Ep 12. The Boar Bares Its Fangs, Zenitsu Sleeps

In the twelfth episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, titled "The Boar Bares Its Fangs, Zenitsu Sleeps," we see our protagonist Tanjiro and his new companions, the boar-like Hashira Inosuke and the cowardly Zenitsu, continuing their journey to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human. However, their journey is soon disrupted by a demon attack.

During their travels, Tanjiro and his companions come across a young girl who seems to have been recently attacked by a demon. They learn that the demon responsible for the attack is Kyogai, one of the Twelve Kizuki, a group of powerful demons serving under the main antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji. Kyogai has the ability to control a person's mind with his Blood Demon Art, forcing them to complete a deadly puzzle in his test-filled castle.

Tanjiro and his companions soon find themselves trapped inside the castle, forced to complete the puzzles and fight off Kyogai's demons in order to reach him. As they make their way through the castle, they come face to face with Kyogai's twisted and sadistic personality, causing them to realize just how dangerous and unpredictable the demon world can be.

Despite the challenges they face, Tanjiro and his companions prove their worth by working together and utilizing their strengths and skills. Inosuke, known for his brute strength, takes on the role of the group's leader, using his animal instincts to navigate through the maze-like castle. Zenitsu, known for his cowardice, surprisingly shows some bravery and uses his unique abilities to help the group progress through the puzzles. Tanjiro, meanwhile, uses his knowledge and skills as a demon slayer to fight off the demons and get closer to Kyogai.

The episode ends with a climactic battle between Tanjiro and Kyogai, with the outcome uncertain. As Tanjiro fights for his life, he remembers his past encounters with demons and how he promised his family that he would protect them no matter what. This resolve gives him the strength he needs to confront Kyogai and potentially defeat him, but viewers are left wondering if he will succeed.

Overall, "The Boar Bares Its Fangs, Zenitsu Sleeps" is an intense and action-packed episode that showcases the dangerous and unforgiving world of Demon Slayer. It highlights the importance of working together and utilizing each other's strengths in order to overcome challenges, and sets up what promises to be an intense and epic battle in the next episode.
