**Thank You, Tokito** (時 (とき) 透 (とう) 君 (くん) ありがとう, *Tokitō-kun Arigatō*?) is the one hundred and eighth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Muichiro slashes the fish Demon and decapitates it, but it regenerates. He tries breaking the pot stationed on the Demon's back and subsequently makes it disintegrate. The Hashira then realizes the pot was the source of power for the Demon, likely the result of a Blood Demon Art. As he continues to think, a crying Kotetsu ambushes him with a hug and thanks him for saving him while also apologizing for calling him names earlier.

The Hashira tells Kotetsu to leave as he has to make it back to the village. Kotetsu begs him not to go since Kozo Kanamori and Hotaru Haganezuka were under attack while Hotaru was finishing a blade. Muichiro tries to turn down his request, but he hesitates when he hears Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice in his head, who tells him to rediscover himself. Surprised at the pause, Muichiro thinks back to when he had gotten amnesia after being saved by Kagaya, who had told him not to worry about the memory loss and that the mist in his head will eventually clear out with matters that may seem unimportant at first.

Convinced, Muichiro carries Kotetsu with him as they search for Kozo. As they continue through the forest, Muichiro begins to doubt if he was doing the right thing as the village was still in danger. However, he pushes the thought away and reminds himself that he is the Mist Hashira acknowledged by his master.

In the forest near the edge of the village, Tanjiro dodges an attack from Urogi by slicing his head, splitting him into two more Demons. The pair of Demons generate more sonic screams and direct them at Tanjiro, but the Demon Slayer is able to withstand them and observes that Hantengu is most powerful at four separate Demons that represent the four primary emotions; any more splitting would decrease their attack strength. With this information, Tanjiro continues to attack Urogi and is slashed across the chest with the Demon's sharp claws, but manages to land multiple blows on his head.

Back in the building, Nezuko struggles against Karaku. Sekido impatiently asks for his partner to defeat her and Aizetsu volunteers to land the final blow. However, as Aizetsu attempts to pull his spear out of Genya, the Demon Slayer points his gun at him and blasts off his head.

Chapter 10

## Kidnapper's Bog

**Kidnapper's Bog** (人 (ひと) 攫 (さら) い沼 (ぬま) , *Hitosarai-numa*?) is the tenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

As Tanjiro embarks on his mission as an officiated Demon Slayer, he remembers information provided to him by Sakonji. Nichirin Swords change color according to their users, but so little is known about swordsmen with black blades, it is believed they don't progress far. His uniform is made of a special breathable fabric that is waterproof and fire-resistant, as well as strong enough to repel the claws and teeth of a weak demon. Before leaving, he is given a new box by Sakonji for carrying Nezuko during the day, made with lighter stronger wood and lacquer for durability. He also mentions his idea that perhaps Nezuko sleeps to gain strength as an alternative to eating humans.

As he walks through the town assigned as his mission, he notices a dishevelled man in the crowd. The man, Kazumi, is pitied by the folk as he was with the latest victim, Satoko, when she disappeared. Tanjiro questions him and Kazumi takes the Demon Slayer to where she vanished. Though he believes the boy will dissuade him, Tanjiro fully supports his idea that she disappeared and kneels to the ground, detecting the faint scent of a demon. Watching him investigate, Kazumi remembers when he had told Satoko's parents of what had happened, and her father had beaten him for blaming her going missing as her simply vanishing.

As night approaches, a girl inside her house prepares to go to sleep. Lying in her futon, she sadly wonders on the whereabouts of the missing girls and hopes they are alright. Suddenly, her bedroom floor transforms into a dark puddle and demonic arms grab her from beneath; the girl is unable to scream and is dragged into the dark.

Tanjiro suddenly runs away, causing Kazumi to follow him, stating that the scent is now stronger and that a demon is nearby by. He leaps up onto the rooftops to get a better view of the town and a stunned Kazumi realizes that the rumors of demons and the Demon Slayers are true. He gets down and, detecting where the scent is strongest, stabs his blade into the ground, causing murky water to spurt out. He sees something and grabs the girl, pulling her away from the demon.

