So - we've learned that Noshiko is down to just one tail.

This despite the fact that she has only been seen to break two knives on the show and her husband says she's "sacrificed five" prior to Letharia Vulpina.

Here is the bit from that episodes recap.


 * Inside the pages have been cut to create nine slots. Each is designed to hold a single black knife. Mr. Yukimura tells his wife that she needs to tell Kira “especially about this” indicating the book. He says she has already “sacrificed five.” He says three of the Oni are gone then asks “how many tails are you willing to sacrifice?” She says all of them if she has to.


 * She then removes one of the knives, about a foot in length, all black with a rectangular hilt. She snaps the knife in two causing her husband to wince as if in pain. A pale blue light escapes the two broken pieces of the knife. She lays the pieces down and repeats the process with a second knife. She says “these Oni will be stronger, much stronger.”

What happened to the other tail?

Was one of the slots already empty before they started?
