Kimetsu no Yaiba Wiki

Kidnapper's Bog ( (ひと) (さら) (ぬま) Hitosarai-numa?) is the tenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary[]

As Tanjiro embarks on his mission as an officiated Demon Slayer, he remembers information provided to him by Sakonji. Nichirin Swords change color according to their users, but so little is known about swordsmen with black blades, it is believed they don't progress far. His uniform is made of a special breathable fabric that is waterproof and fire-resistant, as well as strong enough to repel the claws and teeth of a weak demon. Before leaving, he is given a new box by Sakonji for carrying Nezuko during the day, made with lighter stronger wood and lacquer for durability. He also mentions his idea that perhaps Nezuko sleeps to gain strength as an alternative to eating humans.

Tanjiro in his Demon Slayer uniform

Tanjiro questions Kazumi about Satoko's disappearance.

As he walks through the town assigned as his mission, he notices a dishevelled man in the crowd. The man, Kazumi, is pitied by the folk as he was with the latest victim, Satoko, when she disappeared. Tanjiro questions him and Kazumi takes the Demon Slayer to where she vanished. Though he believes the boy will dissuade him, Tanjiro fully supports his idea that she disappeared and kneels to the ground, detecting the faint scent of a demon. Watching him investigate, Kazumi remembers when he had told Satoko's parents of what had happened, and her father had beaten him for blaming her going missing as her simply vanishing.

As night approaches, a girl inside her house prepares to go to sleep. Lying in her futon, she sadly wonders on the whereabouts of the missing girls and hopes they are alright. Suddenly, her bedroom floor transforms into a dark puddle and demonic arms grab her from beneath; the girl is unable to scream and is dragged into the dark.

Tanjiro suddenly runs away, causing Kazumi to follow him, stating that the scent is now stronger and that a demon is nearby by. He leaps up onto the rooftops to get a better view of the town and a stunned Kazumi realizes that the rumors of demons and the Demon Slayers are true. He gets down and, detecting where the scent is strongest, stabs his blade into the ground, causing murky water to spurt out. He sees something and grabs the girl, pulling her away from the demon.

Tanjiro encounters the Swamp Demon

Tanjiro meets the Swamp Demon.

From the puddle emerges a horned demon, causing Tanjiro to realize that it possess a Blood Demon Art, remembering Sakonji's advice that they are supernatural abilities belonging to certain demons. He questions the demon about the missing girls but it instead grinds its teeth in anger and disappears. Entrusting the girl to Kazumi, he senses the scent approaching but is shocked to see three demons. Thinking quickly, he uses Water Breathing, Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin, hitting all three targets at once.
