Demon Slayer Chapter 83

Demon Slayer Chapter 83, titled "Transformation," delves deeper into the cataclysmic battle between Nezuko Kamado and Daki, revealing a terrifying escalation of Nezuko's demonic power. The chapter opens with a flashback to Muzan Kibutsuji, who, while visiting Daki at the Kyogoku House, charges her with finding the escaped demon in a hemp-patterned kimono and checkerboard obi—Nezuko. In the present, Daki, confident in her abilities, vows to kill Nezuko and present her to Muzan. As the two demons clash, Daki swiftly severs Nezuko's leg with her obi, then violently blasts her off the rooftop and into a nearby building. This initial exchange highlights Daki's cruel efficiency and the immediate peril Nezuko faces, setting a brutal tone for the unfolding conflict in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

While the demons rage, Tanjiro Kamado remains unconscious, lost in a dream vision of his younger brother, Takeo. Takeo reflects on the striking similarities between Tanjiro and Nezuko—their shared kindness and fierce anger—and recalls a terrifying instance of Nezuko's wrath, expressing his fear for her and the potential loss of everything she holds dear. This dream serves as a crucial premonition of Nezuko's unleashed power. Back in the waking world, Daki descends to mock Nezuko, trapped beneath rubble, taunting her as a "half-developed Demon" for not consuming humans. Daki, confident of victory, threatens to expose Nezuko to the sun. However, Nezuko bursts from the debris, regenerating her leg and arm instantly, shocking Daki with her rapid healing abilities, which even surpass an Upper Rank Demon's. Nezuko's body undergoes a horrific transformation: her bamboo muzzle shatters, a horn protrudes from her forehead, and ivy-like demon crests envelop her, signifying a complete and uncontrollable demonic awakening, a truly terrifying moment in the Demon Slayer manga.

Nezuko, now in her fully transformed and enraged state, becomes a force of pure, destructive power. Daki, visibly intimidated by Nezuko's heightened aura, attempts to defend herself from a powerful kick, successfully cutting off Nezuko's leg with her obi. Yet, to Daki's shock, Nezuko's regenerated leg pierces through her body, pinning her to the ground. Daki realizes with growing horror that Nezuko's regenerative abilities are superior to her own, a crushing blow to her pride and confidence. As Nezuko descends into a state of mania, her brother Takeo's desperate pleas echo in Tanjiro's unconscious mind, urging him to awaken and help Nezuko, who is no longer herself. The chapter concludes with Tanjiro jolting awake, filled with urgent concern, signaling his re-entry into the battle and the critical need to intervene before Nezuko's uncontrollable demonic power leads to irreversible consequences in the escalating Entertainment District Arc of the Demon Slayer manga.
