We’re jumping back into some more Demon Slayer Inspired Workouts.
Starting with Zenitsu!
We saw Mitsuri Kanroji recently and added her to our growing list of Demon Slayer characters, but now it’s time to get some awesome listicles about the most powerful and popular characters!
Oh, and I’m also dying to be able to have our own Demon Slayer mini-database within our Anime Workouts Database which we’ve been able to do for a handful of other shows like DBZ, MHA, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen and even ATLA.
Zenitsu brings us only about two workouts away from hitting that ten mark and being able to warrant the database and even some listicles on the way!
Zenitsu Stats:
Real Name: Zenitsu Agatsuma
Height: 5’4 1/2
Weight: 128 lbs.
Anime: Demon Slayer
Powers: Yes
Zenitsu is very short, and also quite light.
To put it into perspective, I’m 5’6 (on a good day), but I weight about 170-180 lbs.!
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Zenitsu Agatsuma Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Zenitsu Agatsuma Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To get us started we’re going to be pulling right from Zenitsu Agatsuma’s Wiki Fandom page.
They start us off with:
Zenitsu Agatsuma is one of the main protagonists of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and along with Inosuke Hashibira, a travelling companion of Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado. He is also a Demon Slayer in the Demon Slayer Corps.
Zenitsu is kind of like Samwise Gamgee from Lord of The Rings.
Although I’m not necessarily calling Samwise a coward, I just happen to see similarities between the two.
Here’s how his Wiki initially describes his personality:
Zenitsu comes off as a coward, as he often claims that he doesn’t have long to live due to the dangerous job of being a Demon Slayer. He also has rather low self-esteem despite his strength, even considering himself useless as seen when he couldn’t believe he had slain a Demon and tricked himself into instead believing that it was Shoichi, even though the latter was a young child who didn’t possess any form of special Demon-slaying ability. Zenitsu is in a constant state of fear and always cries and tries to run away at the sight of danger, claiming he wants to live a modest, normal life, instead of that of a Demon Slayer.
But, even though it seems like he is…Zenitsu is still actually quite strong.
Here’s how they describe his powers and abilities:
Enhanced Strength: Zenitsu has attained amazing physical strength though years of harsh training. Zenitsu can hold down Inosuke Hashibira with his bare hands and swing his sword in rapid succession at speeds faster than the eye can see without fail.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: Zenitsu is one of the fastest beings in the series. Even at the start of the series, his speed could easily evade the attacks and senses of several demons such as the Tongue Demon and Spider Demon (Son). As he progresses, his speed was enhanced to the point that his movements couldn’t be comprehended and perceived by Upper Rank Demons, like Daki who harbors extrasensory perception, and Kaigaku, a user of the same breath style. Perhaps his biggest feat was when he could outmaneuver a weakened Muzan Kibutsuji and deal extremely significant amount of damage to him. While fighting the Spider Demon (Son), he was able to maneuver mid-air to dodge his poison attack. He is able to contest Daki’s extrasensory perception and dodge her sash attacks which basically have no blind spot.
Immense Stamina & Endurance: Zenitsu has incredible stamina and endurance, complementing his immense speed. During the Sunrise Countdown Arc, he lasted around half an hour exerting himself to the fullest without tiring out in his battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, despite sustaining multiple deep wounds and injuries in his previous battle.
They also talk about the fact that he has heightened senses as a Demon Slayer and is a master swordsman, which are two thing we’ll be keeping in mind while building out a workout as well.
For this one we’re going to mainly focusing in on his strength, speed, and endurance.
He isn’t the strongest Demon Slayer character out there, but he is strong enough to warrant a decent amoung of volume and difficulty, so be ready!
