| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Well to be expected Tokitou and Genya die. They fought well their sacrifice is neccesary. Well I really want too see more koku backstory not sure If they will. Seem like Genya, koku and Mist is dead for sure now. Koku took out one pillars and one pseudo demon while the other moon could only take out one. Akaza could kill Tanjirou and Giyu If he didn t kill himself possibly more pillars after that |

| What the actual fuck? Even Genya died? I’m so sad. His entire character is heartbreaking honestly. He was misunderstood as the aggresive-type of character from the beginning, but once we got to know more of him, he has been such a good companion to Tanjirou and others. And when he was finally be able to show off his power and make up with his brother Sanemi, he dies. WHAT THE FUCK? He had grown on me A LOT. He’s such a tragic character to my eyes And well, Muichirou’s death was to be expected Ffs Gotouge Anyway, outstanding chapter. |
| Looks like he can still regenerate his head just like muzan and akaza but eh he's dead now thanks to tokito's sword (i assume) RIP kokushibo, tokito, genya, and possibly himejima too. I wonder who's next, iguro maybe? That would be a surprise, Just like rengoku, died in his first Uppermoons fight lol. |
 |
| i refuse to believe that tokito is dead... sometimes i do think that the crocodile's sensei kills these characters too fast. tokito is reasonable cuz we have seen his backstory and i somehow can see how he changes a little bit. but genya? i mean we know his backstory already but still not really get into or know his character development at all. the way he kills the characters too fast before the readers get into the characters or know them more is disturbing me a lot. |

| So apart from Muzan only the biwa demon is still alive and I suppose the two pillars will defeat her. We are getting close to the end people!

| About this chapter. From the raw, you see he look at the sword and saw "how ugly he became" ... And i think he just wanted to die ... So it's why he didn't regenerate his head and his corpse. |
 |
| damn, RIP tokitou and genya... |
 |
| fantastic,amazing,outstanding chapter this series have the potential to become my favorite battle shonen ever,fucking sanemi crying,koku seeing the beast he become in the blade,one of the best chapter of the manga,behold the potential of the humans,they don't have limits,this manga is too good. rip tokito and genya. |

| English is out, this is indeed an amazing chapter. And kokushibo is such a good character. Hebi_op said: lol no douma didnt do better than UM1. Douma died and only able to take shinobu with him, and he failed to kill kanao and inosuke in a 1 vs 2 fight which is dumb as fuck . While UM1 fought against 3 strongest pillars with a mark, and 1 marked half-demon (genya) and with that he got 1vs4'd by them yet he still able to take genya and tokito with him.I'm kinda disappointed by the first upper moon. Not his backstory, just him as an Upper moon. I guess Akaza and Douma did much better. |
|
| i prefer koku over akaza and douma,he has better development. |

I don't think i ever talked about how many pillars or people did you kill. I'm talking about everything in general,fights, characters ecc. I mean, otherwise why would i give Douma some props when he killed my favorite character in the manga (even if Shinobu basically killed himself tho..)? And maybe i was exaggerating with the word "disappointed". I just expected something more from the UM1 i guess. no Douma didnt do Better UM1. UM1 did better in fight thats a fact. The fact he took out Tokitou and Genya Is better than Douma. Who out of top three moon fail the worst. Akaza would kill both Tanjirou and Giyu but his humanity save those two. |

|
| Don't know how to feel about that tbh xd I kinda like how the characters actually die here and not come back to life as in your average shounen adventure.. But it happens so fast :c Demon's deaths are always so emotional.. Except for 4th and 5th lol |

| in the end, he does not become the very thing he wanted to do, be strongest swordsman in the pillar so his little brother can pride has such older brother. instead, he become ugly, pathetic and desperate. nightcrawlercyp said: no guarantee since there is 0 source saying we are in the final arc.So apart from Muzan only the biwa demon is still alive and I suppose the two pillars will defeat her.

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| All in all, this is pretty good, though I'm left wondering how things are going to turn out with Muzan. I really don't know if this is the point to end things, but it really feels like it's being set up as the end. I wonder what route this'll take, him dying or him escaping followed by a timeskip or something else entirely. |
 |
| The only reason I believe this might not be the final arc is because if Muzan dies here the demon slaying corps will no longer need to exist and our main trio would never become Hashira. |
Kuroneko said: The only reason I believe this might not be the final arc is because if Muzan dies here the demon slaying corps will no longer need to exist and our main trio would never become Hashira. I guess technically they don't have to and it's not like I'd be upset if they didn't, but it just seems like something you'd expect to happen at some point. Kanao as well I guess. |
KuronekoSep 29, 2019 8:58 AM
| damn its almost confirmed that Mist Pillar will die as expected and even Genya too because his demon form is fading away and i love the dialogue of Upper Moon One on this chapter ye he became evil and ugly just to be strong like his brother but he failed and his brother said "im sorry bro" damn lol what a pitiful end guess thats what extreme envy will bring you rest in pieces Upper Moon One |

