Sleep Recovery

After becoming a demon, Nezuko spent two years modifying her body in her sleep, eventually becoming able to restore her strength through sleep. Therefore, Nezuko no longer needs to eat people to regain her strength, and thus she can suppress her demonic instincts.

After becoming a demon, Nezuko possesses the same excellent physical attributes and powerful regenerative abilities as ordinary demons, as well as a dislike of sunlight, and can freely control her body to grow larger or smaller. However, because she received the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji, Nezuko is very different from ordinary demons: if she gradually loses control due to emotions such as anger, Nezuko will continuously unleash her demonic nature, intensifying her Demonization. Her strength and regenerative abilities will greatly increase, but her rationality will completely disappear, thus she will not suppress her cannibalistic nature as a demon. She usually uses kicks to fight, and occasionally uses claws and teeth.

This is Nezuko's most basic state after she transforms into a demon.

It grew demonic fangs, and its pupils turned into pale pink double rings.

In this state, the regenerative ability of the demon is only slightly higher than that of a normal demon, and it is a state with relatively low physical exertion.

Nezuko's state after deliberately shrinking her body.

Their bodies shrunk to the size of a three- or four-year-old child. Although they were agile, their legs were shorter, so they didn't move very fast.

Because it is not suitable for combat, it is only used in situations outside of combat, such as when staying in a box.

The half- Demonization liberation is a state in which the body is further Demonization, based on the demon's instinct.

When the body reaches the age of 19 or 20, small demon horns grow on the forehead, and the limbs are covered with willow-shaped patterns.

In this state, attack power and speed are greatly increased, and regeneration ability far exceeds that of a normal demon, but one can still barely maintain one's sanity. Stamina consumption is high, but not excessively so.

When Nezuko is completely consumed by anger, she abandons her reason and undergoes a rapid Demonization.

Her body grew to the size of a woman in her twenties, with complete demon horns growing on her head and willow-like patterns covering her entire body.

In this state, the desire to fight and the destructive power are extremely strong, and the regenerative ability even surpasses that of some Upper Moon Demons. Even if the body is torn to pieces, it can be easily fixed and restored with blood.

At the same time, their attack power and speed will continue to increase as the Demonization continues, and they will also be able to easily and continuously unleash Blood Demon Art.

However, correspondingly, since fully transforming into Demonization consumes an abnormal amount of physical energy, and at this time, one becomes extremely ferocious due to the loss of rationality and the presence of only anger, it is very likely that one will be unable to control one's demonic instincts and attack humans.

Nezuko's state before she became a demon.

She has a gentle and sensible personality and is very considerate of her family. Tanjiro says she is a beautiful woman who is highly regarded in town.

Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood causes the user's blood to explode at will, generating intense flames that burn the target. It has the unique characteristic of "only burning what it wants to burn," and possesses the power to destroy the opponent's Blood Demon Art formulas or poisons. It can also severely burn demons and temporarily prevent them from regenerating.

When the flames generated by burning blood adhere to the Nichirin Sword, they can transform it into a burning blade—the "Crimson Blade".

However, because it consumes a large amount of the user's blood, which is the source of their power as a demon, it cannot be used frequently.

(Ordinary demons cannot use Blood Demon Art without eating humans to enhance their abilities, but Nezuko is the only one who can activate it through her own willpower.)

Nezuko Kamado is a member of the Kamado Family, a family of charcoal sellers, and the eldest daughter. Her family includes her mother, Kie Kamado, her older brother, Tanjiro, her three younger brothers, Takeo Kamado, Rokuta Kamado, and Rokuta, and her younger sister, Delia. Since their father, Tanjuro Kamado, passed away at a young age, while her older brother Tanjiro Kamado supported the family by selling charcoal, Nezuko, as the eldest sister, took on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings and helping her widowed mother with household chores.

One day, after her older brother Tanjiro Kamado went down the mountain to sell charcoal, the Kamado family was attacked by Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons. Nezuko became the sole survivor of the massacre of the Kamado family. During the attack, while protecting her younger brother Rokuta Kamado, Nezuko was attacked by Muzan and Muzan got Muzan's blood on her wound, which ultimately turned her into a "man-eating demon".

