Tengen finds Hinatsuru on the outskirts of the district, having poisoned herself to escape but remaining unable to contact him. Battling Daki by himself, Tanjiro tries to use his Hinokami Kagura but realizes the fatigue on his body is preventing him from fighting effectively. Inosuke discovers an incredibly narrow passageway under his Houseleading to a cave that appears to serve as a holding cell, full of obi that Daki has used to absorb her victims. This obi turns out to be an entity that can function independently from Daki’s body.

Daki prepares to kill him as he is downed when Nezuko suddenly attacks her.
Remembering Muzan’s mention of a rogue demon, she begins fighting her. As Nezuko fights Daki, her increasingly potent regenerative abilities and Blood Demon Art overwhelm her opponent, leaving Daki.
The Real Upper Moon:
Tengen soon arrives and beheads Daki with ease, doubting she is as powerful as she claims. However, she does not die, and instead, her brother Gyutaro emerges from within her body. Gyutaro, who also holds the position of Upper Rank Six. Evious of Tengen’s good looks, begins to fight him using his sickles and Blood Demon Art. Tengen struggles to stand his ground while protecting the civilians, realizing that Daki cannot be killed while Gyutaro is alive just as Zenitsu and Inosuke arrive to help. Taking Nezuko to safety, Tanjiro focuses on the coming battle despite his injuries.
Tengen trades barbs with Gyutaro and Daki, As they fight, Tengen is poisoned by Gyutaro but is joined by Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. The district is evacuated by Suma and Makio, while Hinatsuru makes her way to Tengen. The Demon Slayers plan to behead the demons simultaneously but Daki engages Zenitsu and Inosuke, while Gyutaro clashes with Tengen and Tanjiro. Fighting as one, the demons gradually overwhelm their opponents.
Entering the fight, Hinatsuru fires wisteria-laced kunais at Gyutaro, paralysing him and allowing Tengen and Tanjiro to reach his neck. Gyutaro neutralizes the wisteria and uses his Blood Demon Art grabbing Hinatsuru.
Tanjiro combines his Hinokami Kagura and Water Breathing, unleashing a very fast charge that saves her. Tengen joins to slice off Gyutaro’s head, while Zenitsu and Inosuke continue to fight Daki’s obi. Gyutaro stops their blades and unleashes his Blood Demon Art again, forcing Tengen to throw himself and Gyutaro away.
What’s Happening:
Tengen fighting Gyutaro alone, Tanjiro joins his friends in facing Daki, where he and Zenitsu open the way for Inosuke, allowing him to behead her.

The Final Clash:
Tanjiro survives his fall but is confronted by Gyutaro, who mocks his inability to protect Nezuko and his friends he asks tanjiro to turn into a demon like him.
Tanjiro responds by head-butting him, secretly stabbing him with a poisoned kunai. With Gyutaro immobilized, he attempts his Hinokami Kagura to behead him. Daki intervenes but is attacked by Zenitsu, with his fastest form.
Gyutaro removes the kunai and recovers. Before he can kill Tanjiro, Tengen, having halted the poison’s effects, intervenes, battling Gyutaro despite his wounds. Seeing his chance, Tanjiro reaches Gyutaro’s neck but is stabbed in the jaw.
His scar transforms into a demon slayer mark, giving him the strength to slice through. Zenitsu loses momentum without cutting Daki’s neck but is joined by Inosuke revealing he moved his internal organs upon getting stabbed, causing Gyutaro to miss his heart.
