Meanwhile, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya will engage in a cat-and-mouse game as they attempt to capture Hantengu’s real body and kill him for good.
During this time, Genya will utilizes his demonic abilities. Following this, Tanjiro Kamado will recall a conversation he once had with Zenitsu and utilize Thunder Breathing to improve his pace, eventually getting a hold of Hantengu’s real body. By the time Tanjiro cuts the Upper Moon 4 demon’s head, it would be sunrise. Nezuko is out in the open, and Tanjiro fears that his beloved sister will be dead.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Nezuko will stand while being exposed to sunlight and greet her brother. There is a possibility that the finale could feature Hantengu’s backstory. But if it doesn’t, the episode could focus on Lady Tamayo’s letter that talks about Nezuko’s blood and how it helped a demon regain his humanity. Thus, this will prove to be a major stepping stone for both the demon slayers and Nezuko.
