Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Season 01
S01E16 - Letting Someone Else Go First
Murata stays to hold off the controlled Demon Slayers, while Tanjiro and Inosuke venture further, where they find the remaining puppets, some of whom are still alive. “Mother”, who controls them, is threatened by her son, Rui, into killing them quickly or face reprimand. Tanjiro and Inosuke discover how to stop the webs but Mother kills them all regardless. They push on but face her strongest puppet: a large, bladed, headless demon, which they successfully kill by coordinating their breathing together. Inosuke then throws Tanjiro into the air where he spots Mother and descends to kill her. Realizing she would be freed from the abuse she has been suffering, she surrenders. Tanjiro opts to use the gentlest Water Breathing form and give her peace. As thanks for blessing her final moments, she warns Tanjiro that a member of the Twelve Kizuki is on the mountain.
