Hey everyone! I recently saw Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle in theaters (while wearing my Tanjiro cosplay) and thought that Tanjiro would love to give advice about school! I hope this gives you some fun tips to stay motivated!

Hi! I’m Tanjiro Kamado! 

I heard that you sometimes feel really stressed and super scared about school. It almost sounds as bad as the demons I’ve had to fight! *shivers* 

But fear not! I’ll share some tips I picked up along the way as a Demon Slayer! Especially things I’ve picked up from the Hashira! 

Mr. Urokodaki taught me to push myself to my limits (please don’t actually go that far). Adapt this to your studying! I guess it’s not the same as physical training, but you can train your mind! Push yourself to learn and understand new things! Just don’t go all out until you pass out (like I nearly did)…

Once you’ve studied for a while, take a page from Kanroji’s book. After all, there’s always time for a snack! Do some stretches as well! And maybe you can meditate like Himejima. He’s always very patient and calm. Be patient with your learning as well! Giyu is also very patient. Or maybe he’s just really quiet… He taught me to never give up! After he gave me and Nezuko another chance, I knew I had to push on! Don’t ever let your weaknesses hold you back!

I’m not sure I learned much from Uzui, Iguro, or Shinazugawa that would be helpful to you guys… Uzui is very flashy, but I’d say dress in whatever’s most comfortable for you! Honestly, Iguro and Shinazugawa scare me. *shivers* But they’re also super hard workers like everyone else!

Tokito is the youngest Hashira, and he’s already done so much! But he’s recently brightened up and makes time to enjoy himself. You should do that, too! Hang out with your friends! I always make time to hang out with Zenitsu and Inosuke. It’s great to laugh and chat about random things! I also spend lots of time with Nezuko. Don’t forget about your families while you’re away at school! Catching up with them can be a great way to de-stress!  

After a long day of studying and going to classes, get a good night’s rest! Take care of your body or else Shinobu will give you an earful. You don’t want to miss out on all the fun just because you weren’t careful! 

Last but not least, kokoro wo moyase! Set your heart ablaze! It might not be the most applicable when you’re not fighting, hehe… but the sentiment still applies! Rengoku taught it to me. You should always keep your heart and mind set on a goal and follow through with it! Be brave. Don’t give up! There are lots of people rooting for you. I’m rooting for you, too!

I hope you have a great school year and don’t get discouraged! Good luck with studying! Make lots of friends! And most importantly, have fun! 

Take care everyone! Bye!
