This makes her unique to other demons , but the manga never actually explained why Nezuko was immune to sunlight , not even in any databooks , making it one of the biggest unresolved enigma by the end of the serial .

TheDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaibamanga never excuse Nezuko ’s resistance to sunlight , but the anime might have answered it by show Tamayo ’s psychoanalysis of her blood inDemon Slayer’sseason 3 finale .

It ’s shown that Nezuko ’s line of descent has blue element to it , and since the Blue Spider Lily has the top executive to bring around Muzan of his weakness to sunlight , the anime could be hinting that Nezuko ’s immunity come from the Blue Spider Lily .

Nezuko’s Sunlight Immunity in Demon Slayer is Tied to the Blue Spider Lily

Nezuko having eaten the Blue Spider Lily could explain her immunity to sunlight , andDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaibahas already justified it . According to the second official databook , the Blue Spider Lily bloomed near the Kamado crime syndicate ’s home , with Tanjiro being testify its locating by his mother . The same databook also says that Tanjiro was the only child to ever see them flower , but that does n’t mean his siblings never saw them .

The final episode of Demon Slayer ’s Swordsmith Village arc has revealed a new fact about Nezuko that will radically alter effect from this degree on .

This possibility could also excuse one of the final twists of theDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaibamanga . import before his decease , Muzan sour Tanjiro into a devil to try and keep his legacy alive . Just like Nezuko , Tanjiro was immune to sunlight with small account other than him being Nezuko ’s chum . But assuming Nezuko ’s unsusceptibility come from run through the Blue Spider Lily , Tanjiro ’s unsusceptibility could have the same explanation , adding system of logic to what was otherwise a pair of ill explained plot twists .

What Nezuko’s Sunlight Immunity Means for the Next Seasons of Demon Slayer

With Nezuko ’s immunity to the sunshine now an undecided secret known to Muzan , it place a aim on Nezuko ’s back , even more so than there was previously . protect Nezuko from Muzan and his minions will become a key task to ensure the ultimate triumph of the Demon Slayers , as Muzan may be capable to repeat Nezuko ’s feat if he ’s capable to get a hold of her , and either experiment upon her or even ingest her into himself like he ’s done with certain other ogre .

Nezuko has go from a mere anomaly to one of the key piece on the chessboard between the Slayers and the devil , too valuable to reserve to fall into the wrong manus . That means that kick the bucket to any lengths to protect her may be called for , even if that means many of the human Demon Slayers have to die to protect her . give she hold what Muzan has seek for so long , he ’s also belong to be willing to go to extremes to obtain her , mean the terminal battle is just around the nook .

Demon Slayer ’s last battle is certain to be an ugly and cruel matter , as many of the strongest ogre are still out there and still loyal to Muzan . Given the price that ’s been paid to defeat some of the late Upper Rank fiend , there ’s likely to be a expectant amount of death necessitate on both side of the conflict .

What Other Mysteries Should Demon Slayer’s Anime Address?

Demon Slayeris fairly fast with its mysteries , as most have been explained in the manga serial proper . One of the openhanded remaining is how Nezuko was able to retain some color of her humanity after becoming a demon , and resist attacking humanity , something that even Lady Tamayo was n’t able to do . It ’s potential that the answer to this is the same as the answer to her sunlight unsusceptibility : exposure to the Blue Spider Lily . Still , this could support to be confirmed within the serial .

There are a few other questions that the anime could take the time to resolve which the manga didn’t . The nature of the Demon Slayer Marks , run into in season 3 of the Zanzibar copal , for example — what kinship do these marks have to demons ? Did they survive prior to the existence of demons , and were simply fabulously hard to attain?Unfortunately , the graphic symbol only have some twisted rumors from the past and Muichiro ’s report card on the condition needed to trigger off the mark , but a full account could potentially be offer by someone like Muzan or Lady Tamayo .

Something else that might be worth exploring is Genya Shinazugawa ’s white plague of demon flesh to gain unholy power . How did Genya first find out of this ability ? Did anyone practise it before him ? It seems like it would be extremely advantageous to Demon Slayers to do this , but the manga also seems to indicate this mightiness comes at a toll . Was there someone before Genya who did this , whose fate proved it to be a mistake ?

Demon Slayer’s Tanjiro Freaking Out

Demon Slayer’s Blue Spider Lily Makes Muzan’s Failure Even Better

The Kamado family recognize where the Blue Spider Lily bloom can excuse how Nezuko was immune to sun , and it also add together more depth to Muzan ’s failure . In the last chapter ofDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba , it ’s revealed that the Blue Spider Lily only blossom a few meter a year during the day , meaning that Muzan drop centuries looking for something physically impossible for him to obtain . The irony of that becomes even stronger if Tanjiro and Nezuko gained the tycoon Muzan sought thanks to the humanness Muzan despised .

The one known as Muzan Kibutsuji is the progenitor of all the demons in Demon Slayer , but how did he stop up as a fiend in the first position ?

That irony highlights Muzan ’s biggest fault : his dead scorn for humanity . Muzan was never able to sympathize the value of humanity , and unlike other demons , he took his hate to the grave accent as his last gambit fell apart in front of him . So if Tanjiro and Nezuko survive partly due to the Blue Spider Lily , which they only had because of their human race , that level deal to be sell even further . It all adds depth toDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba , and the gum anime going even further to explicate Nezuko ’s power is a shrewish mystery , well - figure out .
