What episode is "Never Give Up" in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba?
"Never Give Up" is episode 36 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Tanjiro confronts powerful demons threatening his friends, joining forces with allies to fight back with skill and determination amidst escalating danger.
Tanjiro, having survived his fall, approaches Nezuko's box, and sees that she is still inside. Gyutaro arrives however, and mocks him for having been unable to defend her and his friends, slamming him around the burning remains of the city. With Tanjiro at his mercy, Gyutaro proposes he become a demon, willing to spare his life if he does; Tanjiro responds by head-butting him. Enraged, Gyutaro prepares to attack but is paralyzed by a wisteria kunai, stabbed in his leg when Tanjiro hit him. With the Upper Six immobilized, Tanjiro attempts to behead him with Hinokami Kagura once more. Daki sees this but is attacked by Zenitsu before she can kill Tanjiro, who attacks her with his fastest form yet. He manages to slice Daki's obi neck and begins to cut through. Gyutaro removes the kunai and quickly recovers from the poison. Before he can kill Tanjiro, Tengen, having slowed the poison's effects, intervenes, fighting with Gyutaro evenly despite his lost arm. Tanjiro sees his chance and slashes the demon's neck, getting stabbed through the jaw doing so. Fighting the pain, he unknowingly activates his demon slayer mark and begins to sever Gyutaro's neck. Meanwhile, Zenitsu's attack required a lot of energy and is beginning to falter, but he is joined by Inosuke; he reveals he moved his internal organs when he was stabbed, enabling Gyutaro's sickle to miss his heart. They join their swords on Daki's neck. The Demon Slayers then simultaneously behead the siblings, whose heads roll close to each other. As Tanjiro attempts to slow the poison, Tengen tells him to run, just as a large explosion erupts from Gyutaro's body, completely destroying the area.
