KNY HORROR MOVIE AU: GRASPING SHADOWS

Summary:

19-years-old Tomioka Giyuu receives a call from the local police of his old hometown, about his old guardian Urokodaki being arrested as a suspect for the missing children that have been going on for years. Returning back to prove the innocence of Urokodaki, Giyuu discovers a more horrifying truth about the missing children...while also trying to protect two strange kids that claim there is a 'monster' with many arms living in the mountain.

Storyline:

• When Giyuu was 13-years-old, his best friend Sabito suddenly went missing one day on a Summer night. The only thing that was left of him was a piece of fabric from his haori.

• Giyuu enters a university away from his hometown, only to receive the news about his guardian Urokodaki being arrested as the primary suspect of the missing kids in the hometown.

• While Urokodaki is being interrogated by the police, he manages to ask Giyuu to take care of two children that seek protection under his care; Tanjirou and Nezuko.

• Wanting to find a way to prove Urokodaki's innocence, Giyuu starts an investigation of his own about the missing kids.

• Along with the Kamado siblings, the three of them find clues that lead them towards the mountains that always have wisteria trees blooming around the base.

• Memories and the trauma of the past start to mess with Giyuu, rendering him to an emotional mess that he starts to see ghosts of Sabito

• Tanjirou and Nezuko can see the ghosts of the missing children, making friends with Sabito and Makomo along the way. Thanks to the children, they finally managed to find the roots of all the missing cases.

• The demon with many arms makes himself known, chortling as he begins to hunt the three humans through the mountain the dark of the night

• It turns out many of the missing children were orphans and helped by Urokodaki, who always gifted them with fox masks. Urokodaki had met the demon in his youth and trapped it in the mountain with the wisteria to cage him. Thirsty for revenge, the demon managed to lure every kids Urokodaki had saved and ate them. Sabito and Makomo were amongst the unfortunate ones.

• Giyuu tries to fight the demon off with the swordsmanship skills he learnt from Urokodaki, but since he stopped training after Sabito's death, he is easily defeated by the demon.

• His main defeat is mainly caused by the demon's taunting of Sabito's death, like how he ripped off the boy's head before eating him. Blinded with rage, Giyuu strikes the demon but then gets struck off his feet and injured.

• With the momentary distraction between the demon and Giyuu, Tanjirou managed to kill the demon with an axe by slicing the demon's head.

• The demon crumbles away in his death, turning into ashes. The fox masks belonging to the missing children were found in a cave at the feet of the mountain.

• Giyuu finds Sabito's mask and holds it close to his heart, finally finding the closure.

• With no supporting evidence, the police let Urokodaki go out of their custody. Urokodaki is told what happened and breaks down in tears.

• Graves for the kids are built, with each of their masks placed on every one. Giyuu places Sabito's mask on a grave as a sense of letting the past go while Tanjirou and Nezuko place Makomo's mask on her spot.

• The Kamado siblings are adopted by Urokodaki and Giyuu promises to take them to the city on holidays if he can as he prepares to return to university.

• As he leaves, the ghosts of the missing children are seen at the mountain. One by one, they turn and disappear into the mist, with Sabito and Makomo being the last ones as they mouthed the words "Thank you" to Giyuu and the Kamado siblings.

Kimetsu no Yaiba Settei Collection Book 1-part 3

So, demons are made by Muzan mixing his blood with someone, and it looks like very small amounts are needed to turn someone into a demon but only Muzan's blood can do that (I mean I guess uppermoons as well but they also have a very high concentration of muzan's cells). Then I was wondering if getting demon blood into your bloodstream (probably through open wounds I wouldn't be surprised if cuts they had got splashed with demon blood at some point in their career) would have any actual affect. It's not pure muzan cells but there would still be some. Obviously there's not enough to even have it be a risk of turning into a demon or there would be a lot more demons, but I feel like something would happen even if it's iust something like a sickness (at most) where the body fights off an infection.

I've just been thinking about that and was wondering if you had any thoughts about this particular thought train.

This thought… vexes me… SO MUCH. I have ridden this train so many times, and for such a distance. And been in a few train wrecks. Sort of got eaten by the train. Basically, yeah, this was my understanding of how demons happen ever since Episode/Chapter 1, when Giyuu comes out and says that Nezuko got turned into a demon because demon blood got in her wounds. Just that, basically. Typical Giyuu, not saying enough. So my understanding of how Muzan’s blood spreads because this understanding, pretty much exactly as stated in your Ask. But, after this whole back and forth on everything else stated in the entirety of canon, but especially in the Taisho Secrets, my conclusion is that Muzan has made every demon somewhat on purpose, and with the exception of doing it via blood-Skype call with the Upper Moons, he’s done it in person.

But, that opens up a lot of questions about Muzan’s purposes and methods for making all those demons, which I’ve analyzed here, as well diving more into why Giyuu’s statements and thoughts in Chapter 1 would lend itself to the aforementioned understanding.

So this is frustrating and all, and I interpret it as a case of writing the debut chapter one way, and then tweaking the worldbuilding rule as the manga was allowed to progress. But it’s also possible that Giyuu was the one with a misunderstanding in the first place.

Urokodaki: Sabito, Giyuu, I left instructions for you two while I'm gone.

Sabito: But... Mine just says "Sabito, no".

Giyuu: ...

Urokodaki:

Urokodaki: I want you to apply it to every possible situation.

I keep calling Urokodaki “Jiraiya-Sensei” oops

He just reminds me so much of Jiraiya, and it doesn’t help that they have they same voice actor! Love a good sensei! But it makes me sad.
