Kimetsu no Yaiba Chapter 201 Spoiler/Discussion Thread

But I don't think we'll see another fight, also because they are all dead or half dead.

I think the next 2-3 chapters will be devoted to a way to get Tanjiro back to normal.

Which shouldn't be difficult, I mean, with Tamayo's cure ......

Maybe Tamayo cure is not strong enough since so much blood was put in Tanjiro

Muzan is an ubuyashiki

Ubuyashiki-san mentioned that before he died, that Muzan is a relative of his ancestors. So Muzan could have borned with the same ill that killed all the Ubuyashiki's?

Yep I hope Now Tanjiro inherit Muzan memories. I can see Muzan backstory I am very interest. What turn him into such a psychopath and evil.

Nothing is official about this being the final arc

People just assume because the series has had so much success it would be smarter to just milk the series at this point

People assume this is the final arc because of the pace of the series after the death of Rengoku. I mean Lower Moons were killed off by Muzan within 1 Chapter and the remaining Upper Moons were killed off left and right. To me, it still feels like we are in the final arc.

As I said before, I can fully understand if Gotouge wants to milk the Manga for monetary reasons. Most people don't understand that the Job of a Mangaka is very hard and most of them do not have success.

It was not that, in this arc many characters were answered and many important characters were killed, including the main villain.
People are not to blame for thinking that this is the final arc.

I hate this. I hate it so much. This manga doesn’t need a time skip continuation and it doesn’t need a weird final fight that’s almost certainly going to amount to “Tanjiro we love you, you can fight this” because that’s the only way Zenitsu, Inosuke and Nezuko are beating a Demon Tanjiro and that’s only if this horrible turn of events isn’t time skip bait

It's poetic justice, we saw 200 chapters of Tanjiro taking care of the demon Nezuko.
Now it is the turn of the human Nezuko to take care of the demon Tanjiro.

 

[aaannnnannan]

I mean basically the 50% of important characters was killed off and they were also the strongest . Those who survived are mostly badly injured. So it’s safe to assume that this year will probably end the serie . My guess is that we will go on for another volume (24) and Maybe for a long conclusive arc in volume (25)

 

[Taiyoo]

I hope Tanjiro will gain control of himself and not hurt Inosuke..

I think it was more than 50%, there are only 10 important characters.
People are saying that Tanjiro will run away, but now that he is immune to the sun, and the demon slayer are tired, there is no reason for him to run away.
If he kills it will be bad, it will destroy the character and it will show that Nezuko is stronger than his brother, since she resisted more than he and never killed anyone.
This question of the demon Tanjiro created a situation that could be bad for the manga. Even with high sales.

The demon tanjiro must be muzan in person who took control. For nezuko she is hypnotized so that she does not you and must protect them

If the demon Tanjiro kills it only shows that the demon Nezuko was stronger.
Even with what you said, it still breaks the character and harms the story

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 3, 2020, Original Post Date: Apr 3, 2020 ---

Nezuko had not been hypnotized when she attacked her brother in the first chapter, and then protected him from Tomioka.

no, i guess the tanjiro demon is not tanjiro himself but muzan who controls him. So if it hurts an individual it is not tanjiro but muzan. So in my eyes nezuko will not be stronger than tanjiro because it is controlled by a thousand year proof which was not the case with nezuko. For me its will not break the story and character.

It breaks, because all the demons were controlled by Muzan, the Nezuko in the first chapter was controlled but got rid of.
If Tanjiro kills and doesn't get out of Muzan's control, he is weaker than the demon Nezuko.

not for me because muzan is more inside tanjiro than nezuko.
even if his watch is certain that tanjiro and weaker than nezuko will show me, even more the importance of nezuko in the manga

I don't think so because when Nezuko became a demon the first person she encountered was tanjirou where tanjirou did not have the same. As Tanjirou's body is much stronger than her's which could have made the demonification more powerful and harder to break out of (personal headcannon).

It is not a question of who has more Muzan, but willpower.
Nezuko spent the entire manga struggling with her own instincts.
If Tanjiro succumbs so easily, he is no stronger than Nezuko.

I don't think so because when Nezuko became a demon the first person she encountered was tanjirou where tanjirou did not have the same. As Tanjirou's body is much stronger than her's which could have made the demonification more powerful and harder to break out of (personal headcannon).

And willpower? kimetsu no yaiba is still a jump manga, he is not a young jump Tokyo ghoul.
Even though the demonification was stronger, Nezuko fought much more.

By searching the web it is announced since January that the manga will end this month. It seems that not prolonging the story – simply because of the tremendous success of the anime – is a decision of the author herself.
Well I’m just disappointed by the character of nezuko who has my eyes wasn’t exploited much as a demon but remains a good mascot

Colleague what I see in the comments is the people wanting the story to go on just because it sold well.
And fall into the same trap as Bleach, Nanatsu, Dragon ball and others.
Creating a situation where Tanjiro becomes the new villain of the story and Nezuko becomes a demon slayer and kills him.
It's practically Naruto and Sasuke again just to prolong the story and makes it a bad thing.
It's okay for you to want this, and you think the demon Tanjiro is stronger than the demon Nezuko.
But for me if Tanjiro succumbs to Muzan, he is weaker than his sister and Tamayo.

sorry but bleach naruto nanatsu and dragon ball i liked the serte suite it had faults but i love it.
I did not consider Tanjiro as a villain but more as someone who runs away and that his sister decides to go looking for him to save him and not kill him. In the manga, I saw nezuko just a cute mascot and she could have done more

 

[TheMarionette]

It seems some people here didn't get a few things right:

1. Muzan injected pretty much all of his blood into Tanjiro( although by doing so, he "logically" yeeted that 1000-effect cure into him but oh well, plot armor? ) before dropping dead, although it's utterly stupid how he suddenly became selfless and wanted someone else to become "a perfect demon".
The point is: Muzan is dead, he just turned Tanjiro into a demon.

2. Tanjiro, just like pretty much all demons upon transition, lost his sense of self along with his memories, meaning he's currently just a hungry and aggressive biter.
Nezuko was mentally pretty much an advanced trained dog( with fighting capabilities and eventual flashbacks which only triggered her affection/defensive instinct towards her family ) and we only saw her fully regain her senses/memories after reverting back to a human.

3. The author will probably pull a rabbit out of their ass in some way, but I guess we will have to wait and see. I personally wouldn't mind if Tanjiro lived or died and it feels like the story could end but also could go on.

A useful and effective cute monkey, after all she always saved Tanjiro from the situation.
And it will not be different, for sure to Nezuko and will make Tanjiro regain consciousness.
