Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Show Summary, Upcoming Episodes and TV Guide

As Mitsuri holds off Zohakuten, Tanjiro, Nezuko and Genya use this time to chase after Hantengu's main body. The three manage to find the tree ball that Hantengu is hiding in, but when they slice it open, they find that it is completely empty. Hantengu makes a run for it again, and Tanjiro and the others continue chasing him. Seeing Hantengu running about, Genya snaps and hurls a tree at him, and Nezuko jumps at him!

After defeating the goldfish demons, Muichiro heads to the studio where Haganezuka and Kanamori are. There, in order to disrupt Haganezuka's focus on whetting the sword, Gyokko was attempting to take Kanamori for hostage. Muichiro arrives in the nick of time, receives the Nichirin Sword from Kanamori, and challenges Gyokko once again...

As Tanjiro was just about to sever the neck of the fifth demon, another demon approaches from behind him. This demon turns out to be Zohakuten, a demon created by combining all four Emotion Demons into one body, marked with the word 'Hatred.' Tanjiro makes a narrow escape from the attack and fails to sever the neck of the fifth demon. After hearing Zohakuten calling him and his comrades 'awful villains' for trying to sever the neck of the cowering demon, Tanjiro is enraged and decides to face him...

Upon arriving, Mitsuri comes to Tecchin, the chief of the village, and finds out all of his guards have been defeated.

Tanjiro becomes disappointed after he discovers the sword rusted. However, a swole Hagenazuka appears, revealing he trained in solitude to be able to forge a better sword for Tanjiro. As such, he offers to restore the rusty sword, giving Tanjiro another one in the meantime. That night, while trying to befriend Genya, swordsmith Kanamori is brutally devoured by Gyokko who, alongside Hantengu, has found the village. After Muichiro is moved by Tanjiro's sense of kindness towards others, Hantengu enters their room, only to be quickly beheaded. However, two individual demons regenerate from the severed body parts, each with different, powerful abilities. After one of them blasts Muichiro far away, the other nearly electrocutes Tanjiro with a staff, before Genya appears and beheads them both with a sawed-off shotgun and a Nichirin knife. However, Hantengu again duplicates, and one of the demons deafens Tanjiro with a sonic attack while Nezuko tries to defend Genya. Meanwhile, Muichiro runs back to assist, but finds Kotetsu in peril from one of Gyokko's spawn. Initially electing not to help him, he saves him just before being eaten after remembering about the importance of kindness with others.

After their battle with the Upper Rank Six siblings, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko are found by the Kakushi. In the Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsujisummons the remaining five Upper Rank demons – Akaza, Upper Five Gyokko, Upper Four Hantengu, Upper Two Doma and Upper One Kokushibo. He admonishes them for their failure to kill the Ubuyashikis and find the Blue Spider Lily. When Gyokko provides new information, he is sent on a joint mission with Hantengu. While Zenitsu and Inosuke are summoned to individual missions, Tanjiro continues his rehabilitation. When his swordsmith Hotaru Haganezuka refuses to forge him a new sword, Tanjiro is told to meet him at the Swordsmith Village to discuss the matter in person. He arrives with Nezuko and meets the village's chief, Tecchin Tecchikawahara, who reassures Tanjiro he will bring Hotaru back to build the sword. Tanjiro is later shown to the village's hot springs where he meets the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, who is initially dejected after being ignored by an unknown person. While in the hot springs, Tanjiro encounters Genya, the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa's younger brother and fellow Demon Slayer, who refuses Tanjiro's hospitality and storms off. At the village, Mitsuri hints at Tanjiro about a 'secret weapon' hidden somewhere that can make him stronger and bids farewell to the siblings. The next day, while searching for the weapon, Tanjiro finds the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito in an argument with someone and sees that seemingly with them is a man from his dreams.

As the fierce battle draws to an end, Tanjiro and Uzui behead Gyutaro just as Zenitsu and Inosuke behead Daki. But then, Gyutaro unleashes a devastating Blood Demon Art, burying the city in rubble. When Tanjiro awakens, he joins Nezuko and Zenitsu, only to find Inosuke and Uzui on the brink of death from Gyutaro's poison...

Hinatsuru's use of wisteria poison leaves Gyutaro momentarily vulnerable, but Tanjiro and Uzui's attacks fall just short. Using his Blood Demon Art, Gyutaro vanishes from Uzui's sight only to reappear assaulting Hinatsuru. Tanjiro and Uzui attempt to save her, but they are thwarted by Daki's Belt.

As Nezuko rushes to aid Tanjiro during a critical moment, her appearance begins to gradually take on a demon form as she sustains Daki's attacks. Nezuko is able to overpower Daki as her demon form accelerates; however, she turns her attention to innocent bystanders injured during the battle and charges towards them. While Tanjiro attempts to restrain Nezuko, Daki draws near...

Facing Daki alone, Tanjiro tries to use Hinokami Kagura but is hampered by the extreme stress it causes his body. Inosuke and Tengen locate the demon's victims and meet the demon responsible for abducting Zenitsu and his wives. 

After arriving at the Entertainment District, Tanjiro and his comrades infiltrate each House where Uzui's wives, Suma, Makio and Hinatsuru, work. While working as apprentices and searching for their whereabouts, Inosuke hears that Makio has been shutting herself away from everyone in her room.

