Ep. 8: Tanjiro meets Tamayo and Yushiro while Kibutsuji’s demons attack their location
Kibutsuji bites his wife and escapes with his family, leaving Tanjiro restrained by police. Tamayo blinds the officers to help Tanjiro, revealing she and Yushiro are demons who refuse to eat humans. They take Tanjiro to their home, where Tamayo treats the bitten woman. She explains she removed Kibutsuji’s curse two hundred years ago, allowing her and Yushiro to survive on minimal blood. Tamayo asks to study Nezuko’s unique blood to find a cure for demons and requests samples from other powerful demons. Tanjiro agrees to assist. Meanwhile, Kibutsuji orders two demons, Susamaru and Yahaba, to retrieve Tanjiro’s head. Susamaru attacks with temari balls while Yahaba uses his palm eyes, and the pair assault the house where Tamayo and Tanjiro are located.
