CHARACTER DETAILS
Starring in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Zenitsu holds the title of the most cowardly demon slayer among the Demon Slayer Corps. He always runs in fear and thinks that he doesn’t have much time to live because of the dangerous life a demon slayer leads.
He wears an orange and yellow shaded haori and beneath that, a standard demon slayer uniform. He’s known wearing orange in the gang, but if you’ve watched the anime, his hair was originally black until he was struck by lightning.
Agatsuma Zenitsu gets his will to fight from people’s expectations. The world turns once he gets serious although his unconscious style of combat leads him to forget a prior battle he’s into. When he gets into fighting mode, he close his eyes as if he feels the surroundings and attack the enemy with Thunder Breathing techniques.
Finally, we’ll have the chance to see how Bandai depicts Zenitsu’s Thunder Breathing combat style into their Figuarts ZERO collection.

OUR VERDICT
Initial Price: $72 USD
Current Price: $80+ USD
The Figuarts ZERO: Agatsuma Zenitsu – Thunder Breathing Ver. has just been released this year of 2020. Three months from its release date, we already see a slight raise to its price.
Needless to say, this Zenitsu piece is fantastic. It passes to be a 1:7 scale figure, and it’s a bang for the buck. To be honest, the design could be a lot better, but it would require better effects and materials overall. Fans can only hope for Zenitsu on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba to make more stunning moves for Bandai to capitalize on.
If you’re looking for a high-quality Zenitsu figure this probably could be your number one choice. The figure has a flashy base, a flashy pose, and a flashy appearance, no doubt. It definitely deserves an A grade!
