Chapter 41

Shinobu Kocho (しのぶ) is the forty-first chapter of Koyoharu Gotōge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary
After previously being dismissed by Rui, the Older Sister Spider Demon can be seen dashing through the forest in a panic. Her thoughts are jumbled as she tries to think of a plan in order to redeem herself as a member of the family. As a result, she reveals that the Spider Family were not related by blood, but were instead a coalition of frightened demons who agreed to join Rui's group for protection.

In order to be a member of the "family", their appearances were changed to look similar to Rui and they were violently punished when they failed to obey his commands. She also reveals that he would "cut them, steal their intelligence, or leave them to die from the sunlight" if they failed to fulfill their role as a member of the "family".

When the Demon Slayers defeated the Mother Spider Demon, the Sister Demon had tried to warn Rui so they could run to safety, but when doing so she revealed her original face which angered him.

As she continues to run through the forest, she encounters Murata and uses Blood Demon Art: Acid Cocoon to entrap him. He helplessly tries to slice through the silk, but the Older Sister Demon reveals that the material cannot be cut and he will soon be dissolved by her dissolution fluid to become her meal. In that instant, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, stealthily appears behind the Older Sister Demon and inquires about the silk she had spun and calmly greets her. Shocked by her presence, the Older Sister Demon quickly emits more silk in order to capture Shinobu but fails to do so.