From the puddle emerges a horned demon, causing Tanjiro to realize that it possess a Blood Demon Art, remembering Sakonji's advice that they are supernatural abilities belonging to certain demons. He questions the demon about the missing girls but it instead grinds its teeth in anger and disappears. Entrusting the girl to Kazumi, he senses the scent approaching but is shocked to see three demons. Thinking quickly, he uses **Water Breathing, Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin**, hitting all three targets at once.

Chapter 79

## Air Hole

**Air Hole** (風 (かざ) 穴 (あな) , *Kazaana*?) is the seventy-ninth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Inosuke begins his assault against the Obi by slicing sections of it while simultaneously insulting it. The women who were held captive begin to slip out from the sections, causing the obi to panic at the situation. The obi analyzes Inosuke's natural abilities and has trouble formulating a plan, however Daki's conscious takes control, and she orders the obi to capture him alive. As Inosuke prepares to slice another section, the obi suddenly becomes more elastic, and folds along Inosuke's blade.

Before the obi can attack him, Inosuke gains the upper hand by maneuvering to perform **Beast Breathing, Sixth Fang: Palisade Bite**, however the obi manages to distract him. The obi mentions Inosuke's failure at protecting the individuals he's freed, claiming that it can easily just swallow them up again. It proceeds to move towards the unconscious individuals, however a Kunai flies in out of nowhere, causing the obi to retract.

Two women appear holding Kunai and agree with Inosuke's description of the "worm-like" obi, and begin to attack it. They explain to Inosuke that they're there to help him and will protect the others from the obi. Inosuke reluctantly agrees but asks them who they are, to which they reveal they're Tengen's missing wives, Suma and Makio.

Makio begins to scold Suma who sulks after revealing she was the first one who was captured, she also begins to cry as she realizes that they can't help everyone and are most likely going to die. The obi seems pleased by Suma's pessimistic attitude and questions who it should eat first, but before it can get the chance to attack, Zenitsu quickly attacks the obi. Amazed by his skill, Inosuke comments that he probably shouldn't wake Zenitsu up and Suma and Makio question his identity.

The obi is left amazed by Zenitsu's speed but tries to understand the sounds it heard, it specifically mentions that there were two sounds like thunder. One sound came from Zenitsu, but when the obi finally recognizes the source of the second sound, the ceiling explodes and breaks down.

Suma looks up into the distance and a silhouette can be seen from the individual who dropped into the hole. Tengen brandishes his blades as he takes a deep breath, and within seconds, slashes the obi within his vicinity. Makio turns around and calls out to Tengen, who apologizes for taking too long. The chapter concludes with Tengen promising that things are "about to get real flashy."

Blue Spider Lily

* Anime
* Manga

The **Blue Spider Lily** (青 (あお) い彼 (ひ) 岸 (がん) 花 (ばな) , *Aoi Higanbana*?) is a mythical flower. It is an important ingredient of a medicine for Muzan Kibutsuji's treatment and the reason he turned into a demon.

## Overview

The Blue Spider Lily is a mythical and enigmatic flower that is described to be a spider lily that is blue in color instead of red. The flower only blooms at daytime for two to three days a year, after which it closes back up, resembling a large horsetail weed. In some cases, depending on the climate, the Blue Spider Lily doesn't even bloom at all. This explains why Muzan Kibutsuji never found it despite searching all over Japan for centuries: he was hindered by his inability to go out during the day.

This flower has medicinal properties, being used to cure Muzan of an unknown illness that would've caused him to die before turning 20, albeit the medicine was in its experimental stage and thus extremely difficult to replicate. The Blue Spider Lily medicine was also the cause behind Muzan's demonification, granting him a strong body and changing his blood to have transformative properties, enabling Muzan to create more of his kind as well as hold dominion over them. However, this medicine also had the side effect of causing Muzan to disintegrate into ash if he was exposed to sunlight as well as a craving for human flesh. It is also implied that the Blue Spider Lily can nullify a demon's weakness to the sun if it’s consumed, which is the reason Muzan was spending centuries searching for the flower.

