Kimetsu no Yaiba: They believe Tanjiro was desecrated

Recently, a promotional poster for the collaboration between the video game "Maple Story" and the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" franchise has caused a stir on social networks due to a peculiar visual confusion. In the image you can see Tanjiro Kamado, protagonist of "Demon Slayer", in its pixelated version and chibi style, typical of the universe of "Maple Story". However, what has caught the attention of fans is that, at first glance, it seems that Tanjiro is showing his butt, which has led to a flurry of humorous comments.

This optical illusion occurs because, due to the chibi and pixelated design of the collaboration, Tanjiro's hands, which are holding his sword, seem to be mistaken for his butt. By looking more closely, one can realize the error, but this did not prevent multiple reactions and memes from being generated on social networks.

Some of the viral comments were:

• "Now in 'Maple Story,' Tanjiro with his butt bare goes viral."
• "Is Maple Story still in service...?"
• "You can play (with a double entendre)."
• "It's because he's the eldest son, isn't it?"
• "He obviously wants to win first place."
• "Become Tanjiro... and play...! (with double meaning)".

Despite the initial confusion, this poster has been an excellent promotion for both titles, and has generated a great deal of interest in the community of players and fans of "Demon Slayer". This collaboration demonstrates how unique art styles can create unexpected situations, and in this case, a fun optical illusion that did not go unnoticed by the audience.

"Maple Story" and "Demon Slayer" continue to enjoy popularity, and these types of collaborations maintain the enthusiasm of their respective communities.
