u know what? fuck it, here is a thread of zenitsu being the wholesome, sweet baby he is just bc ufotable keeps unnecessarily making him out to be a perv in the anime content </3 haha @/ufotable pls, he actually has depth u know, maybe just maybe ud like to touch on that,,?
here he is talking to nezuko even though he knows shes asleep!!! hes telling her about his day and hes even growing to be proud of himself which we all know is a struggle for him,, he even remembers how tanjiro helps him and talks to her abt him, and wants to show her flowers,,
this was around the time tanjiro wasnt feeling so good and he was really down!!! he just wanted to make him feel better :(( but yes, theres another scene in the omake where he steals more buns SHKHKH
another soft moment with nezuko!!honestly he just cares sm for her and he wants her to be happy :( its established later on in a scene w/shinobu that nezuko does like the goldfish and looks at them!!!

okay, so,, just think abt this moment,, hes bleeding and he thinks hes going to die, and he wants is last words to be for nezuko. he wants her to know that he fought till the end because he loved her, and he just wanted him to remember her,,
here he is giving nezuko flowers!!! these are all flowers with really nice meanings, so that means he took the time to choose these specifically for her. and the thing is, nezuko remembers him this way—not as someone who cries and is weak but as a sweet person smiling at her.
okay, just think about what exactly his relationship is with kaigaku,, this is a guy who puts him down every chance he has and was pretty much the reason jigoro is dead,, yet still he has the heart to apologize and look up to him as an older brother figure, despite everything.
again!! despite how kaigaku treats him like hes nothing he still respects him and looks up to him. he still takes into consideration how he feels. he even gives kaigaku food despite him looking annoyed bc thats just how he is.
despite grieving here and blaming himself, he doesnt let it change how he treats tanjiro. he treats him like he always has, as a friend and kindly—even if his heart and mind are in chaos he still manages to be,, nice to the people he loves.
and look!!! hes helping tanjiro understand thunder breathing!!! we all know that hes really insecure abt his abilities and himself as a whole, but he still takes the time to talk to his friend about how it works,, and it ends up helping tanjiro later on :”)
okay, honestly this is one of my favorite moments—hes going up against a demon who has no respect for people, he knows how powerful she is. yet his first thought is to defend the girl shes hurt n tell her this. he doesnt care what her status is, just that being kind is important
this is so important, honestly, not to mention g r o w t h from how he was a few chapters back—hes acknowledging that his emotions are valid, and hes acknowledging that he cant always keep giving up. and hes not only telling us this, but its directed to the trio in a way, too,,
LOOK !!! LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS !!!! all his life hes never even been held gently until he met tanjiro, and hes already so happy and giddy just from being able to carry nezuko like this and keep her safe,,
this is it. this is his happy dream, to take the girl he loves to peach trees and make her a wreath of white clovers,, he doesnt think of anything remotely inappropriate, just making her happy and keeping her safe. he even goes to ask her if shes okay with the river thing.
and now!!! he and tanjiro are encouraging inosuke!!! inosuke, whos gotten off on the wrong foot with zenitsu, but he still does his best to cheer him up and make him feel better D: he knows the feeling of self-loathing all too well and does what he can to help his friend,,
even in his panic-driven state, he somehow,, registers that he needs to protect shoichi even if he thinks he isnt strong or brave enough :(( he even goes as far as to tell him to just leave him,,, he was literally going to give up his life for shoichi ;;^;;
THIS !!!!! WHOLE !!!!!!! SCENE !!!!!!!!! yes he accepted the onigiri BUT he also asked tanjiro out of concern if he was eating with him,,, and when he learned it was his only food he split it to share with him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen"> https://twitter.com/gojoism/status/1296932632203268101">https://twitter.com/gojoism/s...