After the Mugen Train incident, Akaza visits Muzan Kibutsuji. Guided by a crow, Tanjiro Kamado heads off to the Rengoku residence to convey Kyojuro Rengoku's last messages to his father and little brother. Tanjiro's group return to the Butterfly Mansion.

Tanjiro has finally slashed Enmu's neck with the help of Inosuke. The tremors from the train flipped it over the rails. As silence deepens a mysterious figure approaches from behind.

With Tanjiro successfully awakening from his dream, he confronts the demon responsible, Lower One Enmu. But the situation challenges Tanjiro's resolve when Enmu proves more powerful that any demon he's ever faced.

Kyojuro Rengoku heads to the Mugen Train to investigate the disappearance of over forty passengers and encounters a demon along the way. After saving the people attacked by the demon, he finally arrives at the Mugen Train. What lies ahead of him?

As Tanjiro and the others are devoted to their rehabilitation training, the absolute master of the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, gathers the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki. The demons, too, are preparing to make their next move. As training draws to a close, Tanjiro has improved to the point where he can fight on equal terms with Kanao. Just then, he receives word of a new mission from his Kasugai Crow.

The injured Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke are sent to the home of the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, for treatment. Two weeks later, Tanjiro and Inosuke start rehabilitation training. But the drills are brutal, and they find themselves broken in spirit. Unaware of the grueling regimen, Zenitsu joins them late and is visibly enthusiastic in front of girls, but...

After the battle is over, Tanjiro and Nezuko are taken to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. This is where the Hashira Meeting between the Corps leader, Ubuyashiki, and the Hashiras, the most powerful swordsmen in the Corps, is to be held. The Hashiras censure Tanjiro for violating the Demon Slayer Corps by protecting a demon. And then, the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, raises his sword against Nezuko...

When Rui assaults him with his Blood Demon Art, Tanjiro braces himself for certain death. As his life flashes before his eyes, he suddenly remembers his father's dance, the kagura, and unleashes a new, non-Water Breathing attack. Hinokami Kagura Dance. Knowing that he'll be receiving a simultaneous blow from the demon, he uses his new move to slice off Rui's head. As Tanjiro crawls towards Nezuko, who lies on the ground, riddled with wounds, someone appears before him.

Tanjiro and Inosuke face off against the Father Spider Demon of Mt. Natagumo. Tanjiro unleashes an attack, only to get hurled away by the demon's overwhelming power. Landing near a river, he comes upon the young demon Rui torturing the Sister Spider Demon. When Rui calls their bond of terror and hatred 'a family's bond,' Tanjiro is enraged. So begins the battle between Rui and Tanjiro.

Tanjiro and Inosuke battle the Demon Slayers trapped by spider webs. After slashing the threads and destroying the webs, they head deeper into the mountain. The farther they advance through the forest, the thicker the threads become, and those under their control start moving in ways impossible for a human being. Stopping the Demon Slayers without hurting them isn't going to be easy, but then Tanjiro makes a certain move...

After a desperate fight to the death, Tanjiro prevails over Kyogai. He exits the house to find Zenitsu who had escaped earlier. But it is then that he sees the strange circumstances before him... The battered Zenitsu holding the box containing Nezuko in his arms while the man in the boar's head mask stands in the way with two Nichirin Swords drawn.

Inside the house, where the rooms spin each time the tsuzumi is played, Tanjiro gets separated from Zenitsu Agatsuma. Without Tanjiro by his side, Zenitsu is overcome by fear and despair as he takes Shoichi through the house. Meanwhile, Tanjiro meets the master of the house, the tsuzumi-playing demon, and an odd-looking man wearing a boar's head mask.

Tanjiro's crisis continues. He uses multiple forms of the Water Breathing technique to hold out against Yahaba's final Blood Demon Art, the 'Kouketsu Arrow.' Meanwhile, Nezuko and Susamaru are still battling it out. Worried about the outcome, Tamayo unleashes her own Blood Demon Art.

The next mission is in Asakusa, Tokyo. Tanjiro is taken aback by the opulent Taisho Era cityscape, but soon picks up the demon's scent there. His pursuit of the scent leads him to Muzan Kibutsuji. Tanjiro attempts to strike him down. But Kibutsuji transforms a passerby into demon, triggering a commotion. As Tanjiro desperately tries to get things under control, someone appears before him..

Tanjiro is now clad in the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps. His Nichirin Sword on his hip, and Nezuko, now awake, in a special box made by Urokodaki on his back, he heads out for his first assignment. A town to the northwest where girls have been vanishing nightly. There, Tanjiro meets Kazumi, haggard with worry after his girlfriend's been abducted. Though he does catch the scent of a demon nearby, there's just no demon in sight. Tanjiro is sure that a demon is behind this sinister incident...

To pass Final Selection, one must survive for seven days on Mt. Fujikasane where demons captured by the Demon Slayers have been imprisoned. So begins the battle for survival between the young swordsmen and the demons. Armed with the breathing techniques and stances he'd learned from Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro slashes demon after demon. His two years of training have not gone to waste. But just then, a morphed demon appears out of nowhere.

At Giyu Tomioka's urging, Tanjiro heads for Mt. Sagiri with his sister Nezuko who's been turned into a demon. During the night, Tanjiro catches the smell of blood from inside a temple. He enters, thinking that someone might be hurt, only to come upon a man-eating demon. When the demon attacks, Tanjiro manages to fight back with his hatchet, but the demon's strength is overwhelming. Just as the demon is about to finish him off, Tanjiro is saved by none other than...
