Demon Slayer Chapter 89

Demon Slayer Chapter 89, titled "A Close Fight," intensifies the chaotic battle against the Upper Rank Six demons, Daki and Gyutaro, showcasing the combined efforts of the Demon Slayers. The chapter opens with the fierce confrontation raging across rooftops and within the collapsing brothel. Tengen Uzui, cornered by Gyutaro's attacks, is shielded by Tanjiro Kamado's timely intervention. Tengen then unleashes Sound Breathing, Fifth Form: String Performance, attempting to corner Gyutaro, but Daki's obi cleverly interferes, protecting her brother. Tengen is momentarily pushed back, but Tanjiro, despite a severe shoulder wound, cuts through the obi, creating a distraction. The Hashira is impressed by Tanjiro's resilience, noting how he's tied his sword to his hand to prevent dropping it due to exhaustion. Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Inosuke and Zenitsu struggle against Daki's obi, which now wields Gyutaro's blood blades, making it almost impossible to approach her in this high-stakes Demon Slayer manga.

As the brothel crumbles, the fight between Tengen, Tanjiro, and Gyutaro moves into the open night sky. A crucial turning point arrives with the intervention of Hinatsuru, one of Tengen's wives. From a nearby rooftop, she launches dozens of kunai darts down onto Gyutaro, initially confusing the demon. Gyutaro, in response, activates his Blood Demon Art: Rampant Arc Rampage, deflecting the incoming projectiles. However, the true danger of Hinatsuru's attack is soon revealed. Tengen, already struggling, is astonished when Gyutaro continues to attack despite being struck by the darts. He attempts to decapitate Gyutaro but is blocked. It is then revealed that the kunai darts were laced with wisteria extract, a potent demon poison. This ingenious strategy, employing the very poison demons fear, proves effective as Gyutaro's legs are severed, and he struggles to regenerate, his body beginning to go numb, marking a significant shift in the Demon Slayer manga's fierce battle.

With Gyutaro's regeneration impaired and his body numbing, Tanjiro seizes the opportunity, closing in to deliver a decisive decapitating blow. The Demon Slayers, collectively gaining the upper hand, fill Gyutaro with seething curiosity about their unexpected resilience. This coordinated attack, leveraging Hinatsuru's strategic use of wisteria-coated kunai, marks a critical moment in the fight against Upper Rank Six. The combined strength, tactical prowess, and unwavering determination of Tengen and the young Demon Slayers begin to overpower the demon siblings. The chapter concludes with the fate of Gyutaro hanging in the balance, as Tanjiro's blade inches closer to his neck, promising a climactic resolution to this intense confrontation in the Entertainment District Arc of the Demon Slayer manga.
