Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle Arc is the next one in the series and will continue the battle of Demon Slayers and Demons. In the Demon Slayer season 4 finale, Muzan Kibutsuji and the Demon Slayer finally encountered. However, things went south after Muzan trapped Demon Slayers, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu in the Infinity Castle with Nakime, Blood Demon Art.

Natsuki Hanae, the voice artist of Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer, talks about his experience voicing the character. In an interview published in AnimeTV, Natsuki Hanae opened up about his feelings. This 2024 interview contains the raw emotions of a young voice artist.

Natsuki Hanae Express His Feelings For The Last Sentence Of Season 4

In the interview, the interviewer asked:

How did you feel when you said the last sentence of the final scene with Muzan?

In Demon Slayer Season 4, we see Muzan in action for the first time. He went to the Demon Slayer headquarters to kill Kagaya Ubuyashiki and clear his intentions. However, things did not go well for him as Kagaya planned something to stop him. He was blown by the explosive Kagaya planted for him.

In the finale of Demon Slayer Hashira’s training arc, Demon Slayers and Tanjiro are trapped in the Infinity Castle. While in the Infinity Castle, Tanjiro encounters Muzan for the second time in the series and is warned.

To the interviewer’s question, Natsuki Hanae says:

Ever since I read the manga, I’d been wondering how I was going to interpret it. I was both excited and a little nervous, thinking that I was finally going to play this scene.

He did his best to express his hatred for Muzan by giving everything he had in the last scene. One can understand Tanjiro’s hatred for Muzan and the sorrow for his family in the voice. Natsuki Hanae, the voice actor, did an outstanding job.

Next, the interviewer asked What is your favourite action scene and moment in Tanjiro? Natsuki Hanae answered quite calmly:

At the very beginning, there’s a fight scene in the Tzumui Mansion, against, Kyogai (Drum Demon). For me, in this action scene, the “Water Breathing” is really beautiful. “Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow.”

The voice artist explained that the animation and the work were really beautiful in this scene, and he liked it. The voice actor admitted that he has an affection for Giyu-San. Giyu-San is the first character Tanjiro meets at the very beginning, so he has an attachment to the character. Furthermore, Natsuki Hanae shares his thoughts about Giyu-San. He thinks of him as a cute and cool character.

He has a close relationship with Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, aside from him. Even as the story progresses, Rengoku-San occasionally appears in flashback scenes. He admitted that he cried or felt lonely every time he saw him. Natsuki Hana told the interviewer that he believes Rengoku is an important character in the story.

The interviewer further asked about his favourite Hashira in the series. Natsuki Hanae replied to the interviewer in a way that made fans happy. He says:

In the Hashira Training Arc, I particularly liked Himejima-San. I really started to like him a lot.

We understand where this comes from. Himejima-San, the Stone Hashira and the strongest one of all is loved by many. He was the first from this generation to slash the head of Muzan in the finale of Demon Slayer Season 4. However, Muzan quickly regenerated.

The last question asked by an interviewer was about his favourite attack. Natsuki Hanae replied the question in the sweet way:

The technique called “Hinokami Kagura: Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance,” appeared in the Swordsmith Village Arc, the animation for it was splendid.
