In the final episode of the season, the events primarily focus on the decisive battle against Hantengu as well as some intriguing revelations about the backstory of Nezuko and Muzan.
The episode begins with the continuation of the intense battle against Hantengu, one of the Twelve Demon Moons. In this fight, Hashira Mitsuri joins forces with Tanjirou, Nezuko, and Genya. During the battle, Tanjirou surprisingly awakens a new ability—using a Sun Breathing version of Thunder Breathing—which helps him combat Hantengu's final form, the Demon of Resentment.
The second major event during the battle occurs when Tanjirou is forced to choose between saving his sister Nezuko, who is exposed to the rising sun, and rescuing some villagers being pursued by Hantengu. Although Tanjirou initially tries to save Nezuko, she pushes him away to instead rescue the villagers. Miraculously, Nezuko survives exposure to sunlight, revealing her unprecedented ability as a demon to withstand sunlight.
Aside from Nezuko's newfound resistance to daylight, another notable development is that she can now speak in short sentences, albeit not very fluently. This raises the question of whether Nezuko's sunlight resistance is an innate ability or one that has developed over time. Additionally, it is known that Nezuko's blood has a unique property that helps demons retain their self-awareness, a fact previously observed in Lady Tamayo's experiments.
The episode concludes with an insightful glimpse into Muzan's backstory, taking viewers a thousand years back to when Muzan was a wealthy human suffering from a debilitating illness. Muzan's personal physician administered a treatment called the Blue Spider Lily, which allowed him to walk in sunlight. However, when Muzan did not recover, he killed the doctor, believing him to be a fraud. Afterward, Muzan's condition worsened, and he eventually transformed into the demon viewers know today. The audience learns that Muzan's primary goal is to find a cure for his demonic condition, and this quest also involves searching for a demon who can withstand sunlight.
Overall, the episode leaves viewers with many questions for the upcoming season.