We are getting close to the end people! I think there was a source saying this. That being said what can Muzan do? He is fighting against time. Sunrise is close, the cure of Nezuko is almost done and he is also fighting the cure in his system. Without his moons he will have to start all over again even if he escapes. But it took hundreds of years to create the upper moons, he does not have that time now. So his only hope is to achieve sunlight resistance or at least eliminate the entire demon corps this night. So is clear is the final arc. Kuroneko said: The only reason I believe this might not be the final arc is because if Muzan dies here the demon slaying corps will no longer need to exist and our main trio would never become Hashira. Just because Muzan dies does not mean the other demons he created automatically die. About not having a need to exist, so what? they can live their lives in peace. They can become normal... or at least as normal as ubermensche can be JolteonRL said: Does anyone know where can I read the translated manga?

| Finally dead. Got a glimpse of his past too. |
 |
| thinking more now Upper Moon One died in a funny way he realize he is too ugly now that he lost his will to live lol (but ye he really meant he is too ugly inside too and not just outside) |
| Muichiro was an obvious one since last chapter but holy shit... not Genya too. I can't believe this. I was so sure Sanemi was the one dying for Genya's development but it looks like it's going to be the other way around. Still holding out for a glimmer of hope for Genya though. He has a lot of potential as a character. He doesn't have to go like this. I also wanna know where they got the guns lol. Kokushibou is one interesting guy. Hopefully, we get to know more and more of his backstory. I want to know more of the original breath users. It looks like Koku can also regenerate his head but Muichiro's sword seems to have some effect on him. Hopefully, it gets explained later. Kanroji and Iguro vs Biwa lady next. We're getting really close to the climax. I seriously hope this isn't the last arc. I couldn't see any official news of it being the last but I would be extremely disappointed if it was. There are still many questions left unanswered. |

Tohsaka_Rukia said: It looks like Koku can also regenerate his head but Muichiro's sword seems to have some effect on him. Hopefully, it gets explained later. isnt it already explained? the red/fire sword chapter that is similarly pulled off when Tanjiro and Nezuko's blood demon art combined their powers and there was a flashback of Muzan memories by the an upper moon there that the fire sword almost killed Muzan so its safe to say the fire sword is like a poison to demons abilities like regeneration and unable to use blood demon art |
| I'm sad, disappointed and glad at the same time. Sad because Genya and Tokito died, disappointed because UM1 never met Tanjiro (woulda been a nice touch if they met and he see's a legit Sun user with his younger brother's earrings before going) and glad that he's most likely done after this chapter. Gotta say Akaza remains one of the most impactful UM battles among the others, his backstory and how he got introduced was amazing compared to the others. |
  |
| I was almost certain that Kokushibo would commit seppuku after admitting his defeat. I guess it could still happen in the next chapter but so far it looks like he's just going to crumble away. |
deg said: I agree. My point is that if he would have reached Kokushibo level of sensing the opponent he would have been unbeatable. Also as a side note so far only him and Kokushibo were able to regenerate their heads. And unlike him Kokushibo did a crappy job. If Akuza would not have gave up he would have been undefeatable I think.nightcrawlercyp said: He attacked on pure instinct.

The sun breath power has a completely destructive effect on demons basically disabling any demon part it comes in contact.Just as the special blades disable the regeneration powers of demons so does the sun breath but more effectively. Both Nezuko powers and the marked demon slayers powers stem from this. Is very poetic in a way. The sun can kill all life but for most is a source of life, warmth and prosperity. You will see that most demons when they get killed by the sun are happy, content and at peace. |

OppaiLover-_- said: Is genya actually dead though? I mean he had gotten to the point of being able to hear Muzan's thoughts so maybe he'll be able to regenerate from this, his head wasn't cut off after all. We don't know for certain, but it seems pretty likely. Kokushibou said that he was dead, and his demon form would soon run out, obviously he can't be 100% sure but that's all we have to go on right now. |

Werent for holding that back He would have been higher in power. Akaza is best of upper moons for me. I hope Nakime have also at least interesting backstory and motivation. Not sure if this is it for Koku. |
| ohhh, now he’s realizing everything he had done over the past century. getting defeated is one way to put down your ego |

I wonder what Nakime backstory and motivations are or she turn into another Gyokko and Enmu no backstory or explanation on their motivies. |
| akaza backstory is very good but it's too exaggerated,this feels more real. |
nanashi796 said: akaza backstory is very good but it's too exaggerated,this feels more real. Yeah I feel the same here. Akaza back story is too over dramatic. |
Gorochu said: nanashi796 said: akaza backstory is very good but it's too exaggerated,this feels more real. Yeah I feel the same here. Akaza back story is too over dramatic. In my personal opinion it was done well and very impactful. I don t think it was over dramatic. It so sad over 100 anime I watch Its one of few anime characters I have hard time reading his backstory. Because it was so heartwrenching. Creator done really well on his characters and execution was perfect. |
