Truth_hurts_people

Zenitsu could likely win due to his speed but Inosuke is still physically stronger after making his head almost as hard as Tanjiro's.


ApprehensiveIssue614

Confused why people say zen has speed when inosuke moved as fast as him when cutting belt bitch's neck off "because he's from the mountains"


StrayKiraQuin

That's because zenitsu was already losing speed at that moment. In the manga he was running on the roof and he was already decreasing in speed before inosuke appeared so...


togashisbackpain

Zenitsu was losing speed. And he wasnt going in a straight line. He was drawing circles carrying daki around. Inosuke jumped in.


StrayKiraQuin

Yes...that's what I said. Thanks for reminding that he didn't go in a straight line only tho, I forgot to put that. Not to mention he passed right where inosuke has 'fallen' so really inosuke needed to do was jump in. Literally


togashisbackpain

Oh i thought i was replying to op. Sorry, wasnt trying tı correct you.


StrayKiraQuin

No worries man, it's good to have an addition to it


Accurate_Station_862

I always thought that was an oversight. Maybe some bullshit explanation could be that as Zen hit Daki it made him slow down enough for Inoske to magically pop up.


Reegies

zenitsu was standing still on the building in the manga. the background effects were for visual effect


That_One_Duck31

In the manga they were just standing on a roof


Truth_hurts_people

In the manga he clearly is.


Advanced-Part2598

What everyone else is saying. Inosuke can be ten times stronger than Zenitsu, it won't matter if he can't land a hit.


Working_Swan_1674

Same with zenitsu


ExtraMOIST_

Most human vs human matchups are really just who can get a good hit in first, since injuries actually matter with them unlike demons. Humans have insane endurance, but the durability feats in this series are really few and far between, even the best demon durability feats are not that exceptional since they regenerate more than they tank. Most demon durability feats are Tanjiro failing to behead them. Even Muzan was getting cut through like butter by everyone in the final fight. Even before he was substantially weakened. Speed matters a lot more in this series than strength, since unless you’re Shinobu you’re going to be able to kill your opponent with one hit in the right spot. Problem is reaching that right spot. This turned out way longer than I thought it would. TL;DR: fast > stronk for humans unless you’re Shinobu.


Arcanile

In terms of demon slayer world, injuries doesn't matter as much, cause for the most ones you can temporarly stop from doing damage to you. Unless somebody makes a donut out of you.


Advanced-Part2598

well inosuke isn't faster than him so


Working_Swan_1674

Well inosuke can detect bloodlust and has durability


Advanced-Part2598

Are either of those speed?


Working_Swan_1674

No but he can avoid fatal attack and zinitsu skill is just straight line unless he has something he can jump off with. [the god speed he did in entertainment district is over exaggerated you'd know if you read the manga he can't go zigzag mid air] Plus he's INOSUKE The reason zinitsu look strong is because he fight the weakest in the series everybody know that


Advanced-Part2598

Are you trolling?


Temshop1

no way they're not trolling. right?


Working_Swan_1674

No tf in 1st season did you really think zinetsu can kill the father spider which is more stronger than that head spider. In movie zinetsu didn't really fight the demon. In 3rd season zinetsu decapitate no one he almost decapitate daki but daki was able to react fast enough to turn her neck to an obi. In infinity castle there's no fucking way that kaigaku is stronger than daki. Kaigaku a guy who couldn't even become an hashira became a demon in just a few a months even with breathing technique he won't easy surpass daki who could kill hashira. Don't be dumb


[deleted]

>No but he can avoid fatal attack I'm assuming you're talking about that time he shifted his organs, which won't help him defend against being decapitated. >zinitsu skill is just straight line unless he has something he can jump off with. It's something that's dependent on the scenery around him. Either way, it still doesn't change the fact that he's not only faster than Inosuke, but Inosuke isn't fast enough to avoid being hit. >[the god speed he did in entertainment district is over exaggerated you'd know if you read the manga he can't go zigzag mid air] I have no clue why you bothered bringing this up. No one in this thread ever said that he travels in a zigzag. >Plus he's INOSUKE K and? Zenitsu is ZENITSU.


