I love how it's canon that Kyojuro never saw titties in his whole life, and when in the Gaiden Mitsuri showed off her uniform bro was flabbergastered

We talking about this scene?

Hahahaha ngl this is one of my fave scenes because first he is like WTF?! Actually @flametrashira and I were recently talking about this and it's so silly how he immediately accepts it, thinking it must be fine if it's official (while actually a perved kakushi created this). He has so much faith in the corps it's really sweet.

And bby Senjuro is just HMMM I DON'T GET IT.

Baby Senjurō crying because he thinks their dad Shinjurō might die too and Little Kid Kyōjurō having to work so hard to keep things together really is heartbreaking to see.

Hi! Same anon here. Sorry I asked you to judged someone's au without their permission. Hope you're having a great month! Also, can you explain to me what makes Shinjuro tick? I know he had depression and an existential crisis after his wife died, he became a neglectful and verbally abusive father after that for 10 years, and he only started to turn around after Kyojuro died, but i can't string them together into something coherent. Could you explain to me why he's like this, and makes him him?

Your other ask:

Hello! I love your posts about Kyojuro and the Rengoku family. Since we're on that, you are the only blog I've read that doesn’t just page Shinjuro as an abusive father and leave it off as that. Would you explain to me about this character in all the ways you can? And does he really think Kyo has no talent, or is he just projecting his own issues? What is Senjuro to him? Hope you're having a good month!

So I’m going to post these two questions together and just answer them in one shot.

Its okay, I accept your apology and thank you for respecting my refusal to judge someone’s AU. I am doing all right, I hope you are too! Thank you for loving my posts I’m really glad you enjoy them! Lol yes, I am the Rengoku Family Defense Lawyer and in particular Shinjuro.

There is a whole whole lot that can be said about Shinjuro so first I’m going to answer the questions that are most specific. Everything with the Rengoku family is fairly complicated which is honestly fun and fascinating to me haha.

Does Shinjuro really think Kyojuro has no talent, or is he projecting his own issues?

Shinjuro is projecting his own issues, and essentially a family issue that has been passed down along with the Flame Breathing style. It started with the Rengoku Ancestor losing confidence once he heard about the 13th form and realizing that he couldn’t perform that move--the move you HAVE TO DO to defeat Muzan.

“The Flame Hashira, who was my ancestor, lost confidence.” This raises its own question, why would the Flame Hashira lose confidence hearing about a Sun Breathing move when he’s the Flame Breathing Hashira? Because he had hoped to master and carry on the Sun Breathing legacy for Yoriichi. Flame Breathing is the closest to Sun Breathing, the Rengoku Ancestor and Yoriichi were very close, and Ancestor Rengoku knew about what happened to Uta and Yoriichi’s baby, so he knew there was currently no way for the Sun Breathing to be passed down. He perhaps hoped to be able to master it since their Breathing styles were so close, and thus its one of the reasons he kept such incredibly detailed records. That way somebody would be able to read the records and maybe eventually do it. Rengoku Ancestor lost confidence though, and its possible he discouraged his descendants from trying Sun Breathing (perhaps due to his own feelings of low confidence as well as maybe respect for his friend) and somewhere down the line those feelings got twisted into bitterness by one of his descendants and they started teaching that bitterness. The Rengoku family is incredibly talented, Shinjuro included, but because they have always compared their feats to Yoriichi’s none of them will acknowledge their talent and therefore they rely on hard work and really struggle to master their Breathing Style even though its literally made for them, mostly because they’ve gotten that worm in their ear of “Yeah Flame Breathing is good but its not Sun Breathing”. And this is the main reason Senjuro can’t master swordsmanship, he has this chip on his shoulder of inferiority inherited and taught from his family for generations, so his confidence is completely shot. He isn’t Kyojuro so he can’t just force his way through it. Shinjuro always knew that Kyojuro had talent, and he admits it when he writes Tanjiro the letter:

“Even when I stopped teaching him…He read the guide to Flame Breathing. And even with only three volumes…he made himself into a Hashira!”

