It's bc of nakime being in control in muzan muzan can read minds of their demons that means if nakime thinked that she would be beheaded instantly Correct me if I'm wrong

lol if Nakime killed Muzan she would die

Nakime didn't know where the Hashira were based- remember in the Hashira Training Arc, it was only when Nezuko "defeated the sun" the the Hashira were all called to the mansion... Before that, the only time they were all together again was when the first brought Tanjiro there.

[@SuchEvil]

Upper 1 is the one who created the upper moon ranks so tf is muzan butting in

[@ReapersArrow]

The real reason was because the writers didn’t want to downplay another Upper Moon by splitting the demon slayers more than they already were. If they were split any more than they already were, lore wise they’d have no chance of winning. Each Moon was paired against just the right number of slayers depending on both sides’ skills

[@ShamimaAkter-c3m]

Wait i have a questions when muzan in the last battle if he tried run away again then why didn’t he use his old trick to escape that trick Against yorrichi

[@romerjohncaday8703]

That's because of tamayos poison which prevented him using that ability as there are four stages, 1 turn him into human (which failed), 2 weaken him 3 prevent him from splitting apart (which is the ability he used to escape yoriichi which tamayo witnessed) and lastly stage 4 destroy all of muzan's cells so that's the reason it cuz of tamayo's poison.

Funny thing about hybrids that they have both a breathing style and a blood demon art which was why kokushibo was strong in his own right not because of his moon breathing thought it is unclear if kaigaku had a demon art or not to go with his thunder breathing at the time (he did supposedly it was a bda that made him able to manipulate lightning and electricity which was a perfect match with his breathing style)
