After hearing Kyōjurō Rengoku's explanation, Tanjiro felt invigorated, marveling at how he hadn't thought of that himself! Kyōjurō Rengoku's explanation made perfect sense on some level.
"How could I have missed that! Thank you, Kyōjurō Rengoku-san!" Tanjiro exclaimed excitedly.
However, Kyōjurō Rengoku then made an unexpected request, "You have a kind heart and considerable talent. Would you consider becoming my adopted son? You could eventually become my successor."
Tanjiro was clearly taken aback. He hadn't expected Kyōjurō Rengoku to take an interest in him.
Instead of immediately agreeing, Tanjiro asked, somewhat puzzled, "Kyōjurō Rengoku-san, aren't adopted sons of Hashira usually chosen from those who use the same breathing style? I use Water Breathing. If I were to inherit a position, it would be Senpai Giyu's."
Kyōjurō Rengoku burst into laughter, "While that's generally true, it's not an absolute rule. Anyone with exceptional talent can become a Hashira's successor."
"Of course, there can only be one Water Hashira. If you become my adopted son, you couldn't take that title. And since you don't use Flame Breathing, you can't inherit the Flame Hashira title either. But you could call yourself the Fire Hashira, or even the Black Hashira."
Kyōjurō Rengoku pondered Tanjiro's future title, already treating him as his adopted son.
"I believe that since you can use Hinokami Kagura in battle, there's potential to further develop it. If you become my adopted son, I can help you develop and research Hinokami Kagura."
"Throughout history, no one has ever mastered and utilized two different breathing styles. Once a person masters a breathing style, their body becomes unable to adapt to or accept another. Therefore, no demon slayer has ever used two different breathing styles," Kyōjurō Rengoku explained his reasons for wanting to adopt Tanjiro.
Tanjiro thought of Ryuji. When Ryuji treated Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke in the Wisteria Family estate, Tanjiro sensed that Ryuji seemed to use a different breathing style he didn't recognize. While Ryuji didn't explain, Tanjiro knew it wasn't Water Breathing.
Of course, Tanjiro didn't mention this. If his father's Hinokami Kagura was indeed a unique breathing style, then Tanjiro himself also mastered two different breathing styles.
If he could do it, then it wasn't surprising that Ryuji, a prodigy, could also master two breathing styles.
"Is there really no record of a demon slayer mastering two breathing styles?" Tanjiro asked again.
"No! So, what do you think? Will you become my adopted son?" Kyōjurō Rengoku asked.
"If it's alright with you, I would be honored," Tanjiro replied.
Just as they were talking, a loud crash came from the train's ceiling.
