Koyoharu Gotouge has explained how Muzan was able to find Kagaya Ubuyashiki
The war declared between the demon hunter organization and the army commanded by Muzan It's something that has been going on for centuriesCountless deaths on both sides until reaching the current generation, led by Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Although this character does not participate in the battle front directly, his presence is fundamental, since he is the leader of the organization and the one who offers them resources, money and protection for members. Not to mention that he is also a great strategist. His very existence poses problems for Muzan, so one might wonder why the latter has not tried to eliminate him before.
And the answer is yes it has. Keeping in mind that the Ubuyashiki descendants They are the ones who assume the leadership of this organizationMuzan has sent his demons to seek out the residence of these characters and annihilate them. In fact, on one occasion, he was successful.
In the Sengoku Era, Kokushibo found the residence of the organization's leader and assassinated him.
As part of the bonus content for Demon Slayer manga volume 21, Koyoharu Gotouge revealed that during the Sengoku Era, the Upper Moon One found the mansion of the leader of the hunter organization of demons of that time, killing the leader and bringing his head to Muzan. This was a great victory for the demons and a heavy blow to the organization.
Following this, subsequent leaders who took over the position have dedicated greater effort to protect and hide the residence in which they live. In addition, they created the Kakushi group, which are young people who do not actively participate in fights, as they have no talent for swords, but they support the organization with operational tasks and helping to hide both the location of the mansion and the Blacksmith Village, for example.
It is for this reason that Muzan and his demons had not been able to find the Ubuyashiki residence, Although it is something they have been trying non-stopBut why now? The answer is very simple.
Nakime's tracking power was enhanced by becoming Upper Moon and, in this way, he was able to follow some members of the organization until he found the Ubuyashiki residence.
After what happened during the Blacksmith Village arc, in which Tanjiro and company They defeated two Upper MoonsMuzan had to fill these empty spaces, so he shared more of his blood with Nakime, making her the new Upper Moon Four.
This character has been characterized by his great tracking skills, which were extraordinarily enhanced after receiving more blood from Muzan. Then, in the company of Kibutsuji, He spent entire days spying and following some members of the organization with his demonic eyes until he finally found the location of the Ubuyashiki mansion.
The fact that Muzan has just found the Ubuyashiki residence is not a plot hole by any means, as it has been revealed that this character has invested heavily in protecting its locationAnd it wasn't until Nakime's involvement with her new abilities that this was possible. But, to Kibutsuji's surprise, Kagaya was waiting for him and had a great contingency plan, which surprised viewers during the broadcast of episode 8.
