Theory Briefing
- A fan theory imagines Muzan successfully corrupting Nezuko, turning her into Demon Slayer's ultimate villain rather than its symbol of hope.
- Nezuko's resistance to Muzan's control is central to the actual story, making her full corruption a dramatic reversal of the series' premise.
- The theory hinges on Muzan's plan to create a demon who can survive sunlight — a power Nezuko uniquely develops — falling entirely under his command.
- Tanjiro's entire motivation would collapse if his mission to save Nezuko became a mission to stop her.
