It'd be neat if the author went back and filled out more of the story afterwards like One Punch Man's redraw but I know that poo poo's just not feasible at all. I just hope that once we're done with this the story starts to mellow out and it's just lower stakes demon hunting and interacting with all the people we've met along the way. I mean, we didn't get to know Rengoku and Muichiro for very long so I'd love to hear more about them. Also, holy poo poo, if Tanjirou had understood every lesson his dad tried to teach him he'd be like Helck or something.

I've got a lot of (Dumb) predictions here on how this fight is gonna play out. First thing, at some point Nezuko's gonna show up and get the absolute mess beaten out of her when she does. Whether it's that human transformation medicine weakening her or just that Muzan is too powerful I dunno but she's not gonna do well.

She gets eaten, he celebrates his victory as Tanjirou and the remaining Hashira/Inosuke/Zenitsu all launch an assault on him and eventually as they begin to break down in the process he starts having spasms and suddenly bursts in to flames from Nezuko's Demon Blood Art. My thought is that she's resisted eating/drinking any humans/their blood up till now and the first and, pulling a Genya, the only thing she eats is Muzan.

I do hope that Ufotable pads things out more in the manga like they did with the drum demon shifting the room all over. It kinda feels like muscular Nezuko only occurred at the beginning and then never again. I was really sad that never happened during a fight before she got her oni-horn transformation look.

I mean, I'm new to reading the manga but just in case anyone else didn't know about it, there's a colored version that's also updating since chapter 140.

4 ways this could go, that I can think of.


  • Tanjirou dies, the end.
  • Tanjirou becomes a demon. The second one shown to use breaths no less.
  • Nezuko fights off the demon cure and uses her Blood Demon Art to burn Muzan's blood out of him
  • Nezuko gives Tanjirou a blood transfusion to turn him into the same kind of unique demon offshoot that she is. Complete with Sunlight endurance action!

Y'know, I don't think we've seen a single character in this manga that could use a breath style that wasn't- aside from the first guy who created it and Upper Moon 1 demon- part of Tanjirou's group or a Hashira or former Hashira. No wonder they're doing so well so far.

Chapter 185

I totally forgot that Urokodaki was watching her.

I feel like this manga would've gone wildly different if he'd added in a command to try and remember her humanity or something like that.

Muzan's immediate move to track down Nezuko and begin his attack makes sense but I still would've also enjoyed getting more time seeing Tokito and Genya hanging out with everyone.

Also, stop with the loving near-deaths on Kanroji already, you've already killed Shinobu and Nezuko's barely a character as it is.

I'm down with it. 'How in the world did Tokitou pull this off?' Copy that, and everyone who was there knows that when they collide it spreads so yeah, fair enough. We're only gonna have two Hashiras left after this is all said and done anyway.

It's gonna really stretch my suspension of disbelief if Tanjiro is suddenly able to take on Muzan solo.

Tanjiro's not going to fight him. He'll start using the Breath of Tsugikuni and give Yoriichi a chance to finally right his past mistake in not killing Muzan when he had the chance.

it's enlightenment after dying and being resuscitated, while still being on the verge of death. it's still probably not going to be enough.

Look at this chapter image.



Again, this isn't Tanjirou's fight, it's Yoriichi's rematch. Tanjirou's just channeling his spirit and lending him a body to maneuver.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:

he's only ever recalled his own ancestor's memories. tanjirou might yank some previously unknown fire dance mastery out of his genetic memory, but if so it won't be from yoriichi. tanjirou and yoriichi aren't related, and ghosts haven't appeared as more than a 'hey i'm dead now and here is my dead family so let's go to the afterlife' thing. dude's completely dead, from old age hundreds of years ago. it's an intrinsic part of being human that separates them from the demons.

As busted and poisoned as he is, Tanjirou's still much stronger than he was when him, the squad, Uzui and his wives fought Daki and Gyutaro.

This time, his Unmastered Breath of the Sun Swordsman channelling will be enough to keep Muzan at bay for 7 minutes until Kanao can get the RPG.

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

When she arrives Muzan eats her and thinks he's won because now he's immune to sunlight. Then Nezuko murders him from the inside. :black101:

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.

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.

Also against an opponent it's taken every still-living demon slayer to keep from escaping until dawn, Tanjiro was able to keep him occupied for several minutes by himself.

Hey now, he was doing his best at using the same style as that one guy who instantly sliced through every brain and heart in his body and decapitated him. Plus by the time he showed up all those extra drugs had had way more time to work on him.

Yorichi irreversibly scarred Muzan and made him the paranoid pissbaby he is right now.
Even Old yorichi would have finished the job.

There's no difference between the two of them. Yorichi's power never declined, even as he aged.

Holy poo poo. Like I know it probably wasn't intentional, but I swear that one panel of our good boy with Tomioka felt like a reference to the last part of the "Cell Game" arc



I didn't realize what was happening at first so I thought there were two Tanjirous at first. Giyu had blood on his forehead just like him and everything. It's a good thing that Tanjirou's always in his head talking about what's happening otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it.

Tanjirou's gonna pull through just long enough to hazily comprehend that Nezuko's human again and then promptly die.

It's refreshing to see a popular shonen series that doesn't deliberately drag itself out for 700 chapters. I think it's better to be left wanting more than the alternative, so while I do wish some characters such as the Shinazugawa brothers had a bit more development or screen time, I'm glad we didn't spend literal years having Tanjiro kill a Demon Moon while paired up with a new Pillar every time.

Conversely, I wish it had another 150 chapters so there weren't scenes of Tanjirou talking to Genya about his brother that we didn't get to see for real and also Zenitsu overcoming his greatest flaw. And y'know, Nezuko could maybe do more things since Hantengu as well.

but doing what exactly

unless nezuko fails and the new enemy is evil tanjiro, there's nowhere else to go without basically making a new series or asspulling "and now, america satan!" or something

It'll end just like the anime did.

The next 80 chapters will just be downtime of everyone recovering and doing their best to move forward despite their losses.

And then it'll cliffhanger on everyone learning about the Blue Spider Lilly.

I'm not saying you can't be or you that you should stop.

But no matter how much you hate Zenitsu, you'll never hate him more than he already hates himself and I think that's beautiful.
