Tanjiro unleashes the most powerful Hinokami Kagura of his life, pushing past his human limits and overwhelming Daki with fiery speed and precision. His rage, grief, and determination combine into a terrifying strength that finally shakes Daki’s confidence. 🔥⚔️

But the more Tanjiro pushes, the more his body collapses — blood, exhaustion, and strain slowly shutting him down. Just when he’s inches from killing Daki, his body gives out.