## Trivia

* Kie Kamado knew where the Blue Spider Lilies bloomed, and showed them to Tanjiro Kamado when he was very young. This is why he was vaguely able to briefly recall them when his life was flashing before his eyes during the battle against Rui.
* The flower doesn't bloom every year and did so only for a very limited time. Out of the six siblings, Tanjiro was the only one to witness them.
* The Blue Spider Lilies bloomed in the same spot where Yoriichi Tsugikuni buried his wife Uta.
* The Blue Spider Lily is a flower that does not exist in reality. However, the Red Spider Lily is an important flower in Japanese folklore, believing to guide the dead to their next reincarnation. They are also believed to grow upon the shore of the Sanzu River, the river of the dead in Japanese folklore, and all who die must traverse the width of it. It is possible the author intends for the Blue Spider Lily to represent the antithesis of the Red Spider Lily (salvation), which would be damnation.

Aoi Kanzaki/Relationships

## Relationships

### Tanjiro Kamado

Aoi and Tanjiro seem to have formed a friendship. Tanjiro respects Aoi for her help and care while he, Inosuke, and Zenitsu resided at the Mansion. He also thanks her for her work and assistance, which she seems to appreciate. He intervenes for her when she was being kidnapped by Tengen, and defends her when Tengen says she isn't useful by saying that everyone has their own circumstances. When Tanjiro leaves the Butterfly Mansion, Aoi says she enjoyed their time together.

### Kanao Tsuyuri

How close they are is somewhat uncertain, but the two get along and seem to have a somewhat sisterly relationship. Kanao attempts to stop Tengen from taking Aoi with him at a time when it was highly unusual for Kanao to make her own decisions or go against her orders. As seen in the novel, Aoi previously thought of Kanao as difficult to deal with, since she never showed her own emotions. She also felt inferior to Kanao, since Kanao could fight demons and Aoi could not. However, once Kanao starts to open up and make her own decisions, Aoi and her begin to grow closer.

### Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu is Aoi's mentor in the field of medicine and likely oversaw some or all of her demon hunter training as well. Aoi thinks highly of Shinobu, like all the other butterfly girls. Shinobu cares for Aoi and feels sympathy for how her family was killed by demons. She also seems to feel some anger on Aoi's behalf, remarking that none of the butterfly girl's families would have been killed if it weren't for Demons during her fight with Doma.

### Inosuke Hashibira

They met each other, for the first time, at the Butterfly Mansion. At the beginning, he struggles to beat Aoi in all of the tasks due to not having a strong will. Later on, he is finally able to adapt and beat her. In comparison with Zenitsu and Tanjiro, he was more harsh against her. He was one of the slayers who volunteer in Aoi's place to go to the mission to Yoshiwara with Tengen. After the fight against Upper Rank 6, he's carried one more time to the Butterfly Mansion. Aoi is visibly sad about Inosuke's terrible condition, since he had poison through his body and she thought it was too late to stop the bleeding.

Her tears were quickly dispelled however, as he drops off the ceiling. She starts to see him as a pain and starts to argue with Inosuke again. At the Butterfly Mansion after the final battle, he goes out of Tanjiro's room and heads to the kitchen to get some food. He tries to steal food behind Aoi's back, but she notices him. She hands him over a rounded tray of food that is made only for Inosuke and tells him that he can eat how much and whenever he wants from that tray. After this gesture, Inosuke visibly starts to see her in a good light. Eventually, she and Inosuke Hashibira marry and have a great-grandson named Aoba Hashibira.

## Visitor

**Visitor** (来 (らい) 訪 (ほう) 者 (しゃ) , *Raihōsha*?) is the one hundred and thirty-first chapter of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro thinks about Giyu's feelings, noting that it must hurt when someone is so important to you that you wish you could die in their place. He begins to remember about Sabito and Makomo, who had trained him even though they were supposedly dead. As he compares himself to Sabito, Tanjiro admires him for being able to protect and save everyone else at Final Selection, while Tanjiro himself could not, and he remarks that Sabito would have become a formidable swordsman had he survived, as another reason that made Giyu feel his own death would be a good thing as he believes that he should be dead instead of Sabito. Tanjiro, understanding his emotions, remembers Kyojuro, who had also lost his life to protect him. In his mind, Tanjiro too believes that the Flame Hashira could have become capable enough to defeat Muzan and that he wishes he could die in his place. He eventually decides to ask Giyu a question regarding whether he wants to exploit what Sabito entrusted to him. As he is surprised by Tanjiro's question, the important memories begin to come back to Giyu.

