So, uh, got an explanation as to what the hell Kara no Kyoukai's messages and themes are? All I got is "morality and good and evil are meaningless" but I may just be imagining it.
Yeah that’s not it at all.
Despite all the hoity-toity visuals and music, KnK is the most thematically simple of Nasu’s works. The basic premise of Kara No Kyoukai is that all the terror the world can offer (in this case, monsters magic and not, mages, existential crises, predispositions toward evil tendencies, etc) can all be overcome when there’s someone out there who cares about you. It’s a love story before it’s anything else.
This is primarily why the 7 chapters that make up Kara No Kyoukai’s main story are always framed using Shiki and Mikiya’s relationship. The first starts in medias res, showing them in the middle of their relationship and how Shiki is the big action hero of the two, then the following stories show how they met, Shiki and SHIKI’s relationships with Mikiya, their internal struggles with SHIKI’s intense tendencies towards violence and destruction brought on by their family’s bullshit attempts to fight oni and reach The Root (that shit didn’t start with Fate. Ryougis being born with two people inside them was the result of attempting-to-reach-the-Root bullshit), SHIKI’s death and Shiki having to live with the feeling of half her personhood and memories gone, how she slowly rebuilt her sense of self with Mikiya’s constant support, fighting off all the bullshit that won’t leave them alone, and then by the end stating that the love she feels for Mikiya when they’re holding hands is stronger than any need she has to indulge in violence. Everything from the Clock Tower to ghosts to actually-just-Metal-Gear genetic programming couldn’t get in the way of her happy end.
This theme is also repeated across the other characters who, while not necessarily in a romance of their own, are influenced by love for the better (the exception is Azaka who is a total fucking freak)
Despite Fujino supposedly being “too far gone” from the intense psychological damage she’s suffered, the kindness Mikiya showed her after he found her on the street acted as a lifeline for her to want to keep on living through her pain. This is also why Shiki, who was really aching to indulge her violent instincts, saved Fujino instead of killing her. When she saw Fujino was just a scared and desperate girl in immense amounts of pain, Shiki couldn’t help but save her instead due to Mikiya’s influence rubbing off on her.
The kindness Shiki shows Enjou Tomoe and the three months she keeps him in her apartment and protects him is what allows him to be brave in spite of all the really fucked up shit he sees inside the Ogawa Apartments. Even when Tomoe finds out he’s basically a Blade Runner replicant and isn’t “real”, he affirms with his dying words that he WAS real and he DID exist, because someone had cared for him, he had fallen in love, and the original him had truly loved his family. That was enough to push him to defy being Araya’s puppet and start the events that would kill the mage,
Oblivion Recorder was completely changed by Ufotable in many ways I do not agree with, but that story originally had to pull triple duty. It was a criticism of Christian schools in Japan and how some of them had teachers who would prey on their students and manipulate them into acquiring more victims, an exploration into the nature of taboo, and finally a last existential crisis for Shiki as she was confronted by a man with the ability to restore the memories she lost from SHIKI, which could potentially have her remember if she really was the perpetrator of those brutal murders (if she turned out to be the murderer, Mikiya’s belief in her innocence and how she had built her new life around that trust would be ruined). ANYWAY at the very end Ouji Misaya is stopped from her revenge plan by Azaka reminding her that she had already killed the teacher who had killed her friend Kaori, the vengeance Misaya was planning on Kaori’s classmates was because she was in grief, not because she still had to seek justice.
In Fujino’s short film in Extra Chorus, it’s shown that the kindness Shiki showed Fujino by saving her life inspired the latter to save other girls, including rescuing a girl from committing suicide.
Even Touko is not immune to this. Despite being Mahoyo’s villain and one of the Clock Tower’s best and brightest (which usually means being an unlovable asshole), Mikiya meeting her and asking her for a job eventually leads to her taking in Shiki AND Azaka for apprentices. Despite a lifetime of learning to be the epitome of everything mage culture teaches, just a couple years of being with those kids forces her into learning to care for people other than herself, and it spooks her so much that she leaves at the end of Kara No Kyoukai, although Fate/Extra showed that the Extra timeline Touko kept up contact with Mikiya, so it’s very possible that Kara No Kyoukai Touko did as well.

