I love both shows and Tanjiro wouldn't hesitate killing a demon even if he can sympathize with them. This is bait isn't it?

>>280740130 (OP)
of all the mcs you could have chosen you chose one that kills demons because even with their sob stories he still recognises that demons kill by killing humans and thus must be destroyed

>>280740130 (OP)
completely different demons. demon slayer demons are more like vampires than demons in terms of their human connection and history. demons in frieren are an evolved race of deceptive man-eaters.

>>280740221
>that demons kill by killing humans
live*

>>280740236
the one interesting thing in frieren's world is that demons seem to be the ones who had magic first, and the ones who do use magic tend to singlemindedly focus on improving one kind of specific magic. elves likely learned it from demons, and humans clearly learned it from elves and also from deconstructing demon spells.

>>280740130 (OP)
Tanjiro never said this, stop projecting decuck

>>280740130 (OP)
But Tangerine does kill the demons.
He feels bad about doing it because they used to be human, but he still does it.

Cause his sister is one. Stop being obtuse. Do you have sisters?

>>280740541
hmm I wonder which one is the more nuanced, mature show that understands that nothing is purely black and white.
?

>>280740186
That is false

Divine forgiveness is reserved exclusively for humans. This is because Angels have no moment of weakness - their decisions are made with absolute certainty and they are absolutely aware of its consequences.
Every information is given to them and therefore they are incapable of regret

Same reason applies as to why "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven"

If you know the Truth, but decided to reject it, the question would be "why"
The answer justifies your damnation. For eternity

>>280740558
Just because his sister is a demon doesn't mean he also doesn't understand that these people used to be human. They're not exclusive things.

>>280740574
The fact demon possession was an unbeatable curse until Jesus showed the way is enough in itself to prove his glory. Yet, we still have lost sheep yelling on mountains tops otherwise. Don't give your pearls to swine anon.

>>280740561
Ironically, despite the black&white, Frieren is actually the more nuanced one by the fact that the demons hold no malice and ill intent

As such, much of their existence leads to them questioning what is the thing that humans call "morals"

It is going to be the next arc. And I guarantee you, /pol/ is going to meme it to high heaven

Kimetsu demons are modern vampires who eat all of humans not just drink the blood. Frieren demons are traditional isekai demons, which are, basically, JRPG demons, ie, intelligent magic creatures, usually as a part of an army under the Demon King (Maou) who are violent and opposed to humans, except especially psychopathic in this case. These two representations of JP “demons” are completely different.

>>280740625
Shhh don't tell Frieren fans their show has bad protagonists and incapable complex story stories or thoughts on /a/

>>280740756

>Why is this show like this?

>>280740625
I guess the unique thing about Frieren demons is that they're basically just playing a game to kill humans and nothing else. But that's basically not too different from just making every demon into satan storywise. Even in Tolkien's work, only Morgoth is that kind of dude, Sauron meanwhile is basically just a guy who thinks he could do better, and later he's too afraid to face justice and tries to rule Middle-Earth to protect himself from it.

>>280740612
>It is going to be the next arc. And I guarantee you, /pol/ is going to meme it to high heaven
Fuck, spoil it to me

>>280740612
Frieren demons are more like Mazuko from Slayers in that they are alien entities rather than evil beings. Well Mazoku can’t even take a physical form unless they’re pretty strong, and can’t take a human-looking one unless they’re among the top in strength, and also their power level is vastly superior to humans and it’s generally not possible for a human to beat one in battle. They’re more like lower deities now that I think about it. Anyway, they are similar to Frieren demons in that it’s not that they’re “evil”, it’s that they lack an empathic / moral circuit entirely. Experienced ones can recognize it and imitate it, like how a human can imitate bird calls, but they don’t understand it. A demon can talk to a human every day, and one day the demon is struck by curiosity about how much blood, exactly, is in a human body, and he’ll kill that human just to find out if he’s reasonably assured that he can do so without suffering consequences. As far the demon is concerned, it was strong and the human was weak, and the human should have been smarter in order to avoid death. Just the natural outcome, without the slightest ill will towards the victim. Talking to the human all those times was irrelevant, it’s just that up until now the demon didn’t see any value in killing. The human naturally thinks he or she has built up a trust relationship, but that’s just their empathy circuit talking. So demons are more like aliens who are not compatible with human civilization.

First of all Kimetsu ones are Oni, and they were human
Second Furiren ones are not evil, eating other living beings is not evil

>>280740785
>neither stories are trying to be a "complex story"
OP's meme says otherwise to dismantle one and uplift the other anon. It's not hard to see how one is linear while the other is more nuanced.

>>280740130 (OP)
It's all a ploy to get Nezuko's pooper gored by the boar.