The Water Hashira recalls his past, with Sabito slapping him and telling him to stop saying he'd better die. Sabito went on and insisted that Giyu had to live so as not to disrespect his sister, who had lost her life protecting him from a Demon. Back to the present, in his mind, Giyu apologizes to both Sabito and his sister for being immature. As Tanjiro is observing a silent Giyu, he believes he made a mistake for asking the earlier question and comes up with an idea that having an eating contest may solve the issue. After finally deciding to train with Tanjiro, Giyu turns around and before his words could reach him, he is suggested to have an eating contest, much to his confusion. But Giyu is now fully committed to joining the Hashira Training.

Meanwhile, Shinobu seems distressed and has Kanao sit with her as she explains that she cannot participate in the Hashira Training, but also how to defeat the demon that killed her sister, Kanae Kocho.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sends a crow to invite Tamayo to come to the Demon Slayers Headquarters to work together to defeat Muzan.

**Sneaking Around** (あばら屋 (や) でこそこそ, *Abaraya de Kosokoso*?) is the one hundred and tenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro Kamado continues fighting against Urogi and considers using the Demon's flight ability to exit the forest and return to Nezuko Kamado and Genya Shinazugawa in the village. Finalizing his plan, Tanjiro stabs the Demon in the mouth when he picks him up and uses the force to smash into the building's exterior wall, cracking it and falling in.

Tanjiro picks himself in time to see Sekido paralyzing Nezuko. When he dashes to save her, Sekido generates another staff and tries to hit Tanjiro, but the boy uses Urogi's foot to defend himself and prevent the lightning from reaching him. He then slices the Demon's head and tongue, stalling some time for him to pull the staff out of Nezuko's neck.

Suddenly, Tanjiro gets slammed down on the ground with the second staff and is about to receive a shock of lightning, but Nezuko recovers in time to burn Sekido and prevent him from hurting him. Relieved that Nezuko's Blood Demon Art is effective, he looks up in time to see Karaku soar through the air and hit the building's floor with enough pressure to bore a hole through it and render Tanjiro and Nezuko unconscious. Urogi, Karaku, and Sekido then regroup and gaze over their opponents, planning on dealing the final blow.

In the depths of the forest, Muichiro Tokito defeats a fish Demon and saves Kozo Kanamori, who is happy to see him and Kotetsu safe. After the reunion, Muichiro requests for Kozo to provide him with his fixed blade to replace the chipped one he is currently using. Kozo agrees that Muichiro needs a new blade and mentions that it was Tanjiro who asked him to fix the old blade.

He leads the Mist Hashira and Kotetsu to the shed where Hotaru Haganezuka is currently working and expresses gratefulness that there weren't any fish Demons nearby. Kozo explains that he has a sword for Muichiro in the shed and after he receives it, he should immediately head back to the village to protect the chief. Muichiro denies this proposal and pulls Kozo back when he tries to advance towards the shed. He tells him he senses something and sees a pot rattle. Gyokko, the Upper Rank 5, comes out and identifies Muichiro as a Hashira for realizing he was there and faces the trio.

## The Mu of Muichiro

* Chapter Cover
* Twitter Icon

**The Mu of Muichiro** (無 (む) 一 (いち) 郎 (ろう) の無 (む) , *Muichirō no Mu*?) is the one hundred and eighteenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

As he escapes the prison, Muichiro Tokito realizes that Tanjiro Kamado's eyes are the same shade of red as his father's. Muichiro pulls out the needles numbing his face and begins regaining more of his memories, remembering that his father was a woodcutter. Kagaya Ubuyashiki's soothing words enter his mind and he sorrowfully thinks about his master's disease as he crawls to Kotetsu, cutting apart the fish Demon that had attacked him. Muichiro's memory progression continues as he recalls his mother's death from illness and his father's death from falling off a cliff. When he tries to speak with Kotetsu, Muichiro suddenly remembers about his older brother, Yuichiro Tokito, his twin and sole companion after their parents' death when they were ten.

