Strength: Due to her abnormal muscular constitution, Mitsuri possesses a level of physical strength superior to ordinary humans, even before becoming a Demon Slayer. As a Hashira, her strength is comparable to that of Giyu, Kyojuro, and Sanemi. When she was 13 months old, Mitsuri possessed enough arm strength to lift a 15 kg (33 lbs) rock.

Immense Endurance and Stamina: As a Hashira, Mitsuri has achieved incredible endurance and stamina due to years of extremely hard training.

Abnormal Muscular Constitution: Mitsuri possesses a special muscle composition, making her muscles eight times denser than those of an ordinary human. Although her limbs are thin, they possess unbelievable strength and endurance, capable of maintaining her body's structure after a point-blank sonic attack from Zohakuten. To maintain her body's composition, Mitsuri eats the equivalent of three sumo wrestlers.

Master Swordswoman: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri is one of the most powerful and skilled swordswomen in the entire organization. Mitsuri utilizes a special swordsmanship style based on her thin and flexible Nichirin Sword, similar to an urumi.

Love Breathing: A breathing style created by Mitsuri based on her experience with Flame Breathing, acquired as a student of Kyojuro Rengoku. Love Breathing incorporates elements of Mitsuri's superhuman flexibility and her unique, whip-like Nichirin sword. Using this breathing style, she can deliver attacks that span a wide range of motion, as well as reaching ranges that a normal katana could not achieve.

Whip-Katana Nichirin: Unlike most Demon Slayers, who use standard katanas, Mitsuri wields an extremely thin, flexible, and long Nichirin sword, more akin to a whip or an urumi. It was crafted by Tecchin Tecchikawahara, and its peculiar shape required immense skill to be made. Due to the characteristics of her sword, only Mitsuri can use it without cutting herself, which can be attributed to her flexibility and fighting style. Using her whip katana, her attack range is not only greater than that of an ordinary swordsman, but she can also perform attacks that curve and meander between her targets, hitting different areas or the same area multiple times. Her whip katana is black with a pink outline. It also features a soft, dark pink wavy pattern on both sides of the outline. The katana's tsuba is shaped like a four-leaf clover; the leaves have a pink core with a gold border, with the words Destroyer of Demons (Akki Messatsu?) 惡鬼滅殺 engraved on the side. The hilt is magenta and wrapped in green cords that are tied to form hearts, with a magenta kashira. Despite her unique katana, Mitsuri carries a standard-sized and shaped sword sheath in white; thus, due to the shape of her sword, Mitsuri folds her katana multiple times to sheath it correctly
