Demon Slayer
Set in Taisho-era Japan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba follows Tanjiro Kamado, a kind-hearted charcoal seller who joins the Demon Slayer Corps after demons attack his family. Koyoharu Gotouge's manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump between 2016 and 2020, pairing spectacular swordsmanship with a warmth rarely found in action series. It was ufotable's anime adaptation, first broadcast in 2019, that turned the story into a worldwide sensation. The studio's painterly effects made every sword technique look extraordinary, while the film Mugen Train went on to become one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time. Today the series sits comfortably among the biggest names in modern anime, with fans spanning every age group and every kind of collector.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Zero Variant's range centres on Nendoroids, the chibi-styled figures crafted by Japanese maker Good Smile Company. Each one stands around 10 cm tall and includes swappable face plates, interchangeable hands and character-specific accessories, so Tanjiro can be displayed mid-technique while Zenitsu wears his trademark look of panic.
The line-up includes:
- Tanjiro Kamado with his distinctive checked haori and Nichirin sword
- Zenitsu Agatsuma and the boar-masked Inosuke Hashibira
- Hashira favourites Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho
- Upper Rank demons Akaza and Doma for those who collect the villains
Why Collectors Love It
Character is the heart of the series. Tanjiro's decency, Zenitsu's cowardly heroics and Inosuke's feral confidence make the central trio endlessly endearing, while each Hashira arrives with a distinct weapon, colour palette and personality. The demons are just as memorable, written with a tragic depth that lingers long after their battles end. Visually, the Taisho-period setting blends katana and haori with early twentieth-century Japan, giving the series a look entirely of its own. Those bold, expressive designs translate beautifully into Nendoroid form, which is why these little figures have become some of the most sought-after anime collectibles of recent years.
