The Upper Rank Demons Gather
In the aftermath of the Demon Slayers’ triumph in Yoshiwara, their achievement catches the attention and ire of Muzan. He calls upon the remaining Upper Rank demons to serve as a reminder of their purpose. The gathering quickly becomes a showcase of their animosity towards each other. Upper Three Akaza delivers a devastating blow to Upper Two Doma, even removing his jaw, yet the rainbow-eyed demon laughs it off. Upper Four Hantengu and Upper Five Gyokko also make their presence known, but all eyes are on Upper One Kokushibo as he makes a grand entrance.
Tanjiro Kamado’s Recovery
Meanwhile, Tanjiro finds himself safely recovering at the Butterfly Mansion. During his two-month coma, he dreams of two individuals: one wearing a familiar black and green checked haori, and the other adorned with hanafuda earrings. When he finally awakens, he is surrounded by his friends, including a relieved Inosuke. Tanjiro begins his rehabilitation just one week later, while Inosuke eagerly resumes his demon slaying duties.
Journey to the Swordsmith Village
With Tanjiro’s katana damaged in the explosive battle, he embarks on a quest to the Swordsmith Village in search of Mr. Haganekuza to repair it. However, reaching the village is no easy task. Tanjiro and Nezuko must navigate blindfolded and with their ears plugged. Skilled guides guide them through a secret, winding path that keeps the village safe from demon attacks.
Encounter with the Hashiras
Upon reaching the hidden village, Tanjiro is overjoyed to reunite with the friendly face of Mitsuri, the Love Hashira. Mitsuri and Nezuko quickly form a bond, but the initial meeting with Muichiro, the Mist Hashira, leaves a less favorable impression on Tanjiro. He witnesses Muichiro speaking harshly to a young boy named Kotetsu, reprimanding him for not following orders. Muichiro’s desire to fight a mysterious training automaton, the Yoriichi Type Zero, clashes with Kotetsu’s reluctance to see the unique mechanical doll destroyed. Tanjiro defends the swordsmiths, emphasizing their equal importance to the swordsmen they serve.
Tanjiro’s Training Begins
Moved by Tanjiro’s defense, Kotetsu thanks him and invites him to train with the mechanical doll. The Yoriichi Type Zero, equipped with five arms and capable of executing 108 different moves, proves to be a formidable opponent for the determined Demon Slayer. Under Kotetsu’s strict guidance, Tanjiro undergoes grueling training. To further push him, Kotetsu restricts Tanjiro from eating until he successfully lands a hit on the automaton.
Days pass, and Tanjiro endures hunger and survives solely on rainwater. In his desperation, he discovers a new way to predict his opponent’s moves. Finally, with one powerful strike, the automaton crumbles, revealing an antique sword concealed within it.
