Quotes that shake Daki’s heart: beautiful and cruel words (1–10)

No matter how hard humans try, in the end this is about all we’re capable of.Daki

No matter how hard humans try, in the end this is about all we're capable of. Daki

A famous line delivered to Tanjiro Kamado when, after pushing himself to the brink, he could no longer move due to the limits of human stamina and life.

It’s a remark that looks down on humans, implying that no matter how much they train or how strong they become, they can never match demons.

It likely also carries a sense of panic at Tanjiro’s unexpected strength, as well as anger at how close he came to a decisive blow.

It’s a quote that exudes the strength and pride of an Upper Rank demon, coloring a scene that plunges the viewer into despair.

So you’re alive? Huh. You’ve got more backbone than I thought.Daki

So you're alive? Huh. You've got more backbone than I thought. Daki

A famous line delivered to Tanjiro Kamado—who, despite not being a Hashira, withstood the initial attack.

Following it with “Your eyes are nice.

Pretty.

I’ll gouge them out and eat them,” you can really feel the eerie menace of a demon.

For Daki, who had deceived humans’ eyes for so long, Tanjiro, who didn’t die from her strike, may have seemed like the perfect plaything.

It’s a quote that underscores a strength whose depths had yet to be revealed.

Because you’re getting on my nerves, I’ll kill you next time.Daki

Because you're getting on my nerves, I'll kill you next time. Daki

A famous line spoken in frustration during her battle with Tanjiro Kamado, when their conversation wasn’t lining up.

Hearing a blast go off somewhere and realizing that Hinatsuru, whom she had captured, had been freed, Daki asks Tanjiro about his forces, but he refuses to answer.

For Daki—who had been doing as she pleased without her true identity being exposed—situations she doesn’t grasp or that defy her expectations are nothing but stress.

It’s also a quote that conveys the ease and confidence born of her overwhelming strength.

Quotes that stir Daki’s heart: beautifully cruel words (11–20)

A beautiful and strong oni can do whatever she wants…!!Daki

A beautiful and strong oni can do whatever she wants...!! Daki

A legendary line in response to Tanjiro Kamado’s words, “You must have once writhed in pain and suffering, shedding tears.” The clash between Tanjiro’s anger toward demons who steal lives so unfairly and Daki’s refusal to even try to understand it firmly establishes how irreconcilable humans and demons are.

To Daki—who feels that becoming a demon freed her from all forms of pain—Tanjiro’s words about the value of life are likely utterly incomprehensible.

The quote becomes even more striking in light of Daki’s past, which is revealed later.

Who do you think you’re talking to?Daki

Who do you think you’re talking to? Daki

This is the famous line she snapped back when Tanjiro Kamado caught her trying to abduct Koinatsu, the oiran of Tokito-ya, and shouted, “Let her go!!” As an Upper Rank Six with pride to match, Daki has no interest in anyone but the Hashira among the Demon Slayer Corps, so being barked at in a commanding tone without even answering her questions must have really gotten under her skin.

The line, delivered with raw fury, is short yet carries the imposing weight befitting an Upper Rank demon.

It’s a villainous, memorable quote that foreshadows the start of a fierce battle.

Somehow, I’m getting attached to you. You’re like a mouse on the brink of death.Daki

Somehow, I’m getting attached to you. You’re like a mouse on the brink of death. Daki

A famous line that follows, “You’re cute, even if you’re ugly.” It’s directed at Tanjiro Kamado, who freed Koinatsu and moved beyond expectations, and it colors a scene where Daki—who’s only interested in beautiful things—shows interest in something beyond appearances.

You can also feel the composure that comes from her certainty of an overwhelming difference in power.

The gap from her inherently violent nature may also be staging Daki’s unseen strength and eeriness.

It’s a perfect quote for the calm before the real battle begins.

No one survived until dawn.Daki

No one survived until dawn. Daki

A famous line addressed to the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, who had seen through how to defeat her.

It’s a statement that seems to back up the fact that, together with her older brother Gyutaro, she fought and defeated many Hashira as Upper Rank Six.

The reality that they kept winning during the night—when the conditions favored demons—before the sun, their weakness, could rise, even brushed off Tengen Uzui’s taunts.

You can sense the underlying confidence that as long as she’s with her brother, they will never lose, no matter if the opponent is a Hashira or anyone else.

It’s a quote that suggests a turnabout from a disadvantaged position.
