Demon Slayer Chapter 76

Demon Slayer Chapter 76, titled "In Various Places," dynamically follows the scattered Demon Slayers as they confront the escalating demonic threat in the Entertainment District. Inosuke Hashibira, impatient and eager for action at the Ogimoto House, grows frustrated by Tanjiro's delay. Taking matters into his own hands, he bursts through the ceiling, summoning his Nichirin blades via Tengen's trained "ninju" mice, showcasing the eccentric yet effective methods employed by the Sound Hashira. This scene highlights Inosuke's raw, unbridled power and his impulsive nature, a stark contrast to the more methodical approaches of his companions. His swift departure in pursuit of demons leaves a terrified staff member in his wake, further emphasizing the chaotic impact of the Demon Slayers' presence in the district. This segment provides a compelling insight into the individualistic fighting style that Inosuke brings to the Demon Slayer Corps, as he single-mindedly charges into danger.

Meanwhile, Tengen Uzui, the flamboyant Sound Hashira, relentlessly presses his investigation at the Kyogoku House. Confronting Omitsu's anxious husband, Tengen uses intimidation to extract vital information about the whereabouts of his wives, Hinatsuru and Zenko (Zenitsu in disguise). The terrified man reveals Zenko's disappearance and Hinatsuru's transfer to a lower-end brothel due to illness, fueling Tengen's suspicions. Through a harrowing confession, the man identifies Warabihime (Daki) as the source of the house's troubles, pinpointing her "north room where sunlight never falls." Tengen's swift departure to search for Hinatsuru, coupled with his vow to personally defeat the demon, underscores his unwavering dedication as a Hashira. This intense interrogation scene highlights Tengen's formidable presence and his deep commitment to his mission and his wives in the gripping narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

The chapter culminates in a thrilling confrontation as Tanjiro Kamado discovers Daki attempting to abduct Koinatsu at the Tokito House. Daki, dismissive of Tanjiro as "dirty and old" and only interested in a Hashira for her meal, provokes his fierce protective instincts. Tanjiro's demands for Koinatsu's release infuriate Daki, who brutally hurls him from the building, demonstrating her immense speed and power. Despite being stunned, Tanjiro quickly regains his composure, recognizing the unique and terrifying ability of Daki's obi to absorb people. With the knowledge that Nezuko is nearby, but safe, Tanjiro unleashes his Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide, Turbulent, executing a precise aerial attack that severs the portion of Daki's obi holding Koinatsu captive. The chapter ends on a chilling note as Daki, initially disdainful, observes Tanjiro's resilience and acknowledges his "demeanor," comparing him to a "dying rat" yet finding a twisted pleasure in his defiance. This sets the stage for a monumental battle between Tanjiro and the Upper Rank demon, promising an intense continuation of the Demon Slayer saga.
