Muzan Kibutsuji's head was cut off by Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira.
The Decapitation of Muzan Kibutsuji
During a pivotal confrontation, Gyomei Himejima, renowned as the Stone Hashira and a formidable member of the Demon Slayer Corps, successfully managed to destroy Muzan Kibutsuji's head. This action was a significant moment in the battle against the Demon King.
Details of the Event
- The Attacker: It was Gyomei Himejima who delivered the critical blow, taking advantage of an opportunity to strike at Muzan.
- Muzan's Regeneration: Despite Gyomei's powerful attack, Muzan demonstrated his extraordinary abilities by instantly regrowing his head. This rapid regeneration highlighted his incredible resilience and the immense challenge in defeating him.
- Strategic Foresight: This outcome was anticipated by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. Kagaya had previously predicted Muzan's capacity to regenerate even after decapitation. He had specifically instructed Gyomei to not just aim for beheading, but to use the opportunity to restrain Muzan, with the ultimate goal of holding him until the rising sun could deliver the fatal blow to the Demon King.
This event showcased both Gyomei's immense strength in being able to momentarily incapacitate Muzan and Muzan's terrifying regenerative capabilities, which required a more comprehensive strategy than simple decapitation for his ultimate defeat.
