One such turning point occurs when Hantengu, a demon from the Upper Moons, reveals to Muzan Kibutsuji, the embodiment of evil, that Nezuko Kamado, the sister of the series' protagonist, has gained immunity to sunlight. This revelation proves to be a crucial moment that directly affects Nezuko's fate and sets in motion a series of events that intensify the conflict between the demons and the Demon Slayer Corps.
How Hantengu turns Nezuko into Muzan's target in Demon Slayer
Hantengu's revelation
Hantengu, a demon with the unique ability to split himself into multiple clones, possesses a keen sense of observation. During his encounter with Nezuko and the Demon Slayer Corps, he witnesses firsthand Nezuko's immunity to sunlight—an extraordinary and unprecedented feat among demons. Recognizing the significance of this development, Hantengu, motivated by self-interest, quickly informs Muzan Kibutsuji about Nezuko's newfound immunity.
Muzan Kibutsuji, the series' primary antagonist, seeks to become the ultimate demon and eliminate any potential threats to his reign. Upon learning about Nezuko's immunity to sunlight, Muzan recognizes her potential advantage as a loyal and powerful ally. With the ability to roam freely during daylight, Nezuko becomes an invaluable asset in Muzan's quest for dominance.
Nezuko as Muzan's target
Muzan's interest in Nezuko quickly transitions from viewing her as an ally to perceiving her as a target. Realizing her exceptional resistance to the sun, Muzan becomes determined to study and exploit the source of her newfound immunity. Muzan's obsession with Nezuko intensifies as he aims to harness her power and incorporate it into his own abilities, making him impervious to sunlight.
With Nezuko now firmly in Muzan's crosshairs, the Kamado siblings and the Demon Slayer Corps face a heightened threat. Muzan's relentless pursuit of Nezuko poses a grave danger to her life and jeopardizes the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps—to rid the world of demons and protect humanity. Nezuko's status as Muzan's target raises the stakes and pushes the protagonists to new levels of determination as they strive to shield her from harm.
Strained alliances and consequences
Hantengu's role in revealing Nezuko's immunity also complicates the alliances within the demon hierarchy. As Muzan directs his attention towards Nezuko, tensions rise among the demons as they vie for Muzan's favor and protection.
Hantengu's actions inadvertently create a rift within the demon ranks, as other demons now see Nezuko as a potential rival for Muzan's attention and favor. This further fuels the animosity between the demons and sets the stage for internal conflicts and power struggles.
Nezuko's transformation into Muzan's target serves as a catalyst for the events that unfold in the series. It propels the narrative forward, highlighting the risks the Kamado siblings and the Demon Slayer Corps face. As they confront Muzan and his minions, the protagonists must rely on their resilience, skills, and unwavering bond to protect Nezuko and prevent her from falling into Muzan's clutches.
Final thoughts
Hantengu's revelation about Nezuko's immunity to sunlight marks a pivotal moment in the series. As Muzan sets his sights on Nezuko, her life and the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps hang in the balance. The conflict intensifies, alliances are strained, and the stakes are raised to unprecedented heights.
The path ahead for Nezuko and the Demon Slayer Corps is fraught with challenges. Muzan's relentless pursuit of Nezuko pushes the protagonists to the edge of their abilities and forces them to confront their deepest fears. They must navigate a treacherous landscape, constantly on the run and evading Muzan's relentless minions.
