Toji can't sneak Tanjiro, his best stealth feat is catching a worn out Teen Gojo off guard and the fact that he was against people relying on sensing Cursed Energy was also a factor. Tanjiro would immediately pick up on Toji's scent and easily track him down.

Outskiling apparently since it won’t hit him with his analytical prediction.
Yes they can, I checked the rules.
that changed? hmm aight
I’m gonna make some points myself here.
His sense of smell lets him read his opponent's movements and track them down, then Transparent World stacks another level of Analytical Prediction on top of that by slowing down his perception of time and letting him see his opponent's muscles and blood vessels in fine detail. People like Gyomei and Muichiro after sustaining multiple injuries were able to counter Kokushibo's prediction and land multiple hits on him when they were able to use Transparent World too. Tanjiro was already capable of countering Akaza before learning Transparent World (only sustaining damage despite blocking Akaza's attacks due to Akaza's overwhelming strength) while Akaza was using Compass Needle (which allows Akaza to predict his opponent's movements by sensing their fighting spirit and enhances his Instinctive Action, awareness and accuracy to the point that his attacks are described to be like a magnet pulling towards his opponent's vitals) once Tanjiro did start tapping into Transparent World, he outright dodged one of Akaza's unerring blows. Tanjiro's instinctive action also allowed him to dodge Muzan's attacks which faster than his eyes could track while he was injured and fatigued from his fight with Akaza.
I don't see how Toji's movements are going to pose much of a problem for Tanjiro, an injured Beginning of Series Tanjiro could dodge Kyogai's Rapid Drumming spamming claw attacks while spinning around his environment, flinging him around the air, and he even had the prowess to avoid stepping on any sheets of paper flying around the room. Toji still has to travel toward Tanjiro like this to hit him which Tanjiro (and worn out Teen Gojo) can easily counter. Mid-air manoeuvres are something Tanjiro can do even after going 5 days without proper food or water although it's not as freely moving as Toji's air jumping.
The amps don't have to close the x2 gap entirely, they just make it smaller which is more than enough for this matchup because a gap like that is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to a sword fight where the weapons are supposed to slice apart the things comparable to them.
Tanjiro blitzed Gyutaro by combining Water Breathing with Hinokami Kagura despite Gyutaro being able to blitz him before not to mention that Breathing Styles can extend his range to Several Meters. Tanjiro can also use Fake Rainbow to create an afterimage that gets more effective the better his opponent's sense of sight is and Solar Heat Blaze which masks the actual reach of Tanjiro's sword with a heat haze and allowed him to get a cut into Akaza's neck despite him seeming to dodge it. The idea that Tanjiro wouldn't use a technique that increases his speed if he can't hit his opponent is pretty silly.
Toji's regen isn't going to be a factor here. A cut in the gut at the end of her first fight with Ogi was still affecting Maki in her fight against Naoya and it would take her 5 minutes to recover from internal damage. I'm not sure Toji should even have Low-Mid regen considering the injury that killed him is within the ballpark of his regen tier and Maki and Toji don't have RCT levels of regen to be regenerating lost limbs or disembowelment.
cept for two little things you forgot.
again this is base analytical predication at best for the smell as it requires a specific sense that can be thrown of pretty badly, the transparent world is where its at as it actually allows for fine detail on the opponents movements and is actually better than being able to see atmospheric shifts.
Yeah, right after Akaza stopped decided to talk to tanjiro for a bit and then after tanjiro barely block this attack at the last moment he decided to praise tanjiro and gloat
In every one of those scans tanjiro has transparent world and it is the ability that makes this fight actually interesting
Cool? I mean he didn't step on a piece of paper while he was falling and that whole fight boiled down to a very basic pattern, room spins, there is a smell of mold which means the claws are coming repeat. This is not at all impressive against an opponent that has literally endless options to approach you with and one tap you with a single strike of his weapon.
