Could they reach an understanding?
Could her brother save her?
Would Nezuko win?
All random thoughts I had and more.
I think it depends a lot.
If Frieren is transported into the KnY world and fights a bunch of local demons, then she’d likely conclude they’re the same shit as in her own world. Then I bet she’d kill Nezuko first and then ask questions.
However, if it’s Nezuko and Tanjiro being transported into the SnF world, I think Nezuko might stand a chance. Frieren would likely notice Nezuko isn’t the same sort of demon as she typically fights, get a bit more on the defensive side, and in the meantime Tanjiro can intervene and explain stuff.
In Frieren’s world, Demons only appear and act human as a survival trait (from what I’ve seen so far). In Demon Slayer, Nezuko is turned into a demon, not born one, and retains much of her humanity in staying with her brother and helping him fight other demons. I think if Frieren were to see that she was turned and not born a demon, they could come to an understanding. Frieren may even make the effort to find a way to revert Nezuko back to being a human.
For context, I’ve only watched the Frieren anime (not started the Manga) and only watched & read Demon Slayer through the Demon Train arc (I got burnt out and haven’t picked it back up yet).
…if Frieren were to see that she was turned and not born a demon
That’s a big if indeed. I wonder if she would humour the concept after what Himmel went through and overcome a lifetime of experiences.
I feel like her attitude towards the final exam suggests she’ll be too closed minded and a duel would ensue.
