Ep. 7: Tanjiro battles demons in a black swamp and encounters Kibutsuji in Tokyo
Tanjiro leaves Nezuko to protect Kazumi and a human girl, entering a black hole to fight two demons. His Water Style creates a whirlpool that kills them, while Nezuko defeats the third demon until Tanjiro intervenes. He interrogates the demon about Kibutsuji Muzan, but the terrified creature attacks and dies. After Nezuko sleeps, Tanjiro returns her to her box. Kazumi is initially angry but apologizes after receiving Satoko's hairpin. Tanjiro vows to defeat Kibutsuji and receives directions to Asakusa, Tokyo from a Kasugai crow. Overwhelmed by the city, he rests in a park and follows Kibutsuji's scent. He spots Kibutsuji pretending to be a father with a human girl and mother. To distract Tanjiro, Kibutsuji cuts a passerby's neck, turning him into a demon.
