On meeting the siblings, Tamayo agreed to help the two by creating a cure for Nezuko on the condition that Tanjiro will provide her blood samples extracted from the Junikizuki or the Twelve Demon Moons. Tamayo’s medicine was extremely important because, towards the end, Muzan attempts to pass on all of his blood to Tanjiro, who later turns into a demon and is cured by the very medicine that Nezuko had consumed.

Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro’s teacher, plays a huge role in how Nezuko perceives human beings other than Tanjiro. Every time Nezuko saw a human being, Urokodaki would show her a picture of her family. Therefore, any human that she saw would resemble someone from her family, which brought out feelings of love and affection towards humans.

In Demon Slayer, she is exceptionally strong and assists Tanjiro during his missions. Two of her abilities that stand out are awakened form and immunity to sunlight; this gave Nezuko an edge during combat against the Twelve Demon Moons.