>>280740166
This. Why didn't OP just use Devilman or something? Tanjiro is the worst example he could've for the pro-demon side because the whole point of Tanjiro is that being a person doesn't absolve you of your sins. Hell that's the whole fucking point of the Daki arc, they had to die by his judgement, his mercy extended to letting them die together.

>>280740785
>neither stories are trying to be a "complex story"
I think that is what makes them extremely complex

Tanjirou thinks of demons as humans because his sister turned into one, and he can't deny her humanity.

>>280740130 (OP)
Because you're media illiterate. Whenever fantasy monsters are utilized in most fiction, they symbolize hostile/foreign people or elements from nature. A major part of those themes is reconciling with it.

>>280740574
He's right. What did you think Jesus did when he went straight to hell for after he died? He certainly didn't kill them like Midren did.

>>280740897

>it isnt yet another subversion of expectations trope, so its not for mature adults such as myself!!!
kys

>>280741128
Wait, what? No, that’s not the point at all. The point is to make it 100% clear to the audience that the shounen protagonist is completely good which means that he has to show about caring about the antagonists who in turn must be irredeemable to allow the MC to kill them. That’s all. It’s the absolutely standard moral formula of JP fiction and especially shounen.

>>280741188
wow how dynamic

>>280741158
>He's right. What did you think Jesus did when he went straight to hell for after he died?
There are 2 hells

Gehenna and Sheol
Gehenna is the literal hell
Sheol is just the holding place for the virtuous people who spent their lives seeking God the best they could. They are there because they are awaiting judgement

It is believe that Jesus went to Sheol to proclaim the victory of good and redeemed every soul. Bear in mind that redeem literally means buy back and Acts constantly repeated how great of a price Jesus paid to lift us out

>>280741195
Yup. It's not a coincidence that the Frieren fans in this thread are mostly pea-brained right-wing Christians

>>280741249
So you are a Catholic that still believes in jewish babylonian beliefs like Purgatory or I mean sheol. Explains the luce.

>>280741249
None of those terms are used, just hell/hades. Bloggers interpret it as two different hells however.

And it’s not just a Kimetsu thing. Have ANY of you EVER wondered why Aura’s puppets were ALL empty suites of armor? Of course you haven’t, it’s just something you consume without thinking about. The reason is simple, but an only to those who understand JP media: morals. Frieren CANNOT be shown attacking innocent humans. Frieren CANNOT be shown even defiling the corpses of innocent humans. Therefore, it had to be empty armors, and that’s literally all there is to it. It’s literally that slavishly devoted to moral laws prevalent in all JP fiction outside of edgy pron.

>>280741281
It's literally in tradition
The Church existed before 1500s

>>280740130 (OP)
I don't even like Kny that much but this isn't what Tnajiro says
Tanjiro kills all the demons except the good ones like his sister and the other two whose names I can't remember right now.
But you could argue that Frieren doesn't spare any demon, good or bad. So your bait post might actually have some merit.
However, it's worth noting that the demons of Frieren and Kny are fundamentally different. In frieren, they're an entire race, while in Kny, they're human at first.
But (this last bit would be in your favor, op) both are very prone to being evil.

>>280741390
Yeah, I don't deal with Jewish or Babylonian mysticism nonsense as a Christian. You can entertain it all you want lost sheep. One thing to learn about it to know it, it's another to actually believe it.

>>280741410
Ah yes, the "modern interpretation" which is exactly what led to every crazy Christian

Every single bad Christian stereotype is a protestant who says the exact same thing

>Having a villain with a reasonable backstory and motivator to justify their actions is subversive
Grow the fuck up. Not everything that isn't the simplest of moral duality is an affront to your own sensitivities, especially strawmen you construct in your heads. If that's the case then you should seriously evaluate how much resolve you have in your own values.

Saint Tanjiro is a good lad who saves the human soul from eternal torment of existing as a twisted demonic monster. Many are thankful at having Tanjiro forgive them of their sins, slicing the evil apart from them as he slices their head clean off. Only a handful of demons ardently rejected Tanjiro's blessed salvation. The incest siblings preferred to reject Tanjiro's light and fall deeper in to their own private darkness.
meanwhile Frieren is simply Dogmatic. She purges demons because they are demons and should be purged.

>>280741427
Ah, yes Martin Luther is a crazy Christian to demons like you.

I don't care what the text says. Demon slayer is a bad show. Frieren is a good show.

>>280740130 (OP)
Isnt one of the characters in Demon Slayer literally Kylo Ren mixed with Goku? Its just a female gooner show.