When Tanjiro returned from selling charcoal, he discovered that his entire family had been brutally murdered, except for Nezuko still had body heat. To save his sister, Tanjiro decided to carry her severely injured body down the mountain to find a doctor. However, Nezuko, having expended a great deal of energy healing her wounds while unconscious, was driven by her demonic instincts to crave human blood. She went berserk and attacked Tanjiro, causing them both to tumble down a snowy slope. Nezuko then lunged at Tanjiro, but he held her firmly with his axe. Finally, after Tanjiro 'Tanjiro repeated calls, Nezuko regained some of her Tanjiro and recognized him as her brother.

While reason still prevailed, at that very moment, Giyu Tomioka, the Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, who was on his way to an inn on a mission, happened to encounter the brother and sister while passing through the snowy mountains. Without a word, Giyu Tomioka grabbed Nezuko, who was a demon, intending to kill her, while Tanjiro desperately begged for his sister's life, only to be Giyu Tomioka by Giyu instead. After being Giyu Tomioka, Nezuko kept trying to break free. However, when she saw her brother being knocked unconscious by Giyu Tomioka while trying to save her, Nezuko, after a brief moment of surprise, immediately broke free from Giyu Tomioka's grasp and shielded her brother behind her to protect him.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, Giyu Tomioka recalled witnessing a demon devour its own blood relative and wondered if Nezuko might be different. Ultimately, Giyu Tomioka decided to spare Nezuko because he believed the siblings might be different. However, to prevent Nezuko from biting anyone, Giyu Tomioka knocked Nezuko unconscious and gagged her with a homemade bamboo stick.

However, after Nezuko regained consciousness, although she still recognized Tanjiro, she did not regain her human consciousness, and her intelligence and behavior had completely regressed to the level of a toddler, and she became unable to speak.

Afterwards, Giyu Tomioka introduced Tanjiro to his master Sakonji Urokodaki, who lived on Mount Sagiri. Tanjiro then put his sister, who could now freely change her size, into a bamboo basket to avoid the sun and headed towards Mount Sagiri.

While passing a Buddhist temple, the brother and sister unexpectedly encountered a man-eating demon. To protect her brother, Nezuko resisted the temptation of the blood inside the temple, kicked the demon's head off, and together with her brother, pushed its body off a cliff. Afterwards, with the Sakonji Urokodaki, who came to their rescue, the two siblings headed to Mount Sagiri.

During the two years that Tanjiro Sakonji Urokodaki the selection arc, Nezuko went into a deep sleep in order to break free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control. In the process, she gradually modified her body and eventually succeeded in making herself able to replenish her energy by sleeping.

At the same time, in order to ensure that Nezuko would never harm humans, Sakonji Urokodaki gave her a suggestion, causing Nezuko to subconsciously regard all humans as her family and demons as enemies to be driven away.

When her brother completed the Final Selection and returned to Mount Sagiri, Nezuko had just gotten up and kicked open the door to greet him. Upon seeing Tanjiro collapsed from exhaustion, Nezuko immediately ran over and hugged her long-lost brother. Then, after shrinking her body and squeezing into a specially made box by Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro Tanjiro accompanied him on his mission.

Later, Tanjiro uncovered the truth behind the girl's disappearance in a nearby town. When Tanjiro faced the mastermind, Swamp Demon, Nezuko appeared from a box behind him at a crucial moment and kicked the Swamp Demon away. Afterwards, when Tanjiro went to kill the Swamp Demon's true form, he protected Mr. Kazumi and Tokie. Kazumi, who had been kidnapped by the Swamp Demon, due to Sakonji Urokodaki's psychological suggestion.

While traveling with her brother to Asakusa, Nezuko was temporarily left at Mr. Toyo's udon stall because Tanjiro smelled Muzan's scent. Because her mouth was gagged with a bamboo stick and she wasn't eating noodles, Mr. Toyo found Nezuko strange. Later, Nezuko and her brother went to the residence of Tamayo and Yushiro, demons who were enemies of Muzan. Since Udon and Yushiro only consumed small amounts Tamayo purchased human blood instead of eating human flesh, Nezuko treated them as humans and felt no hostility.

