Demon Slayer Chapter 195

Demon Slayer Chapter 195, titled "Bewilderment," witnesses Muzan Kibutsuji's desperate attempt to flee the rising sun, the unexpected restoration of Obanai Iguro's vision, and the dramatic arrival of Nezuko Kamado, intensifying the climax of the Sunrise Countdown Arc. Muzan reminisces about his first encounter with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, recalling his initial underestimation of the swordsman, only to be left with cellular-level wounds that mimic sun damage. He labels Yoriichi the true monster, never anticipating such a devastating attack. Tanjiro Kamado, rallying his strength, exploits Muzan's exhaustion and the reappearing burn scars, which he deduces mark Muzan's hearts and brains, allowing him to target them even without Transparent World vision. He plans to give Obanai one of Yushiro's seals to help his visual impairment, just as a crow announces only 40 minutes until dawn.

Upon hearing the countdown, Muzan, abandoning the fight, desperately dashes away to escape the impending sunlight. Tanjiro shouts a warning to Obanai, who, recalling Muzan's primal instinct for survival, understands the demon's flight. As Muzan puts more distance between himself and the Demon Slayers, trampling over fallen comrades, Tanjiro, infuriated, hurls all their swords at Muzan. Muzan, realizing piercing attacks are more detrimental than slashes in his current state, slices through them with concern. His escape is abruptly halted when Obanai drops from above, stabbing him through the chest before swiftly retreating from Muzan's whips. Tanjiro, using Sun Breathing to defend Obanai, inadvertently discards Yushiro's seals. He shouts for Obanai to retrieve them, relieved as Kaburamaru snatches them in mid-air and Obanai secures one.

With his vision significantly improved by the seal, Obanai attacks Muzan more effectively, causing the demon to pant from exertion. Muzan grows truly concerned as his strength wanes, just as Nezuko Kamado reaches the outskirts of the battle, with one of her eyes miraculously reverting to its human form. This crucial development signals a turning point in the final, desperate struggle against Muzan Kibutsuji, as Nezuko's return could hold the key to victory in the climactic Sunrise Countdown Arc of the Demon Slayer manga.
