The primary time the present introduces him, Murata runs away from the battle solely to get caught by a demon. This facet character is so forgettable he doesn’t get fun-colored hair or perhaps a second identify. He has no particular powers, and his superiors chastise him typically. He’s simply your run-of-the-mill man who occurs to be caught up within the ruckus of a number of main battles.
However none of that issues, as a result of followers of the Demon Slayer anime have unofficially anointed Murata because the collection’ favourite and unofficial strongest character.
Let’s be clear: Murata will not be all that {powerful} on the earth of Demon Slayer. He’s a typical grunt within the Demon Slayer corps and doesn’t follow any particular respiratory methods. However that hasn’t hindered his status.
If something, the concept he’s the one common dude amongst a great deal of seasoned fighters helps deliver out the inherent irony of the bit.

TikTok is full of movies making jokes kind of just like the one above, however the gag has solely snowballed. One other video, which has more than 3.6 million views, makes a crack about how your entire fandom agrees that Murata is the strongest.
Now, followers are constructing on the unique joke, inventing a pretend however super-powerful combating method that solely Murata is aware of, referred to as “galaxy respiratory.” The thought has grow to be so widespread that it’s a instructed search time period within the feedback.
This isn’t the primary and sure gained’t be the final communal shitposting from the Demon Slayer group. This is similar fandom that started roasting each other on the reside showings for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, in any case.
Fortunately, this time, everybody has determined to go away actuality out of it by elevating a mean character to a god-tier degree of energy.
