Chapter Summaries

Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro arrived to find Sasuke protected by an overwhelming purple Susanoo, which left them both stunned. Daki’s rage escalated into a broad attack on everyone, while Sasuke remained focused on her and ignored Tengen.

• Tengen Uzui reached a rooftop and saw Sasuke standing inside a purple Susanoo that repelled Daki’s obi attacks.
• Tanjiro arrived and sensed Sasuke’s power as something beyond anything he had witnessed before.
• Tengen judged Sasuke to be an ally and announced his arrival, but Sasuke did not acknowledge him.
• Daki spotted Tengen and unleashed her obi indiscriminately at everyone on the battlefield.
• Tengen drew his twin blades and cut apart the obi aimed at him while Sasuke continued watching Daki in silence.

Sasuke let Daki’s attacks pass harmlessly by using his Mangekyō Sharingan to anticipate every move, humiliating her without striking back. Enraged, Daki unleashed a massive attack that threatened to destroy the Entertainment District, while Sasuke calmly faced the descending obi walls.

• Sasuke dismissed Susanoo and stood exposed as Daki assumed he had exhausted his strength.
• Sasuke precisely evaded Daki’s obi attacks, and Tengen Uzui recognized that Sasuke was anticipating every move.
• Daki realized Sasuke had been toying with her and erupted in humiliation and rage.
• Daki fused her obi into eight enormous walls and unleashed her Blood Demon Art: Eightfold Obi Slash across the Entertainment District.
• Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro warned others to flee as the attack threatened civilians, while Sasuke remained calm beneath the descending obi walls.

Sasuke used the Phoenix Flower Jutsu to burn through Daki’s Eightfold Obi Slash before it could destroy Yoshiwara’s homes, turning the attack into a shower of fiery fragments. Daki sent an Obi Clone after Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro, leaving her to face Sasuke alone.

• Sasuke precisely struck the eight descending obi with fireballs, burning holes through them and protecting the civilians.
• Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro stared in shock as the burning obi fragments lit up the night like fireworks.
• Humiliated by Sasuke’s effortless defense, Daki sent an Obi Clone to attack Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro.
• Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro fought the Obi Clone while Sasuke watched, preparing to test his newly obtained abilities against Daki.

Tengen Uzui and Tanjiro worked together to expose and pierce the core of an obi clone, slowing its regeneration. Underground, Inosuke was badly injured while protecting Makio, and the wormlike clone opened its mouth over them as they could no longer resist.

• Tengen Uzui blasted Daki's obi clone apart with Sound Breathing, but it regenerated almost instantly.
• Tanjiro blocked the clone's attacks from reaching nearby homes and spotted its exposed core during Uzui's barrage.

• The clone's snapping mouth broke Inosuke's blades and threw him and Makio into a wall, leaving them injured and unable to move.
• The clone opened its mouth over Inosuke and Makio as Inosuke thought of his companions and feared he would die before defeating Sasuke.

Uesugi Sasuke manifested a gigantic purple Susanoo over Yoshiwara, crushing the obi clone that had trapped Inosuke and Makio and terrifying everyone on the battlefield. He then targeted Daki, preparing to end the fight.

• A giant purple skeletal hand broke through the underground warehouse and crushed the obi clone threatening Inosuke and Makio.
• Inosuke and Makio saw Uesugi Sasuke standing within the enormous purple figure above them, and Inosuke's instincts urged him to flee.
• Sasuke's Susanoo expanded into a towering skeletal demon god rooted in the earth at the center of Yoshiwara.
• Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro, Daki, and the obi clone stopped fighting in shock and fear as the Susanoo appeared.
• Sasuke declared that the fight's tricks were over and raised the Susanoo's arm toward Daki.

Sasuke used Susanoo to overpower Daki and ordered Tengen Uzui and the others to evacuate beyond the battlefield. With Daki isolated, he formed a colossal sword of purple energy and covered it in Amaterasu, preparing to finish her.

• Sasuke told Tengen Uzui to lead the Corps members and civilians five hundred meters away, and Tengen reluctantly ordered the retreat.
• Daki attacked the fleeing civilians with her obi, but Susanoo swept them away before they could reach anyone.
• Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and the civilians watched from the safe zone as Daki abandoned resistance before Sasuke.
• Sasuke shaped a huge purple energy sword in Susanoo's hand using Kagutsuchi.
• Sasuke ignited Amaterasu along the sword, then raised the black-flamed blade and aimed it at Daki.

Sasuke used Susanoo and Amaterasu to overwhelm Daki, leaving her with a black scar that would not heal and severing most of her sashes. He cut off her head, but the chapter ended with her head sobbing and cursing him while her body remained intact.

