Rengoku Kyojuro’s Most Beloved Quotes (11–20) from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Don’t worry about me dying here.Kyojuro Rengoku

You must not be stuck forever grieving my death and be unable to move forward.

In this famous line, Rengoku’s kindness and thoughtfulness—his wish that his death not become a burden or a source of regret for his juniors—and his sternness as a human being—telling them to surpass his death—are both on full display.

For Tanjiro, who heard these words, accepting them must have been painful.

But once he is able to take them to heart, won’t he become stronger? Life is often not this harsh, but this is a line worth remembering.

I believe—I believe in you.Kyojuro Rengoku

Rengoku’s line is imbued with a powerful belief in his juniors.

To believe means to accept everything and still believe no matter what happens; it rests on a deep mutual trust.

Both the person who speaks those words and the person who receives them are required to possess mental strength.

And by believing in others, people can become stronger than they are alone, form solidarity, and accomplish things greater than what a single person could achieve.

If you’re a Hashira, it’s only natural to become a shield for your juniors.Kyojuro Rengoku

Here are the words Rengoku said to Tanjiro in the Mugen Train arc.

These words seem to carry two meanings: first, the passionate resolve of a Hashira to protect promising juniors even at the cost of their own life; and second, the idea of letting juniors handle what they can so they can gain experience.

In any case, Rengoku’s way of living—acting with the organization and his juniors as his top priority—is admirable, isn’t it? It’s also good to imagine what you would do if you were in that position.

Live with your head held high.Kyojuro Rengoku

These are the words Rengoku said when he realized his end was near and addressed his juniors, and for many fans of Demon Slayer they remain some of the most memorable lines.

They carry the message: don’t sink into despair over your own weakness or inadequacy—keep facing forward and live on.

None of us goes through life brimming with confidence, but isn’t it important to hold your head high before the world no matter the circumstances? It’s a line that conveys both Rengoku’s kindness and his strictness.

Please tell them to follow the path they believe is right, true to their own heart.Kyojuro Rengoku

Among the protagonist Tanjiro and his friends’ final entrusted words, these are the sentiments he asked to be conveyed specifically to his younger brother, Senjuro.

Addressed to a brother who had been suffering from the gap between their family’s long history and his own abilities, it emphasizes the importance of living true to oneself.

Whether to honor tradition or follow another path—he urges him to look into his own heart and live honestly.

It’s a line you’d want to remember when you feel swept along by your surroundings, and it could be the spark that helps you find what you truly want to do.

Strength is not a word used only for the body.Kyojuro Rengoku

Rengoku: “Strength is not a word used only for the body.”

Strength is not a word used only for the body. — Kyojuro Rengoku

Here are Rengoku’s words from when the demon Akaza, who despises the physically weak, tried to kill the weakened Tanjiro.

Rengoku himself is physically strong, yet precisely because he understands what true strength really is, lines like these come from him.

Doesn’t it feel as though your values shift when you consider that true strength lies in the heart and the spirit? The same may be true of true beauty as well.

His famous words also seem to teach us the importance of forging our spirit and building a self that won’t break.
