I’m glad you woke up…

After the fierce battle in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro was in critical condition and took a long time to regain consciousness.

These words were spoken in tears by Kanao, who had come to visit him and realized he had woken up.

Because of her painful past, Kanao had been unable to make decisions for herself and never showed her feelings or thoughts, believing that nothing really mattered.

But after Tanjiro told her, “I don’t think there’s anything in this world that doesn’t matter,” and “Do your best! A person’s heart is their driving force,” she gradually began to reclaim herself by listening to her own inner voice.

This scene was where that change felt especially profound.

So this is why you left me one of my eyes, sis.

The Demon Slayer Corps had been celebrating the defeat of Muzan Kibutsuji, but tension returned when Tanjiro turned into a demon.

Even the sun, which should burn demons, was overcome by Tanjiro in an instant, and the crimson Nichirin Blade had no effect—there was no way to kill him.

That’s when Kanao Tsuyuri used the medicine entrusted to her by Shinobu Kocho.

Although Kanao had lost most of the vision in one eye during the battle with Doma, after uttering these words she used her Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye to slip past Tanjiro’s attacks and inject the medicine.

The Equinoctial Vermilion Eye is a technique with a high risk of causing blindness, yet Kanao still used her strength to turn Tanjiro back into a human.

It was also striking that she called Kocho—whom she usually calls “Master”—“Sister.”

I am… Kanao Tsuyuri. The younger sister of Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho…

When Doma, having absorbed the Kochō sisters, asked for her name, Kanao answered as she did.

In reality, there is no blood relation between the Kochō sisters and Kanao.

However, this line shows that Kanao adored them as if they were her own sisters.

By choosing not to give her own name and instead invoking the Kochō sisters’ names to position herself as their younger sister, she may also have intended to tell Doma, “You killed my precious family.” It feels as though Kanao’s intense anger is embedded in this line.

You don’t have to keep lying anymore.

The famous line she hurled at Upper Rank Two, Doma—who shed tears over Upper Rank Three, Akaza’s death—was: “You don’t have to keep lying anymore.” It’s a piercing remark aimed at someone like Doma, who understands nothing of human hearts and spouts nothing but nonsense.

Precisely because Kanao Tsuyuri was originally indifferent to her own emotions and thoughts, she may be especially sensitive to the discomfort and revulsion caused by superficial words and actions.

Even in modern society, words that lack genuine feeling are easily seen through, so this is a quote worth remembering as a reminder to be sincere.

They helped me. I couldn’t do it alone, but my friends came to help.

A famous quote about realizing the importance of bonds with your comrades: “They helped me.

I couldn’t have done it alone, but my friends came for me.” It’s a line that appears after delivering the final blow to Upper Rank Two, Doma, and it really conveys Kanao Tsuyuri’s growth.

Trust isn’t about profit or loss, but recognizing that you were saved because you cherished your companions is, in itself, a sign of human growth.

It carries a message essential to relationships, so rather than just letting it pass as a scene in the story, it’s a quote worth engraving in your heart.

I want to tell you that my wish came true.

After the final battle ended, there was a famous line spoken while looking at “Certain Victory,” the cherry tree planted by the first Flower Breathing swordsman: “I want to tell them it came true.” It’s a striking quote that colors a scene where the wish and resolve born from a long history of fighting demons are embraced and reflected upon.

Many were surely moved to the core by the sight of Kanao Tsuyuri—who, when first introduced, couldn’t decide anything for herself—finally expressing her feelings.

It’s a heartwarming line that fully conveys Kanao Tsuyuri’s inherent charm and kindness.

Tanjiro, don’t do that. Come back quickly. You mustn’t make Nezuko-chan cry…

While injecting the medicine into Tanjiro Kamado—who had been turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji and was rampaging—she said the memorable line: “Tanjiro, no, please come back quickly.

You mustn’t make Nezuko cry…” It’s a line that really conveys Kanao Tsuyuri’s kindness, including her concern for Nezuko, Tanjiro’s sister, as she desperately tries to stop him.

The fact that Kanao herself is also in the position of a ‘younger sister’ who lost her family may be part of why the message feels so profound.

It’s a famous quote that expresses the feelings behind her resolve to act, even if it might cost her her sight this time.
