Demon Slayer Chapter 88

Demon Slayer Chapter 88, titled "How to Defeat Them," plunges the Demon Slayer Corps into an even more desperate battle against the Upper Rank Six demons, Daki and Gyutaro, in the crumbling Entertainment District. As Tengen Uzui's wives, Makio and Suma, frantically evacuate civilians, Gyutaro attempts to demoralize the newly arrived Tanjiro, successfully intimidating him. However, Tengen's unwavering resolve shines through as he boldly declares their victory, dismissing Daki's taunts about his poisoned state. Tengen's defiant words evoke the spirit of Kyojuro Rengoku in Tanjiro's mind, inspiring hope and excitement in Inosuke. This powerful display of leadership and resilience from the Hashira galvanizes the Demon Slayers, setting a determined tone for the escalating confrontation against the formidable demon siblings in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

The battle erupts as Gyutaro and Daki, enraged by Tengen's confidence, reveal their dark history of having devoured 15 and 7 Hashira, respectively, before launching a coordinated assault. As Daki attempts to ambush Tengen and Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma, with lightning speed, bursts through a building to block her attack, followed closely by Inosuke Hashibira. On the rooftop, Daki finally recognizes Zenitsu from the Kyogoku House, who fiercely demands she apologize to the girl he found crying. Daki dismisses his plea with a cruel explanation of the district's brutal realities, where women are mere merchandise, and as an oiran, she held absolute power. A terrifying transformation then occurs: a third eye appears on Daki's forehead, revealing that Gyutaro can now see through her, enhancing her perception and making her an even more dangerous adversary. This terrifying upgrade further complicates the Demon Slayers' mission, underscoring the formidable power of the Upper Rank demons.

Back in the brothel, Tanjiro, despite being intimidated by Gyutaro's malevolent aura, devises a plan to protect Tengen and counter the demon's attacks. However, Gyutaro's terrifying speed catches Tanjiro off guard, narrowly piercing his jaw. Tengen, demonstrating incredible agility and protective instincts, snatches Tanjiro to safety before engaging Gyutaro in a direct clash. As Tanjiro regains his footing, he senses a massive obi attack descending upon them from above, with Daki's maniacal cackles echoing from the rooftop. Daki, now fully unleashed with Gyutaro awake and sharing his enhanced senses, demonstrates her full strength. Zenitsu and Inosuke, covered in cuts and wounds, prepare to face Daki's renewed assault. The chapter concludes with Gyutaro's disdainful dismissal of Tengen's claims about the boys being Tsuguko, undermining their capabilities as swordsmen, and leaving the Demon Slayers in a desperate fight for survival against the unified might of the Upper Rank Six siblings in the intense Demon Slayer manga.
