- last year
The story of "Demon Slayer" Episode 1, also known as "Cruelty," introduces us to the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, and sets the foundation for his journey as a demon slayer.
The episode begins in a snowy mountainous area, where Tanjiro lives with his family. Tanjiro is a kind-hearted boy who supports his family by selling charcoal in the nearby village. One day, he decides to spend the night in the village due to the long journey back home.
When Tanjiro returns the next day, he finds his entire family brutally slaughtered by demons, with only his sister, Nezuko, surviving, albeit transformed into a demon herself. Tanjiro, devastated by the loss of his family, carries Nezuko and vows to find a way to turn her back into a human.
As Tanjiro and Nezuko make their way down the mountain, they encounter a demon slayer named Giyu Tomioka. Initially, Giyu is suspicious of Nezuko and tries to kill her, but Tanjiro pleads for her life, explaining that she hasn't harmed any humans. Giyu allows them to live but warns Tanjiro about the dangers of traveling with a demon.
Motivated by the desire to avenge his family and find a cure for Nezuko, Tanjiro seeks out a demon slayer training program. He meets Sakonji Urokodaki, a former demon slayer who lives deep in the forest. Urokodaki agrees to train Tanjiro and test his determination and strength.
Under Urokodaki's training, Tanjiro endures intense physical conditioning and combat training. He also learns about the existence of different breathing techniques that can enhance his strength and agility in battles against demons.
After a grueling training period, Tanjiro is finally ready to face his final test, known as the Final Selection. It is a life-or-death exam held in a dangerous forest filled with demons. Tanjiro must survive the night and defeat a powerful demon to become an official demon slayer.
