Synopsis
In Taisho-era Japan, kindhearted charcoal seller Tanjiro Kamado returns home to find his family slaughtered by a demon and his younger sister Nezuko transformed into one. Determined to find a cure for her and hunt down the demon responsible, he sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer.
Tanjiro goes to see the Stone Hashira, Himejima, who intends to prepare him for the battles to come. The training to become a Hashira—a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps—is intense and demanding, and earning Himejima's approval seems impossible, but Tanjiro won't give up! Meanwhile, the demon lord Muzan continues to search for the location of Nezuko and Ubuyashiki.
