The Kyojuro Rengoku moment
Rengoku addresses Tanjiro by the wrong name without embarrassment when corrected — and corrects it just as cheerfully. The mistake is not a failing in his frame.
Why it fits Kyojuro Rengoku
Calling someone the wrong name and not minding when corrected is a small thing — and the smallness is the point. Gōhō-rairaku names the kind of bigness that has no shelf-space for that sort of self-consciousness.
