Tanjiro detects a scent coming from its direction and decides to return, only to be confronted by Daki, who has absorbed the Oiran into her obi. The two begin to fight, and Daki easily overpowers Tanjiro with her numerous obi sashes. With the impact of her attacks, one of the straps on Nezuko's box breaks, meaning Tanjiro can no longer carry her and has to leave her stationary. Realizing she will be the strongest demon he's faced thus far, Tanjiro readies himself to face Daki alone.
