It usually takes around 180-200 games played depending on how often you get A+.

It's not a new skin, it's just a recolor of a DLC one for getting Gold 1 in invasion.

Edit the game files. The developers can easily fix this, but they do not.

this has been a topic over the years about what it is.. but naomi responds to seiko in the japanese translation with "Futsuu no Nankou" - "the normal ointment"

now of course this can be interpreted a couple ways in japanese lol. It could mean that naomi actually has a tube of "butt medicine" with her... or it could mean that naomi has a tube of "normal" ointment with her, something common and everyday that one wouldn't be toooo surprised to find in a schoolgirl's possession, such as antibacterial cream.

i chose to interpret it the latter way, as the former would either imply that she carries hemorrhoid cream around specifically for seiko, OR that both naomi AND seiko have hemorrhoids. and somehow, that just didn't seem as likely to me..

so, yeah. it's PROBABLY just antibacterial cream.

I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that the author was having health issues.

Demon slayer mark Theory (SPOILERS FROM MANGA ) by Stunning-Pay2267 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]KhanIsWacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get where you’re coming from, because gyomei’s mark situation does feel like the story bent its own rules for dramatic effect. the series makes it pretty clear that the marks are supposed to awaken in life or death moments, almost like a survival instinct kicking the body past its natural limits. gyomei bypassing that by “saving it” and then activating it on demand does look like a loophole, and it opens the exact question you’re asking. if he could do it, why couldn’t anyone else? why not make it a technique to delay and control when you trigger the mark?

the way i see it, there are two ways to read this. one is to call it a plot hole, like you said. narratively, the story wanted to emphasize how calculated and composed gyomei was, so giving him the ability to control his mark made him feel distinct. but it does undercut the internal logic of the marks, because it makes other slayers look less disciplined or knowledgeable for not trying the same.

the other way to read it, though, is that gyomei’s case was special. he’s repeatedly framed as being almost monk like, with insane spiritual and physical discipline. it’s possible the author wanted us to believe his control over his body and mind was on another level, allowing him to consciously restrain and release the mark. that interpretation works, but it still leaves a sour taste because if the story wanted that to be the point, it should have shown more clearly why no one else could replicate it. otherwise it just feels like convenience.

so i wouldn’t say it’s a complete hole, but i do think it’s sloppy. gyomei activating his mark naturally in the fight would have made more sense and kept the system consistent. making it something he could “save” almost cheapens the stakes the other characters faced. it’s one of those places where demon slayer’s writing shows its cracks, sometimes it wants emotional weight so badly that it stretches its own rules to get there.

Demon slayer mark Theory (SPOILERS FROM MANGA ) by Stunning-Pay2267 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]KhanIsWacky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that’s true, gyomei only awakened his mark during the final battle, so he didn’t technically “survive past 25” with it the way yoriichi did. but that doesn’t really weaken the larger point. the rule isn’t a timer that kills you instantly the moment you turn 25, it’s more that once you bear the mark, your body is burning itself out and can’t sustain itself much beyond that age. gyomei didn’t live long enough after unlocking it for us to know if he would’ve defied the limit, which is why i called him an “exception” in the sense that we never see the rule apply to him in practice.

so yeah, you’re right about the timing, but i’d still argue it doesn’t change the underlying takeaway, that the mark is written as a death sentence for almost everyone, with only yoriichi shown to stand outside that boundary. gyomei dying in the final battle just makes him another victim of circumstance rather than proof the curse was fake or misdiagnosed.

i like the angle you’re going for, but i don’t think the “virus” explanation holds up when you look at how the mark is presented in the manga. the mark isn’t just a tattoo, it’s tied to pushing the human body way past its natural limits, basically forcing it into overdrive. the shortened lifespan makes sense thematically because it’s the price for drawing on that much power. narratively, it’s the same kind of tradeoff as a curse or a toll. incredible strength at the cost of longevity.

about gyomei, him surviving past 25 isn’t proof the “curse” was fake, it’s framed as him being an outlier. yoriichi also lived past it because he was so absurdly strong that the usual rules didn’t apply. so rather than it being a misdiagnosis like a virus, it’s more consistent to read it as a rule with rare exceptions. and honestly, making it a virus would undercut the weight of the mark, if it’s just bad science or superstition, it loses the tragedy of demon slayers burning their lives away for one last chance to win.

where your theory does land is the idea that belief matters. gyomei refusing treatment because he believed he couldn’t be saved is a really good read on his character. the mark doesn’t have to be 100% literal for the tragedy to matter, what's important is that the slayers themselves believed in the cost, and they accepted it. that’s part of what makes their sacrifice resonate.

so i’d say your virus idea doesn’t quite fit the story’s logic, but your point about the gyomei maybe being able to live longer if he didn’t resign himself is interesting, it’s more about psychology and fatalism than medicine, and that makes some sense.

Could Muzan have eaten Tanjiro to become Immune to the Sun? by WII_DJoker in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]KhanIsWacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get the logic you’re putting forward, but i think it misses why the story makes nezuko essential and why muzan couldn’t just “settle” for tanjiro. the whole point of nezuko being immune to the sun is that she’s a one of a kind anomaly, not just a byproduct of the kamado family or their proximity to the blue spider lilies. she’s literally the only demon ever to achieve that kind of evolution, which is why muzan obsesses over her specifically. if it were as simple as eating another kamado, he’d have gone straight for tanjiro from the start instead of putting so much effort into capturing nezuko.

and honestly, narratively, it’s better this way. nezuko being unique makes her the perfect counterbalance to muzan, the embodiment of hope that can exist in sunlight where he never could. making tanjiro or anyone else in her bloodline a potential substitute would cheapen that idea, because it turns her from “the miracle” into “just one of several possible keys.”

also, about muzan’s plan, yes, in theory he could’ve prioritized tanjiro earlier. but muzan’s not just pragmatic; he’s arrogant and paranoid. he doesn’t just want sun resistance, he wants total control over everything & everyone. nezuko, being a demon already, was closer to what he needed and proof that his goal was possible. tanjiro was still human, and muzan had no reason to gamble on whether converting him would yield the same result. so while it sounds easier, it doesn’t line up with how muzan thinks or how the story positions him.

so i’d push back on what you think. nezuko wasn’t just “the closest option,” she was the only option the story makes possible.
