We just got the latest episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 but we already have a major teaser for next week's big moment. The first image from Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 16 has just been dropped and it confirms that Tanjiro Kamado isn't giving up in the epic showdown against Daki and Gyutaro. In addition to that, the official title and release date for Yukaku-hen Episode 9 has been revealed!

The first image from next week's episode was shared by the official Demon Slayer Twitter account. The still features Tanjiro wielding his sword with a determined look on his face. Check it out below.

It's an awesome look at things to come in the Entertainment District arc's ninth episode. In Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 15, Tanjiro finally recovered Nezuko's box and placed his sleeping sister inside before returning to Tengen Uzui's aid. At the same time, Zenitsu Agatsume and Inosuke Hashibira joined the fight, facing off against Daki.

Daki recognizes Zenitsu, who begins talking to her in his sleep. He tells her to apologize to the girl she punished and that Zenitsu defended, leading to Daki attacking him. However, the demon refuses and insists she and Gyutaro are simply giving humans what they deserve. It is then revealed that her brother had given Daki one of his eyes, making her even more powerful.

The latest episode has truly been exciting but there is little doubt that the action will continue in Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 16. Can the Demon Slayers finally succeed in defeating the two Upper Rank Six demons? The truth will be revealed next week.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 Episode 16 is titled Defeating an Upper Rank Demon ("Jogen no Oni o Taoshitara") and takes inspiration from the manga's 88th chapter How to Defeat Them ("Taoshikata"). Yukaku-hen Episode 9 will air on Sunday, January 30, 2022, at 11:15 PM JST.
