Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 42

Nine legends, one bound boy, and a great deal of shouting. Demon Slayer Chapter 42 opens the Hashira meeting as the pillars debate Tanjiro’s fate: Rengoku demands a clean execution, Tengen wants something flamboyant, and Mitsuri mostly worries while blushing at everyone. Their voices agree on one point: rules were broken.

The Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, arrives carrying Nezuko’s box and draws his sword with a grin. He stabs straight through the wood, and Nezuko’s blood begins soaking the lid. Tanjiro, still bound, sees red in a way no demon has ever made him, and the garden goes very quiet.
