Can Inosuke's Sword Really Slice? Demon Slayer 

For real. Like with he way Inosuke grew up in combo with how utterly ripped he is, I strangely dont think that the extra effort makes much of a difference for him… in fact it may urge him to work harder.

Breathing techniques grant superhuman strength, making muscles largely irrelevant.

@@S.A.F.T.I Not true at all. Breathing extract more power from your muscles, if you don't have enough muscle mass, you won't be able to use your technique properly and will end up hurting yourself badly.

I did say largely, having greater muscle mass *helps* but it isn't a necessity. Tanjirou can still use his (I can never remember which is which fire or flame?) Flame breathing, he just can't use it for long. Slayers can still move at superhuman speed and cut boulders in half like they're made of butter. The point I wanted to make is that Inosuke wouldn't have trouble pulling his blades out of a Demon even on the off chance he was stupid enough to try a thrust attack.

Yeah, the serrations are meant to simulate the fangs and claws of a beast(part of why his breathing style is called Beast Breathing and all but one of his forms are call fangs) and rip and tear at the target. They're not meant to slice through cleanly like mos other swords, just like how Shinobu's sword is designed more for piercing rather than slashing.

And it's easy for him to pull out

its more lethal than a katana but not an efficient design

Yeah that

that sounds like it would inflict more pain for sure.

@@epixerty have You ever Heard about the sword breaker? It's design is similar to inosuke's katana and was pretty dangerous

it won't make the demons healing less effective

@@houseofaction Its not about demons really,Inosuke is just used to that stuff because he doesnt fight only demons(atleast before he joined Tanjiro party and even after that its just force of habit)

reminds me of the tri-tip daggers and bayonets of old, or that Strange Killing Sword from Rurouni Kenshin with two blades

Not to mention that serrated edges cause incredibly heavy bleeding from even shallow cuts I know from experience Cutting a bagel gone wrong Went through no less than 3 bandages

@@houseofaction If they're using some kind of resource to quicken the healing it may cause them so spend more of it and|or make process slower.

You mean get stuck in my thick gambisin or break cause if a guy with a rock can just easily bust huge chucks out steel be brittle af

@@thevaultkeeperthethrid9104 It still would cause more pain than normal katana even if it gonna stuck

@@skell6134 if it's able to get pass the material and the idieaof it causes more pain is a dumb reason Your blade gets stuck I strike you but my blade comes out and I strike again We both die

It wouldn't tear and shred, it would RIP AND TEAR *insert doom music*

@@thevaultkeeperthethrid9104 what the f... the same anime tells you a very known issue about katana: are very weak from the side and strong in the sharp

Wow true

people do confuse smart with intelligence though. Inosuke is like goku if you think about it too, both are extremely smart when it comes to combat, but really dumb when it comes to anything else

Inosuke beast breathing is just him going on a rampage lmao

@@akaza2905 not really no, his technique doesn't have the finesse the other techniques have, but it has a brutality that the others don't, not to mention that one of his breathing techniques is a goddamned radar

His style is off of earth breathing if I remember correctly

Damn they tough still even if I knew my arm would grow back I would still cry out in pain if a Katana sliced up to my elbow cutting it through the middle

Daki does mention feeling pain when her ribbons were sliced. Just to back this up.

And wolverine when he was younger and have good regeneration speed like an upper moons

@@kizakaru5517 the spider chick, when tanjiro cancelled her head's subscription of remaining attached, said that she was happy that he blessed her with a painless death(or something along those lines)

@@MoonRose-Valentine because tanjiro did a quick slice by changing forms mid air... If he went with the form he chose first it wouldn't have been a painless death

Incredibly useful but breaks the blade easier

@@naylisyazwina6836 That's true making them serrated with a rock is probably the least durable way they can possibly be made lol

It is completely stupid to have serrated katana it breaks insanely easy it bends suoer easy it can get stuck inside anything light blade like katana is prone to getting stuck inside harder materials and inosukes strength will only help to break it or bemd it even easier

@@tekken.universal2343 I mean keep in mind his swords are meant to be disposable, he has no concept of them having value besides killing things and if they break to kill the thing that just means he needs new ones before he can kill more stuff.

