Canon
In the fight against Kokushibo, Muichiro forms his Demon Slayer Mark, and unleashes his original Mist Breathing: Seventh Form - Obscuring Clouds. After a few attacks, Kokushibo slices Muichiro's hand off. Muichiro quickly stops the bleeding, and continues to fight. Kokushibo is impressed, but stabs Muichiro's sword through his shoulder. Meanwhile, Genya was hiding behind a curtain, with his shotgun and nichirin blade. Genya tries to attack Kokushibo, but is quickly cut into slices. Muichiro screams out his name, and tries to take out the sword, but fails. Kokushibo is then blocked by Sanemi, Genya's brother and the Wind Hashira. While Sanemi and Gyomei are fighting upper rank 1, Muichiro and Genya both want to help fight. Muichiro eventually rips his sword out of his shoulder, but knows he only has a few hours left to live. Muichiro ties up his wounds with cloth, and wants to help Gyomei and Sanemi the best he can, but Genya screams his name, telling him to grab the upper rank 1's hair, so he can consume it and become stronger. Muichiro does as he says, and feeds him the hair. Genya says he wants to help his brother any way he can. Genya also helps patch Muichiro's wounds. Both of them die after this fight.

Fanon
GenMui is starting to grow quite some fans due to many people liking this ship, however this does mean that the ship still gets overshadowed by some more popular ships in the fandom. They get shipped romantically or just as close friends. This ship commonly rivals MuiTan, GenTan, and MuiKo.

MuiTan
MuiTan is the slash ship between Muichiro Tokito and Tanjiro Kamado.

Canon
Muichiro and Tanjiro first met at the Hashira Meeting deciding if Nezuko should live or not. After that, Muichiro threw stones at Tanjiro for interrupting Oyakata-sama and tells him to never interrupt the master.

They met again at the Swordsmith Village, where Tanjiro saw Muichiro being rude to Kotetsu and tried to stop him but Muichiro knocked Tanjiro out. After that, Muichiro squeezed Tanjiro's nose to wake him up and asks about Kanamori-san, his new swordsmith, Tanjiro says he will help him look for Kanamori and Muichiro asks why would he care about him, so Tanjiro tells him that helping the people can benefit him too, Muichiro's eyes sparkle and he shows emotion for the first time in years. But both were interrupted by Upper Moon 4, Hantengu, who Muichiro effortesly beheaded. After that, Tanjiro has a feeling there may be a special condition like Gyutaro and Daki. He tells Muichiro not to let his guard down, as Hantengu makes a new clone, who threw Muichiro away in the forest. Muichiro sees Kotetsu in danger and helps him after remembering what Tanjiro says to him. Kotetsu tells Muichiro to help Kanamori-san as well and in that he encounters the Upper Moon 5, Gyokko who traps him. Muichiro sees Tanjiro tell him that he will not die and things his dad said, then Muichiro remembers that his father's eyes were red like Tanjiro's and manages not only to free himself but also to remember his tragic past, and because of that, Muichiro defeats the Upper Moon 5. When Muichiro goes to Tanjiro, he asks if Tanjiro is oka and thanks him for helping him remember something important, as Muichiro remembered his past because of what Tanjiro said.

In the Hashira Training arc, Muichiro is happy to see Tanjiro doing well in his training, and tells him he can go train with the next Hashira. The other Demon Slayers envy Tanjiro and asks if they can too, but Muichiro tells them they can't.

When the crow announces Muichiro's death, Tanjiro cries and sheds tears over the death of an important person.

Fanon
MuiTan is very well received within the fandom. People usually start ship them after the scene in chapter 132, the fandom seems to like creating memes with this scene. Tanjiro is really an important person to Muichiro and that's why Muichiro is always nice to Tanjiro. MuiTan has often fanarts with Yuichiro - Muichiro's twin brother - being jealous of his brother and not approving of their relationship.

The ship rivals TanKana, InoTan, ZenTan, MuiNezu and GenMui.

Currently this ship has 161 works on A03.

SaneShino
SaneShino is the ship between Sanemi Shinazugawa and Shinobu Kocho.

Canon
The two have no major interactions. After Tanjiro is captured and taken to the Demon Slayer headquarters, Sanemi arrives with Nezuko's box. There, Shinobu tells Sanemi not to do anything rash. They then appear side by side in the Hashira meeting.

In the Offifcial Fanbook 2, Sanemi says that he only talks to Shinobu because she is Kanae's sister. On Shinobu's profile, it is said that Sanemi often asks if she's okay when they meet.

In a bonus page, while Shinobu and Mitsuri talk about their uniforms, Sanemi tells them to shut up in his head.

Fanon
SaneShino is extremely unpopular inside the fandom, due to their minimized interactions. A main reason why it should be shipped however, is how they are both short-tempered characters who were close to Kanae. While Sanemi doesn't hide his temper and is very expressive about it, Shinobu keeps it to herself and comtrols her emotions. In fanfictions and fanart, they are usually seen as a friendship, who bond over Kanae's death. Many see their friendship as a rivalry, and are usually imagined arguing.

SaneShino is overshadowed by popular ships such as GiyuShino and SaneKana.

In a chapter, Shinobu says that only immature people don't control their emotions. A few would compare these words to Sanemi's behavior, and believe that Shinobu sees Sanemi as immature.
