Top 4 Zenitsu Nichirin Sword Replicas

Zenitsu Agatsuma is one of the Nichirin sword-wielding protagonists in the anime Kimetsu no Yaiba. He uses his Yellow Nichirin katana sword to help Tanjiro Kamado fend off demons and investigate weird occurrences in feudal Japan.

Before you book your tickets for the next convention, consider dressing up as Zenitsu with these Demon Slayer sword replicas that are sure to add some pizzazz to your cosplays. 

Zenitsu Uses a Special Katana Called a Nichirin Blade

The Hashira Corps uses a specialized Demon Slayer katana known as a Nichirin blade. These Nichirin swords are made from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore which absorbs sunlight, making it possible to kill demons. 

The sword is hand forged by a master swordsmith and is designed to be full tang, which means the sword’s blade is bolted into the entire length of the handle to guarantee its durability. This mimics the way that real-life katanas are made using specialized high carbon steel known as tamahagane. 

Without their Nichirin blades, killing demons becomes impossible for even physically strong slayers like Inosuke Hashibira and Kyojuro Rengoku. 

What Does Zenitsu’s Sword Mean?

Sasuke’s sword in Naruto and Zoro’s countless katanas from One Piece may still take the cake for power, but Zenitsu’s sword is nothing to scoff at. Imbued with the power of his Thunder Breathing technique, his Yellow Nichirin blade helps him channel the power of lightning and thunder.

The sword fits him thematically as well. Zenitsu has one of the fastest fighting styles, giving him the ability to keep up with more powerful slayers like Tanjiro and Uzui.
