Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol. 22 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Volume 22 cuts to the core of the final war on Muzan. With over an hour until sunrise, Muzan turns his entire body into a weapon and shatters the Hashira's formation. Tanjiro absorbs the worst of the assault and collapses, Hinokami Kagura and his father Tanjuro's teachings flickering at the edge of consciousness. Giyu Tomioka's Water Breathing, Sanemi Shinazugawa's Wind, Obanai Iguro's Serpent, and Gyomei Himejima's Stone land again and again—yet Muzan seals every wound instantly, rewriting the field with poison and shockwaves. Nezuko still guards her brother in a body turning human; Kanao Tsuyuri sharpens her sight to catch Muzan's micro-tells. When Gyomei's stance breaks, Sanemi steps forward chewing on memories of brother Genya. Obanai loads Shinobu's will onto his blade as the remaining pillars abandon "kill him" for "hold him until dawn," burning blood like lamp oil. The volume freezes on Tanjiro going down under Muzan's strike—pulse locked to the sunrise clock, waiting for whose blade answers next.
