Hekireki Issen - Zenitsu (Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Enygma's song "Hekireki Issen - Zenitsu (Kimetsu no Yaiba)" delves into the emotional and psychological journey of Zenitsu Agatsuma, a character from the popular anime and manga series "Kimetsu no Yaiba" (Demon Slayer). The lyrics capture Zenitsu's struggle with self-doubt, fear, and his quest for strength and purpose. From the outset, Zenitsu reflects on his life filled with misfortune and deception, questioning whether he will ever become strong despite his rigorous training. This sense of inadequacy is a recurring theme, as he feels stuck, unable to progress beyond the first form of his Thunder Breathing technique.

A pivotal moment in the song is when Zenitsu's hair changes color, symbolizing a transformation not just in appearance but in his inner resolve. His grandfather's advice to excel in just one thing becomes a beacon of hope, driving him to become a demon slayer. Despite his fears and tendency to faint, Zenitsu's true power emerges when he is unconscious, turning into a force of nature akin to lightning itself. The chorus, "No próprio raio, vão escutar o trovão," emphasizes this transformation, where his breathing technique manifests as thunder, shattering the darkness and instilling fear in his enemies.

The song also highlights Zenitsu's loyalty and sense of duty, particularly in his promise to protect what is important to his friend Tanjiro. This commitment is portrayed as more valuable than his own life, underscoring the theme of self-sacrifice. The lyrics convey Zenitsu's internal battle with fear and his determination to prove his worth, culminating in the powerful declaration that he will not be defeated. The repeated phrase "Hekireki Issen" serves as a mantra of his resolve, symbolizing his unwavering spirit and the thunderous impact of his actions.