• Daki unleashed her strongest sash attack, but Sasuke's Susanoo sliced through it with its black-flame sword.
• Amaterasu burned along the severed sashes, so Daki severed her connection to more than half of them and was left weakened with an unhealable black scar.
• Daki fled, but Sasuke struck her neck with the Amaterasu-wreathed blade and sent her head rolling onto a rooftop.
• Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu cheered, but Tengen Uzui noticed that Daki's body did not crumble or lose its demonic aura.
• Daki's severed head began sobbing and angrily accused Sasuke of hurting her face.

Sasuke and the Demon Slayers thought they had defeated Upper Rank Six, but Daki’s head remained alive and revealed that she was not the true Upper Rank Six. As she called for her brother, a far more terrifying demonic aura erupted from her headless body.

• Zenitsu and Inosuke celebrated the apparent victory, but Tanjiro sensed that Daki’s demonic scent had not faded.
• Sasuke kept watching Daki’s headless body as Tengen Uzui recalled clues that Upper Rank Six was associated with a brother and sister.
• Daki’s severed head opened its eyes and wept, angrily complaining that Sasuke had hurt her face and cut off her head.
• Tengen warned Sasuke that Daki was not the real Upper Rank Six and that another demon was emerging.
• Daki called out to her big brother, and a powerful, murderous demonic aura burst from her headless body.

Gyutaro emerged from Daki’s back as the true Upper Rank Six and attacked Sasuke’s Susanoo with overwhelming speed and force. As Tengen recognized the poison in a graze from Gyutaro’s strike, the battle took a more dangerous turn.

• Tengen warned that Daki was not the real Upper Rank Six and that the true demon was emerging.
• Gyutaro crawled out of Daki’s back, revealed himself as Upper Rank Six, and accused Sasuke of bullying his little sister.
• Gyutaro vanished and struck Susanoo, driving it backward and cracking its ribs.
• Tengen realized that a scratch from the attack had left his cheek numb and identified the poison.

Sasuke and Tengen Uzui fought Gyutaro and Daki, whose poisonous blood attacks overwhelmed them and exposed Uzui to poison. Sasuke shielded the poisoned Uzui with Susanoo’s newly awakened second stage, catching Gyutaro’s killing strike.

• Gyutaro’s blood-red scythe attack cracked Sasuke’s Susanoo and grazed Tengen Uzui, poisoning him.

• Sasuke warned Uzui about the siblings’ weakness, but poison blurred Uzui’s vision and slowed his movements.
• Gyutaro struck at Uzui’s heart, and Sasuke formed Susanoo’s second stage to catch the scythe in its giant hand.

Sasuke used Susanoo to restrain Gyutaro and fend off Daki, giving Tengen Uzui time to analyze their attacks by sound. Gyutaro broke free with a storm of spinning blood blades, but Tengen said he was close to completing his score and asked Sasuke to buy him more time.

• Sasuke's Susanoo trapped Gyutaro's blood scythe and blocked Daki's sashes, suppressing both Upper Rank Six siblings.

• Gyutaro unleashed Blood Demon Art: Circular Slashes: Rotating Sweep, forcing Susanoo to release him and defend against the blades.
• Tengen told Sasuke that his score was almost complete and asked him to keep fighting so they could coordinate their lightning and sound.

Sasuke used Susanoo to fight Gyutaro and Daki at once, then targeted Daki to break the stalemate. Gyutaro sacrificed his chance to attack Tengen Uzui to save his sister, and Tengen realized the siblings’ heads had to be severed simultaneously.

• Gyutaro’s poison corroded Susanoo’s hand, but it regenerated and kept him trapped.
• Daki reattached her head and sent her obi to harass Susanoo while Gyutaro remained caught.
• Sasuke released Gyutaro and redirected Susanoo’s hand toward Daki.
• Gyutaro abandoned Tengen Uzui and intercepted Susanoo’s attack, saving Daki.
• Tengen Uzui concluded that Gyutaro and Daki had to be beheaded at the same time.

Tengen Uzui’s wounds spread Gyutaro’s poison through his body, leaving him increasingly unable to fight as Sasuke struggled to shield him from Gyutaro and Daki. The chapter ended with Gyutaro exploiting a moment of paralysis to strike at Uzui’s unguarded heart.

