Flavour/Design: Tanjirou is the main protag of Demon Slayer, and is a practitioner of the Water Breathing Style. He is a kind hearted individual who always looks at the bright side of things and always shows compassion for humans and demons alike. He has a very strong sense of smell, and a strong sense of Justice, which drives him to become a Demon Slayer to avenge the murder of his family and the transformation of his sister into a demon (Justified). Like Giyu, he gained the ability to transform his sword to be a Red Nichirin blade, that neuters high tier demon regen (Intrepid Sword). In a fight versus a lower moon demon, he recalled a dance passed down from his father called the Hinokami Kagura, which was later revealed to be the previously thought to be lost Sun breathing technique, and used it to defeat said demon. (Hinokami). He is also one of the few demon slayers to be able to access the see-through world, which allows users to eliminat their intent and become untracable to their foes, while also greatly boosting their power.
Competitive Analysis: Tanjirou is certainly the most colourful Demon Slayer i subbed, as his abilities provide him with a vast list of different sets which all have very different counters. From Choice Band Intrepid Sword sets, to SD Hinokami sets on Sun teams.
