Summary

Season 1

The protagonist, Tanjiro, lived a humble life selling charcoal. One evening, after being warned about demons in the night, he returns home to find his family brutally murdered. Only his sister, Nezuko, has survived, but she has been transformed into a man-eating demon. They are discovered by a demon slayer named Giyu, who, seeing the bond between Tanjiro and Nezuko, refrains from killing Nezuko and directs Tanjiro to a mentor named Sakonji Urokodaki. After mastering the water-breathing technique under Urokodaki's tutelage, Tanjiro becomes a demon slayer. Alongside his new comrades Zenitsu and Inosuke, he embarks on a journey to turn Nezuko back into a human.

Infinite Train Arc

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are assigned to assist Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, on a mission on the Infinity Train. A demon named Enmu infiltrates the train and uses his Blood Demon Art to put the slayers into deep sleep, making them live through their most cherished dreams. Thanks to Nezuko's help, Tanjiro wakes up and manages to decapitate Enmu. However, Enmu survives by fusing with the train. Together with his comrades, they protect the passengers and finally defeat Enmu. However, the victory is short-lived as they are confronted by Upper Rank 3, Akaza, resulting in a deadly battle that costs Rengoku his life.

Season 2: Streets of Joy

A situation arises when the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, attempts to abduct Aoi and Naho. Tanjiro intervenes and offers himself, Zenitsu, and Inosuke as replacements. They are tasked with disguising themselves as women and infiltrating a pleasure district, where Tengen's wives have gone missing. They uncover the presence of Upper Rank 6, Daki. Zenitsu gets captured, but is eventually rescued by Inosuke. During the ensuing battle, Tanjiro initially struggles, but Tengen manages to decapitate Daki. This results in the emergence of her brother Gyutaro from Daki's body, leading to a fierce battle that ultimately forces Tengen into retirement due to severe injuries.
