Ep. 5: Tanjiro Survives Final Selection and Receives His First Demon Hunter Mission

After the demon dissolves and Urokodaki’s victims depart, Tanjiro survives the Final Selection alongside three others. The twins identify them as Mizunoto, the lowest rank, and assign Kaugai crows for communication. Tanjiro prevents an angry applicant from harming the twins. He returns to Urokodaki, finding Nezuko awake after a year and a half of slumber. Urokodaki believes she is recovering strength by sleeping rather than eating humans. Fifteen days later, swordsmith Haganezuka delivers Tanjiro’s new sword, which turns black upon being drawn, a rare occurrence. A Kaugai crow arrives with orders for Tanjiro to travel northwest to a town where young girls have been vanishing. He must kill the responsible demon, marking his first official assignment as a Demon Hunter.
