Where Sound Unleashes Imagination

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Season 01

S01E20 - Pretend Family

An exhausted Tanjiro tries to reach Nezuko but discovers Rui had beheaded himself, avoiding death. He prepares to kill Tanjiro once more but is intercepted by Giyu. Despite using his strongest threads, he is defeated by Giyu’s own Water Breathing form and beheaded. Daughter flees the forest and remembers when she was found by Rui; he had already recruited others into his family, assigning them different roles, but they were tormented by his twisted view of a family. Daughter encounters Murata and traps him in an acidic cocoon. She is then found by Shinobu, who pretends to befriend her but only after punishing her for her murders. Unable to behead demons, she wields a special sword laced with wisteria-based poison. She kills Daughter and frees Murata. Seeing Tanjiro hugging Nezuko, Rui remembers he originally created his family to feel a familial bond.
