I can't understand shit lol but I'm so happy we get to see more of Koku's backstory. From the spoilers I've read, this chapter pretty much confirms Dance of the Fire God is indeed the Breath of the Sun. Apparently, Muzan got so scared of Yoriichi that they hunted down all Sun Breath users. In order to preserve the technique, they hid it as Dance of the Fire God and taught it to a random stranger so it can be used in the future to kill Muzan. Remember how Yoriichi said that destiny will always find its way? It did and now the technique has been passed to Tanjiro.

Muichiro..... I'm still pained seeing his half body in the ground. The suspense is killing me. I really want Genya to live. He can't die this fucking early when he didn't even got a resolution with his brother. He also has a lot of potential.

Daki and Gyuutarou's precious family are each other.
Kaigaku doesn't have anyone he loves and pretty much hates their master.
Douma can't feel a thing and never had anyone precious to him.
Hantegu also doesn't have anyone precious to him.
Yeah, it's a shame we never knew anything about Gyokko.
Yoriichi is still full of mysteries so they're probably saving him up for later.

True I guess koku should be able too see his bro in afterlife. If that was the case.

This apply to good guys as well if they die

If Tanjiro dies he see his entire family

Giyu dies he see tsutako,Sabito and his family

Kanao dies she see kouchou sisters.

Zenitsu dies he see his master.

Awesome chapter 10 out of 10 you let Jealousy and envy consume you Koku. While his reasons aren t exactly justifying and reasonable. I can relate with him and I hope he make peace with Yoriichi in after life

I guess Koku and Akaza can meet in hell tell each other How they let uncontrollable emotion of despair and jealousy turn them into a monster. In the end they both regret everything.

Yoriichi was very abnormal compare to everyone and very very gifted. Koku shouldn t compare himself to his bro.

Dance of fire god and breath of the sun are the same after all.

well I guess Akaza cemented as my most favourite demon in demon slayers. Now unless Nakime turn to have also very interesting backstory

Now its either Giyu and Tanjiro vs Muzan or Nakime vs Love and snake pillar next chapter

We will get confirmation on Genya and Tokitou status next chapter most likely.

Maybe Muzan use Koku as hostage, like if Yoriichi kill him then Koku will die too since he now a demon. Koku demonization may have happen before Muzan faced yoriichi.

you know what, the demons does evil and do bad stuff. but you know, they are strangely down to earth reasoning, blinded by jealousy, throw everything.

you know, it could be you, it could be people around you.

I love the fact that every demon moon had an incredible backstory and motivation to them. I can't bring myself to hate any of them, on the contrary I sympathize with most of them.
This chapter was a great addition to Kokushibo's backstory, and the flute at the end was a really nice touch.
Guess we're nearing the end of the story with just one UM left. I wonder if the manga would wrap up around 200~210 chapters. It should still provide enough for two more seasons after the movie.

RIP Upper Moon 1. I didn't expect him to start crying after seeing the flute or that he would start crying himself.

He wasn't my favourite character but I still really liked his backstory.

Kokushibou's backstory is the best demon's backstory up until now to me, period.

This was very emotional, especially when the flute appeared. This story was really touching.

Farewell, Upper Moon 1. Apart from his backstory, his death was confirmed in this chapter.

(btw. Muzan looked really elegant on that roof ;p )

Kokushibo was jealous about his brother, his death was meh, but yoriichi.. What a brutal death, it was obvious he would let Kokushibo kill him, nobody never defeated him even muzan couldn't. Also his flute made me cry like a baby, this is it..what a good brother.

I still don't feel sorry for this demon at all.

I can't believe he abandoned his entire family to pursue jealousy.

I still want to learn so much more about his brother though.

I got this feeling that Yoriichi always knew about Kokushibo's jealousy. I remember the scene when they were still kids. He told him: Brother, is your dream to be the strongest samurai in the land? At that moment, it was implied that Yoriichi can read people's feelings. Just like Himejima who senses too much for a blind person. And let's not forget! Yoriichi used to always hold his mother to support her when she walks. He was way ahead of them to know that their mother was sick.

This goes to show that Yoriichi really loved his brother. And he disregarded his brother's contempt and jealousy for him. When I saw the flute on his pouch, as well as how UM1 kept it thereupon; and after all these years was heart-rending.😭😭😫

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

So it's confirmed. Tanjiro's Dance of the Fire God is indeed the very first breathing technique, the Sun Breathing.

No one could learn Sun Breath other than Yoriichi so derivatives were created.

Koku left his family and humanity to gain nothing and still was inferior to Yoriichi.

Sun Breath was disguised as Dance of the Fire God so that new gen sun breath users wouldn't be slaughtered and they could hone their skills.

Yoriichi still kept the flute after 60 years!

Koku took the flute and kept it even after becoming a demon!