In Demon Slayer, Compassion is the Strongest Weapon
The world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one that’s filled with a constant tension. There is the everyday of the Taishou era, a time of relative peace, but there are monsters lurking in the shadows. Demons with supernatural abilities that kill and consume humans roam the land, and following a demon attack that claims his family and infects his sister, Tanjiro joins the one organization that directly opposes the oni. While Tanjiro no doubt has innate skills as a swordsman, one of his strongest traits isn’t his fighting ability, but rather his compassion. It’s not unusual to see shonen heroes have a streak of compassion; in fact, their abilities to understand the struggles of the everyday people who don’t have a voice is common enough. To fight for your friends is to fight for the people you care for and are invested in. To be a champion of the people or of a downtrodden society is to have a high moral compass, even for those you don’t know. The ability to wholeheartedly sympathize with your enemies though, that’s a much rarer thing.
To most of the Demon Slayers, the demons are monsters and remain monsters until they die. They have to be exterminated for the greater good. If someone had recently been changed into the demon, the least they can do is kill them quickly, for mercy killing is ultimately the best they can do. Demons are the enemy, and it’s much easier to think of an enemy as something to be wholeheartedly destroyed. There are no exceptions to the rule and in fact, it’s much easier to be uncompromising in a do-or-die situation. This is a situation where dealing with tragedy is commonplace, and it’s very likely that they haven’t seen any exceptions to the rule to have to think around them. Enemies are enemies, and they have to be killed before they kill more innocent lives.
There is no denying that the oni are mass murderers. That they are almost always willing to view human life as expendable and relish in their newfound power is not something that the series denies. As part of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro knows that the demons are a threat that needs to be stopped. After all, they did destroy his family, consistently try to harm him, and are overall a menace that feeds on humanity. They are monsters, and have to be cut off at the source, there is no arguing this. However, there are exceptions to the rule, Nezuko being one of them. Even then, he’s aware that she is an exception, and that most demons he encounters are not going to end up rediscovering their humanity midway through. Tanjiro is willing to fight his enemies, but he’s also not one to dehumanize them. He’s aware that demons used to be humans once, and that makes him feel pity instead.
During a lot of demons’ dying moments, they begin to regain portions of their humanity, as they remember what drove them to the edge in the first place. Being abandoned, being unloved, treated as worthless and taken for granted; all negative emotions that ended consuming them and forcing them to the edge. They all have tragedy behind them, and we see what that is as they fade away. That is, we the audience see it—but none of that is communicated to Tanjiro. There are no speeches explaining their backstory, so Tanjiro remains none the wiser, and yet he is able to remind them of something they lost because of his inherent kindness. He is respectful to his enemies when he has no reason whatsoever to be. It’s much easier to return cruelty with cruelty than maintain a level of sympathy for those after your life, especially when you belong to an organization set on wiping out said monsters.
It’s also very clear that this is not a case of naivete. Tanjiro knows the demons are dangerous, and he knows they have to be stopped. He is not the type of character that blindly believes that everyone can be redeemed. He is committed to his cause. Still, doing what you think has to be done and still holding respect and pity for your enemy are not mutually exclusive. Tanjiro manages to do both because he’s inherently polite and kind, something that the demons come to value, even in death.
It's very hard to maintain a moral code in a full-scale conflict. To dehumanize an enemy, to see them only for their actions as a thing that must be destroyed, that's the far easier path. Maintaining a code of respect isn't always feasible when faced with a great enemy. Still, Tanjiro has managed to do so, and for better or worse, whether his coworkers agree with him or not, his small acts remind the demons of something they've lost.
What do you think of Tanjiro's philosophy? Is it a strength or a weakness? Let us know in the comments!