@@mockingbird4346 dude that's not the issue try using your brain okay if he breaks his katanas what will he become ? ............very vulnerable psycho with a mask on most importantly weaponless psycho with a mask on ffs Its not that hard to think

Ok

That’s LORD Inosuke to you

You again haha.

Exactly he knew the lord of the land was an enemy before enmu revealed himself

Yes

Tysm for the caring advice I hope people would see this!

@@ARCAD3BLOOD the tsuba is the hand guard...

@@ARCAD3BLOOD when u think your smart but dont even know what a tsuba is and realize you have -100 iq

@@ARCAD3BLOOD bruh I literally wrote guard there for people to understand what a tsuba is...

@@f00tgames81 When you think your smart because you know things, but doesn't even know the difference between iq and knowledge. 143.

Falling out doesn't really happen with normal blades. See how Tanjiro threw his sword in the end of the Mugen Train arc.

So he's a doom guy.

@@nabelias8991 I guess so lmao

It would be a terrible idea for conventional fighting, but they're fighting demons so it's plausible

Makes sense in a way. His attacks were pointed out as being physically low, akin to fighting an animal. Boars can't slice through meat the same way a sword does, it's more like tearing and slashing just like his blade

@@darthviriditas7669 well it's more of an impale, and gorging out type of attack for boars. Probably some crushing as well. His blades are more like jagged teeth then tusks.

bruh who's gonna be piercing a demons neck

@@ItsTrojanX shinobu

@@ItsTrojanX by extra damage I mean extra pain. It's not that hard to understand. Plus didn't he saw of daki's head? Am I remembering it wrong?

@@Clownyoutube exactly

Not liking this, just because it's currently on 777 likes and I don't wanna ruin it

Inosuke just go,cut off legs and then go for the head

He also killed the mountain god

@@shanecue6474 that's privileged information minion! And you're not privileged! This really pisses me off!

@@Markbell73 ?

What animal sawing?

@@maximillion6189 Your mom on Wednesdays

So basically it’s like a rugged tusk with a boar

the saying that inosuke lived in the wild all alone makes sense why he just turned into a boar

It's meant for shredding and tearing that one cut out pierce damage is doubled I love his thought process

But in actuality, it would also make the sword much more prone to breaking.

Demons do feel pain don't listen to this guy

Yep it should be forged directly like that and with a blade a bit thicker

That's the biggest problem, since these weren't created as serrated blades. The other advantage is that it's slightly lighter though

i mean thats why he keeps breaking his blades probably, he doesnt seem to care much though

good thing its a anime and not real life

@@Nillix1 exactly. 100 percent of the stuff that happens in anime is not real so why are we thinking about cracks in a sword in the first place.

It doesnt come out easily, unfortunately watermelon doesnt have a ribcage to test it but if that was a human u would see more than just blood come out of the body. Not to mention it would damage your katana but hey! Thats fuckn inosuke and that sword is not a regular sword so nothing to worry about

@@alijalalzadeh745 the main benefit would be when pulling it out, there is no rome for doubt that whatever you put it in won't recover, however that's not very against demons who can only die by having there head slices off

Dude,since it catches the flesh,it tears it,and in turn does more damage,soooo

@@neo8039 which doesn’t matter for demons cuz they’ll just heal anyway so causing more dmg doesn’t do much especially against upper moons or people in that tier

Brothers, Inosuke had been living in the forest, so, demons aren't the only thing he was fighting against. It's possible that he made the blade that way because when fighting against an animal, he found it more effective. Therefore, he thinks that the same goes for the demons.

I agree, maybe someday someone can test with a human replica.

I'm saying

Yeah this wasn't really a good test whatsoever 😐 they should've cut a tatami Matt or a tatami mat with a bamboo rod in the middle to simulate a bone

@@cmc1517 I think a tatami mat by itself would have been fine. Apparently these swords are made of 1060, so if they were good enough to cut through tatami I think I'd be sold.

