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.
At Mt. Natagumo, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke battle a terrible family of spider demons.
