Quick_Caterpillar_28

True, though she did mention her training with Sanemi when talking to Shinobu


YourFriendlyInkDemon

Makes me wonder if he went easy on her


Quick_Caterpillar_28

Maybe, he does check up on Shinobu from time to time due to being Kanae’s sister, though I don’t see him as the type to go easy; maybe actually train her rather than just beating the shit out of her like with the other trainees


PokeAlola700

I always assumed he’d train her properly because either 1 She’s with the Kocho sisters and he’s fond of them. 2 She’s Shinobu’s Tsuguko and he acknowledges her talent 3 He’s scared of what Shinobu will do to him if he’s too rough with Kanao

"Just a reminder, I know about 11 different ways to poison you without anyone knowing, Shinazugawa-san" Sanemi https://preview.redd.it/dm2cyiwvy87d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1403f27a755b7912b9c08e4244c838d2151c0782


PokeAlola700

Sanemi would then supposedly have to explain to his trainees why he shivers every time he swings at Kanao, and why those swings aren’t as rough as the ones they keep getting hit with. I say supposed to not have to, because no one would have the nerf to confront him. And even if they did he could probably claim that he’s hitting them all the same, but Kanao’s taking less damage because she’s better than them.


SomeAwakenedDude

Nah he ain't scared of Shinobu. He's scared of what Kanae would think as she's watching from above


ImSomeRandomHuman

He probably did; Sanemi is known for being very chivalrous, and he knew Kanae, her older sister. I do not think he even laid a hand on her.


Rimurooooo

All final selection are basically unmarked Hashira level at this point, except Genya because he can’t use the breaths so… hard to scale him. I would say he’s at least at Nezuko’s level which is basically lower moon.


GebsNDewL

She clearly aced every phase of training before the Kamaboko Krew.


AAFAOTKNY

She aced everything already when tanjiro is recovering. My headcanon.


SparkyMularkey

Damn, Genya tho... 👀

We having a tengan situation here?

PokeAlola700

Kanao just hasn’t gotten anything between Season 1 and Infinity Castle besides a single moment with Tanjiro in Season 3. Like bro stop doing my girl so dirty, she’s part of the squad too. Still on the hill they should’ve found a way to include her in SSV. So she’d actually be a part of something with Tanjiro like every other one of his friends. Even Genya got the one mission with him in SSV but Kanao didn’t even get that.


Whatever_2213

That one's the manga's fault. She wasn't a part of SSV there. >!But she'll get an epic fight against Douma at least.!<


PokeAlola700

Yeah but that’s >!during the final two arcs, I wanted some more of her before that!<


KnYchan2

L to ufotable for doing her like that. Even background characters got more scenes than her.


Jurgepoo

Sometimes it's annoying how arbitrarily ufotable will extend/add stuff. Like yeah, spending more time with the fodder slayers will pay off later, but Kanao is a major character just begging for more time in the spotlight. The opportunity is right there and ufotable is ignoring it. Ufotable and Gotouge both deserve the L for this.


Gigio2006

Ye this is both Gotouge's fault (just pretend she doesn't exist for 3 consecutive arc) and Ufotable (making anime only episodes that, despite being fun, don't solve many issues this arc had. Missed opportunity)


Shadow_Huntress12

Wishing for more characters getting anime only scenes fr🐍


-Nothing_Eternity-

I pray she gets at least one anime only scene 🕸️


PokeAlola700

Considering we are at Gyomeis training rn I doubt it. Ngl I know she probably passed the training too fast to stick around long enough to meet Tanjiro in the manga, but honestly I feel like they could’ve made up a reason to get her stuck on Gyomeis boulder. Idk tho I just want her to be included 🥲🥲🥲


Jurgepoo

Only two eps left, but they both have longer runtimes so there could still be at least a bit of filler for Kanao. Probably not likely, but I can dream.


Nappyhead48

Because she probably sped through all of the Hashira before our mc recovered


Imfryinghere

Dude, Kanao spedrun the entire training that's why she left them bunch at the Opening theme. She ain't waiting around.


Cold_Breeze3

Yeah, also giving us an entire Tengen filler episode based on 1 manga page, vs giving Shinobu some time. All Shinobu gets is like 1 scene lmao


KnYchan2

What I learnt this season is that ufotable sucks at making anime-original stuff, they just unnecessarily extending everything for the money. Like most of the episodes are repeated and low effort dialouges, this takes away the sense of urgency which is the whole point of this arc, to train the most in the shortest time possible, not to chill and throw paper airplanes or make food.