>>280741315
That's because they're not the same thing. Demons in KnY are essentially fancy vampires. Humans afflicted with magic cancer, but still humans, with all it means. You have Akaza's and Gyutaro's, who could have been decent blokes had life dealt them a different hand, but you also have Muzan's, Douma's and Kaigaku's, who were always irredemable sacks of shit, demon or not.
Meanwhile, Frieren's demons are a separate species, that just happens to be predatory towards human and hunting via mimicry, just doing what comes natural, no malice or ill will involved.

>>280740221

>>280741537
IIRC, Croc said that some get what essentially amounts to a slap on the wrist in cosmic scheme of things, spending a few decades, to maybe a century or two until they get to be recycled.
But some are completely fucked. Don't remember her exact wording, But essentially Muzan won't balance his karma out until long after the heat death of the universe.

>>280741787
I guess that goes for those who repent, characters like Akaza and ESPECIALLY Tamayo.

>>280741776

>We see that the religion of the Turks or Muhammad is far more splendid in ceremonies—and, I might almost say, in customs—than ours, even including that of the religious or all the clerics.

Furthermore, which of our monks, be it a Carthusian (they who wish to appear the best) or a Benedictine, is not put to shame by the miraculous and wondrous abstinence and discipline among their religious? Our religious are mere shadows when compared to them, and our people clearly profane when compared to theirs. Not even true Christians, not Christ himself, not the apostles or prophets ever exhibited so great a display. This is the reason why many persons so easily depart from faith in Christ for Muhammadanism and adhere to it so tenaciously. I sincerely believe that no papist, monk, cleric, or their equal in faith would be able to remain in their faith if they should spend three days among the Turks. Here I mean those who seriously desire the faith of the pope and who are the best among them.

>the unique thing about Frieren demons is that they're basically just playing a game to kill humans
Demons in Frieren are just an animal species that feed on a specific animal in the food chain, and that animal just happens to be the Human species, so they evolved to better hunt their prey by mimicking their appearences.
They live to eat and survive; they don't even have a complex society.
In Tolkien's work Ungoliant and her spider-like brood are closer to Frieren's demons. Orcs in the Legendarium have much more developed characteristics, with internal factions, personal autonomy, real emotions and such.

>>280740174
Frieren demons aren't Judeo-Christian demons, at worst they're a human subspecies with horns. The writer failed utterly to make them as evil or alien as he builds them up to be because they show more emotion than the main characters.

>>280740574
I'm gonna give you a little lesson on demons, you see unlike what your pastor/preacher/whatever tells you angels never became demons, the angels that fell are still angels and technically still in heaven and not demons.

You see fallen angels fucked human women and they gave birth to the giants, it's unclear wether or not giant and nephilim are the same but the nephilim were the mortals that were born and died, rejected by God and became demons. They were never angel.

Demons are still angels
They rejected their nature but they were never kicked out of their "jobs"

God has a special role reserved for everyone and he will make a replacement. He gave his gifts and he will never take them back (until judgement day)

Hence why Satan is still technically ruling alongside God

>>280740130 (OP)
TAnjiro just sense that the demon had a tragic backstory,
but it’s never like Naruto where the MC turns into a full-time therapist and spends multiple episodes listening to their trauma.
In KnY, the demon’s sad backstory always plays out entirely in their own head — just a quick flashback before they die.

>>280742359
False, there is no Lucifer/Satan figure in the Bible outside of dogmatic interpretations. It's simply the King of Babylon sarcastically called Lucifer the light bringer. Satan isn't even a single figure, it's a title for the current individual who is opposing God even in the smallest way.

>>280740166
>>280741128
To further tank OP's example, demons in Demon Slayer are corrupted humans often with terrible backstories that lead them to become this while demons in Frieren are biological terminators incompatible with empathy and laser focused on destroying humanity.
Frieren may coldly exterminate her enemy without sparing a thought their deceptions to seek mercy but that doesn't mean that she likes it, she hates demons for making her that way as much as the she hates them for their actions. That coexistence with them is in her view, an impossible goal, hurts her.
Simply put, Frieren would feel great empathy for the demons that Tanjiro fights but would ultimately come to the same conclusion he did and destroy them with a somewhat heavier heart then she destroys her own demons.

Why do I see people assuming Frieren demons are meant to be a Christian thing? The Japanese term just means 'magic people' or 'evil/magic race,' it's a term made up for video games and the like. It has nothing to do with biblical demons.

Because the demons on the left are humans infected and turned by a demon king, sometimes even against their own will and they still retain some human emotions, demons on the right are monsters who feed on mankind and evolved to mimic them in attempt to lure prey better, they have no emotions, not even among themselves, associating in groups only to further their individual goals which revolve around consuming humans almost always.