• Tengen Uzui felt the poison from his cheek wound spread, blurring his vision and weakening his body.
• Gyutaro attacked Uzui, and Uzui barely blocked the poisoned sickle despite his delayed movements.
• Daki sent her sashes after Uzui, and one cut his calf, giving the poison another path into his body.
• Sasuke knocked Gyutaro back and destroyed most of Daki’s sashes, but he could not stop every attack.
• Uzui forced himself to keep fighting and said he would remain flashier than Gyutaro, but the poison briefly paralyzed his right arm.
• Gyutaro seized the opening and plunged his poisoned sickle toward Uzui’s unguarded heart.

Sasuke activated Susanoo’s second stage and stopped Gyutaro’s poisoned scythe just before it struck Tengen Uzui. With Gyutaro trapped in Susanoo’s grip, Sasuke asked whether Tengen had finished his score before he crushed the demon.

• As Gyutaro’s scythe neared Tengen Uzui’s chest, Sasuke warned that Gyutaro did not get to decide whether Tengen lived or died.
• Sasuke’s Susanoo grew flesh and muscle, transforming from a skeleton into a towering demonic half-body.
• Susanoo seized Gyutaro’s scythe in its bare hand, stopping the blade inches from Tengen.
• Gyutaro failed to pull his weapon free, while Daki and the distant Tanjiro, Inosuke, and others stared at Susanoo in terror.
• Sasuke told Tengen Uzui to finish his score before he crushed Gyutaro.

Sasuke used Susanoo to overpower Gyutaro and defend against Daki’s attacks, leaving the Upper Rank Six siblings unable to break through. As Tengen Uzui watched from behind Susanoo, Sasuke demanded to know whether his Musical Score was ready.

• Gyutaro failed to pull his Blood Scythe free from Susanoo’s grip, and fear appeared on his face.

• Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Tengen Uzui watched Sasuke suppress the siblings.
• Sasuke asked Tengen Uzui whether his Musical Score was ready and warned that he would die if he delayed.

As Tengen Uzui neared death and Sasuke’s Susanoo struggled to hold the Upper Rank Demons, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma decided to intervene. Hinatsuru fired their lethal wisteria-poisoned kunai at Gyutaro, leaving the attack’s outcome unknown.

• Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma watched Tengen Uzui bleed out while Sasuke’s Susanoo held the Upper Rank Demons at bay.
• Hinatsuru realized the stalemate would soon collapse and chose to use the wives’ poisoned kunai launcher.
• Makio steadied Hinatsuru’s arm, while Suma accepted Hinatsuru’s request to care for Tengen if she died.
• Hinatsuru aimed at Gyutaro and unleashed dozens of wisteria-poisoned kunai toward him.

Sasuke used Susanoo to pin Gyutaro as Hinatsuru’s wisteria-poisoned kunai struck and briefly slowed him. Tengen Uzui completed his Musical Score and charged at Gyutaro, ready to exploit the opening.

• Sasuke seized the moment Gyutaro prepared to break free and crushed his Blood Scythe arm in Susanoo’s grip.
• Hinatsuru’s poisoned kunai pierced Gyutaro, and the wisteria toxin briefly slowed his movements.
• Daki cried out and tried to rush to her brother’s aid.
• Tengen Uzui completed his Musical Score, having deciphered Gyutaro’s attacks and openings.
• Tengen Uzui charged at the temporarily paralyzed Gyutaro and called for a duet with the Thunder Hashira.

• Sasuke raised Susanoo’s arm and gathered blue lightning for the final movement.

Inosuke and Zenitsu teamed up to keep Daki from reaching Gyutaro, repeatedly cutting through her Obi and suppressing her Blood Demon Art. The chapter left Daki trapped between them, unable to reach her brother’s battlefield.

• After hearing Tengen Uzui’s declaration, Daki abandoned Tanjiro and sent her Obi toward Gyutaro.
• Inosuke charged Daki while Zenitsu cut apart the Obi aimed at him, allowing Inosuke to keep her occupied.
• Zenitsu repeatedly severed Daki’s Obi as Inosuke pressed his attack, preventing her from breaking away.
• Daki unleashed Eightfold Obi Slash, but Inosuke shredded the Obi in front of him while Zenitsu’s Sixfold Strike tore a gap through the attack.
• Daki found herself wounded and pinned between Inosuke and Zenitsu, unable to reach Gyutaro.

Tengen Uzui completed his Musical Score and pushed Gyutaro to unleash a deadly area attack that hid a lethal strike. Uesugi Sasuke used Amenotejikara to displace Tengen out of danger and into position behind Gyutaro, where Tengen prepared to strike.

• Tengen Uzui used his Musical Score to read Gyutaro’s attacks and fight through the Flying Blood Scythe.
