Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 40

Grief makes Tanjiro do something reckless: he rests his hand near Rui’s fading remains and mourns him aloud. Demon Slayer Chapter 40 turns tense when Giyu steps on the demon’s fallen kimono, and Tanjiro protests that the defeated deserve better than to be trampled like rubbish beneath a slayer’s feet.

Before the argument grows, movement flashes behind them. Shinobu Kocho descends with her blade drawn, aimed not at any demon corpse, but at Nezuko herself. Giyu blocks the strike without hesitation, placing himself between the Hashira and the girl he once chose to spare. Two pillars now face each other over one demon.
