You don't read this reconciliation with oneself anymore. You don't read how one person made a mistake and made an effort to amend it. You don't read about the guilt that people carried from the loss of someone that they loved and how they worked to let it go. It is not something you see on screen or read in books anymore. So it is always appreciated and valued when I find it here.

An interesting conclusion to the sentient sword.

Bumbling but powerful wizards against drow? That I would like to see.

Some worldbuilding when it comes to the Kizuki ranks and how it works. Very interesting. This was never brought up in the anime but it does make sense.

It's really weird to see someone transform between genders and ages like Lord Muzan Kibutsuji. It's definitely different to Western vampires.

The demons have their own Hashira. They are the Kizuki.

He's coming at him with a knife! All because his sword broke!

They mastered the Total Concentration Breathing technique in less time than Tanjiro?! Damn!

"The Sword Returns." Oh, I love this chapter! It was hilarious to see the sword maker be furious!

Some interesting backstory to Shinobu. She doesn't come off as so much of a psycho now.
Also, Tanjiro has finally blown into a gourd so hard that it shattered!

Giving gifts, even minor ones, and compliments are major parts of Japapnese love language.

Zenitsu! Your perviness is not making you think clearly! Good God, man! But his reaction is hilariously drawn, so I can't help but laugh at him.

Zenitsu has been so desperate for girl attention that when he gets it from overbearing nurses, he cowers in his hospital bed! Lol!

So, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps has Mass Hypnotism. That is setting off alarm bells in my head as is his illness causing his blindness.

I both love the title of this chapter and Nezuko sitting in her bamboo box like a cat, fuming at Sanemi, who had stabbed her three times while helpless inside. It was funny in the anime and it's funny here!

"Should Nezuko ever attack someone together with Tanjiro Kamado I, Sakonji Urokodaki, and Giyu Tomioka will make amends by slicing open our stomachs." That’s seppuku, a samurai ritual where the shame of disgrace is so great that they would rather kill themselves than live with it. This is a rather interesting Chekov's Gun, because you know it's going to happen at some point. Probably at the very end.

Tanjiro leaped over a Hashira's attack and headbutted him with his hands tied behind his back and still in pain! What?! That is so impressive and amazing and cool! Ah!

Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, Mitsuri Kanroji, these first three are going to be the first Hashira we're going to be introduced in later volumes!

Having caught up on the anime, I recognize the Hashira on this page and the next. Still haven't memorized their names.

I loved when Nezuko shrunk into a child in the anime and I love it when she did it in the manga! Kawaii!

Glabrezu. I thought I recognized its description. I haven't used or fought one myself in DnD.

Lolth? Has Lolth herself finally arrived?

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is happening?!

This shifting of magic and of the base of power now is really interesting. The dead are coming back to life, the creatues of magic are struggling to avoid the Void, and only those with psychic abilities are unaffected.

...oh s**t...This is really bad if Guenhwyvar has now become lost between the Planes.

You can always count on dwarves for physical comedy.

...Whoa! Major things are happening in the cosmic sense. I'm actually preparing my second DnD campaign on the idea that the major deities are going to be walking among the world once more.

Drizzt finally admits his feelings! So, when's the wedding?

"Now that I can remember...I... wish I could apologize. I'm sorry. This was my fault...all my fault. Please forgive me. But...I've killed mountains of people, so I'm going to Hell. I don't get to go to the same place as Mom and Dad...right?"
"Wherever you go, we'll go. We're your parents. We'll even go with you to Hell."
God, this is tearing me up! 😢

"The stronger I got, the more my human memories faded...and the less I understood what I truly wanted." This is so profound. It's the crux behind all of these demons. I love it. This is one of the many reasons why I love Demon Slayer and its worldbuilding.
