With the recent Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie breaking several theatrical and manga records for the franchise and becoming the talk of the town, Reddit user @mephistttoooo posted a cosplay video on the r/KimetsuNoYaiba subreddit community on Friday, July 25, 2025. The video featured the cosplayer with a flaming sword performing the Hinokami Kagura (Sun Breathing) dance.

Within moments of the upload, the video was met with a warm reception by the Demon Slayer fandom, as they exclaimed how immaculate the dance was. While many kept appreciating the cosplayer's ingenuity with the Hinokami Kagura dance dressed up as Tanjiro, others were awed by how difficult it was to pull off the same with actual fire.

The Hinokami Kagura, also known as Sun Breathing, is the most iconic of all the Breathing Forms in the series, and has been renowned as the base for the creation of the others. Furthermore, the fact it is used exclusively by Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the legendary Slayer, makes it even more iconic.

The buzz about the series' recent Infinity Castle movie has also worked as a pivotal point towards the popularity gain for the cosplay, as more people are invested in the series right now than ever. Nevertheless, Demon Slayer has been a fan favorite in recent times, and the efforts shown in the cosplay deserved complete appreciation, not just because of the hype.

"I think Tanjiro got reincarnated into this world y’all….," exclaimed a third in awe.
"So this is what Muzan saw when he almost died to HIM that one time, the PTSD go crazy," added a fourth fan from the community.

While these were just a few comments from the fandom regarding the cosplay, a few fans also expressed the danger that comes with the use of live fire.

"Cool yet dangerous. If I tried this, I’d probably die due to my inability to do such a thing, lol," said one fan.
"Would set myself on fire," added another.