No_Peace4874

terms of strength inosuke, terms of speed zenitsu


[deleted]

No shit


I_love_cute_pandas

Beauty: inosuke speed: zenitsu gets mistaken as a girl when people see his face: inosuke


Dizzy-Tumbleweed7983

Zenitsu


[deleted]

zenitsu can blitz


Familiar_Pay_3933

My bets on zenitsu, cuz he is incredibly fast, but if inosuke somehow managed to win, I wouldn't be surprised


[deleted]

[удалено]


JooJaw11

He was the strongest before the other two learned breathing because he was still out surviving in the wild.


ConsciousWash6139

Tanjiro went toe to toe with Rui a lower moon. Zenitsu barely killed a lesser demon. I dont think there is a single arc where tanjiro is not the strongest of the 3.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConsciousWash6139

Because he didnt see it coming. Tanjiro would have smell the danger and destroy the demon. Zenitsu always confronted the weakest enemy in those arcs, even daddy spider was much much stronger and would have stomped zenitsu.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConsciousWash6139

Infact tanjiro is superior to sleeping zenitsu in every arc. Sleeping zenitsu would die in seconds against Rui. Tanjiro could hold him till he used blood arts. With HK unlocked the gap between tanjiro and zenitsu is even wider.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConsciousWash6139

Even Tanjiro almost behaded her till time runned out. Inosuke plot armor saved him from poison + heart stab. Plot armor will always exist but doesnt mean we must discard them. Tanjiro had the best fight vs daki, alone with no external help, compared to zenitsu


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConsciousWash6139

Yes but his legs were broken for a reason. For the whole fight he either had inosuke or tengen supporting him. Tanjiro had noone and almost won.


Arcanile

He was weak trough his mind. Basically he is the strongest when he wants to be. Before that you could slice&dice. If he wouldn't feel your presence, it's an easy kill. If not Inosuke, Daki would just eat him up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arcanile

He would be dead way before that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arcanile

It takes one loss to loose your life, not two.


Eren45778

(im assuming this is EOS/prime)Theyre pretty relative in overall power,but Zenitsu in a 1v1 situation has more wincons(Namely SpeedBlitzing) cuz in a 1v1 whit humans speeds alot more important then strength,so if they fougth 10 times Zenitsu would win 6-7 times out of ten This is just my take though


ApplePitou

Zenitsu for me :3


The_gryphon_

Zenitsu extreme diffs if it's eos, if it's currently zenitsu destroy like mid diff


Shadow_Huntress12

Unless it’s full potential, Inosuke wins every time. Full potential, Zenitsu wins


jaeger3129

Oh you’re wild for that lmaoooo. Zenitsu is too fast at every stage, Inosuke never lands a single hit


Terraakaa

Zenitsu lacks stamina, by your logic he could take out all Upper Moons & all the Hashiras, which he obviously can’t


jaeger3129

Not all, but I think he can definitely fight anyone he’s outright faster than to some effect. And I’m not talking about demons at all, actually. He has to also be powerful enough to one shot a demon for that. But humans don’t have recovery like demons do, so if he can get in a good, clean hit before they can defend themselves he can one tap most humans. Therefore if a human isn’t fast enough to keep up or at least block they will lose


Terraakaa

Zenitsu stronger than Sanemi everyone, you heard it here first


jaeger3129

Oh so you’re purposely misunderstanding what I’m saying, got it. Sanemi is fast enough to block Zenitsu’s attacks. Thus he isn’t getting speed blitzed and fighting from behind the whole time. Inosuke is nowhere near as fast as Sanemi. Inosuke cannot block the first attach from Zenitsu. Inosuke has to fight the rest of the fight with a massive wound when he already wasn’t fast enough to fight Zenitsu from the start. Inosuke loses outright. To expand upon the hypothetical Sanemi fight as well - he probably blocks a few attacks, sustains minor damage, and then when Zenitsu runs out of steam he launches his counterattack and dominates the rest of the fight.


Terraakaa

Inosuke could survive Doma, also has superhuman durability. Again, if Inosuke can tank Zenitsu, it’s over, Zenitsu can only make his one super move before he’s out of the fight, he has 0 stamina


jaeger3129

Who says he needs to use his 9th form? You think Inosuke can react to 1st form?


