Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Overview

Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted charcoal seller in Taisho-era Japan whose life is shattered when demons slaughter his family. His younger sister Nezuko survives — but transformed into a demon herself. Determined to turn her back into a human and avenge his family, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps, an organization of swordsmen who hunt demons by night.

Across five arcs — from his training under Sakonji Urokodaki to the Mugen Train, the Entertainment District, the Swordsmith Village and the Hashira Training — Tanjiro fights alongside the loud-mouthed Zenitsu, the boar-headed Inosuke and the elite Hashira, mastering breathing techniques and closing in on Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king behind it all.
