Demon Slayer Chapter 124

Demon Slayer Chapter 124, titled "Get it Together, Moron!," showcases Mitsuri Kanroji's profound awakening and Genya Shinazugawa's hidden abilities, as the Demon Slayers desperately pursue Hantengu's elusive true body in the Swordsmith Village Arc. The chapter begins with a poignant flashback where Kagaya Ubuyashiki compliments Mitsuri, calling her a special person chosen by the gods and urging her to be proud of her strength, dismissing those who speak ill of it as jealous. Mitsuri sincerely thanks her father and mother, all the Demon Slayers who took her in, everyone she protected, and particularly Obanai Iguro for giving her striped socks. She re-evaluates her past doubts about being strong as a girl, realizing she had suppressed her own strength out of fear, a fear she now sheds. Driven by an unwavering resolve, she commits to protecting the innocent, embracing her full power in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

Mitsuri slices through Zohakuten's relentless attacks, urging herself to become even stronger. Meanwhile, Tanjiro Kamado, Genya Shinazugawa, and Nezuko Kamado begin their desperate search for Hantengu's main body, leaving Mitsuri to engage Zohakuten. Zohakuten notices the trio's pursuit of Hantengu's true form and attempts to unleash an attack in their direction, but Mitsuri swiftly intercepts and cuts it down before it can reach them. Zohakuten is bewildered by Mitsuri's increased speed, which is faster than ever before. He then notices a distinctive mark on her clavicle—the activation of her Demon Slayer Mark. Zohakuten launches another powerful attack, but Mitsuri effortlessly slices through it, demonstrating her enhanced strength and agility. This development reveals Mitsuri's newfound power, making her an even more formidable opponent.

Simultaneously, Genya, Tanjiro, and Nezuko are entangled in a struggle against a massive tree controlled by Hantengu, which contains his real body. They are unable to cut it down as their arms are occupied holding onto the tree to avoid its attacks. In a desperate move, Genya, unable to use breathing techniques, reveals his unique ability to temporarily inherit the traits of a demon by consuming its flesh. He consumes a lower part of the tree, causing the upper section to fall to the ground, effectively severing the tree's trunk. Tanjiro then attempts to cut the tree, but its branches are like formidable whips. Nezuko, with her Blood Demon Art, sets the tree and Tanjiro's sword ablaze, and Tanjiro, harnessing the power of Hinokami Kagura: Flame Waltz, cuts the tree in half to reach its hollow interior where Hantengu's main body should be. However, to their dismay, Hantengu has already escaped and is fleeing through the forest. Tanjiro screams at the demon, vowing to make him pay for every sin he has committed. Hantengu, recalling a magistrate's past words about personal responsibility, defiantly believes he has done nothing wrong in his entire life, clinging to his self-righteous delusion. Just then, Genya, with a surge of demon-like strength, throws a massive tree at Hantengu, hoping to finally end the demon's reign of terror. This dramatic conclusion to Demon Slayer Chapter 124 leaves the Demon Slayers in a relentless pursuit, with Hantengu's true body still at large, promising an intense continuation of the thrilling Swordsmith Village Arc in the Demon Slayer manga.
