* Chapter 186 reveals why Yoriichi, who hated hurting people despite his talent, become a demon slayer. After running away to avoid being his father's successor for his brother's sake, he met a recently orphaned girl named Uta who eventually became his wife. When she was close to giving birth, Yoriichi left their home to seek a midwife, but got sidetracked by an old man who wanted to see his dying son. By the time he returned, he found Uta dead at the front door, murdered by a demon with their child. Yoriichi spent ''ten days straight cradling Uta's body in shock and despair'' before being found by Rengoku's ancestor, who convinced him to properly bury them. He decided that day to become a demon slayer. The following chapter then reveals that the fallout of his failure to kill Muzan for good in addition of sparing Tamayo, who was under Muzan's clutches and wasn't a bad person at all once she was freed from him, resulted in him being exiled from the Demon Slayer Corps and the weight of his failure haunts him because he knows many more will die to demons because of it. It also underscores how the corps is failing to understand their adage due of their grief and trauma of being tormented by evil demons, from destroying all evil, to simply killing demons regardless whether they did violate ethics or not, somehow that the present narrative tackled with in regards to Nezuko. Then again, trauma is rarely rational and logical, every single Demon Slayer are clearly suffering from PTSD or PTED thanks to demons, and each of them have different methods to cope.

* Chapter 176 shows Kokushibo's last stand against Himejima, Muichiro, and Sanemi. Fearing that he might lose, Kokushibo assumes a monstrous spider-like form. Upon seeing his reflection on Sanemi's blade, he realizes his own hideousness and is filled with shame. A flashback shows a young Yoriichi happily complimenting his big brother and asking him if he wanted to become the strongest samurai of the land. The young Yoriichi then tells him that he wanted to be like his big brother and become the second strongest samurai alongside with him. The flashback makes Kokushibo question the entirety of his goal throughout the centuries of assuming his demon form. At the end of the battle, he admits to himself that he just wanted to be like Yoriichi.
* Chapter 177 shows more of Yoriichi and Kokushibo’s past, revealing how much Yoriichi loved his twin brother even though he had trouble expressing his emotions. Which makes his clear display of emotion upon seeing his brother as a demon much more heartbreaking.

Despite all his bitterness and hatred, Yoriichi never once looked at him with anything but love and admiration...and when Kokushibo finally fades away, all that's left is the broken flute, the TragicKeepsake he kept for so many centuries as a reminder of his brother and the last lingering shreds of his humanity.

Zenitsu seemingly hated his training as he felt no progress was made at all, Zenitsu felt like a failure, he wanted to run but Jigoro did his best to steer Zenitsu into the path of the Breath of Thunder, even with all his incessant bawling Zenitsu realized his master Jigoro was the first person to ever truly stick by him.
* Rui's past: when was a human, he was a [[DelicateAndSickly sick child]] whose parents asked a doctor (actually Muzan) to grant him a strong body. He got turned into a demon and started eating humans. Realizing their mistakes, his parents planned to kill him, then themselves, but Rui felt betrayed and killed them first. This was what caused his obsession with familial bonds despite losing his memories. It's only in his last moments that he remembers it, and that his mother's last words were an apology for not giving him a strong body. Realizing his parents truly loved him all along, he regrets that his evil deeds will lead him to Hell, away from his parents. The truly tearjerking part comes right after, as Rui's spirit starts to descend into Hell; His parents' spirits come to him, declaring that they will always be together and [[YouAreWorthHell accompanying him to Hell]]. The sequence ends with Rui in tears constantly apologizing to his parents as the three of them are engulfed in Hell's flames.

As she fades away, she expresses shock and surprise over how her decapitation doesn't hurt in the slightest and how Tanjiro's eyes aren't filled with hatred or rage over what she did, but sadness and sympathy, with her final thoughts being vague memories of her past as a human and a man that loved her, wondering where he is now.

