Tanjiro tried to cut the demon with all his might. If Tanjiro ever became a demon, he was sure one of the demon hunters would cut off his head.

And he didn't want you to experience another loved one in your life to die.
"Brother! This can't be happening! Your head can't get cut off by a guy like that!" Gyuutarou's sister says.

Soon in a flash Zenistu pops out from the wreckage and attacks the female demon. She tries to move him away but couldn't as Zenistu's sword goes through her neck.

Zenitsu made some progress in tearing a bit of her neck.

On the other side, Tanjiro was trying to cut Gyuutarou's neck in half. Though it was too tough to get anything done.

Gyuutarou uses his demon art in pushing Tanjiro's sword back. Tanjiro swings his sword pushing away the demon's attack.

His attack was increasing more, as the poison was wearing off.
"You brat!"
Gyuutarou swings his sickle weapon at Tanjiro's neck, until Uzui saves him on time.

Tanjiro and Gyuutarou was surprised. Uzui pushes the demon back.

Gyuutarou couldn't understand how Uzui was still alive. He was sure since his heart stopped. But soon he started to realize that when he stopped his heart, the poison stopped circulating.

"The s'core' is complete! We're gonna win!" Uzui says.

Uzui swings his weapons at Gyuutarou, even though it looked more harder now with just one mobile arm.

Gyuutarou gets a hit on Uzui's face.
"Uzui!"
"Don't stop! Go!"
Uzui throws himself at the demon and stabs him on the chest.

Tanjiro goes high and as he makes his move, Gyuutarou swings his weapon stabbing Tanjiro's under jaw.

Tanjiro still swings his sword towards his neck. He uses all his strength, veins popping out of his body.

On Zenistu's side he tries to cut through as a bunch of sashes envelope around him.

"I'll dice you to shreds, before you even cut my head off! Take—!"
The female demon's sashes were cut off from behind by Inosuke.

"How the hell?!"
"Don't underestimate the suppleness of my body! Shifting the organs in my body is child's play! Poison has no effect on a rugged mountain boy like me!"

Inosuke swings dual swords at her neck.
"Brother! Do something!"
Soon her neck gets sliced off along with his brother.

It was all over just like that.

...it hurts...everything in my body hurts like hell...am I dead...?

"You're not dead. Yet" a voice calls out.

Huh? Who was that?

"Open your eyes. Try and open your eyes, my dear" the voice says.

You slowly start opening your eyes. You then see in a blur, a beautiful looking woman.

She had long flowing black hair, and a white top along with her long red hakama skirt that shows her fitting white socks and sandals. She had a sword strapped on her side.