yeah and unlike Kyogai he can come from literally any direction he could be going right at you instantly jump into the air, hop right off the air to be above or behind you and unlike Kyogai this doesn't have a pattern of just "room spins, claws shoot out" This isn't even comparable.
my man gojo had blue which can literally say no to any physical movement due to its attracting force tanjiro ain't got that (and even then toji's movements where so fast and unorthodox that gojo even with his six eyes which themselves provide a great deal of analytical prediction couldn't actually keep up to the point where gojo went for his nuclear option of lapse blue)
they are not where near as impressive, he has the most basic air maneuvering one can has while toji can basically fly through air hops.
the gap is at least 2.6 times and while yes sword can do more damage to comparable opponents with ever increasing gaps it becomes less and less effective tanjiro upscales from doma (which is already a bit of a take if you ask me) to slightly above baseline 8-A or 100 tons of TNT while toji massively upscale to a pre realization Maki who was able to tank an attack worth 261 tons of TNT while still recovering from a sever injury she took prior to her heavenly restriction being fully realized and then she proceeded to actually rip out the attackers throat with her hands without even trying. The actual gap in power here is massive something that unspecified stat amps can't close at all.
yeah small problem, Gyutaro wasn't focusing on tanjiro and was outright underestimating him when this happened.
again more his base speed now.
this is a specific technique that allows tanjiro to confusing his opponent, I mean Akaza was outright speed blitzing the poor shmuck prior to this moment and after it.and while this specific move will let tanjiro hit toji it isn't related to speed.
One the cut was literally done a couple of minutes ago to a maki that didn't have regen at all as she didn't fully unleash her heavenly restriction yet. I mean it literally went maki V Ogi, she gets her intestines cut up with a few of her organs to boot and she got up when she her heavenly restriction was fully in effect, killed a whole room full of cursed spirits and then proceeded to blitz and one tap Ogi with the soul split, she then fought the whole Zen-in clan and when she fought Naoya it was stated that due to all of that, she would be at a disadvantage against a speedster in a prolonged fight hardly an anti feat. The internal damage didn't even take her 5 mins to recover as was stated by kamo a bit later;
My man, that is the extreme of Low-Mid, Low-mid is regen that at its base allows you to recover from heavy internal damage like ruptured organs, split intestines and shattered bone all of the things that maki has demonstrated, you are talking about the absolute peak of low-Mid that basically allows you to regenerate a fully destroyed body its big jump.
no he didn't or geto would be dead he used a basic ass katan on him look at this
with see through world? agreed. with the smelling thing? no.
yeah see through world, the actual part of tanjiro's analytical prediction that is better than toji's
Did you get the right scan? because this is talking about Giyuu and that tanjiro can't read his expression not that he can see what the opponent is going to do based on expressions (although that would not be useful in this fight)
he never used flash waltz again in the series even against opponents that vastly out scale his speed and that has a reason to it, breathing styles and their effects this key of tanjiro primarily uses sun breathing as it is the best all rounder of all breathing styles and if he where to use waltz flash he would be drastically cutting down his power to actually blitz toji and due to the already present power gap that would result in nothing, as tanjiro would not do any significant damage by actually limiting his power output by using thunder breathing.
not really, he much like maki is able to regenerate severe internal damage in a matter of minutes, overtime would imply this level of damage being regenerated over hours which is not the case by demonstrated feats.
How is Toji going to throw off Tanjiro's sense of smell, he can't blitz Tanjiro and he doesn't have Fragrance Manipulation, That's like saying Toji's analytical prediction is base at best because someone with Air Manipulation can throw off that specific sense completely.. Meanwhile, Tanjiro picked up on Muzan's scent (despite never directly meeting Muzan beforehand) in the middle of a crowd that was a distance away from him. He can pick up on the scent of traps while the air around him is even thinner than on the mountain he grew up on. He can straight up smell an opening thread where he can strike his opponent, smell emotions, smell a demon hiding in a pocket dimension and the sense he developed while training against the Yoriichi doll are even faster than the opening thread and allowed him to compete against the Yoriichi doll which was wielding 5 swords with 5 hands working in unison.