* Zenitsu's life was filled with [[ItsAllMyFault self-doubt and wrong turns]], [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife he was always looking for a place to belong]], [[IJustWantToBeLoved to really feel someone loved him]]; it was by accident that Zenitsu got taken into the world of demon slaying by the chance encounter with the elder known as Jigoro Kuwajima. Zenitsu seemingly hated his training as he felt no progress was made at all, Zenitsu felt like a failure, he wanted to run but Jigoro did his best to steer Zenitsu into the path of the Breath of Thunder, Thunder Breathing, even with all his incessant bawling Zenitsu realized his master Jigoro was the first person to ever truly stick by him.
* Rui's past: when was a human, he was a [[DelicateAndSickly sick child]] whose parents asked a doctor (actually Muzan) to grant him a strong body. He got turned into a demon and started eating humans. Realizing their mistakes, his parents planned to kill him, then themselves, but Rui felt betrayed and killed them first. This was what caused his obsession with familial bonds despite losing his memories. It's only in his last moments that he remembers it, and that his mother's last words were an apology for not giving him a strong body. Realizing his parents truly loved him all along, he regrets that his evil deeds will lead him to Hell, away from his parents. The truly tearjerking part comes right after, as Rui's spirit starts to descend into Hell;His his parents' spirits come to him, declaring that they will always be together and [[YouAreWorthHell accompanying him to Hell]]. The sequence ends with Rui in tears constantly apologizing to his parents as the three of them are engulfed in Hell's flames.
** In that flashback, we can see that Rui's parents were really not happy to murder their own son. As Rui's father is about to commit the deed, he states that they're going to die with him, showing that they were planning to kill themselvesafterwards.
afterwards.
* In the same vein as Rui, the Mother SpiderMother Demon was an ordinary little girl before she turned into a demon. When Rui met her, he forcibly altered her appearance into that of an adult woman's, and her new "family" horrifically abused her for the smallest mistakes. When Tanjiro is about to strike her down, she initially panics... Then she realizes that if she dies, [[IDieFree she'll finally be freed from Rui]]. [[FaceDeathWithDignity So she holds her arms out as if to embrace Tanjiro and accepts her imminent death]]. Tanjiro, who has every reason to be angry with her for killing her demon slayer puppets in a fit of rage, realizes that's she surrendering and alters his strike into a painless one meant to inflict a MercyKill. As she fades away, she expresses shock and surprise over how her decapitation doesn't hurt in the slightest and how Tanjiro's eyes aren't filled with hatred or rage over what she did, but sadness and sympathy, with her final thoughts being vague memories of her past as a human and a man that loved her, wondering where he is now.now.
* The anime expands on the Elder Sister Spider Demon's story on how she became a member of Rui's family, revealing that she had an "eldest sister" demon as a company. Said "eldest sister" treated her with kindness that stands out drastically among the demons, and marked her as pretty much the closest among the Spider Family (or even the demonkind in general) to fit the bill of a TokenGoodTeammate. She even offered the Elder Sister Demon to escape Rui's abusive household with her, even declaring that she genuinely considers her to be a sister. However, it was revealed that, when they escaped, the Elder Sister Demon [[TheFarmerAndTheViper sold out]] the "eldest sister" to Rui, with him punishing her by stringing her up to the house's roof and leaving her there until the daybreak, as the Elder Sister Demon just walks away, showing no empathy to her predicament. In her last moments, the "eldest sister" could only cry from the pain of betrayal before the sunlight makes her erupt into flames.

* The reason why Shizunagawa brothers are such jerks? Sanemi had to kill his beloved mother after she was turned into a demon, and Genya, confused and grief-stricken, called his brother a murderer. Sanemi kept his brother at a distance since then, and joined the Demon Slayers to avenge their family. Genya joined too against Sanemi's wishes, but his motivation is to get close enough to his brother and apologize for his outburst years ago.

* No one knows that they may be seeing each other for the last time, but the scene when Tanjiro leaves to go sell wood. He bids goodbye to his family and some of his siblings either want to go with him or cut firewood.
**It's also sad how we learn from Nezuko that their dad died.
* When Tanjiro returns home the next day, he finds his entire family slaughtered, with Nezuko being the sole survivor.
** It's even worse when we see some of the older Kamados trying to protect the younger children. Kie was in front of Hanako, Takeo was above Shigeru, and Nezuko had her arm wrapped around Rokuta.
** And to drive the knife of the blade deeper, Rokuta was only three. Goes to show how even [[WouldHurtAChild Muzan]] would go any lengths to turn even children into demons.

**It's a mix between sadness and heartwarming, but as it turns out, Nezuko was able to conquer the sun. AND she is able to speak, making her one step closer to being almost human again. All Tanjiro can do is cry as he wraps his arms around her. Heck, even the swordsmiths are crying. And [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Genya]] even smiles at this.
