Demon Slayer Chapter 203

Demon Slayer Chapter 203, titled "Voices of Encouragement," delves deep into Tanjiro Kamado's subconscious as he battles Muzan Kibutsuji's lingering influence to reclaim his humanity. Nezuko Kamado's tearful pleas reach Tanjiro's inner self, where he expresses his exhaustion and desire to return home. Inside, Muzan, through flesh growths on Tanjiro's body, attempts to dissuade him, questioning his return to a family that is gone and urging him to embrace immortality as a demon.

Tanjiro firmly rejects Muzan's manipulations, asserting that his happy memories with his family endure as long as he and Nezuko are alive. Despite Muzan's lies about Tanjiro harming Nezuko and his friends hating him, Tanjiro remains unpersuaded, declaring his intention to apologize to everyone. His deceased friends, including the fallen Hashiras, provide symbolic encouragement, pushing him forward. Muzan, growing increasingly frustrated, tries to tempt Tanjiro with eternal life, reminding him of his Demon Slayer Mark's curse and the brevity of human life. However, Tanjiro steadfastly refuses, reiterating his desire to live as a human with his friends.

As Tanjiro grapples with Muzan, he feels the presence of wisteria flowers and reaches out to Nezuko, whose outstretched arms pull him towards humanity. Muzan makes a desperate last attempt to drag Tanjiro back, claiming they have conquered the sun together and that the dead resent Tanjiro for moving on. Tanjiro vehemently ref驳斥了这一说法，坚信他的朋友们是无私的。最终，在祢豆子、富冈义勇、善逸和伊之助以及更多无形之手的共同努力下，炭治郎摆脱了无惨的束缚。他苏醒过来，发现祢豆子含泪看着他，周围是他的朋友和隐部队成员。他向所有人道歉，而伊之助和善逸则喜极而泣，宣告他们的胜利。
