Summary
Giyuu is really nothing more than a seat warmer for a more competent water pillar to come along someday.
When he saw Tanjirou wield his family’s axe and defend his sister, he saw potential. In the short amount of time he spent observing Tanjirou, he saw many things in him. Kindness so genuine it took him aback; concern for others that made the world a little sunnier; and a sense of justice so strong it reminded him of a boy with peach hair. Tanjirou was strong, and he would only become stronger as he grew. He would make a great pillar one day, with some years of training and experience under his belt.
But if all his years spent as not only a hashira, but also as someone who was raised in a world where demons attack the innocent, it had taught him one thing and one thing only— the world was dangerous for kind people.
The idea of giving Tanjirou his spot as a pillar of the demon slayers organization makes him slightly nauseous.
Tomioka Giyuu, if he played a more active part in helping the Kamado siblings after he spared their life.
