Demon Slayer Chapter 202

Demon Slayer Chapter 202, titled "Let's Go Home," intensifies the tragic battle to reclaim Tanjiro Kamado's humanity as he fully succumbs to Muzan's demonic will. The chapter opens with a heart-wrenching scene as Nezuko Kamado, now human, bravely embraces her demon-transformed brother. Despite Tanjiro sinking his fangs and claws into her, he hesitates to drink her blood, indicating a flicker of his former self. Nezuko, in tears, desperately apologizes for his suffering and urges him to resist the demonic transformation, begging him to "come home."

Inosuke Hashibira and Zenitsu Agatsuma rush to Nezuko's aid, attempting to snap Tanjiro out of his feral state. Zenitsu reminds him of Nezuko's humanity, while Inosuke repeatedly strikes Tanjiro, insisting that his friend would never harm his sister. Enraged, Tanjiro unleashes a shockwave, sending his friends flying, and sprouts bone whips from his back, reminiscent of Muzan's powers. Giyu Tomioka intervenes, narrowly saving Zenitsu from a lethal whip attack, and grimly realizes that Tanjiro, having tasted blood, is now an unstoppable demon, immune to red blades and even sunlight.

Nezuko, displaying immense courage, physically blocks a powerful energy blast from Tanjiro's mouth, sustaining severe injuries but redirecting the attack. Giyu observes that Tanjiro consistently avoids inflicting fatal damage on Nezuko, suggesting a hidden struggle within him. Meanwhile, Yushiro watches helplessly, lamenting Muzan's lingering torment. The chapter culminates with the dramatic arrival of Kanao Tsuyuri, limping towards the scene with a vial of Tamayo's demon-curing medicine, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming despair. Her resolve to administer the cure, even at great personal risk, sets the stage for a desperate attempt to restore Tanjiro.
