Relationships

Obanai Iguro

Obanai is deeply in love with Mitsuri, as he has stated in the manga. He feels as if he can't tell her, however, this is because of his "filthy blood", caused by the trauma he had endured in the past.^[1] He first saw her when she stood under a sakura tree, which is where he fell in love with her. To show his affection, he gets her gifts, such as food or the green socks that she wears with her standard uniform. Even though she is the Love Hashira, she is unaware of his infatuation, causing his love to be unrequited. They also frequently exchange letters with each other.

He is very observant of Mitsuri, as he is immediately able to tell when Mitsuri is feeling down, as well as what food and how much food she normally eats.^[2]

During the Infinity Castle Arc, she and Obanai fought Upper Rank 4, Nakime, showing impressive teamwork but they are still unable to beat her before Muzan Kibutsuji kills her himself.

When fighting against Muzan with the other Hashira and Demon Slayers, Mitsuri is heavily injured. Obanai instantly rushes to her side, taking her away from the battle to get help. As he leaves her with the other Demon Slayers to go back to the battle, she is seen screaming his name, begging him to come back alive.^[1]

After the battle with Muzan, Obanai is seen cradling Mitsuri's body but, although both were barely still alive, they already felt that they were going to die soon. Obanai and Mitsuri reminisce about the first time they met at Ubayashiki's mansion and how Mitsuri saved him by making him feel like a normal young man and how he won't let anyone say anything bad about her. In the end, Mitsuri confesses that she loves him and that the meals she ate with him were the best. She also states that he has always been looking at her so gently and asks him if he'd take her as his wife if they are reborn as humans again, to which Obanai replies that if she's fine being with someone like him then he'll definitely make her happy and that, next time, he will protect her for sure. This vow eventually happens as their reincarnations are married to each other.

Tanjiro Kamado

During their first meeting, Mitsuri thinks to herself about how Tanjiro continues to protect his sister, despite how Nezuko was turned into a Demon, calling it beautiful sibling love.

Nezuko Kamado

Mitsuri likes Nezuko, as she is seen playing with her during the Sword smith Village Arc.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kyojuro Rengoku was Mitsuri's mentor as she derived her own unique Breathing Style, The Love Breathing from his Flame Breathing. She has extreme gratitude for Kyojuro as well. ^[3]

Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu and Mitsuri get along well as they are the only two female Hashira's of the Demon Slayer Corps after Kanae's death. Mitsuri looks up to Shinobu and trusts her enough to tell her about her worries.^[2]
