When he asks if she is able to walk on her own, Nezuko instead attempts to attack him, forcing him to put his hatchet’s handle in her mouth to prevent getting bit. Protected from the fall by the thick snow, Tanjiro looks up and sees his sister standing upright. She grabs Tanjiro and hurls themselves off the mountain path down a cliff. Without warning, Nezuko begins twitching and rears herself up as she groans in an animalistic manner. As he tries to make sense of what could have possible occurred, the cold air causes his breathing to weaken, and he struggles to carry her through the blizzard. Tanjiro carries Nezuko across the snowing mountain for help in the town, having felt that her body is the only one still warm. To his horror, his finds his mother and the rest of his family dead, with blood strewn throughout the house. In shock, he runs over to her body and asks what had happened, before turning his head and looking inside his house. In the front yard, he catches sight of a bloodied and lifeless Nezuko, with Rokuta in her arms. As he approaches his home, he suddenly detects the scent of blood and hurriedly runs to his house. Saburo, who had lost his family to demons, is pitied by Tanjiro and wishes to bring his siblings to meet him next time to give comfort.Īt dawn, he sets out for home and leaves Saburo’s residence. He then states that it is the reason Demon Slayers are present to protect them. Provided with a futon to sleep in, Tanjiro asks if demons would enter houses, to which Saburo says so. He tells them that demons devour humans and are only active in the dark, hence the peril of traversing the mountain at this time. Treated to dinner, Tanjiro asks the man, Saburo, about what demons are like. Though Tanjiro insists he is safe with his sense of smell, the man sternly tells him to take residence at his home for the night instead, as demons roam about during the night. With his basket empty and night having arrived, Tanjiro heads home but is stopped by an elderly neighbour living nearby, warning him not to enter the mountain. Another man beckons him over for help with heavy luggage. Using his sharp sense of smell, he deduces that a cat had broken it, to the man’s relief. Suddenly, he hears a hurt young man calling to him, accused by a store clerk of breaking a plate. Reaching a nearby town to begin selling his charcoal, Tanjiro hears several of the townsfolk commending and thanking him for his past deeds. They have always made the most of their uneasy life because life can change suddenly like the weather. Wishing him good luck as he leaves, Tanjiro mutters to himself about his family's living situation. She tells him that since their father’s death, they had all looked up to him as a role model. As he leaves, he encounters his younger sister Nezuko, carrying their youngest sibling Rokuta on her back. Takeo is somewhat annoyed at being unable to join him, causing Tanjiro to gently pat his head in reassurance, to his chagrin and the laughter of his family. He sees his other younger brother, Takeo, and instructs him to chop firewood for them. He reassures both of them, Hanako and Shigeru, that he will give them his attention after returning. Dismayed, they both tell Tanjiro of their willingness to help him. His younger brother and sister see him about to depart and wish to tag along with him their mother doesn’t allow them, since he will be walking much faster than them. To this, he explains his desire for everyone in his family to eat well for New Year, willing to sell as much charcoal as possible. Wiping the soot off his face, she tells him of her worry for his safety, due to heavy snowfall while he is selling. Walking through an intense blizzard with his wounded sister, a young boy begs her to stay alive, promising to save her no matter what.Īfter loading a basket of charcoal on his back, Tanjiro Kamado hears his mother call to him. But on the way, Nezuko suddenly snarls, turning on Tanjiro. Tanjiro rushes down the snowy mountain with the sole survivor, his sister Nezuko, on his back. One day, when he returns from selling charcoal in town, he finds the remains of his slaughtered family in pools of blood after a demon attack. Tanjiro Kamado is living a modest but blissful life in the mountains with his family.
