The anime seriesDemon Slayeris based on Koyohariu Gotpuge’s manga, which draws a line between humans and demons, who have been at each other’s throats for centuries. Fans have wondered about the possible outcome of one of the popular slayers. Kanae Kocho, a daunting Hashira, is centrally placed in this scenario, and her confrontation with the Upper Moon Two, Doma.

A debate on this has sparked an argumentative theory that says even if Kanae had survived her first clash with Doma, she might not have been able to protect herself or her sisters during the ultimate battle. This situation has hypothetically created a difference in demonic power and human limits.

Kanae Kocho’s Survival Couldn’t Ensure Future Survivals in Demon Slayer

Kanae Kocho showcased the power of Hashira by holding onto her own while fighting against the Upper Moon Two,Doma, until he pulled back because of the sunrise. She passed away after suffering major injuries in the battle. If she could have survived, she could have been a pillar of strength for her siblings in the series.

A YouTube user @AnimentOG suggests that, despite the Kocho sisters’ exceptional teamwork abilities and the survival of Kanae, they couldn’t surpass the enhanced raw power of Doma. Doma has acquired the power over centuries of experience and presents himself as an almost insurmountable challenge for them.

This what-if scenario as hoped by the fans might not get a happy ending. Doma has been an Upper Moon for centuries, and he might not have displayed all his strength while battling with Kanae. He also might unleash his full potential again while clashing with her, as he has now experienced the sheer strength of a Hasihira. Thus, whoever confronts him in the successive final battle might not be able to survive from his claws.

The Kocho Sisters Has a Devastating Fate While Facing Doma

The speculation arises from an understanding of the Upper Ranks Demons that they all possess special abilities and are all hand-picked by the demon lord, Muzan. This makes it nearly impossible to handle them bythe demon slayers. So, it might be too difficult even with Kanae’s experience, and Shinobu’s strategy to withstand Doma’s demonic powers.

The what-if scenario assured Kanae’ssurvival providing an advantageto the Demon Slayer Corps, but only for a short period of time. The catastrophic outcome of the eradication of all three sisters will eventually be carried out by Doma. He seemed to be frustrated that he couldn’t kill Kanae and eat her during their first meeting. So, he might unleash his full potential to take out all of them.

The hypothetical theory suggests that even if Kanae Kocho survived, she might eventually help in the growth of Doma’s power. This in turn will be devastating for the Kocho sisters’ fates in terms of survival.
