Demon Slayer Chapter 97

Demon Slayer Chapter 97, aptly titled "No Matter How Many Lives, Part 2," concludes the tragic backstory of Gyutaro and Daki and shifts focus to the aftermath of the fierce battle in the Entertainment District. In their final moments, Gyutaro reflects on what Daki could have become if he had raised her differently, while a younger Daki, disgusted by their destination, attempts to separate from him. Despite Gyutaro's initial refusal, Daki's tearful apology for her insults and her fierce vow to always be his little sister, no matter how many times they are reborn, ultimately softens him. He accepts her company, carrying her into the unknown depths of hell, a poignant end to their twisted bond and a testament to their unbreakable, albeit dark, sibling love within the captivating narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.

In the world of the living, Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado witness the final dissolution of the demon siblings. Tanjiro, observing their disintegration, wonders if they reconciled in their final moments, which Nezuko affirms. The scene then transitions to Obanai Iguro, who initially attempts to commend Tengen Uzui for defeating Upper Rank Six but expresses disappointment at the low rank and Tengen's severe injuries—the loss of an arm and an eye. Tengen declares his intention to retire as a Hashira, a decision Obanai vehemently opposes, citing the existing vacant Hashira position and the high casualty rate among lower-ranking Demon Slayers. However, Tengen counters by praising Tanjiro's remarkable improvement, much to Obanai's surprise at the young slayer's survival. This exchange highlights the immense pressure and sacrifices required of the Hashira, and the growing recognition of the next generation of Demon Slayers in the Demon Slayer manga.

Meanwhile, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, receives news of the victory with immense elation, despite being gravely ill. He recognizes the profound significance of this triumph, believing it will have far-reaching consequences that will ensure Muzan Kibutsuji's defeat within their generation. His joyful declaration is abruptly cut short by a severe coughing fit, underscoring his fragile health and unwavering resolve. In the ominous Infinity Castle, Akaza, another Upper Rank demon, senses a summoning, realizing with a chilling certainty that a fellow Upper Rank has been defeated. This moment sets a grim tone for the future, hinting at Muzan's growing desperation and the intensifying war between demons and Demon Slayers, further escalating the stakes in the thrilling narrative of the Demon Slayer manga.
