Zenitsu forgets his birthday alot/doesn& #39;t care about it. He never celebrated it at all when he was growing up, in fact he hated thinking about the day he was born since it makes him think of his parents and being abandoned as a baby-
Zenitsu forgets his birthday alot/doesn& #39;t care about it. He never celebrated it at all when he was growing up, in fact he hated thinking about the day he was born since it makes him think of his parents and being abandoned as a baby-
He wonders why he was even born and if he has a purpose. The first time he ever celebrates his birthday is when he meets gramps. He mentions he was born sometime in September (though the date is foggy for him) and gramps chooses to celebrate his birthday on a random day-
Zenitsu is surprised when he sees gramps cooking his favorite food and giving him a gift (his yellow haori), at first he has no clue whats going on but when gramps tells him & #39;Happy Birthday& #39; it clicks and Zenitsu is touched but also confused cause he doesnt understand what is so-
Special about the day of his birth. Gramps tells him that & #39;Ofcourse today is special, its the day he was brought into the world and it should be celebrated!& #39; Hearing this makes Zenitsu cry for hours and for the first time thinking of his birthday makes him feel happy and not sad-
After leaving gramp& #39;s place and becoming a slayer, Zenitsu doesnt think about his birthday again/forgets it, he thinks that gramps is special and that no one else will care about him that much to celebrate it (plus he doesnt think he& #39;ll live long enough to see the next year)-
He later meets Tanjirou and Inosuke and only mentions his birthday once to his friends after Tanjirou explains what they are to Inosuke. He helps celebrate his friends birthdays but besides that one time never talks about his again. Later when it gets closer to the date, Zenitsu-
Sees his friends acting weird and secretive and he thinks they are playing a prank behind his back. When his birthday hits he& #39;s all on the offensive and grows suspicious when his friends start giving him gifts, Tanjirou (a charm to help ward off nightmares) Nezuko (a pretty-
Flower crown) and Inosuke (some shiny acorns and flowers). When Zenitsu asks what& #39;s going on, Tanjirou tells him they& #39;re celebrating his birthday and once more Zenitsu is shocked to see that someone other than gramps cares that much about him. He only mentioned it once and yet-
They all remembered. Tanjirou later tells him that he& #39;s happy that Zenitsu is alive and that he met him, and Zenitsu& #39;s heart nearly burst with happiness. Now his birthday, a day he used to hate, carries such special memories for him. After, Every time his birthday comes around-
Instead of forgetting it, unconsciously dreading it, he now feels anticipation cause he& #39;s going to be celebrating it with people who care about him and love him. He& #39;s no longer alone but instead surrounded by people who are genuinely happy he exists.
