- Hands off! This girl's mine! You and Aizetsu can screw off!
- — Karaku to Sekido regarding Nezuko, Chapter 108
KaraNezu is the het ship between Karaku/Hantengu and Nezuko Kamado from the Demon Slayer fandom.
Canon[]
Karaku and Nezuko only interact in the Swordsmith Village Arc. The two first meet after Hantengu got sliced by Muichiro Tokito, to which he split up into two clones, with one of these two clones being Karaku. A moment later when Karaku is fully there, he uses his fan to blast Muichiro out of the house. After this Nezuko goes on to attack Karaku. Shorltly after the house they were in is destroyed and the two are seen standing in the destroyed house.
While Tanjiro is battling Urogi, Karaku grabs onto Nezuko's wrist, not letting her go. Sekido gets annoyed and tells him to tear her apart already. Karaku simply responds by saying Sekido and Aizetsu can screw off, because he's going to be the one to do it.
Later the two are seen fighting again. Karaku slowly leans closer to Nezuko's face, and then kicks her through the back. He then explains his plan to kill her to Sekido. Nezuko kicks Karaku's mouth and pulls her arm away, causing it to be sliced off. After Karaku regenerates, she uses her blood demon art to burn him. Nezuko grabs a hold of his arm and twists it, so that she can get a hold of his fan and blow him away. She then fights Sekido with it.
When Tanjiro and Nezuko fight the emotion clones, they are knocked into a dip in the ground. Three of them are standing over the dip, with Karaku raising his fan to deliver the final blow. Tanjiro runs away with Nezuko on his shoulder while Karaku chases them.
Fanon[]
KaraNezu became popular mainly on TikTok, after Episode 4 of the Swordsmith Village Arc was realeased. This was because of the scene where Karaku leans towards Nezuko. Some fans took this scene in a romantic way, which started a small editing trend of editing the scene in slow motion. Although the trend was mostly just a joke, there are still fans who support the ship, just not many. Most fans do not see a relationship between Karaku and Nezuko working at all, because of the age gap and the fact that they're enemies.