Akaza doesn't acknowledge people who can't at least stand up to him, the fact that Tanjiro could even remotely stand against Akaza while he was using the Compass Needle and it's multitude of buffs to Instinctive Action, Awareness, Senses, Analytical Prediction and Accelerated Development is a better feat against another person using Analytical Prediction than Toji's non-existent ones.
Your scans literally show Tanjiro reacting to and blocking Akaza's attacks but getting overwhelmed due to the strength of Akaza blows, Akaza's Blood Demon Art: Destructive Death is all about explosive power and shockwaves so simply blocking them with a sword isn't going to nullify the power behind his attacks. Akaza not going in for an immediate kill against Tanjiro means he isn't going to spam his strongest Destructive Death attacks like the Chaotic Afterglow which completely surrounds the area in a Danmaku attack, not that he's going to start ignoring all of Compass Needle's buffs, Tanjiro even affirms that Akaza is still fighting with precision when he states it's as if Akaza's attacks are magnetically attracted to his vitals.Don't know about you but to me this doesn't seem like the behavior of a guy trying his hardest to kill, Akaza was for all intents and purposes playing with his food and it can be seen in the next chapter 149 that he indeed was because the moment akaza started to get even remotely serious, he started rag dolling tanjiro
No, he says even if he can somehow predict Akaza's moves (which he has demonstrated he can albeit with difficulty) he still gets damaged. That's a different statement to what you're claiming.
And I never said he didn't?
Having your footing and entire environment constantly spun around would disorientate you yet Tanjiro can still fight in those conditions while suffering from multiple injuries in his previous fight, and you've listed another feat for Tanjiro's senses. Toji approaching Tanjiro from any angle in the air is pretty much a non-issue considering fending off attacks coming from multiple angles is something he can do easily and it's not as if Toji has a speed advantage here to throw Tanjiro off.
I'd say having your environment constantly spun around and disorientating you while attacks coming in 5s are trying to hit you is worse than some dude going at your own pace air jumping, something that even Teen Gojo while exhausted could counter in time.
Gojo didn't activate Blue until Toji came in for a swing and it's not as if Gojo had mastered minimizing the hand signs of his technique at this point.
That calc isn't valid because it makes a Semi-Grade 1 Zenin fodder comparable to Naobito and Naoya's top speeds.
Tanjiro's whole shtick is decapitating Demons which requires completely slicing through the toughest part of their body, things like this are why AP gaps like x2.6 are pretty insignificant in sword fights.
Gyutaro almost blitzed Tanjiro, who was moving at a snail pace compared to Gyutaro, previously and would've hit him if Uzui didn't push him out of the way. Then Tanjiro proceeds to cover several meters while Gyutaro barely reacts and even comments on Tanjiro moving fast. That's a pretty considerable difference.
All Breathing Techniques stat amp according to his profile and it's pretty nonsensical to argue that Tanjiro combining Water Breathing with Hinokami Kagura after taking several severe injuries is more of an amp than when Tanjiro masters Hinokami Kagura.
Hence Tanjiro has ways of hitting Toji even with equal speed by extending his range
There was more than enough time from killing the cursed spirits to being confronted by the Kukuru Unit to defeating the Hei and fighting Naoya for her injuries against Ogi to no longer be a factor due to her regen.
Neither Toji nor Maki have feats of regening lost limbs and brain damage. Disembowlment means "to remove the bowels or entrails from; eviscerate" and horizontal bisection is offing them (
Tanjiro uses Hinokami Kagura to slash Hantengu as soon as he caught up to him with Waltz Flash, you can even see the fire trail in his swing.
don't have time to make a full response to it today but this is.
I zoomed in on this and it looks like Maki's intestine is hanging out so I'll concede on that, Maki's profile shouldn't use the damage Curse Naoya as evidence for Low-Mid tho
I mean this is the panel right before she gets her guts spilled
