Ladies and gentlemen, how’s everyone doing tonight? Great to see you all here. You know, I was just flipping through the channels on my TV the other day, and I stumbled upon something that blew my mind. Nezuko Kamado, from “Demon Slayer,” doing an interview on a talk show called “Stars and Ai.” I mean, what a time to be alive, right?
Now, for those of you who might not know, Nezuko Kamado is a demon who doesn’t speak in the traditional sense, but she communicates with actions and expressions. And she’s on a talk show? I couldn’t believe it! It’s like seeing a mime on a radio show! But hey, it’s 2023; anything can happen!
So, Nezuko is sitting there on the “Stars and Ai” couch, looking all cute and mysterious. The host asks her a question, and she just nods and smiles. I mean, how do you even prepare for an interview like that? Can you imagine her backstage, practicing her nodding and smiling? “Okay, Nezuko, this is your moment. Don’t forget to nod politely when they ask about your favorite blood type.”
And then, of course, there’s the language barrier. Nezuko’s not exactly fluent in English or any human language for that matter. So, they probably had a translator on standby, right? But I bet even the translator was like, “Wait, what do you mean when you say, ‘I want to eat some demon slayer rolls’?”
But let’s give Nezuko some credit. She’s a badass demon who fights evil, and now she’s expanding her horizons to the talk show circuit. I mean, I can’t even get my cat to sit still for a photo, and here’s Nezuko charming an entire studio audience with just a nod and a smile.
But you know what the best part is? In this day and age, Nezuko probably has more followers on social media than most of us. I can just see her Instagram now: “Just slaying demons and making appearances on talk shows. #LifeGoals #DemonLife.” Meanwhile, I’m over here posting pictures of my lunch, hoping for a few likes.
In all seriousness, it’s pretty amazing to see how our favorite characters from TV and anime can break the fourth wall and make appearances in the real world. Who knows, maybe next week we’ll see Pikachu on “60 Minutes” discussing the benefits of electric-type attacks.
But for now, let’s raise a glass to Nezuko Kamado, the silent superstar who taught us that sometimes, all you need to succeed in showbiz is a killer kimono and a killer smile. Cheers to her, and cheers to all of you for being such a fantastic audience tonight!
