While the transformation of Tanjiro’s sister was something that readers of the manga anticipated, it is undeniable that it took fans outside of the source material by surprise. Therefore, it is not surprising that, after the episode was broadcast, some users turned to social networks to lash out at the new aspect of the female character.
Users criticize Demon Slayer for allegedly inappropriate content
Specifically, the vast majority of complaints lie in the fact that, in anime lore, Nezuko Kamado is 14 years old. Many users explained on Twitter that they do not consider it prudent for a minor to wear a suit that leaves parts of her body exposed. Likewise, they attacked the people who defend the new aspect of the demon.
“I still can’t believe that some people are sexualizing Nezuko. You are sick and they disgust me. Even if it is a drawing that does not change that it is a minor, “said a user on Twitter.
