Demon Slayer: New Mission

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — In the twenty-sixth and final episode of the first season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Muzan Kibutsuji dismantles the lower rankings of the Twelve Kizukis, while Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu are assigned another mission.

The episode begins with the Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu continuing their training while maintaining Total Concentration Breathing Constant.

The remaining five lower rank kizukis, are summoned to a strange dimension that is controlled by a demoness with a biwa (short-necked wooden lute) using Blood Demon Art. The kizukis wonder why they have been gathered and why Rui (lower five) has not arrived, indicating that they were not aware that he had been killed.

Muzan Kibutsuji shows up under the guise of a female demon and the kizukis bow in his presence. He reveals that Rui was killed and admonishes the lower rank for being so weak. When one of the demons talks back, he kills him immediately.

One of the kizukis tries running when he realizes Kibutsuji is about to kill all of them, and is immediately killed. Kibutsuji announces that he is dismantling the lower rank kizukis and proceeds to kill all but one.

Kibutsuji gives the remaining kizuki more of his blood and demands him to kill the Hashiras, and specifically asks him to bring back the demon slayer with the hanafuda earrings, referring to Tanjiro.

Meanwhile, the Kasugai Crow assigns Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu to the Mugen Train, which Rengoku the flame Hashira was assigned to a few weeks ago. The crow notifies them that the demon is still at large and more people are dying, therefore, they were being summoned as back up for Rengoku.

It is revealed that Shinobu Kocho had recommended Tanjiro to the Master for the Mugen Train mission as he had exceeded all her expectations.

Tanjiro says his goodbyes to Kanao Tsuyuri and she flips a coin to decide if she should answer him. For the first time, she talks to Tanjiro. She explains that she makes all her decisions based on the side the coin lands. She explains that nothing matters enough to her that she can make a decision, but Tanjiro does not accept that.

He grabs her coin and flips it, if it lands on tails she continues using the coin to make decisions, and if its head she listens to her heart. It lands on head. Kanao is left speechless, and Tanjiro leaves her with a smile.

The Kocho triplets pack them food for the journey. Tanjiro manages to catch Giyu Tomioka, the water Hashira, before he leaves and thanks him for all his help and support.

The boys reach the Mugen Train station, and Inosuke is baffled by the vehicle as he has never seen one before. The train leaves the station and boys climb aboard.

The episode ends with them headed into the night, with Nezuko strapped securely on Tanjiro’s back.
