Previously, Tanjiro had seen that water breathing (and with it the teachings of Urokodaki) were incompatible with his body, and as a result he began to splinter his sword. But as he struggles to fend off Gyutaro’s venomous blood cuts in Demon Slayer 2×15, Tanjiro has a brainwave that brings him back to his teachings.
