Today, at the request of a dear follower @M9330112719265, I am writing a post about the Rengoku family and the relationships between them🔥. Back when Ruka was still alive, it is safe to assume she was the heart of the family. Kyojuro looked up to her, and Shinjuro loved her dearly. While Shinjuro, the Flame Hashira, lovingly trained his sons, it was Ruka who instilled her moral compass in Kyojuro. Ruka demonstrated what a wonderful woman she was by passing on her values ​​to Kyojuro even from her deathbed. Her plea for him to use his strength to protect the weak became Kyojuro’s life mission. I can hardly imagine a mother or a son one could be prouder of❤️. Senjuro has no memory of Ruka, as she passed away before he was old enough to form active memories of her. Her death left a gaping void in the family. I believe that the Rengoku family's characteristic intensity worked to Shinjuro's disadvantage here; having lost the person who mattered most to him, his wife, Shinjuro was devastated. Losing his beloved wife knocked the ground out from under him. Shinjuro fell into a depression and began drinking heavily. His conviction that Flame Breathing was inferior to Sun Breathing fueled his depressive state, and he began to feel worthless. During this difficult period, Kyojuro took responsibility for Senjuro, as Shinjuro sank deeper into depression and alcoholism, habits that made him prone to violence and caused him to neglect his sons. Kyojuro taught himself Flame Breathing using three books. Shinjuro did not believe in his son, regarding him as weak. Kyojuro, who suffered no less than his father over the death of his mother, Ruka, chose a completely different path. He refuses to let go of his passion and does everything he can to pass on his mother's values. He succeeds in becoming a Demon Slayer and assumes the role of the Flame Hashira, taking the place of his father, who had become indifferent to the position. Even when Kyojuro becomes a Hashira, Shinjuro shows no pride; on the contrary, he claims his son is just as weak as he is. Despite his dismissive demeanor, however, I do not believe Shinjuro is indifferent to his sons. Since Ruka's death, he has spiraled downward; he drinks, suffers from depression, and feels worthless. Anyone who has experienced depression knows how hard it is to pull oneself together or feel anything at all, I speak from experience. This does not excuse his verbal abuse and aggression toward his sons. Kyojuro has to cope not only with his depressed father but also takes on the role of both father and brother to Senjuro, showing him the same love Ruka once did. He makes it clear to Senjuro that he will always be there for him and is proud of him, no matter what path he chooses. When Tanjiro appears after Kyojuro's death, Shinjuro insists it was Kyojuro's own fault, claiming that is simply the fate of a weakling who takes up the sword. He even lashes out at Senjuro for weeping over his brother. It is only when Senjuro relays Kyojuro's final words, which contain no reproach, but simply a plea for his father to take care of himself, that Shinjuro’s emotions finally break through. He likely realizes, for the first time, what an amazing son he has lost. I believe this moment reveals his true feelings for his son. Shinjuro acknowledges his mistakes and finally recognizes how proud he can be of his sons. He gives up drinking and, in all likelihood, begins to take better care of Senjuro. Hoping to follow in his son Kyojuro's footsteps and avoid bringing shame upon the Rengoku family, he keeps a watchful eye on Ubuyashiki. In summary, I want to say that the Rengokus, too, faced their own tragedy. I believe Shinjuro didn't lack concern for his sons; rather, he struggled most with himself. I hope you enjoyed this; a post about Nezuko is coming tomorrow. #KimetsuNoYaiba #KnY #DemonSlayer