When facing the two demons, Yahaba and Susamaru, sent by Muzan to assassinate Tanjiro, Nezuko Muzan stalled Susamaru, buying Tanjiro time. After Tanjiro successfully killed Yahaba, Tamayo used her Blood Demon Art to force Susamaru to utter a forbidden phrase, then caused her to self-destruct. At the same time, Nezuko, having inhaled the scent of Tamayo's Blood Demon Art, fell into an abnormal state. Finally, when Tamayo begged Tanjiro to leave his sister behind to ensure her safety, Nezuko instinctively grabbed her brother's hand. Although Nezuko was unable to speak, Tanjiro fully understood—his sister didn't want to be separated from him again.

In the Drum Mansion arc, Tanjiro was taken by his older brother to the Drum Mansion on a mission. Outside the Drum Mansion, Tanjiro left the box containing Nezuko outside to protect Shoichi and Teruko, entrusting it to their care. However, not long after, Nezuko made a noise inside the box, which frightened the two children, causing them to run into the Drum Mansion.

After Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira escaped the Drum Mansion, Inosuke Hashibira almost chopped open a box because he smelled his own scent inside. Fortunately, Zenitsu stopped Inosuke Hashibira.

After the group arrived at the Wisteria House, Nezuko climbed out of the box before everyone went to bed, and Zenitsu immediately fell in love with her. Because Zenitsu kept following her, Nezuko hid behind her brother in an attempt to shake Zenitsu off, but it didn't work.

When her brother was nearly killed by Lower Moon Five Rui, Nezuko bravely ran out of the box and shielded him from Rui's threads, sustaining cuts in the process. Rui, then pursuing his so-called "family bond," attempted to steal Nezuko from Tanjiro and make her his sister. When Tanjiro refused, Nezuko was bound upside down by Rui's threads and left unable to move, suffering severe cuts from the threads.

However, in order to recover from her injuries, Nezuko chose to enter a deep sleep in this state to regain her strength. Later, when Tanjiro recalled his father's Kagura and Hinokami Kagura Breathing, and planned to use Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky to take Rui down with him, Nezuko subconsciously saw the spirit of her mother, Kie Kamado, calling out to her repeatedly.

Ultimately, Nezuko awoke at her mother's request and completed her Awakening. She unleashed her Blood Demon Art, Exploding Blood, for the first time, successfully burning away Rui's threads and neutralizing his attack. At the same time, she imbued Tanjiro's broken Nichirin Sword with her burning blood, transforming it into Crimson Blade. This ultimately helped her brother successfully sever Rui's neck. However, Rui survived by cutting his own neck with his threads before being beheaded.

After Rui was killed by Giyu Tomioka, who arrived to provide support, Nezuko was spared because Giyu Tomioka recognized her. However, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, arrived shortly afterward and attempted to kill Nezuko.

Just then, Giyu Tomioka stepped forward and stopped Shinobu, demanding that Tanjiro immediately take Nezuko and escape. During the escape, Tanjiro Kanao Tsuyuri, who arrived at the scene. Although Nezuko was worried about her brother, she was forced to escape because of his last words before he fell unconscious.

Although Nezuko initially dodged Kanao Tsuyuri's attacks by shrinking her body, she was quickly overtaken by Kanao Tsuyuri due to her reduced speed. However, due to the orders of the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Tanjiro and Nezuko were eventually taken back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters for trial.

During the Hashira Trial, Nezuko was repeatedly stabbed by Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Pillar, who was trying to force out her demonic instincts. Although Nezuko was furious at Sanemi Shinazugawa's cruelty, she knew she couldn't harm humans, so she didn't retaliate. In the end, Nezuko withstood Sanemi Shinazugawa's extremely Rare Blood and gained the Master's approval, successfully becoming a member of the Demon Slayer Corps as a demon.

