What If Tanjiro And Inosuke Moved Earlier To Save Rengoku?

Kyojuro Rengoku vs Akaza was a battle that took place outside the destroyed Mugen Train. It focuses on the battle between the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku against Upper Rank Three Akaza.

After Tanjiro Kamado and Inosuke Hashibira have successfully defeated Enmu and escaped the out of controlled Demon train with Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira checks on an injured Tanjiro as Inosuke goes to rescue another passenger. He applauds the young Demon Slayer for his recently-acquired ability to use the Total Concentration: Constant, and says that this is the first step to him becoming a Hashira.

Kyojuro then notices that Tanjiro is bleeding from the abdomen and tells him to focus his breathing in order to heal himself, which the young Demon Slayer manages with some guidance from Kyojuro. The Flame Hashira tells Tanjiro that if he can master his breathing, he'll be able to accomplish many more things and become stronger tomorrow than he was yesterday.

Just as Kyojuro starts to tell Tanjiro that he doesn't need to push himself any further because everyone's been saved, something jumps down just behind the two Demon Slayers with a great force, scattering the dust around them.

As the Demon retreats, Tanjiro throws his sword at Akaza, screaming at him not to run away from the fight and calling him a coward. The insult angers Akaza questioning whether Tanjiro has a brain and thinking to himself that he was not running from Tanjiro but the sun and that the battle is already decided given Kyojuro's wound as he completes his escape into the forest's shadows. The young Demon Slayer yells that Kyojuro is better than Akaza will ever be because he fought until the end and didn't let anyone die, and that Kyojuro was the rightful winner of their fight.

Tanjiro lets out a final scream and collapses to his knees, crying, and Inosuke starts to shake. Kyojuro looks over at him and smiles, telling Tanjiro to come over to him so they can have a final chat before he dies.

If you’ve watched the mugen train arc, you might have wondered, what would happen if Tanjiro and Inosuke moved earlier to save Rengoku? Will they be any help to Kyojuro? Before jumping into that, you must think first on their strength level. We already know that Tanjiro and Inosuke were unable to read the movements of Akaza and Kyojuro. So, jumping into them would be a hit or miss. On that moment, Akaza was desperate to move away from Sun, so he might have used his full strength to get away from the Sun. Interfering between them would have cost nothing. The reason is simple, Tanjiro and Inosuke weren’t strong enough to interfere between them. They both started training very hard after the death of Kyojuro. Tanjiro also decided to rely more on hinokami kagura and use water breathing occasionally. So, what’s your thought about this, let us know in the comment section below.
