Winded by his overexertion in combat, Tanjiro is vulnerable before Daki, who is still frozen in shock. She soon snaps out of it to deliver a finishing blow upon Tanjiro, but Nezuko appears out of nowhere to deliver a kick that scatters Daki’s head across the area, but it doesn’t kill her. Angered by Nezuko’s attack, Daki delivers a series of powerful blows upon Nezuko, leaving her bloodied and beaten. Nezuko’s on a mission, though, as she goes into full “Protect Tanjiro” mode, revealing a form we’ve never seen before.
Nezuko’s body is decorated by a vine-line similar to Daki’s face flowers or Akaza’s basketball look, and she has a horn growing out of the right side of her forehead. Her overall size increases, her bamboo gag falls away, revealing sharp fangs and an intimidating scowl. Nezuko means business in this fight, and her new appearance sends Daki into a fearful realization: Kamado Nezuko isn’t just a powerful demon, she’s at least at the level of an Upper Ranked Demon of Kibutsuji Muzan’s Twelve Demon Moons! There was already evidence of this—her Blood Demon Art. Daki’s appraisal comes at a time where we, the audience, have been reckoning with the true abilities of the Kamado siblings ever since Rengoku Shinjuurou, the father of Kyojuurou, made the observation that Tanjiro wears the mark of the Sun Breathers.
In her new form, Nezuko totally devastates Daki, kicking her bloody, and stomping her with a vengeance. Nezuko has totally lost her reason with this transformation, and the visual cues for this are her more feral appearance and evil smirk as she stomps Daki out like winemakers did grapes in the olden days. Nezuko’s regeneration abilities are several times more effective than Daki’s, and even having her head and limbs severed doesn’t stop the onslaught Nezuko unleashes upon her. Passed out from overexertion, Tanjiro sees visions of a younger sibling begging him to wake up and tend to Nezuko who, at this rate, “will cease to be herself”. Nezuko’s cruelty towards Daki intensifies when, after Daki uses her obi to slash Nezuko to literal pieces, Nezuko’s blood splatters on the unsuspecting demon. In the next instant, Daki bursts into flames, courtesy of Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art. The fight ends up destroying several buildings and some civilians get wrapped up in the chaos. With Daki beaten to a pulp, feral Nezuko’s attention turns to an injured civilian. Before Nezuko’s lunge reaches her target, Tanjiro manages to hold her back using his sheathed sword as a gag.
