Kimetsu no Yaiba Wiki

The Doctor's Opinion ( () () (けん) (かい) Ishi no kenkai?) is the fifteenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary[]

At the udon vendor from earlier, the owner yells Nezuko for not eating his food. She sits there puzzled by his anger until Tanjiro returns and takes the chopsticks from the vendors hands and quickly slurps down the noodles. He thanks and compliments the vendor's cooking before leaving with Nezuko, and the man is left somewhat angry but still flattered by his compliment.

As they walk down the street, Tanjiro apologizes for leaving Nezuko alone but is suddenly stopped by her wariness of someone at the end of the street. Tanjiro calls out him who turns out to be the demon from earlier, letting him know that there was no need to wait for him as he could've followed the scent back to the hideout. The demon rejects his claim saying that there was no way that they could be tracked and questions Nezuko's presence -since she's a demon- while simultaneously calling her a hag. Tanjiro is insulted by his remark and argues that his sister is in fact considered his town's beauty.

They travel behind the demon until they arrive at a house with a pinned piece of paper. When they enter the building they stumble upon the demon lady treating the injured woman who was attacked by her spouse. Out of curiosity, Tanjiro questions if it is hard for the woman to resist wanting to attack the humans that she treats. Before she is able to respond, the demon beside him elbows Tanjiro and berates him for asking such a ridiculous question. The woman chides her assistant to stop being violent and formally introduces themselves as Tamayo and Yushiro.

Going back to Tanjiro's question, she explains that she is different from normal demons since she has altered her body and removed Muzan's curse. She goes into detail saying that she doesn't need to feed on human flesh, and only needs to drink small amounts of human blood in order to survive. Her methods involve purchasing blood from poor individuals under the facade that they would be used for medical transfusions, explaining why they do not have a distinct demon scent. Tamayo reveals that Yushiro requires less blood then she does and that he was the only individual that she was able to successfully transform into a demon after experimenting for more than 200 years.

Being stunned by her claims, Tanjiro brazenly asks Tamayo how old she truly is, causing Yushiro to hit him in a rage. She sternly warn him not to hit Tanjiro again, before then explaining that she does not have ill intentions to increase the number of demons in the world; she simply strives to find a solution to treat the incurable so they can live a little longer. Tanjiro senses her pure intent and decides to seek Tamayo's help in finding a way to turn demons back into humans.

In an alley at another part of the city, walking down the street, a demon playing with a temari ball is seen accompanying a second demon with eyes on his hands, who begins to track a set footprints on the floor. The Arrow Demon accurately identifies their provided targets, and when the Temari Demon asks how they will kill them, he answer they will do so brutally.

Tamayo confirms Tanjiro's suspicions on being able to turn a demon back into a human. He rushes forward to Tamayo eager to know the method but Yushiro flips him back, preventing him from getting too close to Tamayo. She angrily warns Yushiro again not to hit Tanjiro to which he cheekily responds, "I just threw him. I did not hit him". Tamayo tells Tanjiro that in order to establish a cure, she would need to study Nezuko's blood and that he would need to collect samples from demon who contain high concentrations of Muzan's blood. She goes on to inform him that Nezuko has a rare and special condition regarding the fact that she had slept for two years to regain her strength and since she hasn't consumed human or animal flesh within that period.

Tamayo warns Tanjiro that the task of collecting demon blood would not be easy and questions if he would still be willing to try. Tanjiro responds, " If that's the only way, I'll do it. It will help, not just Nezuko but lots of others right?", and a relieved Tamayo smiles at his optimism; Tanjiro blushes slightly at her smile but quickly realizes that Yushiro is displeased. At that moment, a speeding temari begin to destroy the house's interior.
