Kimetsu no Yaiba Wiki

A Request for Instruction ( () (きょう) () (ねが) Gokyōji Negau?) is the one hundred and twenty-eighth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary[]

Following the Swordsmith Village's attack, rebuilding has began due to the lingering threat of demons. Damage was kept at a minimum, but for the villagers, there was no time to mourn the dead. In the Butterfly Mansion, Tanjiro speaks with Goto and is told that the village will be relocated. Goto remarks on his hasty eating, since he had been unconscious for a week, but Tanjiro is unconcerned, mentioning both the Love and Mist Hashira have nearly recovered completely in three days. The Kakushi asks about Nezuko, having heard that something remarkable had happened to her, to which Tanjiro answers that she was able to withstand sunlight; he mentions she is being examined on whether she is returning into a human or evolving as a demon. Goto asks if Shinobu is leading the examination and Tanjiro corrects him by stating that it is Tamayo, but begins coughing while eating, annoying the Kakushi with his correct assumption.

He then asks on the whereabouts of Sumi, Kiyo, Naho, and Aoi, to which Tanjiro explains that with no one to help recover, they've spent time playing with Nezuko. Goto comments that all is at peace until the return of Zenitsu, who eventually arrives back at the mansion after his mission; his screaming immediately annoys Sumi and Aoi. Ecstatic and excited to see Nezuko speaking, Zenitsu begins complimenting her excessively and asking that she marry him, much to Aoi's chagrin. When Nezuko suddenly calls him Inosuke, his happy mood shatters and he threatens to kill Inosuke, who was revealed to have been repeatedly attempting to make Nezuko say his name.

At an emergency Hashira Meeting, as Sanemi speaks of his jealousy of not being able to face the Upper Ranks, Obanai asks Mitsuri and Muichiro on their condition. Mitsuri happily answers she is much better and Muichiro answers so, but adds he is not fully himself. Gyomei is relieved they have survived and successfully defeated the higher demons, while Shinobu is astounded by their speedy recovery. As Giyu asks if Kagaya will tell them what happened, Amane Ubuyashiki appears to take his place at the meeting, as Kagaya's condition has become too severe. The Hashira kneel before her; Gyomei prays for Kagaya and Amane's wellbeing and she extends her gratefulness to them. She tells the Hashira that with Nezuko's resistance to sunlight, Muzan Kibutsuji will soon hunt her with renewed vigour, leading to a large confrontation in the future. She then speaks about the marks that manifested in Mitsuri and Muichiro during their battles, hoping they could explain how it happened.

She explains that during the Sengoku period, when the swordsmen using the first Breathing Style almost killed Muzan, special marks appeared on their bodies. The Hashira are shocked, never once hearing about this happening, and Amane answers it is because so little is known about them. What that is known is an account by a swordsman who used the first Breathing Style, which stated, "when the Marked one arrives, the Mark will appear on others around that person, as if in resonance". Amane tells the Hashira that the first to be marked is Tanjiro Kamado, but since he was unable to explain how it happened, she hopes Mitsuri and Muichiro can.

Excited to be on the spot, Mitsuri gives her explanation: "It hit me like WAAAAH! Like WHOOM! FWAAH! My heart and stuff was all BA-DUMP BA-DUMP and my ears rang like PING! CRICK-CRACK-POP!" The Ubuyashikis and the Hashira stare with bewilderment at her explanation, and the embarrassed Love Hashira quickly bows down and apologizes, wishing she could crawl into a hole and vanish. Muichiro speaks up and states that while he did not know about the mark, he can explain certain factors he remembered that could help them know more.
