Demon Slayer Season 2 Featured Sneaky Glimpse at Daki's Human Life


We already know that Daki hates humans and hates to be reminded that she was once human herself. This was established when Tanjiro Kamado did so during their fight. Interestingly, the Upper Rank demon has a good reason for hating people and we got a glimpse at that in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 Episode 14!

In Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 14, Daki continued to face off against Nezuko who is revealed to be more powerful than the Upper Rank Six. Daki realizes that Nezuko's regenerative skills are superior to hers as she tries to sever the young demon's limbs with her obi. When Nezuko's blood splashes on Daki, it ignites and burns the demon.

It's a shocking scene but there is also a fleeting moment where Daki recalls two people looking at her then turning away. We also see two hands reaching out to each other before she is completely consumed by the flames.

The hands appear to be human and the fire surrounding them is not Nezuko's pink-hued flames. This means it is Daki's own memory of a certain time when she had to deal with fire. It's also interesting to note that Daki's personality somehow changes after being burned as if she's regressed to being a bratty child.

We won't spoil everything about Daki's past but it was a terrifying tease at what she may have gone through when she was still human. Hopefully, we'll get to learn more about Daki and her brother Gyutaro in the upcoming episodes of Demon Slayer Season 2.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 Episode 15 is titled Gathering ("Shuketsu") which refers to the manga's 87th chapter where Daki and Gyutaro continue to fight Tengen Uzui. Episode 8 of the Entertainment District arc will premiere on Sunday, January 23, 2022, at 11:15 PM JST.
