Demon Slayer Breaks the Fandom with One Character's Big Arrival

By Kofi Outlaw

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba's Entertainment District Arc continues to thrill anime fans (especially those let down by Season 2's initial Mugen Train Arc redo). The Demon Slayer Corps has flushed out the Upper Rank demon hiding in the Red Light District: Upper Rank Six, Daki. However, Daki has Tanjiro isolated in a pivotal battle, and in Episode 39 "Layered Memories" Tanjiro learns just how deadly an Upper Rank demon truly is. 

(Demon Slayer Episode 39 SPOILERS Follow!) To take down a Daki, Tanjiro taps into the power of the Hinokami Kagura. It's not enough, Daki still thrashes Tanjiro and lays waste to an entire section of the Red Light District. When the Sun Breathing style leaves Tanjiro incapacitated, Nezuko springs from her box, ready to rumble! 

Demon Slayer fans were especially hyped when one key character finally made his full-fledged debut during Tanjiro's battle: Yoriichi Tsugikuni! 

Here Comes The Artwork...

Demon Slayer manga fans don't want to spoil things, but artwork is a pretty safe way to express their excitement without spilling any beans.
