10/10. That's all I have to say at the moment.

 

[levi12]

Awesome chapter 10 out of 10 you let Jealousy and envy consume you Koku. While his reasons aren t exactly justifying and reasonable. I can relate with him and I hope he make peace with Yoriichi in after life

I guess Koku and Akaza can meet in hell tell each other How they let uncontrollable emotion of despair and jealousy turn them into a monster. In the end they both regret everything.

Yoriichi was very abnormal compare to everyone and very very gifted. Koku shouldn t compare himself to his bro.

Dance of fire god and breath of the sun are the same after all.

well I guess Akaza cemented as my most favourite demon in demon slayers. Now unless Nakime turn to have also very interesting backstory

Now its either Giyu and Tanjiro vs Muzan or Nakime vs Love and snake pillar next chapter

We will get confirmation on Genya and Tokitou status next chapter most likely.

 

[Gallon]

This chapter is so realistic in the sense of depicting how toxic comparison can be. There will always be someone better than you, and Michikatsu's resentment and failure to come to terms with it feels so... natural.

 

[Ger]

It seems not even muzan could do any damage go yoriichi and so now we know dance of the fire God is the sun breath and was stated before the breath can have u fight as if u were healthy.

"There will always be someone better than you". laughs in yorichi

so... is the implication from the chapter that the dance of the fire god and the breath of the sun are the same thing? And the only person that could master it hundreds of years ago was tanjiro's ancestor who passed it down? It seems weird that a family could pass the art consistently though.

I honestly thought that was clear quite a while ago? I figured the Dance of the Fire God was just the name Tanjirou's family had for it.

Loved the backstory and the Tanjirou portrait and reference.

well that's because kamado family has the potential more than kukoshibo?

 

[kkck]

I haven't been entirely clear on that since tanjiro visited rengoku's family. A big deal was made about the names used so at least to me it seemed like there was some ambiguity there.

 

[Demonspeed]

This might be the saddest death in the manga to me... Damn.

I too had doubts about the Breath of the Sun and Dance of the Fire God being the same thing. Why another name though? Maybe one of Yoriichi's descendants awakened it and named it like that because he didn't know that there was a name for it already. Not even Pillars knew much about that style.

Agree with you plus Dance of fire of god doesn t seem to have same the destructive as Breath of the moon. Breath of the sun must have incredible destructive power to bring Muzan to his knees plus far outclass the rest of breath Or perhaps not It just very allrounder and very adaptive breath style. Though this could be lack of mastery of Dance of fire god from Tanjiro case. After all it no suprise Tanjiro skill with it pale comparison compare to Yoriichi. Like they say What makes power or weapon strong is it wielder or how they use it or Breath of the sun and dance of fire god are not the same maybe Dance of fire god is far weaker version Breath of the sun or They are not same whatsoever.

I say I estimate Dance of fire god being 60 percent being the same as breath of the sun.

Either way full power Tanjiro at his peak at this point is only stronger than>Akaza(Pre decaptication immunity),Mark Giyu and Mark Sanemi. Still weaker than Himejima,Douma,Koku,Yoriichi and Muzan and Akaza(Post decaptication immunity). Not sure if he is stronger than Muichirou who all have all see through.

 

[Laminariales]

Ugh... on second translated read: kokushibou is so self-centered he's the type I hate.... yet the last page so crushing... He had wife and kids and abounded them, and threw the family name that was probably everything he wanted as a kid,,, why? to be like yoriichi? it's not like yoriichi had anything going on for him except demons slashing and bad communication skills. I wonder if this is the end of the flashback, the last question hangs heavy

also damn you muzan

 

[Shadowlord123]

Damn, it's like the author read my comment two weeks ago of Koku's past being shallow and decided to make me eat my fucking words, because this was phenomenal. Upper Moons as a whole has to be one of the best treated grups of antagonists I've ever seen in shonen. Now the only thing that remains is UM4 and Muzan (maybe even UM5 if it has been substitued). Gotouge probably has something really interesting stored for UM4, since she made her live longer than Koku. Her ability to control the Infinite Dimensional Fortress has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see how this continues.

Well, that's the point, both brothers are tragic in the sense that they couldn't achieve what they wanted the most, and were blessed with what their twin was not.
Yoriichi was so happy due to one moment of appreciation he was given through the flute, but did not really like fighting, while Michikatsu took everything he had - his family, his legacy, and his happiness, the very things Yoriichi strived for but gave up for his sibling - and threw it away for what Yoriichi never cared much to begin with.

Michikatsu was never the defective clone of his brother, but he assumed so because he wasn't blessed as a combatant. Yet, when you look in the emotional aspect, he had everything he needed to be happy, and Yoriichi didn't.
They're two sides of the same coin that strived to achieve what the opposite side did, while not appreciating what they have.

 

[Demonspeed]

We are seeing the POV of Kokushibou though, from his POV Yoriichi is perfection itself. I don't think Yoriichi had a bad life. His biggest failure(apparently) was the fact that he was unable to save his beloved brother.

 

[danh]

This series is going to end soon?

 

[Gallon]

Of course Yoriichi was perfect in Koku's subjective view, but he was far from it objectively.
No wife, no children, no family, no real place you belong, and on top of it, regret. Koku's life was, in my opinion, better from an objective standpoint.

 

[levi12]

I got many question on Yoriichi. Why didn t Yoriichi try to find someone relentlessly over years that could master his breath of the sun after he fail to kill Muzan? Why didn t form a family like Koku and let his lineage continue? How did he fail to kill Muzan?

Now that koku dead,I guess we will Not It see From koku point of view,but from Muzan point of view On how Yoriichi fail to kill Muzan in the final battle. I presume Muzan Went into hiding after he almost got kill by Yoriichi and probably just wait years and years to let the passing of time kill Yoriichi meaning he just let old age kill Yoriichi. He most likely send koku all over japan to search and kill Yoriichi if He still alive after many many years now that Muzan know Yoriichi is old and thought he is Far weaker Now. This is my opinion on what happen.
