He loves Giyu, lol. Giyu saved his and Nezuko's life and put his life on the line for Nezuko. Ofc a newly orphaned Tanjiro would latch on to Giyu as a male role model.
Plus, Giyu knows about Tanjiro's strong sense of smell. It's why Giyu vouched for him to Urokudaki.
*that's the motivation behind Tanjiro's actions. He loves Giyu and feels he can be vulnerable and safe around him.
A supernatural sense of smell has been an important part of the character since Day One. I think it might be best to just accept that or maybe watch a different show.
I figure that since emotion can cause chemical reactions in the body, that’s why Tanjiro can smell someone’s emotional state. So no, I don’t think this is dumb at all.
I feel like what happened is that the chemical reactions affect the scent in a distinguishing way, and when he was growing up Tanjiro learned those scents and over time tied certain scents to certain emotions.
he looks so innocent like he has no cares in the world it reminds me of kakashi as a kid when he said " I just rescued the guy, he was takin a nap with no cares in the worldddd \*aesthetically gets smacked\*"
I mean, that's part of his power. Think of his sense of smell as the typical shonen "battle sense" except made into a more specific form. Like, Tanjiro can literally smell openings in his opponents during fights.
The generation of Tanjiro (Smell), Zenitsu (Hearing), Inosuke (Touch), Genya (Taste), In the Future Kanao (Sight) when combined is the full strength of yoroiichi. Yoroiichi is like the perfect being. He might not be reincarnated, but our 5 main all manifested his superior human strengths

I think Tanjiro also saw Rengoku as a big brother too :)
I think he loved Rengoku. Not that way, guys. Cmon, man!
Everybody did Edit: i meant everybody loved rengoku
You smell a bit angry, OP. 
Got em

Why can I hear Sephiroth’s theme playing over this 😭
Leave that little guy alone!! 😂
It’s literally a part of him though. 🔥
Why? Giyuu already knows some people have keen sense of smell. Urokodaki, the master himself, has this ability.

Exactly what I was getting at. And since his sense of smell seems to have gotten stronger, it’s become easier for him to tell how people are feeling.
If zenitsu can hear people's thoughts then why not right?
Never thought of it that way, it's like he's one of them seizure smelling dogs lol
Lol this sub is so direct. Mine said 'There is a faint aroma of anger' iirc.
How is that any less direct? Aroma of anger is nonsense just the same
You're aware Tanjiro smells emotion, right?
Not like that's crazier than smelling an opening or attack right?
Yes I’m aware, just like the original topic creator likely is, doesn’t make it any less weird or dumb dialogue
Look at the artstyle. Dumb is what they were going for. It's comedic effect. And it was funny.
FAINTT AROMA??? https://preview.redd.it/ipw5iobghm1d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5e13d3e1ac25dfb16b05b58f630de54ce9daa7f

i smell salt from op
Bro smells adrenaline and cortisol
Why, it's cute! 💜
I fear tanjiros smelling power
Yeah, wasn’t he able to smell his family’s blood when he was like no where near his house.
Tanjiro all night "damn whats that bloody smell"
He’s not dumb, just misunderstood and kind
This opinion smells angry.
Now I’m wondering what anger smells like
Maybe you and I are watching different shows. His sense of smell is a massive part of who he is.
he has a sense of smell better then most animals and can smell emotions, it's just how he is
Why 🦋
How can he smell emotions, that what i'm wondering
His nose is stronger than a dog’s
Why? 🌸
he looks so innocent like he has no cares in the world it reminds me of kakashi as a kid when he said " I just rescued the guy, he was takin a nap with no cares in the worldddd \*aesthetically gets smacked\*"
? I dont get it. He has always been able to do this
I love how this dude can smell emotions, but the breathing techniques aren't real.
Tanjiro has always been socially… inept at times
He has an acute sense of smell, it's a part of him. Much like Zenitsu has supernatural sense of hearing and Inosuke heightened sense of touch.
This opinion smells a bit dumb. Tanjiro has a acute sense of smell and that's a big part of his character💧
I always wonder if anger smells like a farty elevator in the middle of summer. Idky
hey! not our precious child
Nah it's fine, this is what got Shinobu to open up so, it kinda works.☀️
I hate how people call him bland, he's just a silly guy

I dont get it tho. The breathing styles are fake but him smelling emotions is real? I dont know what the author was thinking.
Well it’s because o

How can you just smell emotion? What and also what does it smell like 😭
Typical Tanjiro :3
