Chapter 140

The Final Battle Begins (のをる) is the one hundred and fortieth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary
As Tanjiro falls, he is caught by Giyu and thrown on to a nearby platform to safety. The two are suddenly attacked by numerous demons but quickly kill them all, using the Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirlpool and Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance respectively. Tanjiro comments how amazing Giyu is, internally commenting how he can accurate predict the type of form he would use through slight movements, all while unnerved at his deadpan expression. The two then head out further into the castle.

Obanai rescues Mitsuri from several demons using the Serpent Breathing, Fifth Form: Slithering Serpent, much to her exuberant gratitude. Gyomei and Muichiro rush throughout the castle. slaughtering demons. They note all the demons they encounter are roughly the strength of a Lower Moon, suggesting Muzan intends to wear them down. The two lament the loss of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Muchiro remembering the times he was near death from attacks, and Kagaya encouraging him to continue. Kagaya did so with all the injured Demon Slayer in a fatherly manner. Muichiro seethes with rage that Muzan had killed his twin and his second father and hopes to bring him to hell, something the normally calm Gyomei furiously hopes to do.

Sanemi laments his inability to protect Kagaya. When demons appear before him, he rapidly slaughters them all. Inosuke is excited falling into the Infinity Castle, eager to test his abilities on numerous demons. Genya is confused at this situation and worries for the safety of Sanemi and the others. Zenitsu hears something nearby and believes a particular someone is close, calling them unforgivable.

Shinobu smells blood and decides to open a nearby door. Inside the room are the numerous corpses of women and a demon.