That seems very contrived to me. Even when a demon achieves self awareness and decides to care about humans, they still have to die because they're biologically incapable of being good people. Hardly fair.

demons were once a human that got into shitty situations and turned into a demon. he kills them but feels sorry because it was never their choice. he did kill Daki and Gyutaro but that didn't stop him from acknowledging their tragic life that culminated with them getting turned into demons. ones in frieren are completely different. they were never humans and they only desired to kill. one is like putting down an animal with rabies, they other is same as exterminating the vermin.

>>280743807
Probably

>>280740130 (OP)
Wrong comparisson. The demons in Demon KNY were human once and cant go against Muzans orders while the demons in Frieren are predetors.

Demon Slayer is to people who like shounen what shounen is to people who hate it, same with black clover, seven deadly sins, any isekai and solo levelling.

both are mid.

dororo already did both concepts beter

Demon Slayer demons are all also slaves that Muzan can remotely kill at any time.

HIS SISTER IS A DEMON! Why wouldn't he?

>>280740130 (OP)
In Demon Slayer, the demons he interacts with are people who got turned into demons.
In Frieren, the demons she interacts with are all born as demons and have always been demons.

Gonna be wild when the demons in Frieren evolve to have empathy and other such human traits.
>My fellow demons, I have come to believe we are the baddies, and we should change
>You're insane
>I agree, but humans taste good so I will still hunt them
>How will we progress our magic without competition? With each other? That sounds counterproductive
>Humans will never accept you, so why change?
>Humans kill other humans, I wouldn't consider them good either
>I agree, and I would like to change by imitating humans more. However, I need human flesh to survive. There is no magic which can assist with this, so I must kill
>If more demons end up like you, it'll be over for us. Demons hunt people, it's how we've progressed for thousands of years. I will now exclusively hunt demons with empathy so the demons who are alive always hunt people.

Frankly that would solve human/demon relations rather quickly.

because OP just used a meme from twitter

>>280747452
it doesn't fucking work, i wonder if any of yall even watch the series.

the author literally plagarized peter watt's blindsight,
"demon"s are literally stochastic parrots.

they have no consciousness and just repeat and process things given in stimulation like the chinese room experiment, or like advanced vampires from blindsight.

also demons were explained to be a convergent evolution, they only look like humans by coincidence, similar to dolphins and sharks looking alike in some sense but having completely different biologies. or bats and birds who both can fly but are so different

>>280747452
Do they really need to eat humans to live? Pretty sure Macht had to have gone years without eating when he was pretending to be good.

>>280741896
Yeah, as he cuts their heads.

>>280750930
I've seen bodycam footage of crackheads using the same tricks as demons to avoid being arrested, "I'm gonna puke", "I'm pregnant", "I'm gonna pee myself", etc...
They still have consciousness, just not a good one.

>peter watt's blindsight
>It won the Seiun Award for the best novel in Japanese translation (where it is published by Tokyo Sogensha)
Kek it might be actually true

>>280750930
Wasn't it more like mimicry evolution for demons? They evolved to look like humans to be better at hunting them, as opposed to evolving into humans coincidentally.

>>280743743
Is funny because this is so clueless than the manga address a character like that and no one has sympathy for him.

Nah. Fuck your gray area shit. Lots of demons are unredeemable in real life and should be treated as such

Wrong, they lack human morals and understanding of human culture but they're not machines lacking consciousness.

>>280741288
one of the Aura fight points was that Frieren goes out of her way to not trash the remnants of her puppets
she does that, not because she feels obligated to respect them, but out of respect for Himmel who explicitly asked her not to do that, when she just nuked them all in the past as it was easier to do

Not evolution, it’s more like adaption. Demons do not have family units and have no concept of family ties, they are literally born and grow up on their own in solitude. The only civilization they had was under the Maou (Demon King). I don’t know how their reproduction works or how dumping newborns in the wilderness is a successful reproduction strategy, nor do I understand why a demon mother would want to have children in the first place, and we’ll probably never have those questions answered it’s just not the point of the manga hence no thought was put into the subject. BUT, if demons have to grow up since newborns by themselves, and there’s no demon society to take them in, they will naturally seek human society and adapt to use humans as both a cover to protect themselves, and immediate access to their “food” supply (although it’s unclear to what degree they’re motivated to kill). Under the Maou they were in the army, but now they only need live for themselves. Maybe in larger cities there are secret societies of demons based on a strength hierarchy, sort of like there’s vampire cabals. Maybe in some cities the underworld society knows of the local demons just as they know of the local necromancers, Assassin’s Guild, etc. f course the manga is too stupid to ever explore these concepts so this is all just fanfiction.

Demons aren't real, schizo.

Of course they're people: evil people you should slay immediately.
