Demon Slayer Chapter 158

Demon Slayer Chapter 158, titled "Chaos," plunges into the brutal and emotionally charged battle between Kanao Tsuyuri and Upper Rank Two, Doma, culminating in the explosive arrival of Inosuke Hashibira. Kanao, filled with an intense, burning anger that threatens to tear her body apart, notes that all previous demons she's faced are mere infants compared to Doma. Despite the dizziness and the overwhelming hatred, she resolves to rampage against him, asking how he could have killed her family. Kanao vanishes and reappears instantly, unleashing Flower Breathing, Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility, a rapid succession of slashes. Doma, commenting on the prettiness of her attacks, retaliates with his Blood Demon Art: Barren Hanging Garden. Kanao counters with Flower Breathing, Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum, destroying the ice constructs. Doma notices that Kanao's eyes are key to her ability to withstand his attacks, as she accurately predicts his movements, highlighting her exceptional perception in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

Doma compliments Kanao's intelligence and her above-average swordsmanship, then coldly decides that the best course of action is to gouge out her eyes. He slashes at her face, but Kanao bends backward, sustaining a small cut on her temple. She retaliates with Flower Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirling Peach, attacking the Upper Rank, who again compliments her well-trained and flexible body. Doma then deploys his fearsome Freezing Clouds, forcing Kanao to close her eyes to avoid freezing them. While on the defensive, she is attacked by Doma's Blood Demon Art: Lotus Vines, the ice vines converging on her. Kanao slices through the incoming attack, but Doma swiftly follows with Blood Demon Art: Cold White Princesses, two ice figures that spray icy fog in her direction. Kanao narrowly avoids the fog but is forced to dodge again when Doma unleashes Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles from above, nearly impaling her.

Doma taunts Kanao for maintaining distance, reminding her that she needs to get close to kill him. He vanishes and reappears, clutching her Nichirin Sword, despite Kanao's awareness and anticipation. Doma mocks her inability to hold onto her weapon, sticking it nearby and inviting her to "come and get it." He then unleashes Blood Demon Art: Scattering Lotuses in her direction. Kanao forces herself to look through the hail of ice, finding an area of minimum damage, but still sustains multiple cuts to her face. Inosuke Hashibira suddenly smashes through the roof, dramatically announcing, "Out of the sky, Lord-Inosuke's comin' in!" Using Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting, he destroys the incoming ice shards, saving Kanao and thanking his Kasugai Crow for leading him to the right room. Inosuke's explosive entrance injects a much-needed element of chaos and unexpected power into the dire confrontation, setting the stage for a tag-team battle against the ruthless Upper Rank Two in the climactic Infinity Castle Arc of the Demon Slayer manga.
