Tanjiro Is More Hardworking And Persevering Than Any Other Character

Always pushing himself to his absolute physical and mental limits, Tanjiro is not one to give up

In many different state of affairs , Tanjiro has proven his refusal to give up , even in the worst of circumstance . He lost almost his intact kin , has watched wanted mentor and Friend , such as former Flame Hashira , Kyojuro Rengoku , die in front of him , and has facedphysical and mental trial that have caused him excruciating pain . But although his life story has been rife with suffering and struggles , he always keeps become , create him truly inspirational .
