Call her a darling of anime culture or a paradox wrapped in an enigma, Nezuko Kamado from the juggernaut anime series ‘Demon Slayer’ has taken the fandom by storm. There’s a magnetic allure to her character that makes you go, “How old is this demoness anyway?” It’s no wonder you’re bewitched; after all, she’s a crucial linchpin in one of the hottest anime shows right now. We’ve got the scoop for you, so hold tight!
“Nezuko is currently 14 years old in Demon Slayer. However, she was turned into a demon when she was 12, so physically, she hasn’t changed much even though her chronological age is 14,” says Koyoharu Gotoge, the series’ author.
A Trip Down Memory Lane: Nezuko’s Early Years
In the tumultuous universe of ‘Demon Slayer,’ Nezuko was a mere 12-year-old when the unimaginable happened. Her family met a grim fate, leaving her as the sole survivor, albeit a demonized one. Yet, here’s where her age becomes fascinating. A tragic turn of events didn’t just alter her humanity; it froze her in time.
Her older brother Tanjiro Kamado, a stoic figure in the series, managed to salvage a part of her human soul, keeping her from fully succumbing to her demonic nature.
“By the time Tanjiro becomes a Demon Slayer after two years of training, Nezuko has grown 2 years older. By episode 3 of the anime, she is 14 years old,” confirms Gotoge.
Taking on Demons and the Calendar: Nezuko’s Age in the Series
The first season threw us into an adrenaline-charged story, but through it all, Nezuko remained a 14-year-old demon girl. The end of the first season even saw her being inducted into the Demon Slayer Corps, thanks to Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s recommendation. But the saga doesn’t end here.
Season 2: A Tale Told in Blood and Fire
Fans were left gobsmacked by the animation marvel that is Demon Slayer’s second season, which covered the jaw-dropping Entertainment District arc. Still, amidst the spectacle, Nezuko’s age stood unchanging.
“Nezuko’s age was 14 during the second season as well,” affirms Gotoge.
Season 3: The Unchanging Constant
Even as the story propels us through different arcs like the Swordsmith Village, one thing remains a constant: Nezuko’s age. So, if you’re keeping score, she’s still 14 years old in the third season!
