Demon Slayer Chapter 100

Demon Slayer Chapter 100, titled "Go to the Village!", initiates the highly anticipated Swordsmith Village Arc, focusing on Tanjiro Kamado's recovery and the crucial journey to procure a new Nichirin Blade. Two months after the brutal battle in the Entertainment District, a Kakushi named Goto, carrying a plate of castella, discovers a newly awakened Tanjiro in the Butterfly Mansion. His initial relief quickly turns to comedic anger at Kanao Tsuyuri for not alerting anyone, a testament to the emotional relief surrounding Tanjiro's recovery. The joyous reunion with Kiyo, Sumi, Naho, and Aoi is momentarily interrupted by Aoi's comical entrance. Tanjiro learns of Zenitsu's agitated departure for a new mission and Tengen Uzui's retirement as a Hashira, his wives accompanying him despite his severe injuries, leaving the Kakushi both relieved and intimidated. This initial segment establishes the immediate aftermath of the previous arc, highlighting the personal tolls and resilient spirit of the Demon Slayers in the captivating Demon Slayer manga.

Tanjiro's relief is short-lived as Aoi recounts Inosuke Hashibira's near-fatal poisoning and miraculous recovery. To everyone's astonishment, Inosuke dramatically appears crawling upside down on the ceiling, boasting of his early awakening and inherent poison resistance due to his mountain upbringing. Kiyo comically likens Inosuke's unusual resilience to a honey badger, a creature known for its thick hide and immunity to poison, a comparison that perfectly captures Inosuke's wild and untamed nature. Goto's exasperated correction, labelling Inosuke a "moron," sparks a comical brawl, quickly quelled by Aoi. The scene, filled with humor and warmth, underscores the unique bonds formed within the Demon Slayer Corps and their shared resilience in the face of adversity, providing a much-needed moment of levity before the impending challenges of the Demon Slayer manga.

A week later, Tanjiro makes a full recovery, while Inosuke embarks on a new assignment. Tanjiro, needing a new sword, inquires about his blades from Kiyo and Naho, only to learn that his swordsmith, Hotaru Haganezuka, has only sent angry, threatening letters, refusing to forge another sword due to Tanjiro's repeated breakages. Distraught, Tanjiro is encouraged by Kiyo to visit the Swordsmith Village in person. With Kagaya Ubuyashiki's permission, Tanjiro begins his secretive journey. To ensure the village's hidden location remains safe, he is blindfolded, earplugs, and nose plugs, and continuously passed between Kakushi. This elaborate security protocol emphasizes the critical importance of the Swordsmith Village to the Demon Slayer Corps, as Tanjiro, despite his injuries, embarks on a new mission to rearm himself and continue his fight against Muzan and his demons, marking the true beginning of the Swordsmith Village Arc in the thrilling world of the Demon Slayer manga.
