Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 197

Muzan argues like a devil who knows every wound. He shows Tanjiro the faces of the dead and whispers that returning means living with loss, age, and grief. Staying a demon, he promises, means never hurting again. The temptation is gentle, reasonable, and absolutely poisonous.

Then other voices break in. Nezuko calls him home. Hands of friends, living and dead, reach through the darkness to pull him back, and Tanjiro chooses them, chooses pain, chooses life. Demon Slayer Chapter 197 is the moment the last demon in the story is defeated by a boy simply refusing to stop being human.