Thinking back to his past, Muichiro recalls Yuichiro's blunt personality after they were orphaned and how he ridiculed their father for trying to save their mother, a man who had died when aiming to help others. Crying, Muichiro unsuccessfully attempted to get Yuichiro to stop insulting their father and instead received insults from him regarding the first character in his name, "**Mu**" (無, ***"**Mu**"***?), which could be interpreted as "nothingness." The twins continued to live together despite their strained relationship, which Muichiro had attributed to his older brother potentially despising him.

After surviving on their own for a while, the siblings were visited by Kagaya's wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, who had told them about their swordsmen heritage. Angered by her presence, Yuichiro drove her away and intensely berated Muichiro after he had expressed his interest in becoming a swordsman, straining their relationship to the point of forfeiting any communication between them.

One summer night, a Demon entered the twins' home, cutting off Yuichiro's left arm and insulting the siblings' lack of worth, angering Muichiro to the point of releasing explosive rage. The boy managed to pin the Demon and crush it, watching it disintegrate as the sun rose. Crawling back to Yuichiro, Muichiro witnessed his brother's final words begging the gods to spare Muichiro as he was a good person that desired to help others, unlike himself. As Muichiro held his brother's hand, he told him that the "**mu**" (無, ***"**mu**"***?) in his name was actually meant to represent the "mu" in "**infinity**" (無限, *mugen*?).

Finally recovering his memories, Muichiro awakens his true strength and gains mist-like markings over his face as he powerfully grips his blade.

Blood Demon Art

**Blood Demon Arts** (血 (けっ) 鬼 (き) 術 (じゅつ) , *Kekkijutsu*?) are specialized supernatural abilities possessed by higher-level demons.

## Overview

Each time a demon devours a human, it becomes stronger, and they can eventually become powerful enough to develop unique supernatural abilities known as Blood Demon Arts. Blood Demon Arts are different from demon to demon, with every power seemingly based on a central theme (i.e. martial arts, sleep, the sea). Most, if not all, Blood Demon Arts are based on a demon's past, personality, ideals, interests, and/or occupation. Moreover, Blood Demon Arts may not have a singular usage, and instead grant multiple abilities under the same concept or theme. As suggested by its name, all supernatural phenomena and effects use their wielders' blood as a medium to manifest themselves in reality. Essentially, Blood Demon Arts are blood magic.

The abilities and effects granted through Blood Demon Arts can vary greatly. Some can be combat-orientated (i.e. creating dozens of blades) or more supplementary and practical (i.e. controlling a fortress, manifesting illusions). Others are more simple and recognizable (i.e. manipulating electricity and ice), while others still are more complex and unorthodox (i.e. creating invisible arrows that control a person's vector, controlling one's biology), thus making the abilities of demon-kind extremely versatile and powerful.

It is implied that Blood Demon Arts can be shared, as seen with Rui being able to share his spider-themed Blood Demon Art with demons in his "family", granting them Blood Demon Arts (as well as characteristics) based on spiders.

Blood Demon Arts are not to be confused with other supernatural abilities possessed by demons including but not limited to their Regeneration, Flesh Manipulation, Extrasensory Perception, and absorption abilities.

### Weaknesses

A universal weakness to Blood Demon Arts is that they are susceptible to both sunlight and Nichirin weapons, meaning that they will disintegrate or be dispelled when exposed to sunlight or cut with a Nichirin Sword, possibly attributed to the fact that each ability and technique is created from a demon's flesh and blood.

Another weakness is related to the demon's blood, where if in some situation where their body's blood gets depleted, they will be unable to use their Blood Demon Arts. This is evident in Kokushibo being unable to unleash any crescent moon blades when Genya Shinazugawa's blood-sucking trees were holding the Upper Rank down.

