The primary time the present introduces him, Murata runs away from the battle solely to get caught by a demon. This facet character is so forgettable he doesn’t get fun-colored hair or perhaps a second identify. He has no particular powers, and his superiors chastise him typically. He’s simply your run-of-the-mill man who occurs to be caught up within the ruckus of a number of main battles.
However none of that issues, as a result of followers of the Demon Slayer anime have unofficially anointed Murata because the collection’ favourite and unofficial strongest character.
Let’s be clear: Murata will not be all that {powerful} on the planet of Demon Slayer. He’s a regular grunt within the Demon Slayer corps and doesn’t apply any particular respiration methods. However that hasn’t hindered his fame.
If something, the concept that he’s the one common dude amongst a great deal of seasoned fighters helps deliver out the inherent irony of the bit.
In a single video, which has greater than 1.9 million views on TikTok, the creator layers textual content over a clip the place Murata falls into the Infinity Fort — an unlimited area and residential to probably the most {powerful} demon, Muzan. The textual content says, “muzan’s worst mistake was placing murata throughout the identical radius as him.” Within the feedback, individuals voice help for the joke and an individual replies, “Muzan solely goes exterior at night time as a result of Murata is sleeping.” It’s been preferred greater than 22,000 instances.
TikTok is full of movies making jokes kind of just like the one above, however the gag has solely snowballed. One other video, which has greater than 3.6 million views, makes a crack about how the whole fandom agrees that Murata is the strongest.
Now, followers are constructing on the unique joke, inventing a faux however super-powerful preventing approach that solely Murata is aware of, known as “galaxy respiration.” The thought has change into so standard that it’s a prompt search time period within the feedback.
This isn’t the primary and sure received’t be the final communal shitposting from the Demon Slayer neighborhood. This is identical fandom that began roasting one another on the dwell showings for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Film: Mugen Prepare, in spite of everything.
Fortunately, this time, everybody has determined to go away actuality out of it by elevating a mean character to a god-tier stage of energy.
