I think I will continue
watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
New chapter is up in the usual place.

Goddam I am so happy Nezuko is finally becoming a character with like, actual free will and actualization.

Like I know the amount of poisons that keep popping up straight outta nowhere seem rear end-pully as hell, but afaic, they make sense. I still remember that one chapter/anime episode where our good boy Tanjirou is able to pick up how Shinobu straight up smells like she's a barely contained ball of rage. So both Shinobu and Lady Tamayo hating the everloving poo poo of Muzan and taking painstaking details to gently caress him up something good with drugs + poison it just seems sensible from that point of view.

Also thanks to the dub and to Kyle McCarley's above-average performance as an even snottier Yushiro, I can't stop calling her Lady Tamayo. :3:

Shinobu and Tamayo are two most badassed characters in this manga, so natch, yeah.

tamayo's been plotting for a century while hiding from muzan. she made an adorable demon cat with an antidote-launching backpack! after that, i can buy any crazy poo poo she pulls so long as it dicks over muzan in some way.

I'm still shocked that it came down to Tanjiro and Iguro of all people to hold him off for this long.

For a sappier happy ending, she can pull Lady Tamayo's cells out of him as well and Yushiro can hide her while she regenerates. Because it's getting dangerously close to daylight for the two of them.

Is Nezuko still even a demon at this point? Her claws and fangs are gone.

It wouldn't be as satisfying a death as some others but the most fitting end for Muzan would probably be eating part of Nezuko and escaping into the sunlight thinking he's won only to begin aging rapidly and realizing that rather than becoming immune to sunlight as a demon he simply reverted to a human and lost his immortality. Just as his hasty anger cost him access to the Blue Spider Lily, his hasty desperation costs him his life.

if nezuko's role in this final battle is having no powers and just running on-screen to cheer tanjiro on/have a piece eaten/distracting muzan i'm going from putting KnY in the trash to tossing out the entire gotouge

Manatee Cannon

I would honestly be surprised if she didn't just get absorbed by muzan or something tbh. like the sun's almost up, tanjiro's still holding muzan at bay, the poison's stopping him from escaping, the hashira are alive and prob gonna rejoin the fight... it's going too well at this point and they don't need nezuko's help

she won't die but I just don't see why she needs to be there unless something bad happens

Evrart Claire

She's going to start to be absorbed by Muzan but it will turn out that despite progressively getting more human right now, she still has her blood art, and while partially absorbed ignites Muzan's blood, keeping him from escaping during the final seconds before dawn.

I think this is so Muzan can possibly get a leg up at the last moment, then Nezuko gets her shots in on Muzan too.

Tanjirou didn't learn how to use a sword by just watching though. Just the fire dance. He practiced for two years solid to learn how to sword fight.

I definitely agree that Nezuko is there to be partially absorbed, but stave off Muzan enough to activate her fire power so she and Tanjirou can deliver the final blow together.

The one thing we know Nezuko's going to do is cure Tanjiro, because that growth's been aiming at consuming his left eye as well for a while now.

basically, i just want nezuko to actively contribute somehow. getting eaten, cheering from the sidelines or only being a liability all seem more likely, though. i guess kny has been lovely about nezuko for so long that i don't expect it to stop now.

Manatee Cannon

nezuko will contribute something but it will prob be after she gets eaten imo

the not getting eaten alternative here is that nezuko arrives on the scene, muzan is like hell yea I'm saved, but then finds out that nezuko isn't a demon anymore and that's what conquering the sun actually does to demons. but I'm pretty sure he's cell and nezuko's android 18 in this scenario

While this has nothing to do with what's going on. Here are Muzan's feelings about his Best Demons.

Databook posted:

Kokushibo: Business partner. No real affection.

Douma: Doesn't really like him.

Akaza: A favorite since he is loyal and serious.

Hantengu: Ordinary. He's annoying sometimes but tolerable.

Gyokko: His favorite. Gyokko's pots are rather beautiful. They sell for a high price.

Gyuutaro: A favorite. Muzan highly values his circumstance and greedy personality.

Daki: Not a smart child.

Nakime: A favorite since her ability is useful.

Even Muzan thinking that Douma loving sucks is great.

Actually, Douma is the only one of the Upper Moons that he dislikes outright; the rest are positive or neutral, and besides thinking Daki is an idiot the worst is finding one guy annoying but bearable. That's fantastic; no one likes that rear end in a top hat.

Muzan might favor certain demons but in the end they're all pawns to him.
