**Awful Villain** (極 (ごく) 悪 (あく) 人 (にん) , *Gokuaku Nin*?) is the one hundred and sixteenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro Kamado puts pressure on his blade and attempts to force it through Hantengu’s neck. The Demon continues his high-pitched screeching, but Tanjiro refuses to waver. Suddenly, a dark figure appears behind them, and Tanjiro notices that it does not smell like any of the previous emotion Demons. Opting to ignore it, he keeps trying to behead Hantengu but his sword loses its power from Nezuko Kamado. Genya Shinazugawa aims at the figure behind Tanjiro, but he is unable to shoot without possibly hitting his teammate.

The mysterious Demon hits a drum and a giant, dragon-faced tree immediately sprouts. Nezuko barely manages to jump in and save her brother, losing her leg in the process. She immediately regrows it right before they land but suffers a great loss of energy. As Tanjiro makes sure she is safe, the Demon begins talking and names the negative emotions that individuals who are pure evil emit, specifically those that harm the weak. Infuriated, Tanjiro realizes that there are now six Demons but notices he can’t sense the previous four. Genya witnesses the appearance of the sixth Demon and alarmingly recounts how it used to be the anger Demon, Sekido. However, after Tanjiro struck Hantengu’s neck, Sekido had forcefully absorbed his three counterparts and transformed into the child-like Demon in front of them.

The Demon hits another drum and wraps Hantengu with tree trunks, shielding him. Tanjiro tries to stop him, but he and Genya are both held back at the pure strength of the sixth Demon’s aura, a result of Hantengu’s power growing as his situation worsens. The Demon labels them as ‘evil’ and when Tanjiro demands an explanation as to why, he replies that the label is reserved to those who try to hurt the weak. Furious at his words contradicting the fact that he had eaten hundreds of innocent humans, Tanjiro loudly vows to cut him down.

## A Weakling's Potential

**A Weakling's Potential** (弱 (じゃく) 者 (しゃ) の可 (か) 能 (のう) 性 (せい) , *Jakusha no kanōsei*?) is the one hundred and seventy second chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's *Kimetsu no Yaiba*.

## Summary

Sanemi Shinazugawa is hit by Kokushibo's attack and loses the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Cursing his inability to react to the demon's strike, Sanemi notes that were it not for Gyomei Himejima using his chain to divert the trajectory of the attack, he would have lost both of his arms. He also sees that the smell of his rare blood was beginning to lose it's effect on Kokushibo, ruing that he may quickly become a burden.

A crow flies overhead and Kuina Ubuyashiki asks Kiriya Ubuyashiki if they should send over either of Giyu Tomioka or Tanjiro Kamado to assist the Demon Slayers in defeating Upper Rank 1. However, Kiriya is firm in his belief that Gyomei, Sanemi, Muichiro Tokito and Genya Shinazugawa could defeat the demon and orders for Giyu and Tanjiro to continue onward to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Kokushibo unleashes a **Moon Breathing: Seventh Form - Mirror of Misfortune - Moonlit**  that sends shockwaves at the Demon Slayers from afar. Gyomei is taken aback at the range of the attack as Kokushibo continues to hammer away at the Hashira, this time with a **Moon Breathing: Eighth Form - Moon-Dragon Ringtail** that catches Sanemi's ankle and causes bleeding. Sanemi is frustrated at his inability to get in close to the demon's head, having to use all his skill simply to dodge his attacks as Kokushibo lines up another attack. Performing a **Moon Breathing: Ninth Form - Waning Moonswaths**, Kokushibo causes yet more damage to Sanemi, slashing his back with the attack.

Gyomei yells out to Sanemi but the Wind Hashira says to forget about him as Kokushibo attempts to finish him off with a **Moon Breathing: Tenth Form - Drilling Slashes - Moon Through Bamboo Leaves** but Muichiro saves Sanemi. He says that he would not let Sanemi die as he was still capable of wielding his blade with both arms.

Meanwhile, Genya looks on from behind a pillar, frozen in fear that he would simply be effortlessly dispatched by Kokushibo again. Ruing his weakness but still determined to keep his brother alive and help his friends, Genya stays rooted to the spot, neither making a move to attack Kokushibo nor retreating. He suddenly remembers Tanjiro's words that it was the weakest who had the most potential, when he explained how he had been able to turn the tide against Daki and Gyutaro. He had told Genya that after a certain number of combatants, people would always prioritize the strongest and thus their guard would be thinner against a perceived weaker opponent. Resolving to do his best, Genya takes out a shard of Kokushibo's blade, ready to do his best to defeat the demon.