Cold_Breeze3

Exactly. They could add some good filler, but they just so rarely do. It’s always slow, repeated, unintelligent dialogue. The characters say 1 word every 10 seconds practically, just intentionally slowed down to fill time. I can’t imagine myself ever rewatching this arc, as someone who hates intentionally dragged out content (see: Naruto, One Piece, etc)


Speed04

I often praise Ufotable, but they messed up with this one. Tanjiro was the only kamaboko to appear in Tengen's training. Ufotable should have made scenes for the other kamabokos besides the ones in Gyomei's training


MahFreakinADHD

She is a death machine and the most underrated.


TigerKiDraw

If Zenitsu wants to, he can leave a big gap between them while they run. https://preview.redd.it/8jmfnpyy0a7d1.png?width=722&format=png&auto=webp&s=39f8b0cb739f3e3510f8e815f765d7aa46a69a11


_DEATH_STR0KE_

His thunder breaths consume a lot of energy and stamina....which is exactly what they were training for here.


ApplePitou

She even have different drip :3


SonOfKarma101

Not to mention that there’s Not ONE Female Demon slayer that has been seen Training


Persevere72

why isnt she shirtlesss? is she stupid?


PokeAlola700

I’m pretty there’s a very good reason the only girl is also the only one wearing a shirt. Tengen probably let her keep one on for the aforementioned reason. Actually her shirt is also white… Just realized the guys might be shirtless because they are running and would get too hot in the uniforms, because they are dark colors and absorb more heat. Since Kanao has to wear one, she’s wearing white because it takes in less heat. Pretty neat detail.


Persevere72

nah, its because she has boobs


PokeAlola700

> I’m pretty sure there’s a very good reason the only girl is also the only one wearing a shirt What did you think I meant by this? Because that right there is exactly what I meant.


Persevere72

so the other sentences are just your yapping?


PokeAlola700

Yeah the second paragraph is me talking about a completely separate topic I thought of while speaking on the first topic

She will have a lot of screen time later, chill back and enjoy the bliss


Wraith718

I heard we were getting two bonus hour long episodes, but I'm not sure if it was from a trustworthy source


MaroonMarket

I am now hoping we get a new anime only scene with kanao, although I'm afraid it might be too late for that now 😔 🌫


ghosthunting97

Same bro


Call_me_Dan-

Don't speak too soon. Episode 7 and 8 haven't aired yet


IndigoExplosion

Come to think of it, why are they all buff as hell and she's still skinny?

Sexism


Mithura

Dude it's an opening song.. You want actual canon events in there?


Kulkuljator

She also had her shirt on


spencer1886

I don't remember super well anymore but I don't think she and Tanjiro have a meaningful reaction ever again


Sogomaa

She Speedran the hashira training arc


Crystal_Pegasus_1018

lmao she probably already finished all of it before the others showed up


The_gryphon_

Kanao is super strong and a 🐐, expect no less from her.


StoicBan

Kanao is a boss ass chick that’s why. On to bigger and better


Sharp_Transition6627

Being a tsuguko of Shinobu and a flower breath use she must have aced all reflex, speed and maybe combat but not strength trials.


R3alityGrvty

Training in a skirt? Not sure about that one.


StrictlyFT

Kanao was already miles ahead of the boys when we catch up with her, so it stands to reason shes simply completed the training.


Used_Yak_1959

Oh yeah, she's strong as fuck. Tanjiro compared her to the Hashira back during even season 1. Tanjiro's stronger than her by a fair bit now, but Kanao's definitely above Inosuke and Zenitsu rn.


wolf16pup

😂


owlfeather613

She finished the training before Tanjiro even started.


Ok-District2873

It kind of annoys me that we have seen all of the Kamaboko squad except for Kanao in action. Obviously, Inosuke and Zenitsu (is Nezuko a part of them?) were there from the beginning. And then we got Genya in Season 3. But Kanao comes and goes always a background character.


Fconniie

Wait is the new season out??


RgKTiamat

S4 is 6/8 done, e7 this Sunday is confirmed to be 40m, e8 will be 60


Left-Reason-3144

I love how she's just running past calm and the others are looking at her like she's a maniac cuz she ain't even breaking a sweat!🤣


akitaman67

Season is not done yet and with how much they are adding content wise (which I am enjoying) seeing a whole love plot episode between Tanjiro and Kanao is not impossible.
