Kimetsu no Yaiba Chapter 196 Spoiler/Discussion Thread

[levi12]

I was hoping you do something that helped kill Muzan but tuess not. Unless she's just there to breakdown his will even more knowing he can loger gain immunity now. When was the last time she did something in the story?

Fighting against Hatengu and contribute in his defeat.

 

[Taska]

When was the last time she did something in the story?

Well, she was participating in almost every major arc of the story. She woke up the gang in the train and helped protecting the passengers, she saved Tanjirou from Daki and others from poison, and she played kinda big part in fight with the UM4. Just because she was more of a support character than the main (though I would argue on that) doesn't make her useless plot device

Exactly others characters have far worse timescreen

 

[Aeneas]

(though I would argue on that)

I'd love to hear (read) it.

And I'm only being as critical of her as I am because of how much she's praised/adored (same with Kanroji, but most of us know the main reason why for both).

Is it me or anyone think each chapter is progressing plot quite slow

I feel like things are progress quite slow.

So far it's been more or less 10 minutes of real time per chapter with exception of flashback chapters. If suddenly she would skip more than that everyone would start complain that it's cheating and it's final battle, it can't be that easy for characters. If she would stretch time like 1-2 minutes per chapter, again everyone would start complain, that the battle is taking too long.
Look at that, we are already more than halfway through the fight, even though at the beginning it seemed that 1.5 hour would take forever to get through.

first, nezuko from the very beginning was supposed to be tanjiro's damsel in distress so i guess it would be fine if she would not contribute anything in the muzan fight.

second, i kinda like the idea of muzan turning kamado family into demons and fortunately only nezuko made it.

lastly, since im kinda exposed in field of medicine. i think it would be plain to say that tamayo's transformation formula is non other than a "chemotherapeutic drug" in laymans term. it weakens the body, and then destroys the cells. and muzan can be also compared to a cancer cell. it attaches itself, propagates, and turns other cells into cancer cells, capable of creating a mass or flesh which is alien to the body.

 

[Gallon]

Tamayo taunting Muzan is so satisfying.

 

[yadayada]

Beautiful.

As for the Muzan fight...I mean, maybe I'm wrong since this fight has been very disappointing anyways, but I think a phase 2 is coming. Muzan does indeed deserve to go out like a piece of crap so dying to the medicine would be fitting, however the crows have been screaming the time until dawn for a while which would be completely useless if Muzan didn't do something before then. I'm fairly confident Muzan will abandon everything and just turn into something monstrous as he gets closer and closer to his death.

if another arc is possible, i guess we can look forward to;
•the blue spiderlily origins
•what happened to yoriichi after he left sumiyoshi
•new demon slayer corps and hashiras
•what will happen to ubuyashiki family
•nakime/muzan story/origin

Time for ol' Bessie to make her entrance.

 

[Franz]

•new demon slayer corps and hashiras

If Muzan dies, the demon slayers would no longer serve any purpose.

Blue spider lily
It will probably have something to do with Nezuko and be explained shortly or left vague.

What happened to yoriichi after he left sumiyoshi
This one's fairly obvious. He roamed the country looking for Muzan and killing whatever demons he could find.

New demon slayer corps and hashiras
There won't be any, Muzan's dead soon. And according to what Kagaya said (and Muzan's reaction to it), with Muzan gone they'll all be gone.

What will happen to ubuyashiki family
They'll be freed from the curse and finally get a normal life. Can be tackled in a 1-2 chapter epilogue.

nakime/muzan story/origin
Too late for Nakime, Muzan won't get any would be my guess. Muzan is a villain that is best left with absolutely no form of redemption. But even if there was one, it'll be in this arc.

Another arc with Nezuko turned human and Muzan clearly dying here is unnecessary. It's not happening.

 

[TamagoTanjirou]

So why didn't they just give Muzan the medicine and wait for him to die w.o even fighting him?
Prob something gonna happen.

Agree they are some still left to explore what you list is correct

As to say this arc isn t confirm final arc. It just feels like it

Nope Explaination of Blue spider lily should be explore far more and talk about. Its main reason How monster like Muzan come too be. I hope this will be explore more.

What Yoriichi do after he left Sumiyoshi should be interesting side story to be explore. Creator perhaps should write side story after series end about this.

With Muzan dead,Demon slayers corps and Pillars ceast to exist. Tanjiro and everyone should probably went their seperate ways.

Muzan backstory and origins should be explore Its bullshit and lame if he doesn t

Ubuyashiki Family should be explore in Epiloue like everyonelse

If creator pull another villian out hat Nezuko being human and after Muzan dying sequel is possible

epilogue and Time skip:I think everyone should get epilogue and Timeskip of what happen To Tanjiro,Nezuko and all remaining survivors from Demon slayers corps after Muzan is kill.

Lets not forget This isn t even confirm final arc despite looking like one.

Lol. Ok these caveats are super annoying and repetitive....More details of this poison is revealed more and more each chapter, it's boring to say the worst. To use it for the 3rd time...

The monotony is almost impressive.

Since everyone believed that it was their one and only one attempt to kill Muzan, I would probably be more surprised if medicine had only one effect. If I was a poisoner, I would probably put everything and a little bit more into that poison to make sure that bastard is definitely going to kick the bucket

It is. Sometime I like when an author sticks to their guns and pulls put a surprise on you...I think we've been waiting for this surprise 5+ chapters...shit is happening dont get me wrong..but it's not captivating enough or raising the bar in the fight.

This is where the repetitive boring part comes in....

Muzan once removed from his cocoon said he neutralized the human cure, & was weakened and needed to eat.....then almost 10 chapters later he cant kill a wounded Tanjiro 1 vs 1..and thinks he should have mopped the floor with the other hashira, if he wasn't being aged rapidly by the secret ingredient...His wounds from Yourichi start to appear....Now again!!! Another effect of some sorts I forget

It's too much and too uneventful....The author is drawing a bad parrel between
Yourochi , Muzan & the current pillars who have come so far...

My sister walked on the road to the wilderness, remembered all the past, and then turned into a person.
Thirty-five minutes before dawn on the other side of the battle.
The dandruff boss wants to split and run away, and the carbon snake has no confidence to stop it.
It was at that moment that the tragic division suddenly stopped.
Dust Boss: That's it. There are three kinds of medicine: returning to people, aging, preventing division, this female fox ...
Zhu Shi: I'm sorry, you're wrong.
After talking about the dandruff boss began to vomit blood.
Zhu Shi: There are four kinds of medicine. The fourth drug is to destroy the cells where the first three drugs weaken. These three drugs do not start to work until after they have worked.
Zhu Shi: Come on, the death you hate the most is coming to meet you right away.
