Synopsis[]

Rehabilitation Training Arc[]

Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho cheering for Tanjiro

Kiyo joins the girls in cheering for Tanjiro.

Sumi was pivotal in helping Inosuke, Tanjiro, and Zenitsu get back in good condition after their battle in Mount Natagumo. During their Rehabilitation Training, Tanjiro was confused at their comparison in progress compared to his collogues, such as Kanao Tsuyuri. Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho were able to direct his efforts in using Total Concentration Constant.

Entertainment District Arc[]

Sumi is seen assisting the trio as they undergo rehabilitation after the battle with Enmu. Some time later, when Tengen Uzui arrives at the Butterfly Mansion to take Aoi and Naho on his mission to Yoshiwara, Sumi, Kiyo, and Kanao attempt to stop him (though they do little more than bother him). Tanjiro arrives to prevent him from taking the girls and assess the situation, offering himself, Inosuke, and Zenitsu to replace Aoi and Kiyo for Uzui's mission.

Swordsmith Village Arc[]

Kiyo,Naho and Sumi cries because Tanjiro awake

Kiyo cries in relief at seeing Tanjiro awake.

Following his battle against Upper Rank Six, Tanjiro fell into a coma while recovering from his wounds. When he eventually regained consciousness, Sumi, along with everyone else at the mansion, was relieved to see him awake. When he asked for Inosuke's condition, Sumi told him that his condition was also severe due to the poison in him, leading to her surprise when Inosuke is in actuality hanging in the ceiling panels above Tanjiro's bed.

Hashira Training Arc[]

She is shown alongside Aoi, Kiyo, and Naho taking care of Nezuko Kamado under the sun around the Butterfly Mansion. They've also spent time playing with Nezuko, as their duties haven't been needed. After Zenitsu, who had returned from his mission, saw Nezuko was now able to speak, his ecstatic screaming irritates Sumi and Aoi.

Abilities and Powers[]

Though she has never displayed or, in the case of Aoi, alluded to any special abilities, she, along with Kiyo and Naho, was the one who taught Total Concentration: Constant ( (ぜん) (しゅう) (ちゅう) (じょう) (ちゅう) Zen Shūchū Jōchū?) to Tanjiro. This shows that they do possess valuable information about Breathing Styles and related training.

Trivia[]

  • Sumi's chosen name contains the characters for "middle" ( naka?) and "meadow" ( hara?).
  • Although their kanji are different, she shares the same name as Sumi Shinazugawa, Genya Shinazugawa and Sanemi Shinazugawa's younger sister. So when Sumi's name is uttered, Genya gets brief memories of his sister. [3]

Quotes[]

  • (To Genya Shinazugawa) "As long as you’re still alive, there’s always a chance that the two of you can start over. You must make up with your brother."[3]
