Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 172

Demon Slayer Chapter 172 explores Kokushibo’s memories, revealing the jealousy and resentment he carried toward his younger brother, Yoriichi, and how those feelings shaped his pursuit of power. Meanwhile, Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa launch coordinated attacks as Genya’s crucial strike begins interfering with Kokushibo’s ability to regenerate. Although all three Demon Slayers are badly wounded, they continue pressing the attack without giving him a chance to recover. This chapter of Demon Slayer Manga leads into Demon Slayer Chapter 173, where the Hashira awaken their bright-red blades and the balance of the battle begins to change.
