In Demon Slayer 2x16 We witnessed what could become the cliffhanger of the year. Although we are only at the beginning of 2022, leaving the public with such an episode finale is an almost cruel move by the Ufotable studio, which has decided to leave two protagonists of the anime at the end of their lives.

It is about Inosuke and Tengen Uzui, both of whom were KO'd by Gyutaro, the stronger half of the Sixth Crescent. The Demon first manages to defeat the Pillar of Sound in a fight not shown in its final stages, with the story centering on Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke versus Daki in Demon Slayer 2x16.

After that, Gyutaro Stabbed in the back inosuke, with the episode ending with the reflections of Tanjiro, the scene's helpless bystander. The demon slayer in the boar mask was hit at a vital point, but the fans' biggest concern is Tengen Uzui: the Pillar of Sound was actually shown lying on the ground covered in blood and with a severed arm that we can see in @tweetKnYtweets.

The time to kill Inosuke doesn't seem right yet, but the same cannot be said for Uzui. Kyōjuro Rengoku He lost his life in the Mugen train story arc, and we know for a fact that despite his dedication, the Pillar of Sound is inferior to that of Flame. If he survives, we're sure Tengen can maintain the role of the pillarwith a severed arm?

Question that will be answered in the next episodes. Demon Slayer 2x16 showed us the anime's darkest moment yet, with an ending that only leaves room for one unhappy ending of the collision with the sixth crescent moon.
