Sumiyoshi also lived at the same time as Yoriichi and although the two of them are not related directly, there seems to have been a very close bond between them, although Demon Slayer needs to further elaborate on that aspect.

As you can read, Tanjiro’s earrings don’t actually correspond to an actual Hanafuda card in real life. The initial design proved to be controversial, which is why the authors have changed it. We’re going to explain the reasons behind this in the next section. Are Tanjiro’s Earrings a Representation of the Rising Sun? For the first time in his life, the eternal demon Muzan was stunned and unable to heal; he sat in a pool of his own blood and furiously glared at Yoriichi, who had just asked him what he thought was the value of life.So, how does the above story actually relate to the Hanafuda earrings? Well, and we kept that spoiler is hidden on purpose (although it’s visible in the video), Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the demon slayer who almost killed Muzan, was wearing the Hanafuda earrings as his trademark.

Although refined card games had been played in Japan by the nobility for years, they were not in general use, nor were they played by the lower classes. This changed in Tenmon’s eighteenth year (AD 1549) when Francis Xavier arrived in Japan. Nintendo is now dedicated to the development of consoles and video games for them, but few know that in addition to Western cards, Nintendo still factories Hanafuda, although they are only distributed in the Japanese market. Playing “Go Stop” with the family at holiday gatherings has become a part of Korean culture for many years. It is also played in the former Japanese colony of Micronesia, where it is known as Hanafuda.

Later, in 1950, the company expanded its objectives outside of Japan; Hiroshi Yamauchi, Fusajiro’s great-great-grandson and future president of Nintendo, made a deal with Disney to make Hanafuda cards with Disney characters. It is quite possible that Yoriichi gave the earrings to Sumiyoshi as a sign of friendship and that they have been passed on to the Kamado family as an heirloom to respect Sumiyoshi’s bond with Yoriichi.

However, it is still possible to gamble by assigning points to combinations of images. However, card games were no longer as popular as they had been, due to government repression in the past. At that very moment, Yoriichi felt Muzan’s evil, comparing him to boiling magma. At the same time, Muzan saw nothing in Yoriichi that seemed dangerous at all and he did not fear her. Being satisfied with Kokushibo as his subordinate at the time, Muzan attempted to kill Yoriichi without prior warning. On the other hand, actual Hanafuda cards have actual meanings. There are 48 main cards in total and their meaning is as follows: Month / Suit FlowerFrom the word yakuza (the Japanese mafia), the origin is unknown, but the belief that it comes from ya (8), ku (9), za (3) is widespread, since 8, 9, and 3 are 20 points, which is the worst hand in a variant of this card game.
