Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Season 03
S03E11 - A Connected Bond Daybreak and First Light
Tanjiro reaches Hantengu by combining Hinokami Kagura with Thunder Breathing’s technique. As he slashes his neck, Hantengu manifests his resentment, Urami. Genya and Nezuko attack him but he and the siblings falls down a cliff. Using his combined techniques and the ancient sword provided by Muichiro, Tanjiro decapitates Urami. Dawn approaches and he runs to Nezuko to warn her, but she reveals that Urami is still alive, as Hantengu was not beheaded. Day breaks and Nezuko begins to burn. Facing an impossible choice, Tanjiro freezes; Nezuko kicks him away to make the decision for him. He locates Hantengu hiding inside Urami’s heart and slices it apart, exposing him to sunlight; he relives his past as he is decapitated and burns to ash, simultaneously saving Mitsuri when Zohakuten disintegrates. Tanjiro grieves Nezuko’s death but discovers she is no longer burning. Through Hantengu’s memories, Muzan realizes his goal to conquer the sun can be achieved by devouring Nezuko. Once a sickly young man from the Heian period, he was angered by his lack of recovery and killed his doctor, only realizing later that his last treatment had enhanced his physical abilities and saved him, though has left him unable to walk in sunlight. Having failed to find the treatment’s last component, the Blue Spider Lily, he resorted to creating demons in the hopes one could conquer the sun. In the aftermath, Muichiro thanks Tanjiro for helping him regain his identity and Mitsuri embraces them for all surviving. As he leaves the village, the swordsmiths celebrate Tanjiro for saving them.
