Episode 9 concludes Muichirou's story and showcases his triumph over Gyokko, an Upper Rank Six demon. The events of the episode reveal how Lady Amane and her team saved Muichirou in the past but failed to rescue Yuichirou, leading to his unfortunate demise. Subsequently, Muichirou is brought back to the Demon Slayer headquarters.
The battle between Muichirou and Gyokko ends abruptly: Muichirou defeats Gyokko with apparent ease. This outcome is unexpected, as a similar confrontation previously required the combined efforts of five individuals, including a Hashira, to defeat demons of a lower rank than Gyokko. The moment Muichirou attacks seriously, he swiftly beheads Gyokko.
Despite its lack of spectacle, Muichirou's decapitating strike against Gyokko exudes a cool intensity. The episode ends with Mitsuri making a dramatic entrance under the moonlight, skillfully deploying a dragon to fend off the others.
A pivotal moment in the episode is Kotetsu's revelation that it was Rengoku's subordinate who saved him. This scene provides insight into the relationship between Muichirou and Rengoku and also underscores Tanjirou's desire to honor Rengoku.
Following a recurring pattern, Mitsuri arrives at the last moment despite her injuries to prevent impending disasters. The upcoming battle between Mitsuri and Hantengu may prove challenging due to their differing personalities and Hantengu's higher rank. Muichirou, as a prodigy, achieved the Hashira rank at a young age, while Mitsuri took a different path to reach the same rank.
