Demon Slayer Chapter 90

Demon Slayer Chapter 90, titled "Grateful," introduces a crucial tactical element in the battle against Gyutaro and Daki: Hinatsuru's wisteria-coated kunai darts. These darts, capable of paralyzing a demon for half a day or immobilizing a Lower Rank, were deployed strategically by Hinatsuru from a nearby rooftop. As the Demon Slayers relentlessly push to decapitate Gyutaro, Hinatsuru desperately hopes the poison will take effect, even for a brief moment. However, to their dismay, Gyutaro swiftly regenerates his legs and unleashes his Blood Demon Art, Rotating Circular Slashes: Flying Blood Scythes, sending a torrent of blood slashes towards them. This powerful counterattack forces Tengen Uzui to prioritize Tanjiro Kamado's safety, throwing him back to protect him. The immediate regeneration of Gyutaro's limbs highlights the incredible resilience of Upper Rank demons, showcasing the immense challenge faced by the Demon Slayers in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

Tengen, employing Sound Breathing, Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes, manages to deflect Gyutaro's attack, but the demon suddenly vanishes. To Tengen's horror, Gyutaro reappears on the rooftop, having captured Hinatsuru and poised to kill her. Tengen, reflecting on Hinatsuru's past request to retire from the Demon Slayer Corps after their mission, and her poignant acceptance of potential regrets, desperately attempts to break through Daki's obi to save her. Simultaneously, Tanjiro struggles to reach Hinatsuru with Hinokami Kagura, his body failing to respond due to exhaustion. Adapting quickly, Tanjiro switches to a Water Breathing form, utilizing its fluid movements to swiftly rescue Hinatsuru from Gyutaro's grasp. This critical moment demonstrates Tanjiro's adaptability and resourcefulness in the face of overwhelming odds, underscoring his growth as a Demon Slayer.

Recognizing the effectiveness of combining his techniques, Tanjiro resolves to utilize both Water Breathing and Hinokami Kagura to amplify his attacking power. Gyutaro, caught off guard by Tanjiro's unexpected maneuver, charges at him with renewed fury. However, at that precise moment, Tengen, fueled by gratitude and a renewed sense of urgency, appears behind Gyutaro. With a powerful swing of his blade, Tengen aims for Gyutaro's neck while openly declaring his debt to Tanjiro for saving Hinatsuru. The chapter concludes with Tengen's decisive strike, signaling a coordinated assault that aims to finally decapitate the Upper Rank Six demon. This climactic collaboration between Tanjiro and Tengen dramatically raises the stakes, promising a thrilling continuation of the Entertainment District Arc and a desperate struggle for victory in the captivating world of the Demon Slayer manga.
