Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 isn’t just the successor to the first game, it also pushes the original anime canon forward, covering the story from the Entertainment District Arc to the Hashira Training Arc.

Also, it brings in polished multiplayer mechanics where players can battle across maps inspired by the anime’s fictional locations. You’ll have a wide roster of characters to choose from, train with, and fight as, and, of course, Tanjiro Kamado is one of them. This guide breaks down all the variations of Tanjiro Kamado and the best build for him in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2.

Tanjiro Kamado Character, Explained

Just like in the anime, Tanjiro is one of the main characters. His whole journey is about taking down Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king who killed his family, while also trying to turn his sister Nezuko back into a human.

In the show, you see him grow a lot; from a helpless brother begging the Water Hashira to spare Nezuko, to a fearless fighter who protects humans, stands by his sister, and even takes on Muzan. Hinokami Chronicles 2 reflects this growth by giving you five different versions of Tanjiro, each with its own breathing style and ultimate moves.

Kamado’s basic version, unlocked by default, actually represents his phase during the Final Selection, which carries through part of Season 1. That’s why his combat style mainly focuses on Water Breathing, including his ultimate. In fights, he can perform some Water Breathing forms, such as the Second Form: Water Wheel and Sixth Form: Whirlpool. The same goes for Academy Tanjiro, whose general attacks also rely on Water Breathing.

On the other hand, his other three versions highlight Hinokami Kagura techniques in normal combat, featuring moves like Scorching Rush, Cross Slash, Phoenix Flash, Fire Wheel, Halo Dragon Head Dance, Sunflower Thrust, and more.

Academy Tanjiro is a game-original version of the Demon Slayer character, likely inspired by the manga’s final bonus episode. He mainly uses Water Breathing techniques but has a unique Ultimate Attack where he unleashes a Sun Breathing form with his signature bread and butter.

Best Gear For Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles

Best Tanjiro Kamado Gear	Description
Ultimate Art Power Up	Each time you use Tanjiro's Ultimate Attack, Ascended Ultimate Attack, or Duo Ultimate Arts, their power increases. The effect stacks up to four times and even carries over to the next round.
Advanced Special Gauge Recovery	The Special Gauge starts recovering 30 seconds earlier than normal after you use it.
Enhanced Healing	The health restored from Boost and Surge is increased during battle.

While the aforementioned gear will help in most fights, you can also equip story mode-exclusive gear such as Poison Immunity, which negates poison attacks. This is especially useful in the Gyutaro and Daki fights in Story Mode Chapter 3: Never Give Up.

Other strong picks for Tanjiro in story mode combat include Special Gauge Accelerator and Large HP Recovery, both of which can give you a big edge.
