[u/ImJustANormalHuman]

It kinda make sense for me

I mean, even if Nezuko is special demon, he need to take precautions in case if Nezuko sudennly try to eat human

Better safe than sorry right?

[u/CordobezEverdeen → u/ImJustANormalHuman]

It goes to show that he cares way more about his student than his sister (hell he has been training him for a year and a half and tried to stop him from taking the test).

Imagine sending away someone you love with a super powerful man eating demon at his side. Almost nothing would stop Nezuko from munching Tanjirou while he sleeps.

[u/Fablihakhan → u/CordobezEverdeen]

It is not about caring less for the sister though. Nezuko would hate herself if she accidentally ate her brother so for both of them the hypnosis is a good tool. Though I agree that him hoping Tanjiro failed was caring for Tanjiro’s life more than his goals.

Though I can’t blame him the guy must have PTSD with the number of his students who never came back

[u/CordobezEverdeen → u/Fablihakhan]

Why is it wrong to assume that he cares more about Tanjirou than his sister though?

His only interactions with the siblings (at least what has been seen on screen) have been with Tanjirou and its clear he cared about him, caring more about someone over someone else doesnt make you a bad person at all.

There is no way you can like everyone of your friends at the same rate just like you cannot help but like certain members of your family more than the others.

I say this also because a lot of people have been shitting on the sensei for doing this thing and saying its creepy or such when its literally trying to stop a potential murderer from going berserk on your beloved student.

As adorable as the sister is there is no way in hell that you can ignore the fact that she could make some lunch out of your guts because of hunger. I could bet one of my kidneys that one of the plot points in the upcoming episodes or the manga will be the sister hurting or eating someone.

[u/Fablihakhan → u/CordobezEverdeen]

I didn’t say it is wrong. I don’t find anything wrong with the hypnotizing. But saying this is only for Tanjiro’s sake would be wrong.

If a demon eats or hurts a single human everyone has warned Tanjiro’s that she would be killed. Nezuko herself would not want to eat humans and she chose to sleep rather than hunt because of her own will. The hypnotizing is for both their sakes so that Nezuko does not have accidents she wouldn’t want to happen.

And sure the teacher has more connection with the student than his sister because he didn’t want Tanjiro to go to the exam. But in this case what Urodaki did makes perfect sense and he did it for both of them. You by implying that his hypnotism is for Tanjiro’s sake is seeing it in a bad light while I think what he did was a perfectly valid play for both their sakes. And it doesn’t take anything away from the sister who stopped her urges for her family.
