Throughout the series, Nezuko fights alongside her brother and even gains immunity to sunlight, a critical development in Muzan's pursuit of her.

💡Breathing Styles

Breathing Styles are powerful swordsmanship techniques used by the demon slayers.

Each Upper Moon has immense strength and unique abilities. Throughout the series, Tanjiro and the other demon slayers face several Upper Moons, such as Akaza (Upper Moon 3) and Daki and Gyutaro (Upper Moon 6), in pivotal battles.

💡Sunlight Immunity

Sunlight Immunity is a critical plot point in the series, as it is the one weakness that all demons, including Muzan, possess.
