Re-read 2023 - This is the final major arc of the series, and it's still fantastic to read. There's multiple moments of "holy shit" followed by "Oh god...people are going to die." And that's pretty much the last 8 volumes in a nutshell. So excited to read through these again.
Original Review - Demon Slayer just ramps up their shit because holy fuck it is going DOWN.
This right here is the Endgame. Right before we get into it we get to see the training and it's a decent ending to show how far the boys have come. BUT then Muzan walks right up to Kagaya and is ready to murderer the leader of all the Demon Slayer Corp. Is it a trap? Well fuck it doesn't matter because Muzan shows why and how powerful he is here as the entire Demon Slayer corp unleashes their attacks on him. Then we get a duel between a sick demon and Kanao, and my god, this fight is glorious.
It ends on a hell of a cliffhanger but goddamn it the death count is coming and I can feel it. The fights, the motives, the pure relentlessness of the demons. It all comes down to this. We in it baby.
5 out of 5.

TW// murder (including children)
The start of the end. I've seen a lot of spoilers, so as soon as I saw who was being grouped with who for the fight, I started to tear up in anticipation. I'm not ready for all of these characters that I love to die in such tragic ways.
Truthfully one of the greatest manga series ever, but be prepared to have your heart ripped to shreds if you want to read it.

Ver a Giyu tratando se llevarse bien con los demás pilares es la cosa más bonita que hay.
Ver a Tanjiro meterse como si nada frente a alguien muy fuerte para defender a sus amigos es la cosa más tierna que existe.
Ver a Sanemi más seguido es una bendición para mis ojos... ¿Ya les dije que lo amo?
Ver a Genya hablar con Tanjiro y crear una pequeña amistad es perfecto, maravilloso, se me derrite el corazón.
Pero.... Muzan llegó y todo se fue al carajo!! DUDE QUE RAYOSSSSSS ESTA PASANDO, todo esta mallll, todo esta muy mal, no veo que nada vaya a salir bien, van a morir, muchos van a morir.... OH DIOS MIO NO ESTOY LISTA PARA ESTO.

The training finished, I really can’t believe that the final battle is upon us. I mean, the reasons were all there, sure, but in most other mangas I’d have assumed we’d be overwhelmed with side-quests and/or new level-ups.
But nope, we’re getting right to the meat of it. Bloody, bloody meat.

This was for sure one of the best volumes of this series. My god. I'm unwell and almost in tears.
I can't believe all of this children are SO FREAKING AMAZING. I can't say much without giving spoilers, but. I need to see this NOW in the anime. I can't wait.
And my girl Shinobu, I love you so much.

Uy como que se puso bueno 🤭 no esperaba que empezará tan pronto el desenlace, quizás esperaba más enfrentamientos solo con las lunas superiores pero no apareció, Muzan y dio inicio al plan de Oyakata. Se inmolo junto a la mayor parte de su familia para retener lo suficiente a Muzan y que Tamayo pudiera inyectarle una droga que en teoría lo inducir a a volverse humano.
Los demás estaban en rl entrenamiento así que estaban cerca, un cuervo dio la alerta y todos fueron al encuentro, hasta algunos que no aparecieron al inicio xd vimos un poquito de la historia del monje. Bueno a lo que íbamos, Muzan invoco su dimensión, están todos, los pilares, los otros cazadores que han destacado, entre ellos nuestro protagonista, Muzan, la lunas superiores que quedan y más demonios.
Están todos separados, máx 2 juntos. Shinobu dio con el primer luna superior, justo el que mato a su hermana y el motivo por el cual se hizo pilar, esta dura la cosa, ella ya esta herida y aunque no creo que le gane o quien sabe, lo atacó en el cuello.
7 volúmenes me quedan, no creo que se interrumpan y hay varias batallas por delante, bien probablemente este ya sea el último arco.

An absolutely fantastic volume.
Several members of the Kisatsutai continue their training, honing their skills to new heights.
Meanwhile, Muzan finally confronts Ubuyashiki, triggering an event that calls all demon slayers to action.
Filled with tension and exhilarating action, this volume keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Y por fin, 16 volúmenes después, pude ponerle las cinco estrellas a un tomo de “ Kimetsu No Yaiba”. Ya pensaba que eso nunca iba a ocurrir.
Ni que decir tiene que creo que ha sido el mejor tomo hasta la fecha. Todo empieza de una manera muy ligera y humorística mientras seguimos con el entrenamiento con los pilares. Hay momentos graciosos, intensidad en el entrenamiento y, una vez más, momentos emotivos que vienen de la mano de uno de los pilares, Gyomei Himejima, y de su pasado triste y duro. Ni que decir tiene que él también acabará estableciendo un vínculo afectivo y apoyando a Tanjiro, como hemos visto antes con otros pilares. Claro. A veces tengo la sensación en ese sentido de estar leyendo “Naruto” o “One Piece”. No me disgusta ese recurso, pero tampoco me emociona mucha,la verdad, porque no me lo termino de creer del todo, por más que sea típico del Shonen.
Y, por supuesto, no podemos olvidar que algo le pasa a Zenitsu desde que recibió una carta. Se viene más de su pasado, creo. Y yo feliz, porque siento debilidad por este personaje y creo que me va a gustar verle en otra situación que no suponga que sea solo un mero recurso gracioso para la trama (excepto por los momentos que duerme, claro).
Pero toda esa placidez termina con un giro de 180º grados con la aparición de Mugan. Y ahí es cuando empieza lo bueno y la lectura se vuelve completamente adictiva . He leído todo el rato con una tensión que ni os imagináis. La conversación entre Mugan y Oyakata-Sama me ha parecido de lo mejorcito que he leído en este manga. Y luego ese final abrupto... sin palabras. Mira que yo hubo un momento, en volúmenes anteriores, que pensé que el Líder de los Cazadores de Demonios no era trigo limpio. Así que esa inmolación me ha dejado sin palabras de una forma más bestial de lo que hubiera hecho si me hubiera fiado de ese buen hombre desde el principio. Parecerá una tontería, pero creo que lo que más me ha dolido es que meta en el saco también a la esposa y a las hijas.
Tras este sacrificio , Mugan queda acorralado, y no le queda otra que huir llevándose a los cazadores a la Fortaleza Infinita. ¿Confirmamos que se avecinan un arco lleno de momentos emotivos, dolor y acción ? Confirmamos. El primer enfrentamiento que leemos ya promete y mucho, con Shinobu enfrentándose al la luna superior que asesinó a su hermana. Casualidades de la vida, que con lo grande que sea el mundo vayas y justo te encuentres con el asesino de tu hermana, fíjate. La pelea está llena de tensión y de sufrimiento desde el principio, viendo como el demonio juega con una cazadora claramente en desventaja, mientras esta trata de envenenarle y sobreponerse a sus heridas. Me huelo como va a acabar la cosa, y no sé si quiero verlo. Pero al mismo tiempo, llegados a este punto, el manga me tiene totalmente enganchada y quiero continuarlo.
Ha costado, pero creo que por fin estoy disfrutando plenamente de esta historia después de todo lo que ha pasado en este volumen.

