みなさん、こんにちは。In this article, I am going to talk about some cold-hearted quotes by 鬼舞辻無惨 (Kibutsuji Muzan) from 鬼滅の刃 (Kimetsu no Yaiba / Demon Slayer).
Muzan is the main antagonist of 鬼滅の刃 (Kimetsu no Yaiba / Demon Slayer) and is responsible for slaughtering the members of Kamado family. He is very cold-hearted and ruthless to not only any humans but also to his subordinates. One of the most memorable scene of Muzan is when he called a meeting with the Lower Rank Demons of the Twelve Kizuki to let them know that he no longer see any values in the Lower Ranks. In Japanese fan communities, this is known as 無惨様のパワハラ会議 (Muzan Sama’s Pawa-Hara Kaigi / Muzan’s Power Harassment Meeting).
By the time you finish reading this article, you will have understood some brutal quotes by Muzan and a number of kanji characters in them.
