PREMISE
Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organisation dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister, Nezuko, was turned into a demon. As he grew stronger, he deepened his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members. Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira. For example, he worked with Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train. He also worked with Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District. Furthermore, he fought with Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. Because the head of the Demon Corps is in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters. However, they are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
The destination where Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.
