Synopsis

After his family is viciously murdered, a young boy named Tanjiro Kamado joins the Demon Slayer Corps in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. With every mission, Tanjiro grows stronger, along with his unwavering resolve to protect others. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the strongest members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Yoshiwara Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro, who had been inhabiting the city for many years. As a fierce battle rages on between the Corps members and the Upper Rank demons, all hope seems lost.
