00:10Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most terrifying demon
00:15slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba scenes.
00:28Taking place earlier on in the series, this horrific scene established the merciless nature
00:35of demons and the show's willingness to depict genuine terror.
00:39While Tanjiro investigates a series of disappearances, we're shown a girl called Tokie silently
00:45stalked by a dark shadow in her own home, following her all the way to her bedroom.
00:53Just as she falls asleep, the shadow envelops her futon and two arms emerge, suddenly grabbing
00:59her and pulling her in.
01:09The animation brilliantly captures her desperate struggle, with her terrified expression becoming
01:14one of the series' first truly haunting images.
01:229.
01:23Gyouko's Art
01:24Out of all the 12 kizuki, there's no doubt that Gyouko is the creepiest of them all.
01:30Not only are his looks unsettling, but his powers are downright terrifying, as clearly shown in
01:36this scene.
01:37An unfortunate resident of Swordsmith Village comes across one of his vases in the dead of
01:42nights, and is instantly sucked into its small opening.
01:51Moments later, he spurted out, showcasing his crushed, distorted body.
02:02Yoko further displays this crude ability later on, using several corpses mangled up into his
02:09so-called beautiful art piece.
02:158.
02:16Daki Drops Omitsu
02:17After a string of bad incidents involving the Oiran, Warabihime, the manager of Kyogoku house,
02:24Omitsu confronts her, telling her that she needs to stop whatever it is she's doing.
02:29Little does she realize that Warabihime is actually a demon, one of the upper moons known
02:35as Daki, who doesn't take kindly to her accusations at all.
02:46Before Omitsu can strike her with a knife, Daki shreds her disguise and takes her to the
02:51sky wrapped in her obi.
02:58Unable to do anything except cry in terror, Daki taunts the poor woman before dropping
03:04her to her death.
03:13The past of the stone Hashira is a tragedy steeped in a truly horrifying nightmare.
03:19This flashback reveals that Gyome used to raise orphans at a temple.
03:24However, one fateful night, a demon crept in while they slept and proceeded to slaughter
03:35them.
03:39With most of the orphans dead, Gyome goes berserk defending the remaining child in a visceral
03:45display.
03:52The sheer terror of helpless children being mercilessly picked off, coupled with the heartbreaking
03:57betrayal of a surviving child is a scene we won't soon forget.
04:07Although this moment is mostly played as a gag, there's no denying the true horror that
04:12lies beneath it.
04:13While trying to find Tanjiro and Inosuke, Zenitsu comes across a creepy spider-like creature with
04:20a human face.
04:24being the coward that he is, Zenitsu immediately bolts but finds himself in a much worse situation,
04:31hanging on a giant spider's web or humans who are currently going through a disgusting
04:36metamorphosis into the same type of creature he just ran from.
04:46To make matters worse, Zenitsu is undergoing the same terrifying process himself as evident
04:53by the disgusting poisonous bite on his hand.
04:575.
04:58Muzan Slaughters the Lower Moons Witnessing a casual mass execution on screen is
05:04always disturbing, but when it's delivered by the king of demons himself, it reaches new
05:09levels of terror.
05:11Muzan Kibutsuji summons his lower-ranked demons only to berate and then ruthlessly exterminate
05:17them one by one.
05:23His ability to read their very thoughts, coupled with his chilling indifference to their desperate
05:28pleas, showcases his absolute tyrannical power.
05:40It's not a battle, it's a chilling demonstration of control, proving that even powerful demons
05:45are mere pawns in his terrifying game of dominance.
05:57The event that jumpstarts the entire series remains one of its most chilling moments, despite only
06:04being shown in its gruesome aftermath.
06:09Tanjiro returns home to find his entire family brutally slaughtered, their bodies frozen in
06:15death starkly highlighting Muzan's indiscriminate cruelty.
06:25This silent horror, the sheer scale of the devastation, immediately establishes the perilous
06:31stakes of this world.
06:32Perhaps the most disturbing part is the aftermath, with Tanjiro desperately carrying his sister
06:38through the snow, racing against time to save the only family member who might survive.
06:50While battling it out against Nezuko, Suzumaru is tricked into mentioning Muzan's name
06:55by Tameo and her blood demon art.
07:01She quickly realizes her mistake and begins to beg for forgiveness, but it's all for naught.
07:06Her body violently rebels against her, with giant arms bursting from her abdomen and mouth.
07:18This gruesome scene doesn't last long, as her head is violently crushed by one of the
07:23arms.
07:23But what elevates this scene beyond mere body horror, is Suzumaru's realization and subsequent
07:30terror as she realizes her grave mistake.
07:372.
07:38Tanjiro's Rude Awakening
07:40Trapped inside a blissful dream where his family are still alive, Tanjiro discovers the
07:45only way to escape Enmu's hypnotic trap is to turn his sword against himself.
07:58The sheer resolve required to perform such a drastic, psychologically disturbing act, even
08:03in a dream, is truly terrifying.
08:06Even after breaking free from the dream, Enmu continuously puts Tanjiro back to sleep, forcing
08:12Tanjiro to commit the act many times over.
08:25It happens so many times that reality begins to blend itself with the dream, and Tanjiro
08:31almost slices himself in the real world.
08:33But thankfully, Inosuke is there to stop him, just in time.
09:011.
09:03Muzan Shows No Mercy
09:05Muzan had already displayed his frightening abilities just moments before when he turned
09:10a random man into a demon with a swift scratch right in front of Tanjiro.
09:15But clearly, this wasn't enough for the Demon King.
09:21When two drunkards get aggressive with him in an alleyway, he casually murders them with
09:26superhuman strength.
09:32Honestly, they should think themselves lucky, as the woman they're with undergoes a much
09:37worse fate.
09:39After stabbing her in the forehead with his finger, Muzan begins to inject his blood into
09:46her.
09:46This causes her body to mutate into a giant mass of flesh before bursting into a cloud
09:53of blood.
