Tanjiro quickly intervened, realizing Kozo Kanamori's attachment to his blades was comparable to Haganezuka's.
However, Tanjiro understood Kozo Kanamori's reaction, knowing Inosuke had intentionally chipped the blades. This also explained the evenly spaced chips on Inosuke's previous blades—he'd created them himself using stones. Tanjiro had mistakenly assumed they were battle damage.
"I'm sorry, Kozo Kanamori-san!"
"I'm sorry!"
Tanjiro profusely apologized for Inosuke. Inosuke, noticing the commotion, turned to Kozo Kanamori.
Unfazed by Kozo Kanamori's anger, Inosuke picked up the other blade, chipped it with a stone, creating another series of even notches.
Kozo Kanamori's rage reached its peak. "You idiot! Unforgivable! I'll kill you!"
Tanjiro almost couldn't hold him back, resorting to his Breathing Style to restrain him.
Haganezuka secretly chuckled; Inosuke had damaged Kozo Kanamori's blades, not his own, so he felt no anger. He found the situation amusing because he'd never seen anyone deliberately chip their blades before.
Haganezuka tried to calm Kozo Kanamori, "Alright, Tetsuketsu! This boar-head is probably crazy, don't worry about him. Maybe it's his habit, he doesn't need a flawless blade. Next time, make it to his liking!"
Despite this, Kozo Kanamori remained agitated at the destruction of his carefully crafted blades.
Tanjiro, echoing Haganezuka's words, explained to Kozo Kanamori, "Kozo Kanamori-san, Haganezuka-san is right! Inosuke prefers blades with evenly spaced chips. He says it feels like a wild animal tearing into prey when he uses them against demons!"
Haganezuka changed the subject, "Alright, the blades are delivered. Let's go see that two-toned Nichirin blade!"
Kozo Kanamori's attention was diverted. During the journey, Haganezuka had repeatedly mentioned forging a blade with two colors for a demon slayer.
Kozo Kanamori was eager to see this historically rare two-toned Nichirin blade.
Seeing Haganezuka and Kozo Kanamori leave, Tanjiro knew they were going to Ryuji, the owner of the two-toned blade.
Tanjiro watched Inosuke testing his new blades, deciding not to involve him and followed alone, thinking it best to keep Inosuke away from Kozo Kanamori for the time being.
They arrived at Ryuji's courtyard. Ryuji greeted them and asked Tanjiro, "Tanjiro, did Haganezuka-san deliver the newly forged Nichirin blades?"
