Demon Slayer Chapter 77

Demon Slayer Chapter 77, titled "Roar," marks a series of pivotal advancements in the Demon Slayer Corps' fight against Daki in the Entertainment District Arc. The chapter opens with Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, attending to his wife, Hinatsuru, who apologizes for her perceived failure in the mission. A flashback reveals Hinatsuru's initial investigation in the Kyogoku House, where she correctly identified Warabihime as the demon but was forced to feign illness by consuming poison to avoid suspicion. Daki, in turn, gave Hinatsuru an obi, intending for it to spy on and ultimately kill her. Tengen, however, reassures his wife, commending her efforts and revealing a defeated obi in the background, signifying her successful escape. He advises her to leave the district once the antidote takes effect, a moment of tender relief amidst the escalating danger in the Demon Slayer manga.

As Tengen departs to rejoin the battle, his acute sense of hearing guides him towards intense vibrations emanating from an underground cavern. With a powerful display of his Hashira abilities, he unleashes Sound Breathing, First Form: Roar, creating a massive explosion that rips through the ground, a sound that resonates even with Daki from a distance. Meanwhile, Tanjiro Kamado finds himself locked in a fierce battle with Daki. She attempts to intimidate him, questioning the number of Demon Slayers in the district and mocking his chipped sword and shaking, causing Tanjiro to doubt his own Water Breathing techniques. He acknowledges his reliance on Hinokami Kagura for powerful strikes but struggles with its sustained use. This internal monologue reveals Tanjiro's growth and self-awareness as a Demon Slayer, constantly pushing his limits against overwhelming odds.

However, inspired by Kyojuro Rengoku's unwavering spirit, Tanjiro ignites his "heart burning" and unleashes a series of devastating Hinokami Kagura forms. He blocks Daki's obi with "Raging Sun," cuts off a significant section of her attack, and then rapidly advances with "Flame Dance," narrowly missing Daki's neck. As Daki retaliates, Tanjiro utilizes "Fake Rainbow" to evade her counterattack, leaving her momentarily bewildered. Capitalizing on her confusion, Tanjiro reappears behind Daki, striking with "Fire Wheel." The chapter concludes with a dramatic cliffhanger: Tanjiro's blade making direct contact with Daki's neck, signaling a potential turning point in their desperate struggle against the Upper Rank Six demon in this thrilling installment of the Demon Slayer manga.
