Kimetsu no Yaiba manga has officially ended and it has shown the final battle against Muzan. The question is, who killed Muzan? In this article, we will explore the different scenarios that led to the downfall of Muzan.
Firstly, Muzan was overwhelmed and burned by the sun. Muzan Kibutsuji was attacked by the remaining members of the Demon Slayer Corps. The peak of the battle happened in chapter 199 when the sun began to rise. Muzan tried to escape but was restrained by Himejima’s chains. Unfortunately, the chains eventually broke before the sunrise, allowing Muzan to flee. However, Tanjiro’s sword then appeared and revealed that he was already absorbed by Muzan. Tanjiro was able to attack Muzan from within and ultimately, burn him with the sun.
Secondly, Tamayo and Shinobu made Muzan vulnerable. The final battle showed that the Demon Slayer Corps during Tanjiro’s era were still weak compared to Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the past. Muzan was too powerful to be defeated alone. It was revealed in chapter 193 that Tamayo and Shinobu collaborated to create layered medicine that slowed down Muzan’s movements and weakened his powers. Although Tamayo and Shinobu did not participate in the final battle, their efforts helped the Demon Slayer Corps defeat Muzan in the end.
Thirdly, Muzan shared his powers with Tanjiro. Before his death, Muzan gave Tanjiro all of his power and blood making Tanjiro a formidable demon. Tanjiro became so strong that even the sun could not kill him. In chapter 202, Kanao and Nezuko managed to help Tanjiro recover his humanity. Muzan tried to stop Tanjiro from becoming human again in chapter 203, but Tanjiro’s deceased comrades appeared in his mind and helped him resist. Eventually, Tanjiro woke up as a human again, and Muzan was permanently defeated.
In conclusion, the question of who killed Muzan in Kimetsu no Yaiba manga has different answers. Tanjiro burned him from the inside, Tamayo and Shinobu weakened him, and Tanjiro absorbed his powers but was later helped by Nezuko and Kanao to recover his humanity. All of these factors led to Muzan’s downfall. Despite the different scenarios, it was the collective efforts of the Demon Slayer Corps and their allies that ultimately defeated Muzan.