## Just Overdid It A Little

**Just Overdid It A Little** (ちょっと力 (りき) み過 (す) ぎただけ, *Chotto rikimi sugita dake*?) is the one hundred and sixty fourth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

As Tanjiro sleeps, he smells something burning. He tries to sleep further but realises it is a fire, quickly jolting awake. He sees Giyu prodding his sword through a small fire he built. When asked by Tanjiro, Giyu states his wounds haven't stopped bleeding despite pressure on them, resulting in him burning them, to Tanjiro's disgust. Giyu extended the offer to Tanjiro, noting if the bleeding in his arm doesn't halt, he can burn them as well, to which Tanjiro worriedly agrees. Tanjiro stands upright and holds his sword out to be on guard. Giyu states this fight is only the beginning; the final goal is Muzan, but is worried they may soon face Upper Moon Two or even One. At that moment, a Kasugai Crow announces than Shinobu, Kanao and Inosuke have defeated Upper Moon Two, to the shock of the two Water Breathers. Tanjiro realizes they are getting closer to Muzan.

Meanwhile, Mitsuri has found Nakime, now Upper Moon Four. Obanai realizes the previous one defeated by Muichiro and company has now been replaced. Mitsuri laments that Shinobu risked her life to win, despite being younger than her, giving her the motivation to attack Nakime head-one. The demon summons a door however, slamming Mitsuri away, to her embarrassment. Obanai catches her and takes her to an upper platform to safety, only for the floors to be opened by Nakime, causing both of them to nearly falls. They regroup and Mitsuri tries to strike the demon again. Nakime retaliates by causing the floor Mitsuri is standing on to rocket to the ceiling, resulting in her nearly crushed till she destroys the floor she is on. The Love Hashira claims she won't fall for the trick earlier, nearly hitting Nakime, who subsequently opens another door, causing an annoyed Mitsuri to fall through. Obanai uses **Snake Breathing: Second Form - Venom Fangs of the Narrow Head**, but misses when Nakime summons a building to block his path. To this, he comments that though Nakime's blood demon art isn't deadly, it's by far the most annoying and troublesome.

Gyomei and Muichiro continue through the castle, sensing Muzan is close. Suddenly, a wall compartment pushes Muichiro, seperating the two. He is forced through multiple walls before landing in a room full of numerous pillars. The demon inside notices him and comments he looks rather familiar. Muichiro is shocked; now face to face with Upper Moon One.

## Nightmare on the Night of a Red Moon

**Nightmare on the Night of a Red Moon** (赤 (あか) い月 (つき) 夜 (よ) に見 (み) た悪 (あく) 夢 (む) , *Akai tsukiyo ni mita akumu*?) is the one hundred and seventy fourth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's *Kimetsu no Yaiba*.

## Summary

Genya Shinazugawa's bullets rebound off of Kokushibo' s blade but swerve back to attack him on their own. Shocked at this, Kokushibo looks up at Genya and sees that the boy and his gun have transformed, looking more demonic.

Suddenly, a large tree grows out of the bullets out of Kokushibo rooting him to the ground. Seeing that these are Blood Demon Arts, Kokushibo deduces that Genya absorbed the lock of his hair and the broken bits of his sword to acquire demon powers.

His attention is diverted quickly as Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa lunge at him. This causes him consternation and fear and he thinks back to the last time he had felt so threatened. That had been almost four hundred years ago, when he had faced his younger brother Yoriichi Tsugikuni when the latter had reached his old age.

It had been the night of a blood moon and Kokushibo had encountered his younger brother, who should have been more than eighty years of age at the time. This was incredibly shocking to Kokushibo as those with Demon Slayer Marks did not live beyond the age of twenty-five.

Yoriichi had begun to cry at the sight of his brother and told him it was heart wrenching. Seeing his normally reserved and quiet brother showing some emotion had left Kokushibo bewildered, however, this lasted only for an instant as when Yoriichi grabbed his blade he let off such an aura that Kokushibo was left stunned and afraid.