Three. Volumes. By himself. Kyojuro taught himself a sword style through just reading the volumes and got good enough to become a Hashira, if that’s not talent I don’t know what is. This scene of Shinjuro admitting this to me was also a subtle indicator of him admitting that no, Kyojuro was actually talented and he was just projecting onto him. Not to mention during Kyojuro’s wake Shinjuro blaming Kyojuro for being talentless, saying that’s why he died, was easier than Shinjuro having to stop and look at himself and see that if he had still been an active participant in Kyojuro’s life he might not have died. That he actively contributed to losing Kyojuro by not being a part of his life. He admits that he was foolish and that he pulled away and is to blame for his children being alone. He does love both of his boys, and Senjuro matters a lot to him:

“I see that you and Senjuro have been corresponding for at least four months. That boy has grown so much.”

I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat, he says these things because he is paying attention to Senjuro now, because he does love him, he appreciates Tanjiro caring for his sons, and he’s proud of seeing how Senjuro has grown. “Both Kyojuro and Senjuro are wonderful boys”. This is Shinjuro saying he loves them and is proud of them.

Now as for his timeline of all this--while we don’t fully know Shinjuro’s history and every detail as to why he felt that inferiority and self-pity (no one ever mentions Shinjuro ever failing as a Hashira) we know that he had it before Ruka became sick (and based off what Ruka says to Kyojuro and how she talks, he had it even before they got married) and was most likely trying to hide it from the boys including hiding his depression over losing Ruka and his further feelings of incompetence for allowing her to die.

Kyojuro mentions how he didn’t understand how the loving passionate man he had known as a child had suddenly changed, and it’s because it wasn’t sudden. Shinjuro did what Kyojuro does, where he put on a smile and a loud presence (not as loud as Kyojuro’s but passionate enough) and burnt himself past his limits trying to act fine and hide that he was in pain and suffering. Until he couldn’t do it anymore, which is around when Kyojuro did Final Selection and his first Mission. Shinjuro was still active as the Flame Hashira but his depression and toxic thinking had already sunk in and he couldn't pretend anymore.

It ate away at him enough that he didn’t have the strength to keep putting up the facade, so he turned to drinking to try to keep going and function. Instead it turned into an addiction and just went further into his depression until he was so consumed that he turned into our grumpy, bad mouthed drunk. Also, I suspect that Shinjuro said Senjuro and Kyojuro couldn’t do it because he hoped that he would discourage them enough to stop trying so that he didn’t risk losing them. Him saying “The Flame Pillars will end with my generation”. For me is a way of saying “I don’t want you to become Hashira”. Which is a strange thing to say when your family has a legacy of being Hashira. But it makes sense when you consider that he was afraid of them dying in Demon Slaying. Ruka had passed away from an illness, something out of his control, Demon Slaying is dangerous and the boys could die in it, so he tried to discourage it.

We don’t know if he ever told Ruka about his feelings of incompetence, but she definitely knew about them and we knew that she believed he was a great Hashira. That’s why she would remind Kyojuro that his father was a great Hashira--because he was--for a long time he kept being the Flame Hashira even though he was emotionally suffering.

And it’s also why Ruka was so articulate about making sure Kyojuro knew that not only was he a strong and gentle child but that what mattered was protecting and saving people. “Do you know why it is that you were blessed with greater strength than so many others? It is so that you can protect the weak.” Shinjuro forgot that, members of his family before him, had forgotten that. Ruka wanted to make sure Kyojuro remembered the core principle, and that’s saving people. And thanks to Ruka telling him that he was able to protect and save lives, and not get trapped in his head about his weakness, because he remembered what his mother taught him and he never forgot what the true purpose for being a Hashira was.

I hope this helps!

Lil headcanon that Kyojuro just began to use some sort of western method for sewing Mitsuri's clothes and now I can't stop thinking about that :/

Hehe Happy May 10th, also known in my brain as Rengoku Kyojuro's birthiversary!!! For 3 years straight now I've done something and this year it's coloring in manga panel

The original panel is under the cut below (spoilers for the Fire & Water Gaiden)

Again, also found online. I have this one on my shelf because I'm insane for Kyojuro. Also Hairo is one of the coolest demons in the series imo. Gun & wolf boi go silly in my brain