After being taken to the Butterfly Mansion, Nezuko was suffering from sleep deprivation due to her previous injuries, continued to sleep to recover in order to heal her wounds.

After Tanjiro and the others finished their physical rehabilitation training, Nezuko was taken to the Mugen Train by her brother. Because she hid in a box, Nezuko successfully evaded paying the fare and also avoided being affected by Lower Moon One Enmu's Blood Demon Art.

Later, while Tanjiro and the others were hypnotized by Enmu, Nezuko woke up. Although she was puzzled by the ropes binding everyone's hands, which contained Enmu's Blood Demon Art, she still tried to wake her brother because she wanted him to touch her head. In an attempt to wake her brother, Nezuko tried to rouse him with her Headbutt, but instead of waking him, she was injured and bled from Tanjiro head. Immediately, Nezuko cried out in pain, but unconsciously activated her Blood Demon Art, thereby weakening Enmu's Blood Demon Art and allowing Tanjiro to wake up from his dream.

Nezuko then awakens Zenitsu, Inosuke Hashibira, and the Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku. Kyojuro Rengoku then orders her Zenitsu to protect the passengers from Enmu, who has merged with the train, until dawn.

Ultimately, Kyojuro Rengoku was fatally wounded by Upper Moon Three, Akaza, but before his death, he acknowledged Kyojuro Rengoku 'Nezuko desperate act of protecting the passengers.

Nezuko was taken by her brother to follow the Sound Tengen Uzui, on a mission to the Yoshiwara Entertainment District. To avoid being seen, she hid in a box on Tanjiro's back. When her brother fainted due to overuse of the Hinokami Kagura and was nearly killed by Upper Moon Daki, Nezuko arrived in time and kicked Daki away.

Because Nezuko sensed a large amount of Muzan's cells from Daki, she unconsciously recalled the tragic scene of her family being slaughtered by Muzan and began to be completely dominated by anger. Nezuko eventually underwent a rapid Demonization, gaining overwhelming power and incredibly strong regenerative abilities. With the help of the Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood, she once overwhelmed Daki to the point of being unable to resist.

However, Nezuko, due to the immense physical exhaustion caused by her Demonization, could no longer suppress her demonic instincts and attempted to attack humans. Just then, Tanjiro, who had been unconscious, was awakened by the spirit of his younger brother Takeo Kamado, who then stepped in to stop Nezuko from turning into a man-eating demon and sang her favorite lullaby from her childhood.

Hearing the lullaby, Nezuko was reminded of fond memories of her childhood with her mother. Then, her mother's spirit appeared in Nezuko's subconscious, restoring her sanity. Finally, Nezuko cried as she shed her Demonization, shrunk, and fell into a deep sleep until the battle ended.

After Gyutaro and Daki were defeated, Nezuko awoke and cleansed her brother of all the poison from his body, caring for him until he regained consciousness. Then, Nezuko carried her severely wounded brother through the ruins of Yoshiwara and arrived before the others. Nezuko then used her Blood Demon Art to burn away the Blood Scythe poison from Tengen and Inosuke Hashibira, allowing them to survive. During this time, the effects of the Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood were so unlike anything she had done to save lives that they terrified Tengen's three wives.

In the Swordsmith Village arc, Tanjiro's Nichirin Sword was damaged multiple times during battles, causing his Tanjiro, Hotaru Haganezuka, to refuse to forge him a new sword. As a result, Nezuko was taken to the Swordsmith Village by her brother.

Upon arriving in the village, Nezuko quickly became good friends with the friendly Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji. Later, while her brother went to train with Kotetsu using the "Yoriichi Type Zero," Nezuko stayed in her room to sleep.

While Muichiro Tokito was asking Tanjiro about the whereabouts of Kozo Kanamori, Nezuko suddenly awoke after sensing the presence of a demon. She and the two then encountered Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, who had entered the room. Although Nezuko initially began to unconsciously Demonization due to the even stronger scent of Muzan's cells emanating from Hantengu than Daki's Tanjiro, Tanjiro stopped her. Ultimately, Nezuko managed to control her Demonization, maintaining a level of sanity that allowed her to fight.