As he charged Yoriichi was so quick he left a alice through his brother's neck before he could even react. Seeing that his brother had lost none of his strength, Kokushibo had been enraged and his old feelings of jealousy and hatred began to well up inside him.

Kokushibo wanted to kill Yoriichi but knew that he would die with Yoriichi's next attack, as even Muzan Kibutsuji had been pushed to the brink when faced with Yoriichi's skill. However the next attack never came as Yoriichi died standing on his feet.

Chapter 158

**Chaos** (破 (は) 茶 (ちゃ) 滅 (め) 茶 (ちゃ) , *Hachamecha*?) is the one hundred and fifty-eighth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Kanao feels the goosebumps throughout her body aren't stopping. She evens know to put strength into her fingertips to hold her sword, or risk it shaking. She mentions the demons she had faced in the past pale in comparison to Doma, but she is able to face him due to the immense anger she feels, anger so powerful it feels like her body is burning. She feels she must rampage at him or her body would rip itself apart, the dizziness in her head and her anger turning into hatred. She calls that she hates Doma and asks how he could kill her family.

Kanao vanishes and instantly appears before him, using the **Flower Breathing, Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility** to rapidly slash him. Doma comments the consecutive attacks are pretty and retaliates with his **Blood Demon Art: Barren Hanging Garden**. Kanao attacks back with the **Flower Breathing, Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum** to destroy the created ice. Doma notices the key to withstanding his attacks are her eyes. She notices his movements and predicts his next actions in anticipation. Complimenting her as smart and the above-average swordsman, the demon decides the best course of action is to gouge them out. Doma slashes at her face but Kanao bends back, sustaining a small cut on the side of her temple. Using the **Flower Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirling Peach**, she attacks back at the Upper Rank, who compliments her body and flexibility as well-trained and akin to a spring.

Doma deploys his fearsome **Freezing Clouds**, forcing Kanao to close her eyes or risk freezing them. While on the defensive, she is attacked again by Doma using **Blood Demon Art: Lotus Vines**, the ice vines converging on her and forcing Kanao to slice the incoming attack to defend against them. When she is finished cutting them apart, Doma quickly attacks again with his **Blood Demon Art: Cold White Princesses**, two ice figures of women that spray the icy fog in her direction. Kanao again backs away to avoid the fog but must dodge again when Doma unleashes his **Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles** form from above and nearly impale her.

Doma taunts her for getting away from him, mentioning that in order to kill him, she needs to get up close. He disappears for a moment and reappears, clutching her Nichirin Sword, despite Kanao aware and anticipating his next moves. Doma mocks her for not holding onto the sword and sticks it near him. He tells the demon slayer to "come and get it", and deploys his **Blood Demon Art: Scattering Lotuses** in her direction. Kanao forces herself to look through the incoming hail of ice to find the area of minimum damage but sustains multiple cuts to her face.

Suddenly, Inosuke smashes through the roof, announcing, "Out of the sky, Lord-Inosuke's comin' in!", and using **Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting**, he destroys the incoming wave of ice shards, saving Kanao. He thanks the Kasugai Crow for leading him to the right room.

## Rehabilitation Training, Part 2

**Rehabilitation Training, Part 2** (機 (き) 能 (のう) 回 (かい) 復 (ふく) 訓 (くん) 練 (れん) ・後 (こう) 編 (へん) , *Kinō kaifuku kunren・kōhen*?) is the fiftieth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro attempts to constantly use Total Concentration Breathing, but is unable to do so due to intense pain. Determined to succeed, he vows to keep on training hard, and progress little by little. Seeing his determination, Naho Takada, Kiyo Terauchi, and Sumi Nakahara decide to help him out by bringing him food and the training gourds. They explain that when the Hashiras were training Kanao, they had her blow into the gourds in order to improve her breath technique.

Fifteen days later, Tanjiro continues his training, noting his progress and how it adheres to his master's methods. He also apologizes in his mind to Haganezuka for having his blade broken, noting that the swordsmith was working on reforging it. As he tries to refocus on his breath training, the young Demon Slayer is interrupted by Shinobu. After exchanging some pleasantries, Tanjiro asks the Hashira why he and his friends had been taken to the Butterfly Estate. She replies that it was because everyone had acknowledged Nezuko, the fact that they had been severely injured, and that she had wanted to entrust her dream to him: to get along with Demons.

