The Blue Spider Lily in Demon Slayer is probably the most important thing in the entire series that the antagonist Kibutsuji Muzan has been looking for since the beginning. It can be said that the entire series is based around this particular flower as it can grant Muzan the ability to walk in the sun, thus making him stronger.
Although their significance was alluded to in the Season 1 outro, the Blue Spider Lilies make their first appearance in the anime during Season 2. Since the Blue Spider Lily was the source of Muzan’s current powers, his desire for it has been central to his goals for centuries.
According to legend, this flower grows along the banks of the Sanzu River, which is known as the river of the dead in Japanese Buddhism. However, a Blue Spider Lily has found its way into the real world and has been spotted in the backyard of an X user, which has got the Demon Slayer fans worried.
The Importance of Blue Spider Lily in Demon Slayer
The Blue Spider Lily is a legendary flower from the Demon Slayer universe that blooms for a very little two to three days a year, and only during the day. The Blue Spider Lily is an important component of the medication that was prescribed to Muzan during his final days.
The medication in question is what gave him the ability to transform into a demon. As Muzan did not create the medication, he has been looking for it nonstop. He searched for the flower for years, believing he could use it to complete the process and create the ideal body that would last forever, but he was never successful.
He bases his belief on the flower’s purported ability to help safeguard him from sunlight, which is his greatest vulnerability. However, he has been unsuccessful in locating the flower and has caused mayhem searching for it. But it seems like the flower has entered the real world which has got the Demon Slayer fans tensed.
Demon Slayer Fans Get Worried as Blue Spider Lily Enters Real World
An X(Formerly Twitter) user by the name of @Noodlesdori1 recently posted a picture on the social networking site of a flower that looks exactly like the Blue Spider Lilly from Demon Slayer. The resemblance of the flower with the ones shown in the series and the manga was uncanny which brought all the Demon Slayer fans together.
Fans of the popular series jokingly started talking about how Muzan may now come into the real world looking for it thus bringing a huge threat to the real world.
