What makes Demon Slayer so popular is the combination of its epic story, endearing characters and thrilling action. The characters are all very distinct and have their own story and motivation. Tanjiro is a determined and brave character who is willing to do anything to save his sister, while Nezuko is a beloved character for her loyalty and determination to protect her family. The other demon hunters, such as Inosuke and Zenitsu, also add a touch of humor to the story. Comic Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc. April 1, 2019.

Upon learning about Rui's death, Muzan slaughters Kamanue, Mukago, Wakuraba, and Rokuro due to their constant failures. He spares Enmu and sends him on a mission to kill Tanjiro.

Several months later, the group is sent to Yoshiwara with Tengen, where they face off and kill Gyutaro and his sister Daki. Tengen retires from the Corps after suffering substantial injuries in the battle.