Surprised by this, Tanjiro asks her if she is angry, noting that she always smells like she is. She affirms this, noting that ever since her older sister had been slaughtered by Demons, their actions had only deepened the anger within her. She states that the other Hashiras probably feel similarly, but that nothing will befall Nezuko because of her refusal to eat humans and Kagaya's order. She notes that Tanjiro is much like her deceased sister, explaining that she sympathized with Demons even up to the moment of her death, and that because of this, she had to follow in her footsteps. She then tells Tanjiro to continue to do his best, and to protect Nezuko up to the very end. Determined to do this, the young Demon Hunter continues to train with Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi. Ten days after this, Tanjiro puts his training to the test, managing to shatter one of the large gourds with his breath alone.

Exhilarated by his success, Tanjiro continues the initial training regimen with Kanao, managing to catch her in the chase segment of it and to best her at the reflex training, much to the chagrin of Zenitsu and Inosuke.

## Get it Together, Moron!

**Get it Together, Moron!** (いい加 (か) 減 (げん) にしろ バカタレ, *Īkagen'nishiro Bakatare*?), alternatively titled **Get Your Act Together, Moron!** in the English volume's table of contents, is the one hundred and twenty-fourth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

It starts with Kagaya telling Mitsuri that she is a special person chosen by the gods and she should be proud of her strength. Telling her that whoever talks bad about it is just jealous. Mitsuri sincerely thanks her father and mother, all the Demon Slayers who took her in, all the people she protected, and Obanai for giving her striped socks. She rethinks how she wondered if it was okay to be strong because she was a girl and realizes that she herself suppressed her strength out of fear, she's isn't anymore. She is driven to protect the people.

She cuts through Zohakuten's attack and urges herself to get stronger. Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko start looking for Hantengu's main body while Mitsuri deals with Zohakuten. Zohakuten notices the trio looking for the main body and tries releasing an attack their way, but it's cut down by Mitsuri before it can reach them. Mitsuri is moving faster than before and Zohakuten doesn't know how. He then notices a mark on her clavicle. Zohakuten releases another attack, but Mitsuri easily cuts through it.

Genya, Tanjiro, and Nezuko are fighting a tree that is being controlled by Hantengu and has his real body in it, but they can't cut it when their arms are occupied holding onto the tree. Genya has no choice, but to eat the tree. It is then revealed that Genya cannot use breaths and has the special ability to temporarily inherit the traits of the demon if he eats its flesh. The top part of the tree falls to the ground after Genya eats a lower part of the plant, cutting through the trunk of the tree. Tanjiro then attempts to cut the tree up, but the branches are like whips. Nezuko sets the tree and Tanjiro's sword on fire with her blood and Tanjiro uses **Hinokami Kagura: Flame Waltz** to cut the tree in half to reach the hollow inside where Hantengu's main body is, but he's already gone and is running away in the forest.

Tanjiro screams at the demon that he will make him pay for every sin he has committed. Hantengu remembers the magistrate saying that everything he does is his responsibility, but he believes he hasn't done anything wrong in his entire life. Then Genya throws a tree at him.

## Summary

Sekido berates Aizetsu for his foolishness after Genya Shinazugawa shoots off his head, and the Demon responds by forcibly pulling his spear out of Genya, mortally damaging him. He comments on how the spear lodged in Genya's body had prevented him from dying after it hit his vital points and now he will perish. Ignoring him, Genya quietly chants the Amida Sūtra, which is recognized by Aizetsu. Angered at the delay, Sekido yells at Aizetsu to kill Genya, but the Demon Slayer dodges his spear and attacks Aizetsu from behind with a Nichirin Sword.

However, before Genya can cut off the Demon's head, he gets blasted from Sekido's lightning and becomes incapacitated, though he manages to hit Sekido with a bullet. Aizetsu responds by hitting him with the spear's shaft, knocking him into the wall.

Still struggling against Nezuko Kamado, Karaku gleefully watches his companions fight and then impales Nezuko through the stomach with his foot. He gives instructions to Sekido and pulls Nezuko's arm off, but he receives a hefty kick from her and nearly loses his head. Using her Blood Demon Art, Nezuko proceeds to burn Karaku and pulls herself from his grasp. When Karaku is yelled at by Sekido, she takes his fan and blows him out of the building. She tries to do the same with Sekido, but he sticks his staff through her neck and shocks her with bolts of lightning, paralyzing her.