@@navyblustick7758 inosukes sword would not cut through it lmao

yeah they totally should. do it @minikatana

Heck yeah

I want a link sword for some reason

Absolutely

Have they done Tengen's swords yet?

But you see watermelon does not have bones just juicy goodness

Now that you mention it they definitely feel pain because Tanjiro has the "gentle rain after the drought" or whatever it's called to kill them painlessly

@@ShuraEssays to add up to this. Yeah Demons do feel pain but demon slayers like to inflict said pain as a reflection of their inner pain. As explained by the hashiras and ex hashiras. Initially all styles had several postures and attacks for getting a different result when dealing with demons. Some were about doing precise cuts, others to inflict as much pain on the target as possible and then some "weird" styles had painless deaths. Unfortunately since Demons don't care about the pain their victims feel and some even enjoy that pain, fear, agony and such as according to them "makes meat taste tastier", all the other styles gave up on the "painless death" moves as the demon corps agree that Demons will never care for their human victims so why they should care for those monsters? Only water kept their painless death move because most practitioners of said style have a special posture/relationship on Demons. And they know that while weird and exceedingly rare, there are Demons who aren't evil and that accept the freedom of death when their time come so for those weird rare cases "gentle rain after the drought" was kept. If I recall on the the extra panels of the village arc. Only Love breathing is the other style that keeps a gentle death move and Shinobu if she deems a demon worth killing with a quick death poison. Other than that, no other style kept their gentle death moves by the time of Tanjiro's story. Edit 1: Also almost at the end if my memory recalls it correctly, it was explained that when Demons first came into existence, Muzan was the only real exception to the rule as many Demons did not look or own such wretched appearances or demon arts. That started to happened when Demons got stronger, started to develop/evolution and kept living for centuries. So maybe the stress of progressively fighting such ungodly creatures with the pass of time, also aided the notion that "gentle deaths" were not required if in time Demons got more and more hideous as the pile of corpses started to stack up.

It wouldn't survive proper testing, as soon as it hits bone you'll start to chip it and it'll only get worse from there really.

@@shredhead67 yeah. That was what I was getting at.

@@AkselJade your comment sounded more like "serrated IS better against flesh" to be fair

That wouldn't even do it justice, this kind of sword really starts havimg issues with clothes, it's only really useful against naked people.

Agreed; a slab of skin-on pork belly from a butcher's shop would showcase the damage a blade like that would do far more effectively than a melon.

Pig carcass

Plus he's kinda yolked so I doubt it's that much harder to pull out lol

@@izimari true

I think the real reason IS serrations are expensive and dont provide meningful enough advantages

Why you th8nk they didn't use a tatami mat lol

Not really if anything it reduces cutting power and structure If he is so strong and was able to damage it just by rock imaging if sword is hit harder by another sword with all that stress being put into one spot Boom swords break and pig mag as broke sword in chest

Apparently the reason was that it worked with his beast breathing style cause the swords mimic an animals teeth. So instead of slice he rips and tears like a beast

its a watermelon. it doesnt mean its a good blade, as long as it has a good bevel even a blunt can cut through a watermelon

It is impractical not to mention could potentially damage the overall strength and integrity of the blade. It's like taking pillars from the base of a skyscraper and hoping those don't cause a complete collapse. Especially because in the actual manga he makes the serrations crudely via rock and it isn't forged that way. So Inosuke's swords are fundamentally inferior to a normal katana both for their strength and cutting ability. The glaring flaw about this mach test here is that the areas between the serrations should not have sharpened edges, as it does not in the manga. Therefore Inosuke's swords only have a cutting edge on 60% of the blade surface making them a vastly inferior cutter in reality whereas in this test they have a sharpened edge even in the gaps where voids should be. His blades are closer to a medieval sword breaker than a barbed katana. Though ultimately it is fictional and anime bullshit has no limitations lol. The real reason a serrated blade is hard to remove from a piercing attack is that it gets latched onto hard bones. It doesn't matter how strong or wild you are, trying to break a bone by pulling on it with an already structurally compromised blade will leave you with nothing but a hilt and a really mad demon.

I SEE IT!!!
