Demon Slayerhas only one arc left before the anime wraps up the story. The manga ended in 2020, and the anime will end with a trilogy of movies. Currently, Tanjiro Kamado and the rest of the protagonists have entered the Infinity Castle and will soon face the strongest group of demons. Even though Tanjiro is a human, he can smell things better than others.
It is his greatest asset, and he often uses it to find demons, especially Muzan, after getting accustomed to his scent. However, his greatest asset turned out to be a curse for him even before he joined the Demon Slayer Corp. He had to bear the curse for the rest of his life, and he could do nothing about it even when his father, Tanjuro Kamado, was terminally ill.
Tanjiro’s Smelling Ability Hurt Him The Most
Tanjiro Kamado was an ordinary person living in the mountains along with his family. After Kibutsuji Muzan killed his family and turned his sister, Nezuko, into a demon, Tomioka Giyu encouraged him to join the Demon Slayer Corps. However, it was later revealed that Tanjiro had an amazing smelling prowess and could identify specific smells from miles away. He could even smell dead bodies and people who were ill.

It was due to this ability that he instantly recognizedKibutsuji Muzanafter he smelt his scent in Asakusa, Tokyo. The ability was quite handy, but it was also a curse for him. The smelling ability did not pop up suddenly. It was there with him since the beginning, even when Tanjuro was alive. Since he could smell people who were terminally ill, he always knew his father was going to die. He was young and could do nothing about it.
Every moment Tanjiro spent with his father was like a horror movie to him. He knew the outcome, and his blessed ability always reminded him of it. Even though it was his greatest asset, it became a curse due to its application. The disease was slowly eating his father from the inside, butTanjiroalways hid his pain behind a smile. He did not let others get an idea of what he was going through. Being the eldest brother, he groomed himself to take care of his family after his father’s demise.
