But...he wasn't weaker. He won. Even with the drawback of daylight, he still killed the Hashira and walked away afterwards.
And he could have killed him much faster and made the sun a non-issue, but he kept holding himself back.
Lol, okay guy. "We won cause we stopped you from killing anyone other than the guy you killed."
Like, it's great that they did that, and they definitely won against the train demon, but claiming they "won" against the Upper-3 because they stopped him from doing some stuff he wasn't even really trying to do, and sacrificing a Hashira to do it...I just don't get it.
He's definitely not. Losing a fight against a stronger opponent doesn't make you a failure.
Really? Cause it just feels like sour grapes to me. It's just Tanjiro going "NUH UH! YOU DIDN'T WIN! YOU CHEATED!".
And look, I understand what you're saying. And I understand that that interpretation is what the series is GOING for. But I still think that conclusion is stupid. And I think the show is stupid for making it.
Even the demon was like "What are you, fucking stupid?"