## Transitions

**Transitions** (遷 (せん) 移 (い) 変 (へん) 転 (てん) , *Sen'i Henten*?) is the one hundred and twelfth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

A swordsmith rings the village's alarm to announce the arrival of the fish Demons and instructs the civilians to defend themselves, right before being consumed by a Demon. Elsewhere in the village, a group of swordsmiths try to defend themselves as a fish Demon approaches them. Mitsuri Kanroji arrives and slashes the Demon, killing it. She apologizes for her late arrival and heads towards the chief's residence.

At Tecchin's location, a swordsmith tries to save him from being crushed by a fish Demon, but his injuries render him unable to move. Mitsuri appears before him and instructs him to stay still to prevent his injuries from becoming worse. The Love Hashira then attacks with **Love Breathing, First Form: Shivers of First Love**, slicing the Demon and making it release the chief. After defeating it, Mitsuri angrily mutters how those who hurt others will never make her heart throb.

As Tecchin falls from the Demon's grasp, she manages to catch him before he hits the ground. Crying, she begs him to wake up and, after a few coughs, he comments on how he was caught by someone cute. Relieved to see that he was alright, Mitsuri quickly goes to help the others that were wounded.

Tanjiro Kamado suddenly wakes up to hear the voices of Hantengu's various forms. He looks to see Nezuko Kamado carrying him through the building as she dodges bolts of lightning, and Tanjiro remembers they were previously knocked unconscious. They get hit with a shock of lightning and Tanjiro defends Nezuko and himself from Urogi's swoop, running out of the room. Sekido yells at Karaku for being too slow and tells him to use his uchiwa fan and destroy the building, to which he complies.

The pressure from Karaku's fan attack makes the building collapse with Nezuko caught under the debris. She grasps on Tanjiro's blade, making herself bleed while Tanjiro begs her to let go and that he will find a way to move the rubble. She refuses to stop holding the blade and uses her Blood Demon Art to set it on fire. Tanjiro notices the blade burning from the heat, and is shocked to see it change color from black to red as it gets enveloped in flames.

Chapter 88

## How to Defeat Them

**How to Defeat Them** (倒 (たお) し方 (かた) , *Taoshikata*?) is the eighty-eighth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Makio and Suma can be seen frantically trying trying to evacuate the citizens of the district as the battle resumes against the Demons. Gyutaro tries to discourage and the three new arrivals and manages to intimidate Tanjiro, however Tengen Uzui comes up behind them and proudly announces that they're going to win. As Daki finishes reattaching her head, she loudly doubts his words by saying that they can't win since the Hashira has been poisoned.

Unfazed, Tengen once again proudly announces their intent to win and speaks highly of the three boys. Looking back at him, Tanjiro sees the persona of Kyojuro Rengoku emitting from Tengen as he speaks which excites Inosuke.

Gyutaro and Daki get riled up and reveal that they've eaten 15 and 7 Hashira respectively, and begin to attack the group. As Daki attempts to attack Tengen and Tanjiro from behind, Zenitsu bursts through the home within seconds to block the attack as Inosuke follows him. Now on the rooftop, Daki finally recognizes Zenitsu from the Kyogoku House and he demandingly commands her to apologize to the girl whom he had found crying earlier. She mocks his speech by revealing that women are treated like merchandise within the district and as the orian, she was allowed to do as she pleased with other people since she was the main breadwinner of the house. When she looks up at Zenitsu, a third eye appears on Daki's forehead revealing that Gyutaro can see them via her new eye.

Back in the brothel, Tanjiro becomes intimidated by Gyutaro's evil aura but formulates a plan to counter his attacks and protect Tengen. However, the Demon manages to rush towards Tanjiro within an instant and catch him off guard, narrowly piercing him through his jaw. Before he can do so, Tengen grabs Tanjiro by the nape of his clothes and throws him to safety before engaging in battle with Gyutaro.

As he crash lands and looks back to see the two fighting, Tanjiro senses an ominous object approaching them from above, and Daki's obi can be seen crashing down all around them. On the rooftop, Daki can be heard cackling as she admits she is now displaying her full strength since Gyutaro is awake and allowing her to used his enhanced senses. Zenitsu and Inosuke can be seen covered in cuts and wounds as they prepare to engage with Daki in battle. The chapter concludes with Gyutaro disregarding Tengen's claims of the boys being Tsuguko, undermining their capabilities as swordsmen.

