Kanao Tsuyuri is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer Anime. For more information about him, check out the fandom wiki page. For more information about the nanoblock builds, check out my collections page for links to other reviews.
This nanoblock build is split into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.
Kanao Tsuyuri’s head is very different from most of the rest of the Demon Slayer heads. Normally there is a large base layer in the other builds, but in this case, the head is built in columns that are connected together. There are several sections that are 1 brick deep with a brick sticking out to connect the sections together.
After connecting 3 sections, the base unit of the head is completed. The rest of the head is building up Kanao Tsuyuri’s hair. In addition to her hair, Kanao Tsuyuri’s butterfly hair decoration is added to the build. The final step of the head is to add the bottom section of her ponytail.
After finishing the head, it’s time to move on to the body.
I began the body by laying the bricks out on my nanoblock pad. The first couple of layers are very straightforward. In the third step, her hand is added to the build. At this point, the build can no longer be built on the nanoblock pad because the hand has a stud sticking forward, so it doesn’t lie flat on the studs on the mat.
There are a couple more straightforward layers to finish building the top of the body.
After finishing building to the top, the build is flipped over, and her skirt is added to the build. Then the clear support bricks are added to the build. These bricks help the build to stay up even though the finished build has narrow feet. The final step of the body is adding her legs, a simple stack of 4 bricks.
Then it’s time to finish up the build. The next step is to attach the finished head to the body. The final step is to build and connect Kanao Tsuyuri’s sword.
When I completed my build, my finished build was very tippy. This is unusual for the Demon Slayer builds, which normally seem to be pretty solid when standing.
Things I liked:
- I really like how they created the butterfly hair decoration that holds up her ponytail
Things I didn’t like:
- My final build was tippy, which is unusual, and I didn’t really like it
