Gyutaro neutralizes the wisteria and fends off Tengen and Tanjiro, before grabbing Hinatsuru. Tanjiro combines his Hinokami Kagura and Water Breathing in a charge that stuns Gyutaro and saves her. Tengen joins him to slashing Gyutaro's neck, but he stops their blades and unleashes his Blood Demon Art, forcing Tengen to throw him and himself away. As Tengen fights Gyutaro, Tanjiro joins Zenitsu and Inosuke against Daki; he and Zenitsu open Inosuke's path, allowing him to behead her. He runs away with her head when Gyutaro stabs him from behind. Tanjiro looks for Tengen and sees him wounded and motionless. Devastated for not being able to help him, he freezes; Zenitsu pushes him off the roof away from Daki's obi.
