①Is the Muzan Kibutsuji inspired by a disease?

There are many motifs in Demon Slayer.

As a simple example, demons are based on the motif of contagious diseases.

They are only motifs, and not the entire character is bound to that image.

I previously have described article that Twelve Kizuki is based on infectious diseases.

And now that I know what disease Muzan Kibutsuji is based on, I will introduce it to you.

②Muzan Kibutsuji is a demon with cancer motif.

I know that Muzan Kibutsuji is a demon with cancer motif.

Demon are “pathogens that can only multiply by using people as a medium, do not reproduce on their own, and attack the human body.”

Upper Rank Demon are vicious epidemics that plague humanity and have not yet been eradicated, while the other miscellaneous Demons are diseases that have been eradicated or have mild symptoms.

So what is Muzan Kibutsuji, born from a human? It is the worst disease that can be born from the human body, a “neoplasm”, a “cancer cell”.

The skill of splitting the body of Muzan is also based on the worst technique of cancer cells, “metastasis”.

Sunlight, which is also effective against Muzan, probably express radiation therapy. Sunlight also contains radiation. (It is mitigated by the ozone layer, etc.).

The poison was very effective in defeating Muzan.

This may represent the medicine that defeats cancer.