## Grateful

**Grateful** (感 (かん) 謝 (しゃ) する, *Kansha suru*?) is the ninetieth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

The kunai darts which were utilized by Hinatsuru were revealed to be coated in a poison which would generally paralyze a Demon for half a day, or possibly immobilize a Lower Rank. She can be seen on a nearby rooftop pleading for the poison to work for even just a moment, as the Demon Slayers attempt to decapitate Gyutaro. However at that moment, Gyutaro manages to regenerate his legs and proceeds to attack them at a close vicinity.

He uses his **Blood Demon Art, Rotating Circular Slashes: Flying Blood Scythes** to emit numerous blood slashes to attack them. Before they can reach him, Tengen Uzui grabs hold of Tanjiro and throws him back to protect him from the attack. Within seconds, Tengen uses **Sound Breathing, Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes** to deflect Gyutaro's attack but finds that he has disappeared from sight. To his horror, he looks up to the roof, only to see that Gyutaro has managed to capture Hinatsuru and is about to kill her.

Tengen tries to save her however Daki's obi blocks him from reaching her. He thinks back to a moment in the past when Hinatsuru had asked to retire from the Corps following their mission, specifically remembering her asking to not harbor any regrets if any of them were to die. Back in the present, Tengen yells at Gyutaro to stop as he tries to push through. Tanjiro comes close to the building and tries to use the Hinokami Kagura to reach her however his body refuses to listen to him. Tanjiro quickly changes tactics and uses a form of the Water Breathing to quickly save Hinatsuru from Gyutaro.

Realizing that he managed to save Hinatsuru, Tanjiro decides to utilize both the Water Breathing as well as the Hinokami Kagura in order to increase his attacking power. Gyutaro is left surprised by Tanjiro's unexpected maneuver and charges at him. However at that moment, Tengen comes behind Gyutaro and swings his blade at Gyutaro's neck while openly yelling that he owes Tanjiro.

Chapter 125

## Dawn Approaches

**Dawn Approaches** (迫 (せま) る夜 (よ) 明 (あ) け, *Semaru yoake*?) is the one hundred and twenty-fifth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

The chapter begins with Nezuko and Tanjiro ducking as Genya angrily rips out a tree from the roots and throws it at Hantengu. Despite ripping out numerous trees, each one fails to accurately hit Hantengu, Nezuko then emerges and attempts to quickly swipe at Hantengu, but he evades her and quickly speeds off.

Thinking of what to do, Tanjiro recalls a conversation he had with Zenitsu regarding Total Concentration. He circulates air throughout the fibers in his muscles and the blood in his veins and is able to quickly blast towards Hantengu in an instant.

As Tanjiro tries to behead him, Hantengu rhetorically asks him if Tanjiro feels bad for him and then suddenly grows in size and chokes Tanjiro while Genya and Nezuko rush in and try to help Tanjiro, Genya tries to pull Tanjiro free while Nezuko leaps into the air and uses her Blood Demon Art, Genya manages to rip Hantengu's arms off but panics about getting burned as he ate demon flesh. Hantengu, Nezuko, and Tanjiro fall over a cliff.

While Nezuko lays motionless next to him, Hantengu, armless with Tanjiro's sword stuck in his neck, gets up, stating that his regeneration is slowing down because he's used up too much power and needs to consume more human flesh, which he senses nearby. Tanjiro, who has fallen on a branch along the ledge above him, exclaims he will not allow Hantengu to escape and he will chase him "down to the depths of hell." While going towards some nearby villagers, Hantengu comments that Nezuko was the worst nuisance of the three.

Tanjiro falls off of the branch, and begins to give chase, thinking to use the technique he used previously to quickly blast towards and initially catch up to Hantengu. As he is running towards Hantengu, the sword Hotaru Haganezuka had been sharpening was thrown and suddenly landed in front of him while Muichiro Tokito yells from the ledge to use the sword, all while Hotaru screams his objections about the sword still being unfinished and Kozo Kanamori attempting to hold him back. Tanjiro thanks Tokito, grabs the sword, and activates Sun Breathing enveloping the sword in flames, and beheads Hantengu using the move Waltz Flash to catch up and decapitate him.

