I'm not completely caught up with the series, and while none of them really stand out as my favorite Jump characters(not that they're bad), I could see it having a lasting impression to at least some people. It's too popular not to. It's kind of like how series are well received during their initial run, but they really get that classic/legendary status looking back on them later as a whole.
I don't think it's something we can actually answer. Which works of fiction will be forgotten or remembered in the future is a question that always gets surprising answers. I might say that, for me, Kimetsu won't have a lasting impact, but that's my bias because of my relationship with the series. Someone might say that Nezuko or Inosuke will be iconic characters considering their current popularity and fanbase, but it might just be a passing fad.
Dunno. When I asked on twitter, my followers from the country gave answers that amounted to "because it's popular".
Personally, I'm not sure. Only time will tell. It is very likely, though, more so in Japan than anywhere else. I can see Kimetsu withstanding the test of time, especially with it blowing up the way it did. The Infinity Train movie's going to be a massive event, that's for sure, and a lot of it's characters will be remembered fondly. The series is ending soon, which might prove a bit of a problem, but ufotable will probably take the first half of the decade adapting the series in its entirety. Overseas, though... well, it has less of a shot, but I do think it can happen. Just as long as it's able to keep being in the public conscious. Memeable characters such as Inosuke and Nezuko are the easiest way to do that. Either way, IMO Kimetsu has the best chance to be remembered if it particularly strikes a chord with the younger audience. They'll grow up with the series and in time will use it as inspiration. The massive popularity in Japan does make this more likely, but again, this remains to be seen.
I was hanging out with my friend on Sunday, and we had went into an anime shop to buy his wife something KnY related.
From what I remember reading in an article it's due to Inosuke headbutting a train (protests started over train fares IIRC?). Also Inosuke being a hothead fits well with protest Imagery I'd assume.
Quite different in japan. I even saw a bunch of game stores having KnY images on twitter lol.
), so that's another big plus.
I think a lot of characters have very distinct and recognizable looks that they may become iconic based on character design a lot.
The same way Joker become symbol of Lebanon unrest for a moment. Some of their fans used their imagery during the protest.
It annoyed me how some of the main cast just jumped into this final battle considering how powerful Muzan is portrayed. I feel like an asspull is inevitable at this point.
Is the team on FF a different one? Or there's a lot of freelancers (and ex-Shaft, I hear)?
I remember reading that the ex-shaft members joined David Pro but not sure on that. The team on FF is a different one tho
Yeah, then I can see an announcement late this year.I remember reading that the ex-shaft members joined David Pro but not sure on that. The team on FF is a different one tho
Edit: Looks like a lot of shaft members moved over to David Pro

They are there only to support and nothing more. It was expected for them to show up anyways.
His rebellious side somehow inspired them and take him as a symbol for their protest
