Demon Slayer Chapter 85

Demon Slayer Chapter 85, titled "Weeping," navigates the emotional aftermath of Nezuko Kamado's demonic rampage and introduces a terrifying new threat in the Entertainment District Arc. Initially, Tanjiro Kamado is stunned by Tengen Uzui's swift decapitation of Daki, but the Sound Hashira quickly reminds him of the ongoing danger posed by Nezuko's uncontrolled state. As Tanjiro struggles to restrain his sister, Tengen suggests a lullaby to soothe her. Despite Nezuko's continued aggression, Tanjiro, remembering his mother's song, begins to sing. The familiar melody slowly penetrates Nezuko's demonic fury, evoking childhood memories and causing her to break down in tears. She transforms back into her child-like state and falls asleep, bringing immense relief to Tanjiro. This poignant moment underscores the enduring power of family bonds and the remnants of Nezuko's humanity, a touching scene amidst the chaos of the Demon Slayer manga.

Back in the house, Daki, her severed head still alive, unleashes a furious tantrum at Tengen for denying her Upper Rank status. Tengen, dismissive of her claims, insists she is too weak. Daki's prolonged existence after decapitation puzzles the Hashira, indicating a deeper, more sinister connection. In her enraged state, Daki cries out for "Gyutaro," and to Tengen's astonishment, a new male demon emerges from her body. Tengen, sensing immense danger, immediately attempts to strike, but both demons vanish and reappear behind him. Tengen, now fully aware of the new threat, notes the demon's incredible reaction speed. Gyutaro, Daki's brother, casually comforts her, urging her to reattach her head and complimenting her beauty. This dramatic entrance by Gyutaro signifies a dangerous escalation, introducing a second, more powerful Upper Rank demon to the battlefield.

The confrontation intensifies as Tengen attempts another attack, but Gyutaro effortlessly wounds him, showcasing his formidable combat prowess. Gyutaro, with chilling confidence, praises Tengen's attempt and his ability to block the initial strike, revealing his intent to kill the Hashira with that very blow. The chapter concludes with Gyutaro menacingly preparing for a full-scale battle, leaving Tengen and the remaining Demon Slayers facing an overwhelming dual threat from Upper Rank Six demons Daki and Gyutaro. This sudden and powerful twist in Demon Slayer Chapter 85 dramatically raises the stakes, promising an even more desperate and flashy battle to come, solidifying the Entertainment District Arc's place as a high-octane segment in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.
