While the story and world of Demon Slayer may be dark and filled with grief and violence, its loveable characters remind viewers of the kindness and humanity leftover that's worth fighting for. Nezuko is a clear fan favorite and even made her way to becoming the face/mascot of the series over time.

Her hilarious demeanor, simple form of communication, and raw cuteness have become a great means of comedic relief throughout the heavier parts of the story. It seems fans can't get enough of Nezuko's hilariously cute antics and took it upon themselves to make endless relatable memes of her. Here are a few of the funniest Nezuko memes that prove why she's one of the best characters in the series.
10 The Duality Of A Demon
Sometimes what comes up as a thought isn't what ends up coming out in an actual conversation and apparently, even Nezuko can relate to this feeling. This meme is a great use of Demon Slayer's hilarious contrasting art styles it constantly switches between, depending on mood. In one frame, characters will be drawn beautifully, then the next, they'll all have dot eyes and exaggerated mouths.
Although thoughts can be complex and intricate concepts, sometimes they end up coming out just like the bottom rendition of Nezuko; silly, dazed, and a little too simple.
9 Finally Finding The Elusive 10th Doctor
Almost everyone during their lifetime has heard the notorious, "recommended by 9 out of 10 doctors/dentists" phrase advertised in various toothpaste commercials. Much like how Nezuko successfully evaded Shinobu when being hunted down, these toothpastes just can't seem to pin down that elusive "10th doctor" to reach the coveted 100% approval rate.
No matter how well trained Shinobu is, little Nezuko is too difficult to catch. It seems as if both the elusive doctor and Nezuko won this battle for the time being.
8 Too Cute To Be Turned Away
While the original version of this particular meme was about a pet, it surprisingly fits Nezuko's situation perfectly. The parallel between a shy tenant asking their landlord permission for their beloved pet to stay and Tanjiro's desperate plea for Nezuko's life being spared by the Hashira is eerily similar.
No one could really blame Giyu for so easily giving into Tanjiro's simple response. Just about anyone would have a difficult time trying to antagonize the adorable Nezuko.
7 More Than Meets The Eye
Nezuko, despite her inability to speak after her demon transformation, surprisingly has a lot of depth to her character. She's an obvious fan favorite even without her getting any real spoken parts throughout the series. Words aren't needed when it comes to Nezuko's ability to express herself. Her actions and overall demeanor speak volumes about her character and fans love her for it.
This version of this meme is a perfect display of Nezuko's incredible range; aggressive and bloodthirsty, yet frail and delicate.
6 To Hold Off Until Season 2
It's always sad to see the end of a season; the breaks between can be grueling for diehard fans! While the end of Demon Slayer's first season was sad to see, the lament was quickly remedied by the news of the Demon Slayer movie release!

Once again, Nezuko's amazing duality and versatility, despite her lack of speech, proves to be fantastic meme material. After all, who better to help fans express their excitement for the Demon Slayer movie than the adorable Nezuko herself.
5 When The Company Is Stale
Everyone has at least one awkward memory of a dinner party or family gathering where there wasn't another familiar face in sight. Being the only kid at a gathering is excruciatingly boring and can make the night feel like it lasts an eternity.
It seems as if Nezuko can truly relate to this sentiment; being the only demon along Tanjiro's travels that doesn't feed on or kill humans. It's only natural that she feels a bit out of place most of the time. She may not find herself able to hold a normal conversation anymore, but she still has Tanjiro by her side to comfort her and keep her company.
4 Pet Or Be Petted
A much more wholesome take on the original meme, this version centers around Nezuko's charming habit of always wanting headpats or being the one giving the headpats herself. Nezuko, despite being turned into a dangerous demon, is as loving and affectionate as ever. Since her ability to speak has been taken away from her, Nezuko has now resorted to showing her affection to those around her by asking for headpats or patting those around her.
It's a difficult decision for just about anyone, but either way, interacting with the adorable Nezuko would be a win either way.
3 An Accidental Time Skip
Fans seem to love taking Nezuko's hilarious expressions and using them to paint a picture of their own experiences with the series. To finish an entire season of an anime may seem like a daunting task for some people, but for those hardcore anime fans, it's a different story.
Demon Slayer's story is just so incredibly captivating that right from the beginning, it has audiences hooked right from the first episode. Tanjiro and Nezuko's journey is a riveting one that keeps viewers wondering "what's next?" and suddenly, they realize that they've watched almost the entire 26 episodes in a single day!
2 Grunts In Disapproval
Fans will know that in regards to speaking roles, Nezuko isn't exactly taking front and center stage. Nezuko, after her transformation, has been reduced to only grunting in approval or disapproval. Her bamboo muzzle is worn for both her own and everyone else's protection and of course, also impedes her use of speech.
Although Nezuko doesn't spit out full sentences anymore, she still makes the occasional noise every once in a while like a grunt, murmur, or the occasional angry growl.
However, even these small noises add to her overall character and likeability, and it's all thanks to her talented voice actress, Akari Kito (and Abby Trott for the English dub fans!).
1 Nezuko Doesn't Approve Of Spilling The Tea
This cute little callback to when Tanjiro faced off against Kanao during the "medicinal tea" game is a great meme that shows Nezuko's glimmer of kindness and humanity once again. Although Nezuko wasn't present during the game, when Tanjiro opted to rest the cup of medicinal tea on Kanao's head rather than splash her in the face with it, fans can only guess that Nezuko would have been happy that Tanjiro to opt for the nicer alternative instead.
Although splashing the opponent in the face was actually part of the exercise, leave it to the kind-hearted Tanjiro to refuse to get Kanao's clothes dirty! Nezuko miraculously kept her kind heart through her demon transformation, so who knows how angry she would have been had Tanjiro splashed Kanao instead!
