The blood-colored threads formed a cage, trapping Tanjiro.
Tanjiro had nowhere to run. He was surrounded from above, and he instinctively sensed the blood-colored threads in front of him.
Not enough rotations. He couldn't cut through these threads at all.
He was going to die! He was going to lose! Even though he absolutely could not lose.
At this moment, countless people felt Tanjiro's sense of despair.
Looking at the desperate Tanjiro, Kibutsuji Muzan showed a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his current feeling of despair.
Yes, it should be like this.
Rui, you did very well, letting this arrogant kid experience what despair feels like.
Centered on Tanjiro's red eyes, countless memory fragments slowly floated out.
"Is this that boy's memory?"
"When a person is on the brink of death, they experience a revolving lantern of memories. That boy is trying to find a way to break this situation from his past memories. He has been pushed to his limit."
"No matter what, he is still just a child who just joined the corps."
The Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps said this. They felt a bit sorry for Tanjiro. He was just a child who had recently joined, yet he had to fight a member of the Twelve Moons, a being who had lived for who knows how long.
How unfair this is.
Finally, a scene appeared. It was a scene of a young Tanjiro playing with Nezuko.
This scene stunned everyone. The change in art style was so fast that they were caught off guard.
One second they were in a life-and-death battle, and now they were immersed in happy memories of the past?
"Ah~~ Young Nezuko-chan is so cute too~~"
Only Agatsuma Zenitsu's focus was a bit off. He looked at the young Nezuko, his body wriggling like a maggot.
This left Tanjiro's face full of helplessness, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say to him.
The perspective slowly shifted. A man who looked sickly sat there, looking tenderly at the young Tanjiro and Nezuko. He said softly, "Tanjiro, perform the breathing, adjust your breath, and let yourself become Hinokami-sama completely."
"Thump!"
In the video, Tanjiro's heart beat. He seemed to have thought of something.
The scene shifted once more. This time it was in a forest at night. Snow was falling heavily, and flaming torches were stuck in the ground.
In the center, a person wearing ceremonial clothes and holding a wooden Seven-Branched Sword was dancing in the heavy snow.
It was also at this time that the BGM quietly began to play. It was a gentle female voice singing.
(BGM: Kamado Tanjiro no Uta)
"Tanjiro, look, it's Father's Kagura. Because our family works with fire, it's to prevent injuries and disasters."
"At the beginning of the year, we offer a dance to Hinokami-sama as a prayer."
Beside him, Tanjiro's mother was explaining, but most people fixed their eyes on Tanjiro's father.
"This technique!!!!!!"
Kokushibo, who was always very calm, widened his eyes. He was someone from the Sengoku era and could naturally tell at a glance who that technique originated from.
!!!!!
Inside the Infinity Castle, Kibutsuji Muzan's body trembled once more. His pupils shook as he looked at the 'dancing' man and gritted his teeth, saying, "There's actually a fish that slipped through the net!!!!"
If one were to ask who knew Sun Breathing best...
It would definitely be Kibutsuji Muzan. After all, he had once fought against the creator of Sun Breathing—Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Thus, he was quite familiar with the opponent's attack moves. Even after many years, Kibutsuji Muzan still remembered them.
Because of this, after Tsugikuni Yoriichi's death, Kibutsuji Muzan went mad, hunting down anyone who knew about Sun Breathing with all his might.
As long as someone knew Sun Breathing, he would send people to kill them. Therefore, most of the Demon Slayer Corps, even the Hashira, did not know about the existence of Sun Breathing.
As for Flame Breathing? That kind of thing couldn't threaten him at all.
"That is... a sword technique."
At the Night Raid Headquarters, Akame, who was eating roasted meat, suddenly spoke up, "This is not a Dance."
"A sword technique?" Tatsumi looked quite confused. He looked at Akame and said, "This doesn't look like a sword technique."
"A sword technique hidden within a Dance?" The muscular man with the 'pompadour' was also watching the video. He seemed to have discovered something as well and marveled, "This is truly impressive. I almost got fooled. As expected of Akame."
"A sword technique hidden within a Dance... Could it be? Did that boy breakthrough his predicament by remembering his father's Dance?"
The boss of Night Raid, Najenda, saw this scene and immediately understood. This was likely the meaning of the title.
Tanjiro uses Sun Breathing for the first time to save his sister!
At the same time, a bold thought flashed through her mind. The water dragon Tanjiro summoned just now might not be because of the weapon in his hand, but a technique!
While Najenda was thinking like that, the scene shifted again.
Tanjiro asked his father why he could Dance in such cold weather despite his body being so weak.
Kamado Tanjuro stroked young Tanjiro's head and said in a very gentle tone, "There is a way of breathing. A breathing method that allows you to move without ever getting tired."
"Breathing?" Young Tanjiro was confused.
"That's right." Kamado Tanjuro nodded slightly and continued, "As long as you can breathe correctly, Tanjiro can Dance forever, and the cold will become nothing."
Young Tanjiro nodded as if he understood but didn't quite grasp his father's meaning.
Kamado Tanjuro looked into the distance, as if seeing the future, and continued softly, "Tanjiro, this Kagura and these earrings, you must pass them down. Do not let them be interrupted."
"It's a promise."
When Kamado Tanjuro's words fell, the screen went slightly black.
Then, Tanjiro's figure appeared on the screen, trapped in a cage of silk threads. He seemed to remember something, and his gaze became very firm.
He inhaled, adjusting his breathing. The water dragon surrounding him turned into a fire dragon in an instant!
"Hinokami Kagura! Dance!"
Tanjiro swung forward with an arc-shaped slash wrapped in flames, directly cutting through the blood-colored silk threads trapping him.
From this moment on, the background BGM became louder, no longer soft as before.
"So cool—!!!!!! Tanjiro!!! You're so cool!!!"
Agatsuma Zenitsu saw this scene and felt something burning inside him. Is this the meaning of the title?!
Ten Most Epic Scenes!! It really is epic!! It made him want to do something.
Then Agatsuma Zenitsu picked up the 'medicine' next to him and drank it without a word. Then he rolled his eyes, almost dying from the bitterness.
"So cool." Inosuke was also staring at the screen. He watched Tanjiro break out from the blood-red silk threads and truly felt his blood boiling.
He now wished he could replace the Tanjiro in the video and fight that Twelve Moons member.
