Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba

Storyline

Early 20th century Japan. For more than 1,000 years, people throughout the country have told stories about the existence of demons that come out at night and feast on human flesh, and of the demon slayers, a group of fighters who travel the country hunting down and killing said demons.

Tanjiro Kamado is a charcoal seller who lives secluded in the mountains with his widowed mother and his 5 younger siblings (3 brothers, and 2 sisters). Their lives are poor and difficult, but happy.

But one day, that happiness is shattered. Tanjiro returns home one morning from selling charcoal the day before, only to discover something truly horrible: All of his family members, except for Nezuko, the older of his two sisters, had been brutally slaughtered by a demon that night while Tanjiro was away, and to make matters worse, Nezuko has been turned into a demon. However, a miracle happened upon the two surviving siblings: Nezuko still retained her human mind.

And so, while enduring hellish training to become a strong Demon Slayer, and meeting new friends and allies along the way (such as the cowardly and girl-crazy Zenitsu Agatsuma, the wild and hot-tempered Inosuke Hashibira, and the calm and extremely selfless Giyu Tomioka), Tanjiro sets off on his long, hard, and dangerous journey to find a way to fully restore Nezuko's humanity, and to hunt down and destroy the one responsible for killing his family and turning his sister into a demon.
