Demon Slayer Manga Chapter 174

Genya’s Blood Demon Art finally gives the Demon Slayers a chance to stop Kokushibo. The trees growing from the bullets trap the Upper Rank One and leave him unable to move freely. As Gyomei, Sanemi, and Muichiro prepare to finish the battle, Kokushibo is suddenly reminded of a moment from his distant past.

In Demon Slayer Chapter 174, Kokushibo remembers meeting his younger brother Yoriichi again after sixty years. Even at the age of eighty, Yoriichi’s presence is overwhelming, and Kokushibo is shaken by the strength he still possesses. Yoriichi cuts his throat before Kokushibo can even react, but the legendary swordsman dies standing before he can deliver another strike. The memory leaves Kokushibo consumed by the jealousy and regret he has carried for centuries.
