We see this key difference highlighted when Gyutaro and Daki reunite in limbo. She’s a demon due to Gyutaro’s influence. Then, Daki was burned alive by a client and Gyutaro marked for death.īut while we learn that Gyutaro would always choose to become a demon in every lifetime, Daki isn’t built the same. Gyutaro was reviled for his appearance, and Daki became a child sex worker. They were born in the poorest section of Yoshiwara. Tanjiro will draw strength from the power of family, and demons have tragic backstories. What Happens to Daki and Gyutaro After They Die? Since Daki and Gyutaro are Upper Rank Six, they’re prime candidates. Part of that deal involves Tanjiro taking blood samples from the Twelve Demon Moons.

A skilled doctor, she agreed to help Tanjiro find a way to restore Nezuko’s humanity. Back in Season 1, Tanjiro met Tamayo, a rogue demon who wants to defeat Muzan. It’s been a while since this plot point has shown up in the anime so here’s a refresher. Why Did Tanjiro Take Sample from the Puddle of Blood? While her Blood Demon Art doesn’t hurt humans, it has proven effective against every demon encountered so far-which says a lot about Nezuko’s monstrous potential as a demon. Earlier this season, we also saw her wield it against Daki, injuring the Upper Rank demon egregiously. And she used it again in the finale-first to neutralize Gyutaro’s post-death attack and then to burn away the traces of his poison in everyone’s bodies. She used it in Demon Slayer: Mugen Train to pull Tanjiro from Enmu’s dream spell. We first saw Nezuko use it during the fight against Rui in Season 1. Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art revolves around conjuring demonic fire from her blood. But Gyutaro’s poison never came up against Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art. Normally, this would be a death sentence. Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Tengen were all wounded by Gyutaro and as a result, all poisoned by him. How Do the Demon Slayers Neutralize Gyutaro’s Poison? It seems like Tengen is about to follow in Rengoku’s footsteps but thanks to a timely intervention by Nezuko, he survives too. The finale begins with Tengen having lost both an eye and a hand, as well as succumbing to the poison coating Gyutaro’s sickles. The Mugen Train Arc did just show us what can happen to a Hashira. Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, and his three wives don’t have the same level of plot armor.

And based on common shonen series tropes, so are Zenitsu and Inosuke because alongside Tanjiro, they make up the cornerstone trio of the ensemble cast.


So is Nezuko, because not only is she Tanjiro’s little sister, she’s the entire reason he became a demon slayer in the first place. Tanjiro is safe because he’s the series protagonist.

Luckily, our heroes succeeded and defeated the sixth-strongest followers of Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, Demon Slayer‘s main antagonist.Īfter Rengoku’s dramatic death in Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, we’ve learned the good guys aren’t guaranteed a long life in this series. Sounds easy in theory, but it proved a tall order for the many demon slayers in the past. In fact, the only way to defeat them was by decapitating the siblings simultaneously. The demon siblings delivered a shocking surprise this season by revealing that the demon slayers’ target wasn’t Daki but rather Daki and her much-stronger older brother, Gyutaro. So let’s look at how Demon Slayer wraps up an excellent second season while setting up future storylines in the finale, “No Matter How Many Lives.” Who Survives the Entertainment District Arc? The ensuing battle featured wonderfully choreographed fight scenes, stellar animation that honestly surpassed that seen in the film, and emotional turning points. Or, as we eventually learned, a pair of demons. Since the first half of the season repackaged material from the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train film, the hype didn’t really kick off until Episode 8, when Tanjiro Kamado and his allies venture into Yoshiwara, Tokyo’s red-light district, to hunt a demon. This Demon Slayer article contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale.ĭemon Slayer just completed Season 2, which consisted of seven episodes covering the Mugen Train Arc and 11 episodes adapting the Entertainment District Arc.