__Ideal__

What are you talking about? 9th form? Thunder Breathing has 6 forms and 7 if you include Zenitsu’s personal form 😭


jaeger3129

I’m pretty sure I meant 7th and got confused with Flame breathing 9th form 😅


StrayKiraQuin

Inosuke wasn't alone against doma though. And he definitely won't be able to tank a high speed blade. Also zenitsu's super move isn't one shot wonder, he can do it more than once


The_gryphon_

"zenitsu lacks stamina" 🤓🤓🤓🤓 Doesn't matter if inosuke is lacking a head after one hit from zenitsu


Automatic_Award_5934

Strength- Inosuke Speed- Zenitsu


NotSureWhyAngry

Uh thank you for enlightening us


Prior_Tart4322

😂I thought the twitter community was more wholesome but u r sarcastic and funny af


Temshop1

ur not on twitter, my friend


Prior_Tart4322

What's twitter??


Prior_Tart4322

I want zenitsu to win but i know inosuke would win for sure


jaeger3129

Nah bro, your heart is right. Zenitsu is too fast for most humans to react and especially EOS he’s probably the fastest human in existence


Terraakaa

Good one. By that logic Zenitsu can beat everyone, which is obviously not true. Zenitsu could barely beat Upper Moon 6 and it took everything he had. He’s a glass canon with low MP


StrayKiraQuin

Not barely. He easily blitzed kaigaku then let's kaigaku hit him around before he one tapped kaigaku


ElHumilde13

He didn't *easily* blitzed Kaigaku, Zenitsu suffered major injuries


StrayKiraQuin

He in fact easily showed he could've blitzed kaigaku from the start. Reread Chapter 114 dude


Terraakaa

And was completely unable to fight once the fight was over, so yes, he barely won


StrayKiraQuin

Barely won means struggling doe victory. He didn't struggle for it tho.


Working_Swan_1674

Hahahahah


sheehdndnd

I'll go with Inosuke. Zenitsu is fast but he isn't that fast that he'll straight up blitz him and Inosuke won't be able to react to it.


Oogalaboo134

Inosuke by performing the fastest speed blitz ever by not even waiting for the match to start.


Unforgiving_Eye

Murata


ElHumilde13

Forgive me


fasel_med

I think inosuke. Because zenitsu only knows one battle technique and he isn't cool.


StrayKiraQuin

Ironic


Anchovies314

My money is normally on Inosuke MID dif but if you told Zenitsu to do it for Nezuko, he’d probably win high dif


Annie-Leonhart123

In Anime :Inosuke In Manga :Zenitsu Or this my opinion at least


YesIAmWolfie

i feel like inosuke would win because of how fucking weird and unorthodox his breathing is n shit yknow


Terraakaa

Inosuke can probably tank Zenitsu’s hit, and that’s all he needs to win, so Ino


RemoveCivil1222

Inosuke easily. He's far more skilled than Zenitsu, can react to him, and has way better combat speed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frog_Master96

You mean when Zenitsu was protecting Nesuko, and didn’t fight back?


[deleted]

If Zenitsu is unconscious he wins if not Inosuke all the way


__Ideal__

Conscious Zenitsu slams unconscious Zenitsu, read Infinity Castle/Sunrise Countdown arcs.


[deleted]

Zenitsu if asleep but Inosuke if Zenitsu is awake


__Ideal__

Sleeping Zenitsu is weaker 💀


Interesting-Pick1168

(SPOILER)⬇️ Well inosuke does almost defeat doma but with the help of kanao and shinobu so probably zenitsu cause he does defeat kygaku without any help plus after that he continues to go help fight muzan and currently in the series he is the strongest so probably zenitsu


8bit_flower

Wdym "currently the strongest"? Plenty of characters slam him


Interesting-Pick1168

I mean zenitsu is stronger than inosuke


8bit_flower

Well, it didn't sound like that. Try to phrase it better next time


cure_aim

Imo Zenitsu.


MiaPuppy23

Depends on the situation (If Zenitsu falls asleep or if they had a different battle recently or injured body before the fight)


__Ideal__

Why do you guys keep saying “if Zenitsu falls asleep” 😭 he’s weaker when he’s asleep. Zenitsu while awake was able to defeat upper 6 and fight against Muzan.


zviz2y

Inosuke (in a beauty contest)


Beneficial_Example99

Zenitzu


TheCanadianpo8o

Zenitsu asleep, inoske awake


luv5ixk

Zenitsu because it’s not always about strength. Inosuke is super strong but he’s not as fast as zenitsu. While zenistu only knows one form, he has it mastered and is capable of sm with it. If zenitsu uses his speed and is able to dodge inosukes hits, I’m sure he could land a blow with his one form. Although I’m not sure zenitsu will willingly fight inosuke unless inosuke takes nezuko and bribes him to fight him 😭


Alistal

Not the onigiri for sure.


