Kimetsu no Yaiba Chapter 201 Spoiler/Discussion Thread

[aaannnnannan]

Me when I woke up: Ok, let's see what new videos Youtube recommends me today. *sees Tanjiro with Muzan's eyes*

Also me: Haha, look at this April Fools' joke. Nice try. *goes at mangahelpers and sees even more raw pages of Tanjiro being transformed into a demon*

Also me again: Yeaaaaaahhhh... maybe it's not a joke? WTF is going on?

This is the kind of chapter I would need translations asap, but Tanjiro turning into a demon opens up a door for very interesting possibilities. Obviously, facing him head-on is out of the question. Three Pillars are dead, and the remaining fighters left can barely move due to their injuries. Tanjiro's desire as the protagonist was to turn Nezuko into human and kill Muzan. Both of them have been fulfilled but he ended up converted into a demon himself. This is, IMO, a really good turn of events, as the roles for the protagonist and the deuteragonist (Nezuko) have completely changed. Now he's the demon and her sister is the human. Hopefully, we can have a lot of Nezuko screentime in the upcoming chapters, since thus far it has been kinda lacking. Though I don't know what can she really do besides trying to talk no jutsu him. She's not an incredible fighter like her brother. Nezuko has depended since the start on her demon powers, now that she is human, she shouldn't have the necessary power to fight. I could be wrong, though.

Hopefully Nezuko and Kanao who has been MIA join this battle and stop Tanjiro.

wait, Giyuu said “kill him before he kills another person” right? that means he killed one of those kakushi. So even if they manage to kill Tanjirou, he’ll only be sent to hell. Kamado my boy doesnt deserve that

He won t be send to hell he isn t in control of himself.

He is same situation like daki upper moon 6.

Tanjiro would never kill innocent if he is himself.

Sanemi’s mother got sent to hell tho
Most of the demons dont have control over themselves and all of them got sent to hell

that contrast with Daki upper moon 6 who commit far more crimes than sanemi mother would go to heaven if she didn t choose hell with her brother.

I guess will see what will be Tanjiro case. Tanjiro has done numerous of good deeds in his life I seriously doubt he will go to hell.

I like muzan. The fight was kind bad. But within his manners, behaviour if im wording it right.
He had disdain for humans, at least thats what i got from his actions on the manga.
So him fighting like he did, just flailing his monster arms around, underestimating everyone was within his character.
Because of that and he saving his OP demon arts as a last resort he lost.
(Nevermind the 3k effects from tamayos drug).

I'm fine if it ends like this. With sanemi ( sanemi deserves to be happy somehow) and giyu surviving. Realistic speaking on fantasy manga about demons and ultrahealing powers, that's okay. Some people dying. And tanjiro dying is okay Too. The manga is kind sad most of the Times, I hope it finishes the same way. With sadness embracing everyone, even thought they will be happy that no more human consuming monster are coming the way.


There still time for muzan/tanjiro merging while they were together. That kamado blood is the one that can resist the Sun if it is mixed with demons blood. (That would suck so much and be cheap asspull)

Urgh i called it. I have mixed feelings about this...

Nope they all choose it except for certain few

If my knowledge of jp is right, giyuu said before he kills someone and not another one

Their is no guarantee he is gonna die here we will just wait and see.

Even if he survives this, it will only making it worse for himself because he will be living with the guilt of killing a person.
And we all know how much Tanjirou hates the idea of killing people.

Depends I don t think he will kill himself he will try to atone. I don t blame him as Muzan is controlling him.

Goddammit, already 7 pages and the chapter isn't even out yet, it has only been a few hours since some leaks have come out. This is shaping out to be the longest discussion of this subsection on a chapter.

Let me have an elaborate peek into the future for a sec:

1. Tanjiro wants to reunite with his family, though Muzan's resentful blood doesn't allow him to be in peace.​
2. Tanjiro eventually confronts Muzan's memories and all that made Muzan the monster he was, he goes in deep and finally he sees Muzan's true self.
3. He finally understands Muzan and says he has forgiven him for all that he did.
4. Muzan realizes that Tanjiro's power to forgive was the power he never had, and Muzan fades with a smile on him.
5. Tanjiro wakes up, reunites with Nezuko and co, but then tells them he has inherited something beyond demon powers.
6. Tanjiro makes a pact with the demon slayers to never harm each other again, because the will to struggle and survive was what created Muzan.
7. Demon King Tanjiro.

That's why Muzan didn't have a flashback. Come on, now that they'll invent to get him out of there?

I mean it makes perfect sense but I would say that giving the human drug to Tanjirou would make sense too right ?

Don t forget Tanjiro didn t choose to be a demon just like Daki it was force on both of them.

 

[R21_]

Nope they all choose it except for certain few

what i meant was most of them when they become a demon, they become a completely another person and their memories gradually fades away hence they are not themselves anymore

If im not mistaken, only Kokushibo and Doma retains their “old-self” along with their respective memories
