Well, there are also those characters who might be a bit shocked or confused. Take Levi from Attack on Titan. He's a very serious and no - nonsense type of character. If he were to read some of the fanfic about him that deviated too much from his own self - perception, like being made into a comical or overly emotional character in the fanfic, he might be taken aback at first. But then he might also realize it's just a different interpretation and not take it too seriously.
In a Giyuu x Shinobu fanfic, the setting and plot can vary widely. Some might be set during the main events of the Demon Slayer universe, with them facing demons together. Others could be more of an alternate universe story, where they meet under different circumstances, like in a modern - day high school AU. The fanfic could also delve into their backstories and how those experiences shape their relationship. For instance, Shinobu's past with her sister could play a role in how she opens up to Giyuu, and vice versa for Giyuu's own traumas.
I would recommend 'Whispers of the Heart' for Giyuu x Shinobu fans. This fanfic focuses on their unspoken understanding. It's full of small moments that build up their relationship, like when Shinobu leaves a small flower on Giyuu's doorstep as a sign of her care. Also, 'Shadows and Sunlight' is worth checking out. It has a great plot that involves them having to go on a secret mission together and how that journey changes their relationship from colleagues to something more intimate.
One popular tomioka fanfic might be those that explore his backstory in depth. For example, there could be fanfics that focus on his early days of training and how he developed his skills.
Not necessarily. The fact that the netizens had spoofed "Ghost Destroyer's Blade" by Tomioka Yoshiyuki did not prove that this anime was popular because spoofing was a form of entertainment and did not necessarily represent the audience's love for this work. And even though "Ghost Blade" was very popular, it didn't mean that it was a good anime. It was just a bad way of entertainment. Therefore, a spoof of 'Ghost Destroyer Blade' by Yoshiyuki Tomioka did not prove that the anime was popular.
One common theme is the exploration of their relationship. Given their different personalities in the original work, fanfictions often focus on how they bridge the gap between them, like how Giyuu's stoicism and Shinobu's more cheerful yet calculating nature interact.
