Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Tanjiro survives his fall but is confronted by Gyutaro, mocking his inability to protect anyone. He offers to transform him but Tanjiro responds by head-butting him, secretly stabbing him with a laced kunai and attempting to behead him once more. Daki intervenes but is attacked by Zenitsu with his fastest form. Gyutaro removes the kunai and recovers. Before he can kill Tanjiro, Tengen, who halted the poison's effects, intervenes, battling Gyutaro despite his wounds. Tanjiro reaches Gyutaro's neck but is stabbed in the jaw. His scar transforms into a fiery mark, giving him the strength to slice through. Zenitsu loses momentum without cutting Daki's neck when Inosuke appears, having survived Gyutaro's attack. The demons are beheaded simultaneously, but in the aftermath, Gyutaro’s body erupts in blood blades, destroying the city.