In the 16th Volume of Kimetsu No Yaiba, the training finally ends with some funny moments as the author slowly builds up tension and anticipation of what's to come.
And in an instant, everything turns to chaos as the end nears. Masterfully crafted.

(I KNOW I KNOW I'M SORRY. ANOTHER ABSURDLY LONG ONE. BUT THIS ONE'S GREAT, I PROMISE. PLUS, YOU ALL ARE GOOD READERS SOOOOO)
"No matter what anyone says, I respect you, Tanjiro Kamado.
I once raised orphans at a temple. They had no families, but they helped each other, and lived harmoniously like a family. I wanted to continue living that way. But one night, a child who broke the rules by not returning before dark... encountered a demon. To save himself, he said he would feed me and the eight children at the temple to the demon. In the area where we lived, the fear of demons ran deep, so we lit a wisteria-flower incense burner each night. That boy extinguished the burner... and invited the demon inside.
Four children were killed immediately. I tried to protect the remaining four, but three of them wouldn't listen to me. at the time, we didn't have much food, so I was weak. I was faint of heart and had never even shouted. And I suppose they felt... that a blind adult couldn't save them. The only one who listened to me was Sayo, the youngest. She hid alone behind me. And the other three children ran off. The demon slit their throats in the dark and they died. But no matter what, I wanted to spare Sayo, so I fought. The feeling of punching a living thing was like hell. I can never forget my disgust. For the first time, I swung my fists with my full might-with a power frightening even to me. If a demon had never attacked, I would never have known my own strength. I continued punching and smashing the demon's head until dawn. I lost much that night. I was hurt, and risked my life to protect Sayo... but this is what she said to the people who came to help. 'That man is a monster! Everyone... He... killed everyone!' She must have been confused from the horror. She was only four. Which is understandable. Children are like that. Nonetheless, I at least wanted some gratitude. I wanted her to thank me for fighting for her. Those words alone would have saved me. But children are only ever concerned with themselves. The demon's corpse turned to dust and disappeared, leaving only the children's bodies. The authorities imprisoned me for their murder. If the master had not helped me, I would have been executed. After that, I became a deeply distrustful person. And of course, I didn't even believe in you. No matter how righteous people usually are, they reveal their true selves in time of disaster. But you did not run away. You did not look away. You did not lie. You were straightforward and resolute. It sounds simple, but not many people are like that. I have seen many people with the eyes of my heart, so if I say this, it's true. Everyone is uneasy about the future. From now on, I will help you so you do not take the wrong path. Your training with me is complete. Good job seeing it through."

Empiezan las batallas contra los demonios más fuertes.
Me gustó leer un poco más sobre Tomioka(mi pilar favorito) y entender un poco más de su personalidad. Fue muy divertido el panel de él y Tanjiro descubriendo que a otro pilar le gusta cierto tipo de comida. Giyu intenta llevarse bien con todos, solo que es un poco raro.
Todos se esfuerzan como pueden en los entrenamientos y espero que mejore Zenitsu, con el último diálogo con Tanjiro parece que encontró su determinación.
Ya en la batalla creo que final seguro que algunos pilares se van a morir😭 no sé si estoy lista para despedirme de más personajes.

The final battle is here and I am absolutely terrified for my babies. TERRIFIED. Please Gotouge, I can’t handle any more of my babies dying. There is a death already in this volume, but it was inevitable so I’m ok. Also, where are Zenitsu and Nezuko?
Genya is my sweet angry baby. He now belongs in the same group as mom baby Tanjiro, crybaby Zenitsu, angry baby Inosuke, smol baby Mui, and awkward baby Giyuu.

MY 800TH BOOK EVER READ!!!
The group have completed the harsh training of Himejima, the Stone Hashira and we learn of how he was framed for a demon’s wrongdoing. Ubuyashiki gets a fatal visit and it later becomes a demonic game of manipulation for some of his Hashira. A (100%/Outstanding)