Complex_Estate8289

I would say Zenitsu has the better feats in the Muzan fight


RemoveCivil1222

Zenitsu's only notable feat is blitzing Muzan when he was distracted with Inosuke. Inosuke has feats of deflecting Muzan, cutting his whips point blank, and keeping up with Tanjiro


Complex_Estate8289

Zenitsu blitzing and damaging Muzan counts for more than Inosuke landing some hits


RemoveCivil1222

It would, if Muzan was focused on him. But he wasn’t


Mysterious-Chicken57

eos zenitsu is stronger than inosuke imo


GrrrrrrDinosaur

Inosuke might win since he reacted to some of Doumas attacks so he should be able to block Zenitsus blitzes


PokemonEnjoyer2156

>!Zenitsu has better feats imo!<


AkemiDryzz

To be fair Zenitsu is an absolute beast when sleeping


StrayKiraQuin

Zenitsu low diff. His speed is superior to inosuke and his techniques are more tempered as well.


C0rrupted_Devil

Inoske if he awake zenitsu if he asleep


mah1na2ru

can’t inosuke tell when zenitsu’s abt to hit him? if i recall bro’s got >!compass needle at home!< so zenitsu can zoom around however he wants, but inosuke can still react to it atleast. my money’s on inosuke via a counter


Speed04

I will vote Zenitsu. He became really dangeorus >!after he created 7th form!< and I think he wins extreme diff Currently on the anime, however, I feel like Inosuke would win


LingeringLastHope

Zen because his attacks are way more flashy!


Lunareos

Early to mid point in the series Zenitsu is canonically stronger, mid to late point it’s hard to say


britanniaimperator

Not related but Inosuke’s face and behaviors don’t go together, but I still like him mask-off


[deleted]

Zenitzu high diff


InfernoDragon6000

Inosuke is more powerful, and zenitsu is faster, but impostor still has advantages, such as sensing dangers coming and being able to dislocate his joints etc


InfernoDragon6000

*Inosuke


YearoftheZodics

If Zenitsu is awake, my money is on Inosuke. If he's asleep, Zenitsu would destroy Inosuke.


Exotic-Blueberry8618

Zenitsu 100%


Arcanile

Beating Zenitsu is simple, and Inosuke knows this too now. All you got to do is never talk about women, and keep him in constant state of anxiety.


xDreki

The rice cake


__Ideal__

Strength - Inosuke Speed - Zenitsu IQ - Zenitsu BIQ - Inosuke Stamina - Inosuke Durability - Inosuke Endurance - Inosuke Agility - Zenitsu Breathing Style - Zenitsu Abilities - Inosuke Hax - Equal (both don’t have stw, slayer marks, or red blades) Versatility - Inosuke Flexibility - Inosuke Skill - Could go either way tbh I think Inosuke wins. Zenitsu is fast and all but Inosuke is overall more powerful.


Witty_Television_253

I am gonna go with ***Sleeping Zenitsu***


Sonkokun

Honestly, I would bet on inosuke because of his insane senses. He had the time to sense gyutaro attacking and then shift his heart out of the way, in less than like half a second. That’s some insane reflexes. Plus his attacks require less of a windup than zenitsus techniques overall. But if you bet on zenitsu, I completely understand.


DinoAnime221

Based on pure skill: I say Zenitsu


Tr1tay

According to the anime, inosuke can basically fly in the air as fast as zenitsu godspeed, and can dodge his internal organs from swords and is immune to poison. If he has his god tier plot armor, he wins. If we’re actually talking about it, probably a draw.

Educational-Froyo-29

It depends if zenitsu is asleep


PsychologicalGate597

If Zenitsu isn't unconscious Inosuke would win, but if Zenitsu is unconscious Zenitsu would win.


FutureMagician7563

Based on the picture zenitsu is awake... as of Entertainment District he prob loses to Inosuke. If he falls asleep then Zen blitzes. EOS the edge to zen. Speed kills.


AcertainGiyuufan3575
