Nezuko Kamado Story
On a snowy night, Muzan massacres the Kamado family — sparing Nezuko to turn her. She awakens as a demon but protects Tanjiro, earning Giyu’s mercy. Hypnotized by Urokodaki to see humans as family, she joins the Demon Slayer Corps as an exception.
Her journey:
- Final Selection: Sleeps in box, carried by Tanjiro.
- Entertainment District: Awakens BDA, defeats Daki’s half.
- Swordsmith Village: Conquers sunlight — Muzan’s ultimate fear.
- Infinity Castle & Sunrise: Fights Hantengu, reverts to human via Tamayo’s drug + sunrise.
- 2025 (Epilogue): Human, married (implied), living in modern Japan.
Nezuko’s vow: “Hpmh!” (I’ll protect you, brother.)
