Muzan Kibutsuji is an egoistic villain in the Demon Slayer. He could’ve easily beaten the Demon Slayer corps long before if he used his brain cells. Blinded by his own ego and god complex he underestimated The Hashiras, resulting in his death at the end. He could’ve invested in other quests rather than finding Blue Spider Lily.

He may look the smartest in the series but his actions differ from this statement. He is just a kid living for a thousand years and nagging for a flower. Demon Slayer Corps is really lucky because their greatest foe had literally the lowest IQ for the whole time.

He missed chances to defeat the Demon Slayer Corps

The Demon Slayer Corps are the only opponents of Muzan in the series and this guy didn’t take them seriously. There were several scopes to defeat Demon Slayer Corps. He could approach Hashiras one by one, being there in the battles, deploying spies among them, and whatnot. Instead of searching Blue Spider Lily for all his life, he could’ve used humans to find it. Someone who is threatened by sunlight shouldn’t be searching for a flower that only blooms in sunlight.

Always driven by anger and aggression, Muzan relied solely on his immense power, believing it was enough to achieve his goals. This overconfidence blinded him to the flaws in his plans and the determination of his adversaries.

Fans are ridiculing Muzan in YouTube comments, pointing out that his blindness to his flawed actions cost him respect as a villain.

When you live for 1000 years thinking gets tiring

Fans are reacting to Muzan’s small brain cells. And he is not as clever as he appears. Compared to Shinobu Kocho, the Poison Hashira is far more intelligent. She invented a poison that would hurt demons when she was just 18.

Don’t forget bro was searching for a flower that blooms in SUNLIGHT

Muzan missed a lot of chances that could change his destiny but all he did was think he was the most superior whereas he was just acting out of pride. Also, he never thought how could defeat the Demon Slayer Corps by tactics, all he cared about was to attack them directly.

His ego became the reason for his death

We all know how Muzan is always boasting about his strengths and power. He behaved like a narcissist half the time and barely used his intelligence and knowledge in the right direction. After failing to find the Blue Spider Lily he didn’t even think to change his approach. If evaluated chronologically it becomes a fact that the reason why was defeated lies in his pointless deeds.

Fans are criticizing him like anything, making fun of his deeds. This states that he lacks common sense. And it’s impossible to become a great antagonist if you lack some basic knowledge. Villians are egoistic but they have to be smart and cunning also. What Muzan had was only his ego which led him to his death.

He didn’t even think about using an umbrella.

He Even killed the person who knows where are the spider lilies

I will never see Muzan the same again

@Your_Daily_FNaF_Fan

Muzan missed every chance to beat his opponents. Not using humans to find the Blue Spider Lily was one of the major mistakes. For instance, Snake Demon is worshiped by Obanai’s family. Living for a thousand years and losing a thousand brain cells was his Modus Operandi.

Demon Slayer can be streamed in Crunchyroll.
