The Reason Rengoku is So Loud
Rengoku is quite a loud character and often can be heard yelling in the anime and manga. This is possibly because he damaged his hearing by repturing his own eardrums.

Tanjiro Has a Dark Past

He is known for saying “whenever happiness is destroyed, there is always the scent of blood.” This is because he started to become familiar with that smell after seeing his mother, siblings, and father dying. He went to his village once and smelled blood. He then discovered a citizen dying. While he was able to get the dying villager to their family in time to say goodbye, it’s clear that Tanjiro has gone through a lot of loss to be able to smell blood.
You’re Too Kind
Sakonji is known for wearing a red, menacing tengu mask. It’s never explained why in the anime but it’s said that he started wearing it because he had a gentle face. Sakonji was allegedly embarrassed by his kind appearance and started wearing a mask to hide it.
Soap Bubbles and Cooking

Blind to the Truth
Gyomei wasn’t always blind. People assumed he lost his eyesight in an intense battle with a demon. But Gyomei actually lost his ability to see as a child when he had a high fever. This isn’t as badass as people initially thought. But it does speak to his courage and strength still.