Back in the forest, Tanjiro Kamado continues fighting against Urogi, who continuously slashes him with his talons. Tanjiro forces himself not to panic and makes it a priority to return to the building, internally telling Genya and Nezuko to keep holding on.

Genya recovers from being hit into the wall and continues muttering the chant. Surprised that he is still alive, Sekido questions him. Smiling, Genya holds up his gun and tells him his name, stating that he will be the one to kill him.

## Undying

**Undying** (不 (ふ) 滅 (めつ) , *Fumetsu*?) is the one hundred and thirty-seventh chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Muzan Kibutsuji, a Demon the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayers have been chasing for a thousand years have finally came. Kagaya who is unable to see because of his illness asked his wife for his descriptions. Muzan, on the other hand, mocked him, as he who they have been chasing showed no sign of aging while Kagaya, on the other hand, is already smelling like a corpse.

It was then revealed that Muzan and Kagaya are from the same family which led to the Ubuyashiki family being cursed where every child born will be weak and die right away. In order for their family to not die out, the Ubuyashiki family dedicated themselves in defeating him and have received wives from the priests for generations which made them resilient but nobody in their family was able to live beyond 30 years of age.

Upon hearing this, Muzan ridiculed him as even with all their efforts and event with the thousands of people killed by Muzan, he has never been punished. Kagaya however questions him about his dreams which made Muzan uncomfortable, he also noticed that there are only 4 humans present in the mansion (Kagaya, his wife and 2 children).

Muzan's dream is to be indestructible and it will come true once he gets his hand on Nezuko. It was then Kagaya's turn to ridicule Muzan in his dream stating that it won't come true and that human thoughts are indestructible. He recalls how the demons hunters still exist for a thousand of years and how Muzan have incurred their wrath further noting that even if he dies, the hunters will not feel pain as they don't need him that much.

The connection to human thought is something demons cannot understand, because they will cease to exist once Muzan dies. Upon hearing this, Muzan became enraged and appeared in front of Kagaya demanding him to shut up in which Kagaya thanked him. The chapter ends with an emergency summon to all the Hashiras and demon hunters because of the attack on the Ubuyashiki estate.

## This Is Bad!

**This Is Bad!** (これはやべぇ, *Kore wa yabē*?) is the thirty-sixth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Having stumbled into a conflict between Rui and Daughter, Tanjiro questions aloud why he is harming his friend. To this, Rui claims they are closer than just a superficial friendship; they are a family and the current matter is only between him and his older sister, threaten to carve up Tanjiro for interrupting.

Tanjiro remarks that all bonds are precious, not just family but even friendships and that not being blood related doesn't make it superficial. He states that while he can smell the scent of a strong bond, all he senses from him and Daughter is the smell of fear, hatred, and loathing, before flatly declaring their bond fake, shocking Daughter and angers Rui.

Entering the situation, a lone Demon Slayer spots Rui and deems him to be an easy kill. As Tanjiro wonders who he is, the swordsman warns him not to take his kill, thinking that slaying the "kid demon" will make his rank and pay go up. He remarks that most of his unit is now dead but slaying one demon should suffice. As he charges towards Rui, Tanjiro warns him to stop but the demon flings a web at him, slicing the Demon Slayer into several pieces.

Tanjiro stares in horror at Rui's swift movements and sees him deadly glaring at him with pure rage, sensing his menacing aura. Rui furiously dares him to repeat his words, worrying Daughter. Tanjiro grips his blade as he realizes that he must defeat Rui before he is able to return to Inosuke's aid, then proceeds to stubbornly repeat that the ties between Rui and Daughter are fake.

Elsewhere on the mountain, Inosuke can be seen hiding behind a tree while trying to formulate a plan to deal with Father. The tree is suddenly smashed with such power that Inosuke is forced to get up and run away, thinking to himself that he has find a solution in order to survive until Tanjiro returns.

Once Inosuke realizes that he's starting to depend on Tanjiro's help, he becomes infuriated with himself and decides to attack Father head on. He tries to slice through the demon's arms, and uses his anger and frustration to successfully cut through. He expresses his excitement and proclaims his newfound strength, while he gloats on his accomplishment he sees Father running away and becomes infuriated by his audacity.