After Hantengu split into four clones— Sekido, Karaku, Urogi, and Aizetsu— Nezuko was tasked with fighting Karaku. Because Karaku maintained a playful attitude, she never took Nezuko seriously. After being kicked through the body by Karaku, Nezuko not only quickly recovered but also retaliated by breaking Karaku's neck.

Nezuko then stole the Blood Demon Art from her opponent, activated the medium fan, and used it to create a strong wind that blew away the Karaku. However, Nezuko was immediately attacked by the Sekido Tanjiro, who had already defeated Urogi, but Tanjiro arrived in time to save Nezuko.

However, the brother and sister were immediately attacked by Hantengu's other three clones. In the end, the two siblings were severely injured by the hurricane blown by Cola's Karaku when he returned. However, Nezuko quickly woke up thanks to her regenerative ability and escaped with her brother. Finally Nezuko used her Blood Demon Art to transform her brother's Nichirin Sword into a burning blade - "Crimson Blade", helping him to successfully severely injure Hantengu's clones.

After Hantengu's clones merged into "Zohakuten," the Kamado siblings and Genya Shinazugawa were completely overwhelmed and unable to move by the multiple Blood Demon Art used by the opponent. Mitsuri, who had rushed back, arrived to provide support and successfully saved everyone. Mitsuri then took charge of holding off Zohakuten, while the Kamado siblings and Genya Shinazugawa went to pursue Hantengu's main body, "Kei."

Miraculously, after Hantengu's fifth incarnation, "Hatred," appeared, Genya Shinazugawa and Nezuko arrived together to save Tanjiro from his struggle with Tanjiro. However, dawn was approaching, and Nezuko was about to be exposed to sunlight. Tanjiro was torn between protecting his sister and saving the villagers. Ultimately, Nezuko made the decision for her brother. Deciding to help save the villagers, she threw her brother towards the swordsmiths who were about to be harmed by Hantengu, helping him successfully behead Hantengu, while she herself was severely burned by the oncoming sunlight.

But then, a miracle occurred. Although Nezuko had initially suffered great harm from the sunlight, the situation suddenly changed: not only did Nezuko injuries completely disappear, but she also began to regain her ability to speak, and even successfully overcame the demon's most fatal weakness—sunlight. Tanjiro, seeing his sister safe and sound, hugged her tightly and wept with joy. However, because Hantengu had revealed before his death that Nezuko had overcome the sunlight, she became Muzan 'Nezuko target.

Because Nezuko Inosuke Hashibira her her name through a rote learning method.

While playing with the three little kids from the Butterfly Mansion, Nezuko is proposed to by Zenitsu, who has just returned from a mission. However, because Nezuko has only learned to call Inosuke Hashibira by his name, Zenitsu is extremely annoyed and prepares to teach Inosuke Hashibira.

While Tanjiro was away attending training with the Hashira Training, he asked Tanjiro Nezuko. However, Tanjiro was still worried on his way to training that Nezuko might feel lonely without him by her side.

In the Infinity Castle arc, after the final battle in the Infinity Castle began, Nezuko took a medicine developed by Tamayo that could turn demons back into humans and was hidden by Sakonji Urokodaki to prevent Muzan from finding her.

As the battle in the Infinity Castle progressed, the Demon Slayer Corps, after defeating all Twelve Kizuki, engaged in a final showdown with Muzan.

During the battle, Tanjiro was attacked by Muzan while fighting alongside Giyu Tomioka. Muzan then used a blood-stained weapon to pierce Tanjiro's eye and took the Muzan to inject a large amount of demon blood into his body.

Because of the death of Upper Moon Four Nakime, the Blood Demon Art that maintained the Infinity Castle also failed, and the Infinity Castle burst out of the ground, Muzan and the Demon Slayer Corps to the surface. Just as Tanjiro was about to help Giyu Tomioka and the others attack Muzan, the large amount of Muzan's blood in Tanjiro's body gradually destroyed the cells in his body. In the end, Tanjiro was poisoned and fell into a near-death state before losing consciousness.
