Tanjiro might use his sense of smell to detect hidden threats. Since his sense of smell is super - enhanced, he could sniff out any demons or traps in the way of saving Rengoku. For example, if there are demons disguised as allies, Tanjiro would be able to tell by their scent.
Minato Kanae's 'Confession' was a very popular Japanese novel that told the story of a young girl growing up and her complicated relationship with a boy who expressed his true feelings to her. The plot of this novel is compact and emotional. The readers feel a strong emotional resonance in the story and are deeply loved by the readers.
One idea could be a rengoku fanfic where he trains a new group of young slayers. It could focus on his unique teaching methods and how he instills his values in them.
Tanjiro would be a great character to pair with rengoku. Their different personalities could create an interesting interaction. Tanjiro's kind - hearted nature and rengoku's fiery determination could lead to some great storylines.
One of the main themes is adventure. Since rengoku is often involved in battles and dangerous situations, the fanfics may take the reader along on these adventures. They might face demons together and their relationship develops through these shared experiences. Also, loyalty is a big theme. Rengoku is a very loyal character, and this loyalty extends to his relationship with the reader in the fanfics.