## No Matter How Many Lives, Part 2

* Twitter Icon

**No Matter How Many Lives, Part 2** (何 (なん) 度 (ど) 生 (う) まれ変 (か) わっても(後 (こう) 編 (へん) ), *Nando Umarekawatte mo (Kōhen)*?) is the ninety-seventh chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Gyutaro muses how Daki could have been if he had raised her differently, before taking note of his surroundings. A younger looking Daki appeared behind him, disgusted with their current location and wondering where the exit was. The emaciated man ordered her not to follow him anymore, getting angry when she wouldn't comply. A tearful Daki apologized for her earlier cruel insults, stating that it was because she had not wanted to accept that it was her fault that they had lost. When Gyutaro still refused to let her come with him, Daki tackled him from behind, stubbornly refusing to ever let go, vowing to always be his little sister no matter how often they are reborn, and reminding him of the promise they had made long ago to always stay together. Finally accepting her company, Gyutaro carries his sister into the fire that awaits them.

In the world of the living, Tanjiro and Nezuko watch as the last of the Demon siblings dissolves into the air. Tanjiro wonders if they made up, which Nezuko affirms. Elsewhere, Obanai Iguro attempts to praise Tengen for his defeat of Upper Rank 6, but is disappointed that he beat such a low ranking member of the Twelve Kizuki, as well as lost his left arm and eye. Tengen states his intention to retire as a Hashira, but Obanai refuses to accept this, as there is already a vacant Hashira position and the lower ranks of the Demon Slayer Corps keep on dying without improving. Tengen disagrees with this last point, stating that Tanjiro is definitely improving, while Obanai is surprised he survived the fight.

Elsewhere, Kagaya Ubuyashiki learns of the group's victory and is elated, but is stricken by complications from his illness. He states that this victory will have massive consequences, enough to ensure Muzan Kibutsuji's defeat within their generation, and then collapses into a bout of coughing. At the Infinity Castle, Akaza ponders how his summoning must mean a member of the Upper Ranks has been defeated.

Chapter 47

## Hmph!

**Hmph!** (プイ, *Pui*?) is the forty-seventh chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Obanai reminds Sanemi that the Demon won't come out in the sunlight, so he quickly moves into the building behind his leader. He draws his sword, prompting Tanjiro to attempt to come to his sister's aid, only to be pinned to the ground by Obanai.

Sanemi stabs Nezuko's box multiple times, prompting her to leave it. Seeing the Hashira's wounded arm, she is transfixed by the sight of his blood. Obanai is then told to lessen his hold of Tanjiro, but refuses. Shinobu warns Tanjiro not to use any of his breath techniques, as his lungs are under pressure and thus his blood vessels might burst from the stress. As the other Hashira react to this, Tanjiro begins struggling in earnest. Before anything escalates any further, Giyu Tomioka grabs Obanai's arm, releasing Tanjiro from his clutches.

The worried Demon Slayer calls out to his sister. Distracted from the temptation before her, Nezuko remembers her order not to hurt humans, as well as her family. With much effort, she turns away from a shocked Sanemi, prompting Kagaya to ask what had transpired. Hearing of Nezuko's perseverance from one of his aides, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps says that this is proof of the girl's loyalty. He then warns Tanjiro that not everyone will agree with his decision, and that he will have to prove Nezuko's usefulness to their order, suggesting he start by defeating one of the Twelve Kizuki.

Encouraged by his leader's words, Tanjiro vows that he and his sister will defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, but is told that he cannot in his current state, and should focus on the Twelve Kizuki instead. Kagaya then tells his young subordinate about the Hashira and their dedication to the cause, and that is this dedication that makes them worthy of Tanjiro's respect, and that he should be careful of the way he addresses them. Kagaya then reprimands Obanai and Sanemi, and informs everybody present that the issue of Tanjiro and Nezuko is over, and that the Hashira Meeting can finally begin.
