Demon Slayer Chapter 142

Demon Slayer Chapter 142, titled "Inosuke's Fury and Kanao's Resolve," plunges deeper into the brutal battle within the Infinity Castle, focusing on the harrowing aftermath of Shinobu Kocho's sacrifice and the desperate struggle against Upper Rank Two Doma by Inosuke Hashibira and Kanao Tsuyuri. The chapter opens with Doma's gleeful consumption of Shinobu, his regeneration immediately accelerating as he absorbs her body, along with the immense amount of wisteria poison she had accumulated within herself over the years. Doma initially believes he has won, but the poison, now amplified by Shinobu's entire being, begins to take a catastrophic toll on him. He feels his body dissolving from the inside out, his regeneration faltering, a shocking turn of events that underscores Shinobu's cunning and ultimate sacrifice. This grim and visceral scene highlights the extreme measures taken by the Demon Slayers to defeat the Upper Ranks in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

Suddenly, Inosuke Hashibira crashes through the ceiling, enraged by the sight of Doma and the lingering scent of Shinobu. He unleashes a barrage of Beast Breathing techniques, his blades cutting wildly through the air, driven by a primal fury. Doma, weakened by the poison, struggles to defend himself against Inosuke's relentless assault. Inosuke, recognizing Doma as the demon who killed his adoptive mother, a memory that fuels his berserk rage, attempts to decapitate him. However, Doma, even in his weakened state, manages to create ice clones, distracting Inosuke and forcing him to fight multiple adversaries. This desperate struggle between Inosuke's raw power and Doma's insidious Blood Demon Art showcases the immense challenge faced by the Demon Slayers, with the Infinity Castle's constantly shifting environment adding another layer of peril.

As Inosuke fights, Kanao Tsuyuri, having witnessed Shinobu's sacrifice, joins the fray, her resolve hardened by grief and a burning desire for revenge. She utilizes Flower Breathing, Final Form: Equinoctial Red Eye, pushing her visual acuity to its absolute limits, allowing her to perceive Doma's movements with unparalleled clarity. Kanao and Inosuke launch a coordinated attack, aiming for Doma's neck, capitalizing on his weakened state. Doma, realizing the true extent of his predicament, struggles to regenerate, his body violently reacting to the massive dose of wisteria poison. The chapter concludes with Kanao and Inosuke's blades closing in on Doma's neck, their combined strength and unwavering determination poised to deliver the decisive blow, signaling the potential demise of Upper Rank Two and a hard-won victory for the Demon Slayer Corps in the climactic Infinity Castle Arc of the Demon Slayer manga.