He gives chase and hunts the Spider Demon down to a nearby tree, and witnesses him begin to tremble, thinking that he is doing so out of fear.

## What is Important

**What is Important** (大 (たい) 切 (せつ) なもの, *Taisetsuna mono*?) is the eighty-fourth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

As Daki remains pinned on the ground, she uses her obi to try to free herself from Nezuko's hold. Her obi effectively severs multiple limbs from Nezuko's body but before she gets a chance to scoop them up, Nezuko's severed hand grips onto her obi. Her limbs remain connected by her unusually solidified blood, with some of the blood falling onto Daki. In an instant, Daki is set on fire by the blood causing her to scream out in agony.

Nezuko's limbs wind back to reattach to her body and they self cauterize each cut, she proceeds to forcefully stomp down on Daki's head causing it to erupt in flames. Nezuko continues to stomp multiple times on her head before she kicks forcefully kicks Daki through a nearby building, and into the one behind it. As she follows Daki to continue her assault, Nezuko comes across an injured woman who stares at Nezuko with fear, as she tends to her bleeding wound. Nezuko falls into a trance and charges into the home towards the woman, as she fails to suppress her hunger for blood.

Out of nowhere, Tanjiro jumps on top of Nezuko and uses his blade to act as a muzzle in order to restrain her. He yells at her to fight the hunger and encourages her to be strong, but she lashes out at him and scratches him on the face to try to escape. He apologizes to her for making her fight after smelling the blood that spilled from her injuries, he proceeds to reassure her that her big brother is now there to protect her and that she can now heal herself. Nezuko manages to regain her footing and she jumps through the ceiling with Tanjiro on her back, causing an intense amount of damage to the house. As Tanjiro struggles to restrain his sister, the walls of the room are seemingly slashed as Daki barges into the room with her burned face.

She is seen teething with anger as she is forced to regenerate her burned body, and angrily approaches the siblings. Tanjiro becomes conflicted on what to do as he realizes that there are nearby bystanders he needs to protect, but also needs to defend Daki's attack without releasing Nezuko. As Tanjiro makes his decision to protect the public, Tengen Uzui suddenly appears before him and expresses his surprise at Nezuko's "flashy" demonization.

Tengen goes on to comically berate Tanjiro for speaking highly of Nezuko's ability to restrain herself back at the Ubuyashiki estate, despite him struggling to restrain her now. Daki sees Tengen and excitedly reacts to Hashira arriving before her, but is coldly told to shut up. Tengen tells her to scram and says that she is too weak to be an Upper Rank Demon.

The chapter concludes with Daki's decapitated head falling onto her lap leaving her stunned as to what had just transpired.

**In The Way** (邪 (じゃ) 魔 (ま) , *Jama*?) is the one hundred and seventh chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Genya Shinazugawa shoots both Sekido and Karaku with his Nichirin gun, blasting off Sekido's head and nearly decapitating Karaku. Karaku expresses enjoyment towards the fight as Genya rushes in to slash off his head with a Nichirin Sword. Tanjiro yells at Genya that his attacks were futile and the Demons were willingly being beheaded so they could keep splitting and increase their attack power.

As the battle continues, Tanjiro desperately analyzes his opponents and tries to pinpoint their weaknesses, but his thoughts are interrupted by a third, bird-like Demon, Urogi, who lifts him up into the air with his foot. Realizing that each Demon has a unique ability, Tanjiro instructs Nezuko to assist Genya but, horrified, he realizes that his teammate had been impaled by a fourth Demon, Aizetsu. Urogi taunts him for worrying about others and not himself, proceeding to generate a sonic scream. Tanjiro attempts to counter with Hinokami Kagura and successfully cuts off Urogi's leg, but he is unable to dodge his scream and is violently struck with the attack as he falls.

Tanjiro plummets through the trees and lands hard on the ground. He pleads himself to get up and protect the village, but his injuries render him incapable of easily moving. Aizetsu lands near him and holds his leg down as he directs another shriek, and Tanjiro silently watches in alarm.

Elsewhere, Muichiro dashes through the forest as he makes his way back to the village. He spots Kotetsu trying to hold off a minion fish Demon and internally decides that he is not of priority to save, considering the boy's lack of refined swordsmanship skills and the importance of the village chief.

