The Possible Explanation for Tanjiro and Nezuko’s Resistance to Demon Weakness in the Demon Slayer Databook, with Their Mother as a Key Factor

The Demon Slayer databook contained an intriguing piece of information that fans have utilized to develop a theory about her ability to conquer the sun. This plot point played a significant role in the story. Despite this, readers of the manga and viewers of the anime were unable to make the connection.

Despite numerous unanswered questions in the story, one remains particularly intriguing – the possibility of Nezuko Kamado conquering the sun. According to the databook mentioned earlier, Tanjiro Kamado, her brother and the main character of the series, was aware of the existence of Blue Spider Lilies and had even laid eyes on them.

This has the potential to serve as crucial evidence supporting a significant fan theory linking the Blue Spider Lily and Nezuko’s ability to withstand sunlight.

It has previously been mentioned that Tanjiro had seen the Blue Spider Lily. Additionally, it is important to consider that Kie Kamado, the mother of Tanjiro and Nezuko, was also aware of the Blue Spider Lily. It is highly likely that she even incorporated the flower into her cooking.

A prevalent fan theory proposes that Kie utilized Blue Spider Lily in medicinal mixtures and soups that aided her family’s recovery from illnesses. This could clarify the reason for Nezuko Kamado’s ability to withstand sunlight. In its initial stages, the theory may have seemed weak due to the abundance of speculation that formed its basis.

By examining Tanjiro’s accomplishments in the manga series, we can further strengthen this theory. Among the current generation of demon hunters, he is the sole practitioner of the Breath of the Sun. Not only did he successfully recall and utilize these techniques, but he also mastered them.

By accessing his ancestor’s memories, he was able to master 12 out of 13 forms on his own. His strong affinity for the Sun Breathing style may have been a subtle hint from the author, revealing that the Kamado family had knowledge of the Blue Spider Lily.

It is quite ironic that the Demon King came close to obtaining the Blue Spider Lily. There was a possibility that he could have consumed the flower if he had eaten or drank a dish that contained it. However, his deep-seated hatred for the Kamado family, who were linked to the Breath of the Sun, prevented him from doing so. It is speculated that Muzan could have achieved immortality if he had consumed one of the family members, as they had access to the ingredient he had been seeking.

The second databook released by the Demon Slayer officials provided fans with answers regarding Nezuko’s ability to withstand the sun. It was also revealed that the Blue Spider Lily had a significant impact on preventing Muzan from achieving immortality and ultimately led to his desired death, as highlighted in the databook. This outcome was eagerly anticipated by the entire fanbase.
