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.
The fight with Kokushibo, the highest-ranking demon among Muzan's servants, is over. Although Himejima and Sanemi defeated Kokushibo and sent him to hell, the price the Demon Slayer Corps has paid is very high. Kiriya Ubuyashiki, the new leader of the Demon Slayers, struggles to recover from the losses. With the battle against Muzan far from over, the remaining fighters will need his help more than ever. Meanwhile, deep within Infinity Castle, Tanjiro and his friends come face-to-face with their nemesis at last…