However, as he hears Kotetsu's cries as the Demon grabs him, Muichiro remembers Tanjiro's words of how helping others would positively benefit himself. He slashes the fish Demon's arm, releasing Kotetsu, and stands guard over the boy while requesting for him to run so he wouldn't be in the way.

**Do Something** (何 (なん) とかして, *Nantoka shite*?) is the ninety-fourth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

At the beginning of the chapter, it is revealed that the Demon siblings were able to keep the Demon Slayers at bay through a hidden ability. During the battle, Gyutaro was controlling his sister and was able to see through her point of view, giving them the advantage. His poison also affected the Demon Slayers greatly, but there was always a member of the team that would slip through, allowing them to continue the fight.

Tanjiro can be seen swinging his blade down onto Gyutaro's neck, despite the Demon's sickle piercing through his jaw. His arm strength isn't enough to slice through his neck so he resorts to forcing his entire body to push through, ignoring the pain. Gyutaro notices the change in Tanjiro's scar as he develops a Demon Slayer Mark and his eyes roll back in his head. The change in his demeanor proves to be too great as Tanjiro's blade cuts through Gyutaro's neck, causing him to panic.

Meanwhile, Daki can be seen resisting Zenitsu's attempt to decapitate her. She attempts to use her obi to kill Zenitsu at close range, but Inosuke unexpectedly rushes up revealing that he protected his heart from being stabbed by rearranging his organs. He also reveals that poison has no effect on him since he was raised on the mountains, before proceeding to assist Zenitsu in decapitating Daki.

The three boys let out a roar as they muster out the strength to slice through the Demons necks. After the long battle, Zenitsu and Inosuke manage to decapitate Daki up on the rooftop while Tanjiro can be seen decapitating Gyutaro simultaneously on the ground. Their heads fall onto the ground and roll around until they end up face to face.

As Gyutaro's body falls onto the ground, Tengen notices something being emitted from it and becomes alarmed. Meanwhile up on a nearby rooftop, Suma, Hinatsuru, and Makio have arrived to witness the end of the battle. As Makio begins to bicker with Suma over her behavior, Hinatsuru notices something is amiss down on the battlefield.

She looks down to see Tanjiro struggling to breathe as he bleeds out from his jaw, while trying to slow down the poison. Tanjiro looks over at Tengen who's sitting down in front of him and yelling at him with a panicked expression. However, Tanjiro fails to comprehend his sudden alarm as Tengen looks at him with horror.

## Human and Demon

**Human and Demon** (人 (にん) 間 (げん) と鬼 (おに) , *Ningen to Oni*?) is the eighty-second chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro’s blade can been seen struggling as it tries to cut through Daki’s obi-like neck. The resisting cloth forces Tanjiro to abandon his attack and escape before Daki has the chance to fight back. However when he tries to recollect his thoughts, Daki charges towards him and tries to slash him. Tanjiro analyzes her movements and has realized that he can see her in slow motion, giving him the advantage. As her wild obi attacks him from multiple directions, Tanjiro manages to pin them all in a single spot and proceeds to charge at her while cutting away at the obi.

His flames burn the obi away, and within seconds he comes in to a close proximity to Daki. However just when he is about to decapitate her, Tanjiro envisions his sister Hanako desperately begging her brother to breathe. In that moment Tanjiro loses his focus and begins gasping for air after nearly passing his physical limitations. He collapses onto the ground, finally feeling the pain that he had been suppressing, and his eyes begin to bleed. It is revealed that he had been acting on anger and had been using his "life force" to surpass his limitations, however his sister was able to warn him before he could sustain any life-threatening damage.

Daki glares down at Tanjiro and berates him for his weakness as a human, she mocks his injuries and slowly approaches him to deliver the final blow. Before she can deliver the attack, a leg comes down and kicks Daki hard behind rupturing her head. Nezuko can be seen boiling with rage as she stands between Tanjiro, whos struggling to breathe on the ground, and Daki. Nezuko recalls the memories of when her family was slaughtered on that snowy night and her rage grows stronger, as she prepares to fight the Upper Rank Demon. Daki's head and face begins to regenerate as she glares holes into Nezuko, she recognizes her as the Demon Muzan Kibutsuji had told her about. Nezuko's face begins to transform as her infinite anger begins to push her forward, leaving the reader wondering what would happen in Nezuko's case, begin a Demon with no physical limitations.
